Floyd,
Fantastic. For a guy like me... you're setting the bar on songwriting and using BIAB as a production tool.
Cheers,
Frank Frank - I appreciate you stopping by for a listen... FJ, Punchy tune. Yet, I like that it is not too busy instrumentally, so focus goes to overall composition and vocals, not just loop hooks. Vocals and airy mix are excellent! (It is hard to picture bad mix from you  ) Sometimes we get carried away with all the cool tracks and jam things in, forgetting that we are only humans. I like the rest, you made at 0:54, giving time to regroup & repeating at the end. Nice one! Thank you for sharing. Misha. Thanks, Misha....nice of you to say... Hi Floyd
Very engaging tune. Your pop side clearly has plenty to offer. Sheer class all the way, as per usual.
Regards,
Leon Thanks, Leon! Always nice to hear from you...

Cool tune. Sounds like something that plays on the radio these days.
Good job. I'll listen on some cans later. Thanks, Herb. Glad you stopped by. Floyd, you have another winner on your hands. I could relate to this song as I have said that about my wife!
You are the total package, songwriter, engineer, and producer.
I really liked your various reverbs on those drums. That was brilliant!
This should be on the radio today!
Thanks, Mario. Cool that you noticed the varying drums reverb...

Hi Floyd,
Sorry to come in on the party so late! But...Wow, man! Most of what I could think to say about your tune has already been said by others. Listening to your song from the beginning to the end was a pure treat for the ears. Thanks for posting it, I enjoyed it. This is too good for radio. You need to put a video together and put it on YouTube or something.

A very contemporary sound, without contemporary vacuous lyrics.
As others have said, the song sticks in your head.
Production is smooth and simply fabulously produced. Thanks, Scott. A track like this raises some questions for me - like, "Why haven't I heard this on the radio?" and, "Why didn't I write something like this?" and, "Why not play it again?"
Great arrangement - so much light and shade. Excellent lyric and vocals - sung with conviction. Peerless production. I appreciate that, Brian. Good of you to drop by.

Sounds great man. Just loved this. Beautiful mix of instruments by the way.
Top notch dude.
Thanks, Mr. Snyder!! Now this is getting a little weird. I post a song about a girl being off limits and wouldn’t you know? This has actually happened many times over the years. We had similar postings about Texas, baseball, etc. The next one I post will be so far out there it will stretch the the limits of your mind reading abilities to come up with a match. This is a modern sounding pop styled country song. Excellent vocals. Production second to none. An excellent write even if the theme was taken from what can only be described as our own psychic privately shared songwriting idea cloud. I can’t think of anyone better to have such similar ideas with than you. Oh yeah, Great song, Tom HA! I can't follow you to "Sante Fe" - I've already spent my only Latin-flavored song ("Ybor City Lullaby") a couple of years ago and have nothing to match the theme at present (though "Take Me Back" would have done it, I think - again, already posted some time ago). But I'm certain we will line up again soon. Thanks for the great comments!! Great work Floyd excellent job in all respects. Thanks, Rob!!

Well Floyd, I read all the reactions from everyone and now I don't know what to write about your song other than it is -of course- a very nice, well sung song. And it has that nice 'Pop' flow in the chorusses. I like that very much. Especially how you used the double vocals in it. It gives the song more 'drive'. And your band has good chosen instruments.
I only wonder, did you played the acoustic guitar yourself (again) or are you still using the software guitars?
Excellent work altogether,
Hans Thanks for the ice comments, Hans. This time the acoustic guitar is a loop. If you listen closely, you can hear that it is simply 4 chords that repeat through the song.

I don't know Floyd, what can be said? It just sounds great. It is amazing what you do with BIAB.
The sustain on the guitar is super smooth. Drums are very cool sounding. Pro vocals. Better than any demo that exist in BIAB that I have listen to.
You are certainly up there with the top drawer studio musicians. Good stuff!
Cheers,
Billy

I thought I'd posted on this one earlier but it immediately left my mind to posting comments to go grab a link to send you by PM. Didn't get to either until this morning... This is a top level production of a current topic for today's country sound. Nice attention to detail and a wonderful job orchestrating the music. Everything has it's place. It's a good song and I enjoyed it from start to finish... then rewind and play it again...

Wow, what a great song. Sounds alot like Brooks and Dunn. It is really in their style. Enjoyed the listen!! Ronnie - thanks for stopping by. I never mind a comparison like that. Thanks! The dynamics, the mix, the arrangement, and ofc your voice. All fits perfectly in this little jewel! I appreciate that, Angelo... Still amazed by the number of good songs you write, Floyd.
There's a new country artist on the radio, Kane Brown. Very eclectic productions like this one and definitely not Grandad's country. So there you are, in addition to being such a good songwriter you're a cutting edge producer too.
Well done.
Scoot - thanks for all of that. I'm not a big fan of Kane Brown's stuff, but there is plenty of other current Country (in the "modern" style) that I do like. I generally listen to a new Country record almost every day and that turns out to be a mix of current-and-modern to throwback-traditional (though mostly in the 90's style)....

I was going to say "This should be a hit", but instead I'll say "This IS a HIT"!!! So catchy, so good, so exhilarating!! Another masterpiece from the master!! This should be in a film.....it is absolutely perfect for a romantic, coming of age comedy! BRILLIANT!!! Take care. Greg Thanks, Greg. Those are comments I will re-read a few times. The first thing that grabbed us was the outstanding lead vocal and the layered harmony. A good two verse and a chorus tune always impresses us. You mentioned to me years ago that if you have something to say often that structure is sufficient Although on the periphery of pop country what Ezekiel said is certainly obvious as this lyric is assuredly not vacuous! Your always fine band is present and the finger snaps were a nice addition. The arc of the build was really cool. From old school country to jazz to blues to rock to pop you are amazing... As Janice says, "well he is Obiwan!" Nice art work also. J&B Thanks for those very nice comments, y'all!! (and thanks for noticing the album cover )

Floyd: If country really is trying to find itself like it says it is, it might look in your direction, should I say, listen in your direction. Thanks for that nice idea, ed... Hi Floyd,
Sorry to come in on the party so late! But...Wow, man! Most of what I could think to say about your tune has already been said by others. Listening to your song from the beginning to the end was a pure treat for the ears. Thanks for posting it, I enjoyed it. This is too good for radio. You need to put a video together and put it on YouTube or something. Thanks, Bawb!! I did consider doing a video (I've seen a few simple ones lately that I wanted to emulate). Not sure that that will ever happen, though. Videos are a LOT of work if you don't work on them often (for me, anyway)... Man Floyd how great this song is!!! You killed it. I cant help but here Brooks & Dunn on this one. I love it Cliff Thanks, Cliff. I appreciate that...

Floyd, you are a genius songwriter.
Your phrasing, lyrics, musicality is second-to-none.
"she's by my side
bare feet on the dashboard
of this country boy's ride"
Oh, wow, how fantastic. Everything about your songwriting is always extraordinary.
Another winner.
