man, you are the most prolific songwriter! I just listened to one of your songs like a day ago! If music benefits from being identifiable to the everyday man, then you have a winner here. Everything your lyrics mention is identifiable to me, and I suspect to everybody. The upbeat quality of the song is at odds with the parts I identify with (getting beat up by life) so obviously the true point of the song is the positive message here i look around
at what i got
it ain't real fancy
it ain't a lot
but there's a roof
over my head
and there's a damn good woman
who shares my bed
a faithful dog, three squares
a house full of love
a man would have to be crazy
not to know that's enough although it has been my experience that far fewer people share that philosophy But I agree that is the part of life that's worth focusing on, and I thank you for writing a song to point that out "Enough-ness" : It's a beautiful thing. Any more than enough is too much. It’s quite a coincidence that Pat should reappear at the same time that you posted this. During Pat’s tour of Fl a few years back we had a conversation about “enoughness” . Your take on this subject is very well conceived and presented in a down to earth conversational tone. Great use of the real tracks and the build is exceptional. Great vocal, production and write. Could it be better? Nah I don’t think so, Tom Thanks, Tom. Always appreciated...

Thank God for sleep, and thank God for mornings. Sweet song. Loved the dynamic flow clean down to just voice and banjo for just that little bit. Wonderful production and your usual dusty, warm vocals. Really, really nice.

You have the gift of getting straight to the point in your music, and saying with ease and simplicity what so many others struggle to say and complicate in so doing.
Grateful to have the opportunity to hear this song of appreciation and gratitude for those things that we do have. Stunning message, superb production ... and the songwriting is, well, Floyd Jane standard ... i.e. a standard that someone like me admires and can only aspire to, for now at least :-) THANK YOU for sharing. Thanks for the very nice comments, James... Hi Floyd,
First you threatened you'll be gone and now you made clear you really did and move on!
But not in a normall way. No, you do that with very nice, sensitive songs with a powerfull voice.
And not only that, but your harmony vocals are very very good! I really enjoyed them while thinking "how does he do this or that"?
And the guitarplay is always so nice to listen to.
But I will not forget to mention your lyrics. I hope to come close to your writing skills one day (in English)
With 'I'll be gone' I wrote i hope you never do. With this title I hope you will, but only in a musical sense of course (if that is still posible).
I really enjoyed your song,
Hans Thanks, Hans. You are always nicely supportive of these efforts...

Hey, wherever you go, Floyd, please don't move on from here. Whenever I see a post from you I know it's push the Like button then push play and sit back to enjoy the best. You never fail to please, brother. You have a great way of speaking for us all. Nice of you to say. Marty...

Floyd,
An excellent write- the universal truths made light and real with personal details.
Your vocal and harmonies are so relaxed and clear- wonderful that I never even hear a hint of processing or effect.
Very very good songwriting, performance and production!
Robert Thanks, Robert. I appreciate all of that...

"a faithful dog, three squares
a house full of love
a man would have to be crazy
not to know that's enough"
That is worth the price of admission. Period.
Somebody mentioned Clint Black. We've been fans of him for years and we get the reference...lyrically, melodically and vocally.
Beyond the outstanding write and fine vocals the band is a testimony to the power of BiaB ... in talented hands. The choice of tracks and your mix present a most admirable soundstage. You set a very high bar when it comes to mixes that offer this level of openness and clarity. Oh, and the bit of clawhammer was a nice touch as is your artwork.
Janice said she will be singing it for days.
J&B
Thanks for the great review, y'all. If I can get ANYWHERE close to Clint "lyrically, melodically and vocally" wouldn't THAT be nice... And thanks for the comments on the mix...

I LOVE IT!!! So pleasant, so emotional, so easy to listen to!! You make it look easy....that's what the best in their field know how to do. You have managed to capture the mood perfectly.....that kind of melancholy which is just a part of the human condition.......things are good and I have a lot but still sometimes I struggle. Beautiful arrangement and the perfect vocal delivery......I swear you get to be a better singer every year!! A wonderful slice of FJ wizardry!! Great stuff my friend!! Take care. Greg

Floyd you are a master wordsmith who is also a great musician and has the skill to produce radio ready songs one after the other. It is always a pleasure to hear one of your songs.
These lyrics are so true and something that a lot of us, including myself, take for granted:
i look around
at what i got
it ain't real fancy
it ain't a lot
but there's a roof
over my head
and there's a damn good woman
who shares my bed
This is one fantastic song.
Thanks, Mario. Appreciate that... Top quality from the word 'go'... No up's and down's with this song. Enjoyed it all from start to finish. Thanks, Charlie. Hope that you will find a way of "movin' on" - sorry for your loss...

Loved the lyrics great song very relatable love instrument choices well done sir eric Thanks, eric... Hi floyd jane,
I have my dog who put his head on my knees and we listen to your song. She is superb both in terms of the arrangement, your voice and well-written lyrics. Shana, my dog and I thank you for these pleasant moments. We appreciated.
Kindly regard
Take care of yourself
Jacques Derochette et Shana, my lovely dog
alias JaniJackFlash
Thanks for stopping by, Jacques... Floyd,
While I was waiting for the annoying SoundCloud ads to run before the song kicked in, it gave me a chance to give the lyrics a good read. Boy, I like this write a lot—really concise, focused, saying just what it needs to. Add to it your usual solid production, and what you got is a top notch little country tune. You make it look easy!
All my best to you,
Deej I appreciate that, Deej... Interesting - I have never seen a Soundcloud ad pop up...

Wonderful production and your usual dusty, warm vocals. Really, really nice. Thanks, Tangmo. I tried to listen to your latest, but it had been removed. I'll catch on the flip-flop... I LOVE IT!!! So pleasant, so emotional, so easy to listen to!! You make it look easy....that's what the best in their field know how to do. You have managed to capture the mood perfectly.....that kind of melancholy which is just a part of the human condition.......things are good and I have a lot but still sometimes I struggle.

floyd,
The use of Guitars is very fantastic.
The use of other instruments is also wonderful.
I think you really are a master of BIAB.
As Pat says, you are the most prolific songwriter.
And every song is very professional.
Your vocals sound really comfortable as usual.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.
Shigeki Adachi
