A co-write with Danny Mayo Pure Country (forewarned). Pure '90's Country, actually... Well pitched by the publishers - for about 3 weeks...until a new crop of songs arrived. Excitement seldom lasted long with thousands of new choices out every week. I asked Janice to join me. A no-brainer. The BAND: RealTracks in style: 2915:Bass, Electric CountryPopByron12-key Ev 085 RealTracks in style: 2883:Pedal Steel, Background CountryEddy12-key Ev 085 RealTracks in song: ~364:Guitar, Acoustic, Fingerpicking Ev 065 RealTracks in song: ~1595 Guitar, Acoustic, Fingerpicking Pop8thsSteady Ev 065 RealTracks in style: ~409:Fiddle, Background George Ev 085 RealTracks in song: 624:Fiddle, Soloist George Ev 085 MIDI SuperTracks in song: 2102:Piano, Rhythm PopPromise Ev16 100 RealDrums in style:NashvilleBrushesEasyBluegrass: a: Sidestick, Brushes b: Brushes, Stick NI Picked Acoustic I played some piano. Harmonies: The Inimitable Janice Merritt (just dropped into the mix as they came processed by Bud) BETWEEN OUR TWO BROKEN HEARTS mind if i park myself here on this empty stool do you come here often it's my first time, too i thought that the neon might help me be on the mend but i was wrong the tear in your eye says that you might know how it feels to lose someone between our two broken hearts i'll bet we've done some stumbling in the dark ain't it lonely alone trying hard not to long for the one that's left your arms i don't know about you but i feel like a fool having been such an easy mark but let's just keep this between our two broken hearts let's move to that corner booth where no one can hear they don't need to know we're alone and seen love disappear now isn't this better, they think we're together thanks for holding my hand ain't it funny this night has turned out all right sure, i'd love to share a dance between our two broken hearts.... Break my heart if you must, but comment anyway...  fj

Floyd & Janice,
Great country music with exquisite vocals...
Beautifully written and recorded. This absolutely has HIT potential - no question. It should be on the radio today!
Love everything about this!
Bob

As THE proven showcase-forum-country-expert (cough, cough), especially when it comes to 'Pure 90s Country', I can tell you why this song didn't chart: Janice was missing.
Beautiful in every regard. I love the lyrics, I love the way you 2 sing together, and production-wise no one would guess it was done with BIAB.
Perfect!

Floyd and Janice...what a classic country song...the duo was so good...man I can imagine George and Tammy, Conway and Loretta or even Kenny and Dolly doing this back then...Floyd, this is a great country love song for sure and Danny Mayo was a gifted writer...I'll bet it was fun writing with him....again super song delivered so well!

Tears. Floyd, your voice (I will say it) is timeless. Janice: what incredible harmonies. The song? TOP, TOP, TOP, TOP notch. But when Floyd decides to tell a story, no-one holds a candle to that storytelling ability of his. I don't often have tears in my eyes, but there we are. Hats off, to every single one of you who were involved with this production. Wow. Congratulations.

Pure country indeed...but not the sort I railed against as a youngster.
Nothing formulaic or insincere about this one.
Two excellent voices entwined in melody.
Cheers

Three things- 1-This was FANTASTIC. I think I would rather have a conversation than type out all that I like with this song. I think what's hard at times is I want to mention all of the things I hear so you realize we do hear that stuff! 2-I got an earful because of your song! My dad happened to be in when I was listening to it. I was going to turn it off when he walked in so we could talk and he said "don't turn that off! You finally have some REAL music you're playing. He listened to the whole thing and loved it! He asked who it was, and I told him it was Florida Georgia Line. I probably should correct him before he has too many conversations with my relatives about how he likes this Florida Georgia Line.  3-This HAS to be written on piano? Even if it wasn't the piano made this song even better! The perfect way to heighten a gorgeous song. That's a GREAT sounding piano btw! 4 of 3-Sorry I can't NOT mention Janice. But then again he talent is so obvious do I need to. Again, you two(three) work so well together. Between her vocal and Bud's knowing how to process to what you need, it's all there. Thanks for sharing this one. Many listens will continue with this one!

How can I write about the smile on my face? You two bring it there and keep it there. Hell, this will last much longer than 3 weeks. Sorry for smiling through your two broken hearts, so I had to listen again with more empathy. Nope. Still smiling.
Here's some of the things I say for every Floyd Jane song: Love those lyrics, man. No one says it better. Great write. If music moguls cared more about good music rather than what they sell, this would be on every radio. Like C.Aaron (Chad) said about his dad "REAL music." Vocals are outstanding, and Janice is such an intelligent choice. What a wonderful blend. The mix was obviously done by a professional.
Thanks for being here, Floyd.

Excellent song/mix/master. As usual!
Gosh, you two, your voices blend so well!!
Like the piano too:)
I'm not familiar with Danny Mayo, though I recognize some of the songs he wrote. His death must have been a terrible shock. So sorry, Floyd.
Scott

FJ, Danny & Janice
Excellent country tune all around. In every genre there is always right, left, up, down. This seems to be right at the heart. I don't know Country music well, but that is how it sounds to untrained ear. Solid set of lyrics and excellent vocals by you and Janice. Mix is spotless. Thank you for sharing.
Misha.
P.S. "Break my heart if you must, but comment anyway..." LOL
Fine, here is my amateur critical comment. Because of similar "crying" feel I would choose only one, either Pedal steel or fiddle.

Thanks, Dan. Danny and I wrote quite a bit together. Interestingly, Danny did not play ANY instruments. And he could BARELY carry a tune. He'd just sit there with a yellow pad. Writing furiously. When he did have a melody idea (to go with a particular phrase), he would "sing" it to me to work out the chords. A real sweetheart of a guy - heart of gold...

Floyd,
It's a disgrace when top level work like this slips through the cracks! This is chart topping country if I've ever heard it! Somebody making decisions in Nashville really dropped the ball on this!
What a great vocal performance by both of you! Enjoyed it all the way!
Thanks, TB
