I agree with the others - great song, lovely lyric and the piano was just right for the song.
Excellent as always.
Peter Thanks, Peter... Indeed, this guitar solo sounds like it was made for this song. I agree, there's always a good soloist to be found in BIAB. Sometimes it just needs a little regenerating and editing.
So you played the piano yourself? Wow, that sounds really good!
Excellent vocal as always.
Rob Thanks, R0b...

Hi Floyd,
I listened to a very touching song. And I liked it!
It's always nice if you can use a chello in a 'sad' song.
And your vocals are always great, this song is no exeption to that. Not at all.
When listening to your song (again), I followed the piano.
It was very nice, and like Rob, I wondered if you played it yourself.
On the other hand, I would have liked a little more expression in that piano playing, but of course that's a matter of taste.
But the song itself is very touching, as I wrote in my first line!
Hans

Beautiful.
Wow.
One of the best ensemble of instruments I've heard. I always love the cello, and it works so well here. I agree about the guitar solo.
Emotive vocal.
A slow dancing song. Fade to black. Much appreciated, Scott...

Very nice. You're doing a good job with the piano. I just recently started back playing the piano. Such a fun thing to do. It gives a totally different perspective from the guitar based stuff.
What piano samples/ synth are you using?
I agree that BB gives some really good leads. However I don't think that one in the song was a good fit. The tone was not as compatible with the feel of the song as it should have been. It was too "Carlos" for the song.
Other than that.... Really good job. On this one the piano is layered. One track using TruePianos EQ'd to mainly highs panned right, one track using TruePianos with the mids accented a bit left of center and the new EZKeys2 Grand for the bottom, panned left. The guitar tone is perfect for the song. The tone is far too ragged with too much bite to label it "Carlos". His was much more round and smooth. If you're gonna ping me on tone, you might consider being more accurate. Wow, really like this one, Floyd!
Very nice work on the piano, and love the vocal, very emotive. Also like the strings.
I agree the guitar solo works well. What I often find with the BIAB generated solos I hear on here, the solo can be very good but the transition out of the solo back to the verse can be weak, ending on a note that doesn't support the vocal. But, that's not the case here.
Beautiful song, very much enjoyed. Thanks, Dave....

Beautiful, Floyd.
Regards,
Leon Thanks, Leon. Really beautiful - lyrics, arrangement, singing, melody especially in the chorus. So light arrangement and gentle mix, I really appreciate this right after making a song filled with guitars and mixed to the max... that's why I was expecting the drum battery to fill the end like in a classic ballad, but I'm glad this was different - instruments perfectly balanced with the mood. And yes, that solo guitar has a heartbreking tone, perfect choice... And I enjoyed how you sang the title so emotionally.
Janne Much appreciated, Janne...

Hi floyd. This is such a good song. I listened to it a couple of weeks ago with the thought in mind that I'd "come back tomorrow and write a comment." Well, a few tomorrows came and went and I didn't get back. Sorry. Everything about this song is perfect. You have all the instruments sitting very comfortably together and your performance is the icing on this fine musical cake. I love what you've done and I love how you've done it. Music doesn't get any better than this. In relation to the piano track... Recently, I've been playing around with creating user tracks. They're quite amazing things. If you want, I'm happy to try and create a piano user track for you from your piano accompaniment. I can't guarantee how successful I'll be but I'll do my best. If you'd like me to see what I can come up with, please send me a message and I'll tell you what is needed for creating a track. One of the beauties of user tracks is that you can build them up bit by bit. It's not necessary to do all the chords at once. New chords can be added over time as they are need. If you're interested in finding out about UserTracks, there are a couple of great PG Music videos at the below URL. https://www.pgmusic.com/usertracks1.htmI also found the below video on using creating user tracks in Realband informative. Creating UserTracks in RealbandI hope that you and your family have a brilliant Christmas and a really great 2024. --Noel

Floyd.
You're royalty where this style is concerned.
Tasteful sounds. Nothing imposes.
Excellent lyric.
Vic Thanks for that. Vic... Beautiful!
“ i can barely breathe
my heart's stopped, too”
That so well describes heartache, doesn’t it? You sing the lyric with so much feeling and nuance that we get the same feeling we do from being immersed in a great novel.
Your piano sounds great … stark yet fully supporting the sadness of the lyric. The little right hand touches are perfecto and the helds are room filling. And the tone is great and it all has a lovely soundscape - it fills up the stereo spectrum in an excellent manner.
Those BiaB guys fit perfectly..
Nice cover art!
You set the piano on fire, sir, and exited the stage! 😊
J&B  Much Appreciated!!!! Thanks for mentioning the piano... Floyd:
Pretty tune. Deft hand on production as always—nice choices going more than less with lots of space. That really makes the guitar solo pop. I’m one of those who think the BIAB solos can be hit or miss. But they always seem to work best for me on these types of ballads, it does here.
Really like that piano work as well.
Good stuff!
Deej Thanks so much, Deej....

Since I just started learning piano (or at least getting to the point that I feel I can record it) the idea of doing a User Track strikes me as premature. I would imagine that would turn out to be a rather one-dimensional UT. Plus - I go down too many other rabbit holes to add yet another. The thought is certainly appreciated.... Merry Christmas, my friend... Hi, Floyd !😊
