Excellent!

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.

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... smile

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.

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... smile 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 smile

And the album cover is superb.

J&B

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!

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...
