Do wishes go that far? [b][color:#CC0000]ONE MORE STAR[/color][/b] i know you'd call me crazy sitting here with this gun watching the horizon for the setting of the sun i'm here because of you... it's killing me you're gone but i know just what i've got to do as soon as nightfall comes you see, years ago, out walking with my dad one moonless night i looked up in amazement when i saw this falling light and dad said "quick, make a wish...a shooting star will make it true" so, now, i'm sitting on this hilltop..i'm gonna bring one down for you i'll shoot at one more star take aim and pull off one more round do wishes go that far or just fall back to the ground now and then, one goes out, i swear so, i keep loading up the chamber and sending up this prayer please come back baby, wherever you are then i close my eyes and shot at one more star my broken heart keeps begging me to somehow bring you back it made me grab a box of shells and this rifle off the rack it still believes everytime it hears somebody say shoot for the highest star...you'll reach your dream one day i'll shoot at one more star take aim and pull off one more round do wishes go that far or just fall back to the ground now and then, one goes out, i swear so, i keep loading up the chamber and sending up this prayer please come back baby, wherever you are then i close my eyes and shot at one more star please come back baby, wherever you are i close my eyes and shot at one more star

Hey Floyd,
I'm still not sure why you have time to be around here! This is a great example for those not really "getting" how a mix should balance side to side & front to back--this one's using depth and width--and when you have a great song and lot's of talent for performance--this is what you get folks. I think from a production/engineering perspective, this might be the best I've heard from you! If I had a nit or sug here, I'd keep it to myself--(I do have a tiny one)......Super job Floyd & great song as well!

You are a star.
Maybe the instrumental is a tad too busy (but it's hard to hold those musicians down when they're flying).
Great work and talent.

Thanks for sharing your wonderful writing, production and performance skills with us. It really is amazing what you come up with time after time. This is another super one, for sure.
I like everything about it. It sounds effortless, which means it isn't of course (ha, ha).
Excellent from beginning to end!

Great across the Board Floyd. Tell me, "How do you handle/mix/ and work the vocals?" They stand out so clear and right now that is what I am having trouble with in my mixing and recording?

Oh my gosh, Floyd, as I was listening to verse one and two I was thinking, "don't do it Floyd, don't do it...well, at least don't do it until you sign here on the dotted line, making me the beneficiary of your copyrights...." Laughing!
And then the big turnaround...I put the pen away!
It sounds AWESOME!

steady-eddie. eddie - man! thanks for all of that. Interesting to me that you keyed on the production of this one. I put them together as I hear them in my head. I've always considered this one of those songs where the writing came out "the way I wanted it to"... OK... now I want to know what the nit is...

You have set the bar pretty high not only with this song, but with every song you write. I'm in agreement with all the favorable comments that have been made. Rather than repeat them, I'll just say well done and thank you for sharing your outstanding music!

Floyd, I have to reconsider everything I under-valued about Nashville dreams.
You were able to turn the venue into something special with this.
Love it.

Pam Pam - Thanks for taking this for a spin... That's a very nice thing to say. Someone else said a similar thing to me the other day... it is nice to play a small part in opening the "listening doors" ... I know mine have been expanded by being here...
