Floyd,
That intro is some slick stuff! One immediately recognizes pro quality production at work here!
That piano working with the drums is so sweet and man do they sound good! Every instrument lays in the perfect spots!
This is such a good song and your vocal performance does it justice!
Excellent!
Thanks, Torrey

Floyd, you are one amazing talented musician! EVERYTHING you do is so professional. Your vocals, backing tracks, lyrics, mix, etc are always just what is needed for every song you do. I wish I had half of your talent.
Another winner.
Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up.
Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

FJ,
the pause before the chorus is emblematic of this song.
It's perfectly timed, creates expectation and follows through.
Kitchen sink/living room drama.
The known as comfort, creation and new discovery.
ACED it! ray - thanks for all of that!!... Hi Floyd,
You really have a way of coming up with songs that invoke such sweet and real to life imagery. Great mix and vocals. I enjoyed listening to it. Thanks, Bawb... Hi Floyd,
Another excellent song - good chord progression, lyrics and powerful vocals.
Best Regards
Nigel
Thanks, Nigel...

Hello Floyd,
This is you, in and out!
It's going to be hard to find superlatives to describe the quality of your song, the band and its mix.
They are all very good/ outstanding.
What I liked very much was that guitar you hear after each sentence in the verse, kind of stacato rhythm.
I don't know how to describe that in proper English, but it gives a nice kind of tension.
Except the somewhat sudden end, it is a -very nice- straight forward song, with supernice lyrics.
Nice to listen to, in your chairs, with your wife and a glass of whatever and dreaming of the times that were.
At least, that's what it did to me. And my wife grinned...
Enjoy your day,
Hans
Thanks, Hans...glad that y'all could share a moment over this...  Floyd,
Another polished pro-sounding song... Amazing production and vocal.
Absolutely loved it!
Bob Really appreciate that, Bob....

Hi Floyd,
A classic Rock Ballad!
Loved the whole thing and there was even a guitar solo.
I was thinking that the solo could have been a tad longer, but then we got the reprieve at the end, so all good.
Everything as polished and professional as ever, with your signature emotive vocal delivery.
Mix sounds good on the Sennheisers and even better up LOUD on the Tannoys.
Spot-on.

FJ.
nice lyrics and laid back feel.
i echo bob, very polished production.
best
om
Thanks, om...
Floyd,
This is my favorite vocal of yours so far.
Really outdid yourself on that.
The rest is awesome as always.
Thanks, David. I've been surprised by how many folks have singled out the vocal. I thought it was "less than it should be" and thought it might need to be done over... ya never know..

Starts with an intriguing intro both instrument and chordwise. Very nice romantic lines with good details of your everything, from a tear to a dance. Strong chorus. Nice emotional vocals. Very good mix, enjoyed the drum sound. The guitar solo could have been longer.

Pardon me. Might be a bit hard to type. Just moments ago, the corners of my mouth lifted and that must have put some pressure on my tear-ducts.
Continuing. Lyrically so very intimate. Shown, not told.
Musically, the band is so well integrated into the song. This is miles above words plastered over a backing. This is 100% song-writing. Fantastic.
Production is exquisite. Graceful little lifts with the strings and guitar fills. Just enough, just when it works.
Not every song can be better than the last one, or we'd all achieve something near to perfection if we just keep at it. Your next one might suffer for all that went into this one,, but this one is damn near the best I've heard. Let the next one fend for itself.

Sounds great Floyd. I didn't realize you could use that many tracks out of BIAB.
Do you export the SuperMidi as .Wav or as Midi?

A love story gem of the rarest kind. We love the way you captured those little everyday moments that we have that make us realize (REALLY!) how fortunate we are to be sharing life with our knight in shining armor or fairy princess. I (Janice) was singing along with you, and just like I do when learning a part for one of your songs, I'd find that I had stopped singing because I was enjoying your vocal so much! Yes, as my sister used to say, "that voice" is the one I want to have on the desert island. After Janice's thoughts I (Bud) find getting into the band and mix almost distracts. But the choice of tracks is outstanding (those drums) and the mix sparkles in the best manner of a great singer/songwriter production. I can at least pretend in my dreams that I wrote this for my bride And the album cover is superb. J&B

The lyrics conjure some lovely images, Floyd and the vocals and production are as polished and professional as always. Another high quality entry in the FJ songbook.
Regards,
Leon Thanks, Leon! You say love song, and it's surely a song to love. Such quality, such talent, such passion. I like what Ray says a bout the pause before the chorus. Man, you sure have an uncanny ability to make songs memorable. I've read or heard many pros talk about what's important in song writing and each and every song you do checks all the boxes as if YOU are the one they all talked about. Thanks, Floyd. You're makin' me blush, man....

Nice melody that especially captivating in the chorus.
I loves this verse:
your eyes shine when you're scheming
an easy, innocent read
you dance in the kitchen
i move in for the lead
All so good!

Floyd Jane...
I am beginning to regard your songwriting/performing legacy on the User's Forum not as a series of (very fine) productions released over a period of time, but rather a continuous, stream-of-musical-consciousness that flows out of the root of your being and then branches out into these songs that, in my opinion, simply reveal the many rooms that exist in your heart. Kind-of-like a tree that grows different kinds of fruits -- apples, then oranges, then grapes, then peaches -- each with their own taste and texture, but all of them sweet.
You sing about love, but then you describe scenes that vividly flesh-out the tone and the feeling of the kind of love you're crooning about: "...you dance in the kitchen, I move in for the lead." What a beautiful line, a moment in time captured and freeze-framed for the benefit of future generations. Unforgettable, man.
The music sounds inevitable, as though the notes were the only ones the lyrics would accept. Your singing is passionate not for what you express that is explicit in the lyrics, but for what you leave for us to imagine.
It is a sublime pleasure to witness your ever-developing artistry as a songwriter.
Loren - thanks for the great review. It is always a pleasure to read your musings...

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
