floyd
Doing a bit of a catch up - unsurprisingly this sounds wonderful.
You and Janice sound superb together.
Some overall great phrasing, a strong lyric and a great production.
Pro all the way.
Peter Thanks, Peter. Good to have you back... REALLY cool and contemporary too.
The vocals are the stars - it could be a softly strummed guitar or just the piano & it'd be ACE still. ray - thanks for that!!

The thing that really caught my attention was how the melody didn't align with the beat. So there's an interplay between where the lyric is expected to start - on the downbeat - and actual start, which is quite unpredictable. Very cool. I had my son listen to it, and his comment was that he thought it had some odd rhyme scheme that he couldn't work out, which was also my impression. But that's not the case at all. A sort of "aural" illusion. And if I were Noel, I could mention how this is reflective of the singer's emotional turmoil and confusion, and how this prosody aligns with the teaching of Pat Pattison.  Everything else has pretty much been said. Excellent work, as usual. Fun (and educational) listen.

Hi, Floyd & Janettes !:))
What a beautiful tune so
wonderfully performed by
you and the Janettes !:))
What can I say ! I just
love it !:))
Cheers
Dani
Thanks, Dani! Beautiful!
Love your vocal, very emotive and heartfelt. And always a treat to hear the janettes in there! (I respectfully disagree with Misha, I think Janice is sitting exactly where she should be in the mix)
Nice intro! And that beat track really works well too, gives it a more modern sound.
Always a treat to listen to your mixes, listened through both the monitors and the 'phones, great sound through both.
Enjoyed! Thanks, Dave. (and thanks for the comment on the mix...)

One good song after another. Pretty amazing, FJ.
And as always, the production and the Jannettes are winning combinations.
Take care.

A winning write, arrangement, production and performance. What a song this could be for the Oak Ridge Boys. Excellent across the board and as always, enjoyed my listen a lot. Floyd, Bud and Janice - PGMusic should send you guys out on a national tour. I'll volunteer to run sound and be the back seat driver to annoy the bus driver. HAHAHA! Thanks for that fine, funny review, Charlie... I'm always pleased when you find time to stop by for a listen... Yep... agree... good stuff.
Like the clap track. You know that's hot stuff in Nashtown now.....! Thanks, Herb. What to say? We knew from the get go that participating in this would be fun, and I'll say it, an honor. Even though your writes are obviously way strong enough to be recorded by the "star" it's hard to imagine this without a floyd jane vocal. Strong, powerful and emotive. All of that stuff in spades. Janice enjoyed adding her part and Bud enjoyed hearing her work it up...in the kitchen Wowser!!!! J&B Thanks for being a part of this (as always!!)

Where do I start, your ability to come up with melody lines is truly insprirational. the beat really gives it a contempary feel,and what can I say about the marvalous backing vocals.another killer track from start to finish.The production as always is spot on .thanks for sharing Fj John - thanks for the listen and the nice review... Floyd,
Sweet tune . . . you’re at the top of your game vocally here on this one. I’ll give a shout out as well for your back up singer—nice job on the harmonies. So easy to listen to this one. Smooth, smooth, smooth . . . enjoyed it.
My best to you,
Deej Thanks, Deej...

I have run out of adjectives describing how good you are.
It has been previously said that this is radio ready. I agree and in fact I would much rather listen to songs like this than anything on the radio today.
You both should be very proud of this one. Thanks for the nice review, Mario... What a cool chord progression Floyd. Very easy to get wrapped up in the song. Loved the way you delivered the vocal. Just perfect. As always love the way you can make the instruments blend so well together but still be able to pick out each one so clearly. Such a cool mix. Well done... Scott - Thanks. I appreciate the comments on the mix!! HI Floyd ...
I see the "bar setter" has raised that bar just a bit more.
As always, your songs and their delivery is so pro. Not only are your lyrics some of the very besy on the forum, but your sense of production/arrangement is second to none. Loved this!
When that kick drum started near the beginning, the song just took of and soared, never losing it's high flight along the way. Simply great.
Alan Alan - thanks for your always-positive words. Much appreciated. It is always nice to have folks appreciate the writing and the productions...

Well, that just gave me the shivers. A terrific song delivered with amazing passion, Floyd. Beautiful vocals both. The pro production is gentle, just right for the emotions expressed. A very enjoyable listen.
Cheers
John John - I certainly appreciate that. "...just gave me the shivers" - couldn't ask for a better response than that!! The thing that really caught my attention was how the melody didn't align with the beat. So there's an interplay between where the lyric is expected to start - on the downbeat - and actual start, which is quite unpredictable. Very cool. I had my son listen to it, and his comment was that he thought it had some odd rhyme scheme that he couldn't work out, which was also my impression. But that's not the case at all.

Everything else has pretty much been said. Excellent work, as usual. Fun (and educational) listen. David - I always enjoy reading your comments on a song - always thoughtful... the overall feel of this developed as I worked on the production - adding, subtracting until it settled into that rhythm. I'm not clever enough to predict it beforehand... One good song after another. Pretty amazing, FJ.
And as always, the production and the Jannettes are winning combinations.
Take care. Scoot - I appreciate you stoppingin for a listen and a comment.... Thanks!! JANICE - as always.......

Beautiful mellow chord progression, adding some soul to a country song.
Soft arrangement mixed perfectly, drums bring modern feeling and also sort of a broken heartbeat.
Great vocals, I like those almost spoken words hurt/dark, the harmonies work really well.
The second verse starts unexpectedly - very interesting approach.
Janne

Another radio worthy song from you. And again, your vocals are good in both technique and interpretation. Thanks for sharing your art.

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."
