Nice one. The tracks are a good fit and the lead guitar parts sound really nice. Good job on the co-write.

Floyd, Janice, and Bud all I can say about this song is WOW!
This should be on the radio today.
Everything is, as always with your songs, absolutely perfect.
Loved this one.

What a nicely composed song, and so crisply arranged and performed. Fabulous vocals, love the way the bridge reaches for the next level and nails it. Super harmonies! GREAT job on the all BiaB band, and the guitar break works very nicely indeed. Fantastic job, "guys"...

Floyd,
I remember this song well. I think Janice also did a version where she sang lead about a year ago. Great songs stay with you...
It's such an awesome production. Love your vocal in this and the superb harmony by Janice. You guys always sound so good together.
The mix is stellar. This should be played everywhere and on every platform! Pro, pro & pro!

Floyd, Janice and Bud...this is another example of how great you all are as writers, composers and artists...what impresses me the most is the ease of the phrasing (nothing out of place or forced)...the lyric is most excellent...the bridge is killer both lyrically and melodically...the harmonies are placed just right...Floyd it's one of your best vocals IMHO...super track and solo to boot...if it "takes a village" then you guys are a village!

This is a small masterpiece. Well done, Floyd, Janice, Bud. The write is strong, Janice's harmonies are perfect - unobtrusive, in the background, yet essential to the magic of the song ... and Floyd's singing is that trademark mix of his, between the stoical and the emotional ... between the stoical acceptance of reality, and the emotional wishing it were somehow different. A collaboration of stars, that hits the stars - hats off to you all.

For a sour song you've made everything fit together very sweetly. The backing and melody provide a perfect vehicle for the lyrics which, were sung sensitively yet with a certain heartfelt passion. Great job all round.

The Marvelous Mrs. Merritt, Floyd and The Best of Bud. Yeah, anywhere, anytime, and I'd be there in the early morning line for tickets. I'm so glad and we're all a bit priviledged to have you provide the best seats in the house, and give the best performance at the touch of a button.
What a wonderful write. The vocals are (as expected) over-the-top good. Love the high notes, floyd. A masterfully told story in the lyrics that would fit in any radio playlist. A pro production all the way. Thanks you, Janice, Bud and floyd.

Nice job. A nice surprise to have you drop by, Bob...Thanks. Nice one. The tracks are a good fit and the lead guitar parts sound really nice. Good job on the co-write.
Copyright 2015? Old one redone? New tracks? New vocal? Or... first time out of the box? Thanks, Herb. This has been sitting around for close to 10 years. J&B put one up. I tweaked the mix a little before posting - EQ stuff.

That melody & the FJ voice were a lovely start and THEN JM's harmony came in - wow - bitter sweet loveliness.
Sad song, sounds it too.
I really enjoyed the entire package.
Cheers

Loved this one. Very nice of you to say, Mario... thanks! from the Team What a nicely composed song, and so crisply arranged and performed. Fabulous vocals, love the way the bridge reaches for the next level and nails it. Super harmonies! GREAT job on the all BiaB band, and the guitar break works very nicely indeed. Fantastic job, "guys"... Appreciate that, Ron. I thought the bridge wasn't as Big as it needed to be (but this was originally more a "work tape" and I got lazy - so I never addressed that...)

Beautifully written, the lyrics are just perfect and you and Janice bring it across with all the feelings someone in this situation would have. Just the way you sing “it cracked” is more than just singing, it's authentic and those 2 words create more images than a whole song. Really, really, good! The instrumentation is also excellent, the icing is the B3, which adds a beautiful and emotional new layer that is unfortunately a little forgotten in newer songs. Kudos to everyone involved ![[Linked Image - Only viewable when logged in]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/images/icons/default/thumbs_up.gif)

My partner walked in as I was playing your song making the comment "That's a nice song , he's got a good voice". I was taken aback because she only ever listens to doof doof music. Oh , did I mention that I love the song?
