Powerful slower tempo song. Excellent, deep vocals and smooth harmonies. Ace work on the drums (I assume these are the loops?) and overall production is a very PRO level. Solid collaboration. Thank you for sharing.

Misha.


Much appreciated, Misha....

What's not to like about one of your songs? You generally check all the right boxes and this one is no exception to that rule.

Quite an enjoyable listen.

Hi Floyd,

I enjoyed your heartbraking song a lot! And I read all the posts on it and can only admit what was written.
You are at your very, very best with these heartbraking themes. Like it's your own personal experience.
You are -to me- a master on these kind of lyrics.
Nothing I just wrote is new to you. I wrote most of it before (except that 'master' thing)...

I almost forgot to mention how I liked the chorusses and harmonies with Janice. They sound so powerfull. A golden choice!

I conclude, quoting a comment from Dave: Top notch!

Hans

Excellent mic technique doesn't go astray either.
Janice's harmonies with you have that sibling thing.


Thanks, ray....

Beautiful song Floyd! Great title! Perfect backing on every instrument! Really liked the piano sound! Janice really knows how to compliment your lead vocal...sitting perfectly in there without overpowering you! Another FJ classic!

Thanks, Torrey

STANDING OVATION, and I'm only at the first chorus, so far (as I type). WOW.

Janice is the icing on the cake.

BRAVI, BRAVI, BRAVI. You ought to frame this one. One of your very best, without question. Glad I stopped by to listen.

You'll both be with me to shorten the distance and make the inevitable road delays bearable. Stopped in traffic, I'll roll down the window and won't be surprise if many will leave their cars and dance to the music.


smile - hope you had a good trip!!! smile

A fine example of lyric writing: saying what needs to be said with no extraneous verbiage. Beautifully produced and performed. Nice one!
