floyd, Janice & Bud,
It's a song that uses a minor key, which is rare for you. The atmosphere is very relaxed and duets with Janice are great. The mix using effects very well, also perfectly directs this song. It sounds very professional. Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.

Floyd, Bud and Janice....this is such a well crafted song....lyrically, melodically and performancially (I made that word up just for you guys)...your voices are a great male-female duo...the harmonies were so tasteful and spot-on and the melancholy mood of the song was a great match for your arrangement...hope you know I'm a big fan of you all!! Dan Thanks, Dan... Floyd and the gang,
To start off, that steel really is a mood setter! The chorus is powerful!
I like the little muted guitar parts in the second verse and Janice's backing really serves this song well!
"i got boots older than most of them" Love that line!
You just keep cranking out one great tune after another and they are always inspiring to many of us!
Thanks, Torrey
Thanks, Torrey.... Floyd, Janice & Bud, I don`t know how you do it, Floyd, but your vocals ( delivery and processing) are still getting better. This is a powerful write and the expression you bring (along with the ache in Janice`s harmonies) makes for wonderful listening. Top shelf in every way!
Robert
Thanks, Robert.... Kind of rainy autumn feeling in the lyrics, and I love the melancholy mood, still the chorus has positive direction "sun on my face, wind at my back". Beautiful intro, the steel guitar fits perfectly with the chording. Drums and the muted guitar are introduced nicely. Enjoyed the vocals and especially how Janice's sadness oozing harmonies still manage to deliver the "sun on my face".
Janne Thanks, Janne...

Hey this is an incredibly well-mixed tune! Loved it!
I am not sure what this message in the lyrics means though:
Your browser does not support the audio element. THE RIGHT TRACK
etc...
too long in this town, too long in shadow
Anyway, I tried out Audiolens for the first time with this streaming tune and got this curve.
Cool!
Keep 'em coming folks! Y'all sound great! Always a vocal buffet of gorgeousness.
p.s. I ran a Luke Combs song through IKM's MasterMatch and ran this one through as well..
Yours has a LUFS of about 12, and a nice Dynamic Range of 10 to 11 (as I remember), which the same way I master my tunes. And I see your peak is -0.3. I often do the same.
The Luke Combs song "The Kind of Love We Make" also peaks at -.3 but has a LUFS of 7 and a DR of 3.7.
I guess it is mastered for the speaker set ups in Dodge RAMS but I enjoy songs mixed and mastered like this, FWIW.
"Your browser does not support the audio element." - is a message I pick up when I copy the lyric from my web site. Just forgot to delete it... I find that most commercial releases these days have a small DR. And typically the vocals are really squished to have almost no DR. Intentionally. The vocal sounds the same from start to finish. It helps the vocal sit in the mix. A lot of folks would benefit from doing something similar... Thanks for stopping by!! The whole team is on the 'right track' with this song. Stellar write, performance and production.
Charlie Thanks, Charlie... Wow Floyd, this is really great! This collab turns out so fine. The music is awful, your voice fantastic, wonderful lyrics. Janice's vocals sound lovely.
Love this.
Rob and Anne-Marie
Thanks, y'all.... Your music fits Bud's lyric so well.
Janice's echo vocal lines add another dimension to the song.
I really like the band. It evokes the lonely traveler.
Great one. Thanks, Scott.... Floyd, Janice and Bud,
Everything in /on this song is beautiful: The lyrics, The Melody The vocals, The Band The mixing / mastering
I loved it a lot!
Hans Thanks, a bunch, Hans.... Excellent Floyd and Janice. Love the vocal dynamics and harmonies.
Vic Thanks, Vic... F,J&B, I knew I would be in for a treat when I hit play. I wasn't wrong. The production is top notch. The write is terrific. The vocals are stunning. What a great choice for Janice to echo those two lines. That is the surprise filling inside the treat! I don't think anything can be improved on. Fantastic job by all, Tom Appreciated, Tom....

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."
