...pretty self explanatory.... BIG DREAMS do you remember all those big dreams i talked of all the time almost every day a new scheme i know i drove you clean out of your mind i was gonna be such a big deal i was gonna conquer the world wishin' on a star i'd make it real and give it all to you girl promises i'd whisper tender soft and low but in the end it was just you and me girl where'd those big dreams go tried to make it work in hollywood nashville and new york, too making ends meet the best we could trying to see those big dreams through but nothing ever seemed to catch hold nothing really went my way up against a wall weary and cold til i finally had to call it a day promises i'd whisper tender soft and low but in the end it was just you and me girl where'd those big dreams go now look at us after all these years all the hard times, heartaches and tears we beat the odds we made it through me and you promises we whisper you to me, me to you in the end it's all we need, girl big dreams can come true...

Nice one.
That's a common story that resonates well with the vast majority of folks.... which in the case of a song.... works well.
Loved how the bridge turned it around and refocused on the couple...and that what really matters is the important things....and that's the big dream in the end.

This is another wonderful song from you. Lovely vocals and harmonies plus spot on mix.
I enjoyed the song from the beginning to the end.
Thanks

The changes for the chorus are classic, and very effective,in lifting the song and expectations.
I had this cranked as the intro was so gentle and the vocals came in as quite a shock...I then turned things down and started again...works perfectly at "reasonable" volume/levels.
The string squeak at 3.09 either adds authenticity or is annoying - depending on the listener.
It bothered me - but only for a moment.
Yet another sincere, relatable narrative - you do them really well and there's no sign of staleness or overwrought compensating - set to a succinct backing and communicated with THAT voice.
REALLY, really cool.
Cheers

Easy listening - relaxed beat, mellow singing, laid back arrangement. Subtle harmonies. Good mix. The banjo was a nice addition. And of course, well sung. One of those writes that signals the "twist" far in advance, but it's still so sweet when it finally lands.

Floyd,
You're still at the head of the class teaching the rest of us how it's done!
Love that finger picked guitar in this, it really has a warm sound that is the backbone of the track! Vocals are setting so sweetly in the mix (bg vox also)!
It's another exceptionally good song that should have mass appeal!
You always impress me every time I listen! Thanks, Torrey

Good song. The happy ending was nice. Good story the lyrics tell - that's hard to do. The band was spot on. Good work.

It's always a high point in my day when I click on the forum and you've posted a new tune. I think most people can relate to this song. Most people don't see their dreams realized. To that extent, I thought perhaps your 'happy ending' was unrealistic. But people want a happy ending - no, they need that happy ending. So you made the right call.
Beautiful production that invites multiple listens, as usual.

Music is an expression that is a universal language, Never criticize anybody to harshly. They need time to grow but when they do, they do. Always be kind in what you say and do because the man upstairs is watching.

Another professional FJ masterpiece.
Outstanding as usual.
A song about big dreams, something all of us had in our youth.
Loved it.
Unclear if the pianist is a total beginner or a professional jazz player?
