Really good as per usual, floyd! Great song, pro mix. "this endless quiet is deafening", nice! I love your vocal and especially the BGV's, the way you have them mixed in. I'm not usually a fan of the fade out ending, but fading on that guitar outro works well. You will make a country fan out of me yet!

Hi, Floyd. Man, I should really have my "Comment For Floyd" in my clipboard, so I can paste it here. You are definitely my favorite lyricist, and that's not limited to this forum. The way you think of the story and how you have just the perfect twist of phrase is truly a gift that you have honed to perfection --most likely without even trying.
What a very nice thing to say, Marty... Much appreciated!!!
"her favorite jeans
are draped on the chair
her magazines
are still scattered everywhere"
What a great opening. Seems like the perfect first paragraph of a great book that one won't be able to put down. ...And a great way to identify JUST the way a song ought to open! Here's hoping we can all do THAT everytime we write!!...

After posting for nearly a decade it's no secret that you are both a great writer and singer. And, man, would this ever be a fine tune to point the uninitiated toward.
Janice never fails to comment on your phrasing when she first hears a fj song. One of the many subtleties that separates a good singer from a great singer.
When you counseled us years ago on writing, e.g., bricks vs mortar, we became aware of it's not only rich imagery but how that imagery is laid out -- lyrically and vocally. Guess it is a juxtaposition of rich and sparse. No small feat.
You may have figured it out by now ... we love every aspect of this production!

Man, this is smokin' Floyd.
Love the tracks you chose and the performance all around.
The gutsy vibe of the guitars and mix is great.

What an excellent production on this song Floyd. It sounded so good on my speakers. Awesome vocal and lyric. Loved the tempo of the song. Kept me hanging on to each word in the lyric. So very well done.. Thanks, Scott - much appreciated!! FJ, "endless quiet is killing me" Nice! Very well written modern theme tune with lots of emotion. Powerful vocals! Andy's strings fit very nicely. Sorry, I could not find anything to "pick on" Sounds great! I like the artwork you used. Thank you for sharing, Misha. Thanks for the nice comments, Misha. And Thanks! for mentioning my artwork, too!!

Hi floyd jane,
i like your descriptive lyrics that bring your story to life. Beautiful orchestration with a suite of well-choosen chords . The very discreet mandolin brings more to your instrumentation. I apprecied.
Kindly regard
Derochette
alias JaniJackFlash Thank you, Derochette.... floyd
Signature sound, vocals, lyrics (superb) and production.
Could easily be on your "Best Of" album.
Lovely work all round.
Peter Appreciated, Peter.... Hello Floyd,
And there you are with another example of craftsmanship in music making!
I read in all posts I'm not alone with this statement.
A very good song, good lyrics that give some idea about the 'endless quitness' of a sudden end of a relation.
The only thing is you made me curious what happened? She didn't even took het jeans with her...
And beside all compliments on the song, I think the bariton fitted very nice in it. I like using them in my songs.
Have I said I enjoyed this song?
Hans Thanks, Hans. I guess sometimes they want to get away so badly, they leave their favorite jeans behind...

Super work again Floyd! I would expect no less from you! You sure know how to craft a top level song! I could go on and on about all the little things coming together here that make this great, but what caught my ears first was the beautiful work with those vocal harmonies...outstanding! Your at the very pinnacle of the best in Country writer/singer/producers ect. around here! Glad I have the opportunity to hear these songs here before they catch on big time somewhere down the road! Take care, Torrey Torrey - thanks for the very fine review. Appreciated... Hey FJ,
You are such a consistently good writer, producer and artist. It's always fun to hear what you are going to do next. Hope to be around more to do that...God willing and neither of us has to face any weather disasters. I especially like the lyrics and production and the repeat on killing me. Josie Thanks, Josie. Always nice to see you drop by...

I'm not usually a fan of the fade out ending, but fading on that guitar outro works well. You will make a country fan out of me yet! Thanks, Dave! (I've always liked a good fade ending when it "fits the song"...)

A beautiful write!!!! A few decades ago, I took some songwriting classes from Steve Seskin. He said songs are made of furniture and emotion. Furniture is a description of an environment.......a picture for the listener. FJ is a MASTER of furniture!!! The descriptions are always so evocative ("gravel crunching").....puts you right there......you can hear it!! That is the product of the raw talent of imagination and years dedicated to a craft!!! And, on the emotion part, Floyd pretty much nails it too!!! A great song from a great writer!!!! Take care. Greg

Excellent.
The first thing I usually do is read through the lyrics before I listen to the song. I knew this would be good because you kept the essential words for your message. There was no trying to put too many words in a line.
Musically, this was very pleasing. I enjoyed the production, especially the stereo spread and instrument choices.
