Smooth. Well done, everyone involved.
The electric piano was a standout here.

a sad story or drink won't erase that last goodbye
Nice visual. I like the way it was immediately linked into the narrative.

Floyd/J&B, this another wonderful song from you! Deeply tugs at the heart and emotions. The writing on this just can't get any better! The acoustic solo guitar puts this over the top! Thanks, Torrey

The Team of Floyd and Janice and Bud continue to demonstrate their amazing ability to deliver the absolutely perfect material every time.
This is no exception. The recording skill, the mix, the balance, the vocals all are an endless testament to consistent skill, precision, and quality from this team. Yes, this is no exception.
Trev - you are always so kind with your comments. We all appreciate that... Thanks!!

Yes! You had me right from that opening with the Steel, what a great sound!
Your vocals always sound good, but over the last couple of songs have been just over the top good, just perfect to these ears.
Love it when Janice comes in, you two always sounds great together.
Excellent writing, I especially like the chorus.
Arrangement and mix are top notch as usual.
Really enjoyed this one!

Hello Bud, Floyd and Janice.
David C. already quoted my favorite lyrical couplet. But I'll be redundant:
a half finished book next to a fifth of gin
a sad story or drink won't erase that last goodbye
Such excellent lyrical artistry is not all that common ... but it's so evident throughout this song. And, as ever, the vocal, arrangement and presentation is exactly where it should be. Don't know what else to say. it's good! Best to all of you ...

Floyd,Bud & Janice,
There`s a masterly touch to the pacing and emotional pitch of this ballad; the chorus is especially well written.
Everything serves the song to a T- vocals,harmonies and arrangement ( love that gentle nylon guitar in the background).
Wonderful!
Robert Robert - thanks for such a nice review. Couldn't ask for more... Appreciate you stopping by - always...

Hi Floyd, Janice & Bud,
A beautiful song, beautifully performed.
Nearly had me in tears.
Super backing, super vocals, seamless harmony from Janice and an excellent mix.
Nice solo, if brief...
Enjoyed the whole thing.
ROG ROG - Thanks! We appreciate that!!

Cool stuff there. Great job writing as usual.
Nice mello feel. The groove has a feeling of the kind of resignation in the character's words in the song. well done.

Man, what humbling talents. The lyrics are written with the singer in mind, using the appropriate phonetic that keeps the vocal relaxed, while simultaneously composing a compelling feeling. Outstanding in so many way. Bud, Janice and Floyd, you guys present the best of the best this forum have to offer. Love this!!! Very nice of you to say, Marty. We all appreciate that...

Really enjoyed this from the opening bars onwards. That electric piano sounds sumptuous and immediately sets the right mood for the excellent laid back vocals. The lyrics are just masterful as is the production. In fact, everything about this song is wonderful and to my mind, the only thing that would have have made it even better would have been an extended instrumental break (either guitar or piano), but that's just personal preference and would have taken it over the four minute mark. This song could be used to advertise the high level that can be achieved when BIAB is in the hands of skilful people. Well done Floyd, Bud & Janice ! Andy - thanks for stopping by - and for the very fine review. This does not seem to me like a song that ought to have an extended solo. The little bit of soloing back-and-forth between the piano and nylon guitar seemed more appropriate (I think). Thanks, again...

PERFECTION???? MAYBE!!!! WOOOOOW!!!! I love EVERYTHING (I'm talking EVERYTHING, that's EVERYTHING) about this!!!! The band could not be better if the players were picked for this song specifically! Love the space in the arrangement, and the beautiful vocals (singing incredible lyrics) that fill it. There's a word that is overused, so I make a point of not using it, but I'm gonna now: BRILLIANT!!! Great job all!!! Take care. Greg

Hi Floyd
Very nice song. Hard to go wrong with this cast. While I hesitate to venture even a hint of criticism, I would have liked Janice to come in a little earlier (just cause I love hearing her sing).
Regards,
Leon
