Breaking up is hard to do...


[b][color:#000099]SHE MAKES IT LOOK EASY[/color][/b]

no one likes leaving somebody hurt
broken-hearted and crying
you try everything to make it work
sometimes you can't stop love from dying
piece by piece it rips you up inside
it's a hard thing to say goodbye

   she makes it look easy
   like it's a natural thing to do
   she makes it look easy
   tearing my world in two
   i never thought she had it in her to do it
   she walked away like there was nothing to it
   she's breaking my heart
   and she makes it look easy

friday nights she's stepping out
she's with somebody new
carrying on in a corner booth
the way that we used to
it's killing me she's moved on
acting like there's nothing wrong


Thanks for listening.
Comments encouraged.

Title should be, "You make it look easy" cuz that's what you do, Floyd. Small nit, well not even a nit really, because either works, but I wanted to hear "she's MOVIN' on" to keep it present tense with "killing" and "acting", but that's just a preference to my ear I guess. Another fine performance and beautifully produced track. -TK

A great contemporary country song Floyd, good hook and all round vocal/production
Travis

Floyd, this reminds me of the Eagles. Great harmonies and lead vocal. Great phrasing. Sounds like it's ready for radio AirPlay to me. Keep up the good work.

i'm likin' this rockin' heartbreaker song!Mighty fine Floyd!Mike

This one works great, Floyd.
Vic

Really good stuff. I thought the harmonies throughout this brought this to another level. Very catchy chorus and hook, again using the harmonies in a really cool way. Nice guitar solo as well. Enjoyed the listen, as usual. Good luck with this my man

Kyle

Thanks, Tim. She has already moved on - so that should not be present tense - while the "killing me" and "acting" are still occurring. (plus the fact that it would add a bump and disrupt the prosody).





Thanks, Travis.

You do make it look so easy! Well done, Floyd.

Hey Floyd,

That was a great listen, and a damn fine song.

To my ears, I would like the vocal turned up a notch, and a small spike at about 1k.

The vocal is "dull" compared to the music and doesn't cut through.

I won't mention the "drummer".


All is all, it's worth carrying on with this track.

cheers, niteshift

Floyd, always like what you offer. great sounding song. and I think outstanding write. Lane

Hi Floyd,

I think I originally wrote something like "this glazed a smile upon my face that won't go away" and I can attest that it's still working it's charm. Clever and not without heart.

Mike

Great write Floyd. Wonderful singing and really enjoyed the guitar work. Thoroughly enjoyed this. They get better and better.

Dave

Another fj hit. Keep em comin'!


Regards,

Bob

Yes U do!
Another wonderful piece Floyd. Well Done, indeed.

Always a pleasure to hear your songs. Contemporary sound with an "old country" feel... and that's not an easy order to fill... unless you have that FJ talent. Really nice work! ----Dave

Floyd.
Your professional sound is there. Hook is where it should be.
Vocal is second to none.

Vic

Another great write Floyd. The only nit I have - and it's the salesman in me - is that you ended the song with about 40 seconds of music. Why not use that as a musical bridge and end with the shortened chorus? That way you have the hook as the last thing your listener hears.

Hey Floyd,

This song is one that many would sing along with and appeal to many for sure. Well done as usual. I thought your vox was fine, we all probably hear differently I suppose--I'm usually listening on decent headphones myself. I would like to hear the lead guitar solo up a notch, I know Colin always told me that a guitar solo should match the presence of the lead vox with ballad type music--always exceptions with vibe of course. For me, I want to feel like the lead player steps out and the "front man" steps back trading places for those special measures.

Another great song Floyd!

Hi Floyd,

Oh, a Floyd Jane HEARTBREAKER!
I love how you can SO consistently do these songs that touch the hearts of the audience and have such broad appeal and relevance to people's lives, doing your Floyd thing and making us go "WOW!"

WOW!

Lisa

Another great production from the palatial jane studios!

Top notch write and vocals and a mix that puts it all
out there on a gorgeous soundstage.

Thanks for dropping by, Geoff..

This is a nice song Floyd. Love the git licks throughout, nice and smooth. I thought it had an Eagles feel to it for sure!

Todd

good production aside from the canned drums......
really good performance....great guitar tones...
Bass is a little low in the mix but, I am on my laptop at Camp....no monitors.....
better than decent song crafting....
Nashville ready.
Very cool...thanks for that.

Thanks, Lane...



I appreciate that, Mike (I like the stuff you do)..



Thank you, Dave...



Bob - always appreciate you dropping in...



Thanks, Nelson...


Dave - you are always so kind - thanks...


Thanks, Vic



summeoyo - thanks... for this one, I just liked the idea of having the guitars take it out...



Thanks. Ed. I'll listen again to the lead levels...

You do know you are my favorite, right?




Y'all are the best...



Thanks, Todd...



Thanks, joro...

Good, concise, easy-flow lyric, with a neat twist on a universal theme. Excellent hook. Nice & catchy.

Pleasing vocals (and BU) and top-notch music & melody make this song a real pleasure to listen to.

Thank you for sharing it.

Donna

Floyd--

This is one of my favs from your studio--Nashville needs to wake up and do a few FLOYD JANE Productions!

Later,

Mackie

Top shelf production, arrangement and performance, Floyd. I wish I could get the sound you do. Really nice guitar work intermingled in and out during the tune. A good time was had by all.

Steve

Donna - thanks so much for such a lovely review...



HA! Mackie - I appreciate that...



Steve - thanks... you can get that same sound... it's available to anyone...

Hi Floyd jane.....another great song. Absolutely love the sound you have here. Not much to crit, here. I love it!
Stellar singing, too!
The hook is awesome...what a great idea!
