Excellent arrangement and a mix where all those millions of guitars still have room to shine. Very, very well done.

But topped by Janice's vocal performance, not only because of her great voice (even I know she's good by now), but also because of the way she sings, with that slightly ironic tone in her voice.
Super smile


Thanks, BD...

The mark of a singing expert, that :-) . The writing is stellar, the arrangement spectacular. What a team. Congratulations, everyone involved!


Thanks, James...

(BTW Danny's song, 'The Keeper of the Stars' is one of my favorites of all time)


Thanks, Dan.
It was cool to see Danny pick up the award for Song Of The Year for "The Keeper of the Stars" at the ACMs. I wrote with Danny quite a bit and knew his writing style well - so when I hear the song I'm always thinking "oh...that's a Danny line..." (mostly the verses)

How all the guitar parts work together is very impressive.

The vocal is genre perfect and I loved the outro.

Great work.

I was expecting to hear your vocals to, Floyd. Say, somewhere in the chorusses or just in between.
But I'm not complaining, because Janices' voice is so nice to listen to. And this song fits her as that 'famous' glove.

Enjoyed it!

Thanks Hans!

Janice's vocal is top-notch professional.

Another one of my top Floyd songs.


I appreciate that!

So I just paid attention to the song itself.

Great rocksong!!!!
Music that makes you moving and fabulous vocals, especially in the chorus!.
Wonderful job.

Thank you!

Thanks, Hans. I tried adding a harmony, but it sounded awful, so I asked Janice to provide that, too (and she did a great job of that, too).

I'm sure you could fit in at least one more guitar track! crazy

One weird thing I noticed after listening - I couldn't remember the title of the song! I guess that fit in so naturally with the lyric that it didn't stick out when I was listening to it. I wonder if that had anything to do with people passing on the song, because it's got sass and attitude and good vibes for miles!


Thanks! I tried to get that sass and attitude thing down. smile

Jao

Floyd,

Yes, I can definitely hear sassy singers you might have pitched to doing this one—right up their alley. But Janice does it just as well as any of them, IMHO. Terrific mix, great write. Great effort all around!

Best wishes for a Happy Holiday,

Deej

David - It is always satisfying when someone says "The tracks sound like they were custom recorded for the song." Thanks for that!

Interesting comment about the title. Guess we just needed it to be a huge hit so that when you hear that phrase, you think of the song smile

Boy did you ever pick the right person to sing this! This is right down Janice's alley! I think this my favorite vocal performance of hers!

This track rocks and can't believe nobody picked this up....still could happen!

The mix can't be improved in any way IMO!

Thanks, T
