Floyd, I did pot a tab, I don't smoke anything anymore so that is out, and gave a listen and came up with this, I loved it!

Floyd, this is such a nicely crafted song. Cool story arc and a nice hook. And there's no wasted motion: Every single syllable and note is needed to tell the story. But I might like the performance even more than the song. The band is kinetic, and I love it when, for example, the banjo and later the electric guitar join in. Don't know UJAM but I'm assuming I'm liking what you're doing with those. Your vocals are the star for me, and they support the song with empathetic perfection. That bridge is KILLER, and your vocals really carry that through nicely as well. And a nice little ribbon around the ending. Anyway...I LOVED your song!

Floyd,

There is something so very cool about this song...

Love the lyric and the arrangement. It has a particular swagger that really permeates the entire composition.

Your vocal is a real standout here. So natural and perfect for the lyric.

"torn apart in a wide wide world
i lost a job, he lost a damn good girl
we lost touch somewhere between rock'n'roll and disco
paths were taken, lives were led
the american dream not yet dead"

Now that's AWESOME! Loved it all!

Cool song. Sounds like me and my friends. I lost touch with a few people through the years and managed to reconnect and stay in touch. Those are getting fewer as time goes by.

That's a good song. I don't have any weed these days but I do have beer and some gummies.

Now, that is what I call writing with craft!!!! There is telling a story, and there's telling it with magic.....this is the latter!!!
Really wonderful song with levels. The surface is fun and care-free, but underneath is a story of nostalgia and yearning.

Hi Floyd.

I really admire your ability to capture relatable experiences in your songs.
The way you describe ‘a couple beers and a little weed’ perfectly encapsulates some personal fond memories for me.
I thought that it was going to be a folk song at first and then the drums and banjo take it in a new direction . Then half way into the second verse the rock guitars enter the fray and the song builds in a delightfully interesting and unexpected way (for me).
I must admit that I was hoping to hear some of Pete's ganja inspired leads, but no biggie. smile
Great song Floyd and surely creating a song at this juncture serves as your most eloquent form of rebellion against the unwelcome intrusion of Milton and Helene.

fantastic mix & mastering too with everything in it's place!

Hi Floyd

Spare time's a little hard to come by for me these days. But there's always time for a Floyd Jane song.

About this song in particular - a real cool story! And, as always, extremely well presented. Those two things are always well represented in your songs. One thing I noticed was that the title of the song appears nowhere in the chorus. That's pretty unusual, but you pulled it off convincingly. What a great listen.

About your music in general - always well done and well presented. But the one thing that always strikes me is the depth of the stories. Your lyrics are like a complete book, but in a hundred words or less. If I had the time, I could write an entire novel simply based upon almost every lyric you've written or co-written. Only a true words craftsman can pen lyrics like that. And you damn sure qualify as just that. I admire and appreciate your immeasurable talent.

Alan

PS: Good to hear your home is still there.

That bridge is a magically thing.
Ah, the old old old days of a couple of beers, the old old days of OJ & weed, the old days of beer n weed and the current days when upper & downers are taken together to balance each other.
I was not one, in the day, to mix my metaphors or poisons.
Weirdnesses abound but but not in this story of pals and a home town.
Excellent on all levels.
Again, that bridge...


Cheers

Floyd,

Love your production ear the way you bring in and take out instruments. Great lyrics as usual. I agree with Ray about the bridge. Your vox give me chills when you hit those high notes.

This is phenomenal. Phenomenal, even for your always high standard. One of your very best.

Had tears in my eyes at the story, and the twist in the last verse took me completely by surprise. Superbly written, and you deliver it so, so well. It's been a while since I've heard an up-tempo song from you, and boy was it worth the wait. How do you do it? Wow. BRAVO.

There's nothing to add that hasn't already been said, except that I like the part best where the banjo goes and the electric kicks in, for two reasons grin

What really amazes me is that when I read the lyrics, it's like we meet in a pub down the street, I ask “How are you?” and you casually tell this story that just happens to rhyme and fit a song.
It's all so natural.
BIG kudos!

From the get go we loved the bouncy, happy feel of the band and your conversational singing.

The story got us hooked and we immediately wanted to find out what happens! smile

The last little guitar tag at the very end was superbly cool.

Saying the vocals and the mix are excellent is kinda like saying the sun’s gonna rise in the morning.

And the write?
Just randomly choose a few lines and say it’s great and you’ll be correct … but we particularly liked:

“we lost touch somewhere between rock'n'roll and disco
paths were taken, lives were led
the american dream not yet dead”

Enjoyed the chillin’ vibe!

SMILE. Dang, you got some great stories and no one can tell them as well as you and Pete. This song is so amazingly good, floyd. Most folks seem to rate the quality of songs by how much money they make. You know the truth though.

Absolutely terrific lyrics that everyone can relate to, whether through personal experience or desire to have had one similar. A smooth, engaging voice to tell the story and captivate the listener. A catchy melody and the perfect touch of harmony that hooks the listener into repeating the thrill. A band of outstanding professionals to smooth out the audio experieince. A stimulating presentation that drills down to the very depth of ones soul and stirs up all the good things we have about being human.

I'd love to join you guys on that front porch, although in my old age I changed from beer to wine.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Strong composition. Sounds great with the excellent production, and I have a feeling it would be just as good with a lone acoustic guitar. I like the syncopated vocal delivery in parts of the song.

Funny, I thought the bridge was a bit sloppy and I considered re-writing it. An example... it should have been "when you leave IT leaves a hole" instead of "you leave a hole" so that you are (or could be) the one with the hole, Not your hometown (details matter)
