Hello to all. I haven't been on the forum lately, but I have been writing and recording, and using BB 2020 on all my recordings.
This song was written about the isolation we all find ourselves in. I wanted to make an optimistic song despite the grim reality, and thought, this should be a Moody Blues song. It was a challenging idea, but I have nothing but time, and found some Mellotron samples on my keyboard.
The ProTools recording has 52 tracks, and many of them including all the basic tracks, are BB. I apologize for not listing the BB samples, I lost track of them.

I really like this one. Your vocal is really good here. The mix is super. Sometimes many tracks, like 52, can sound muddy and cluttered but this mix is perfect; i.e. I can hear everything. Outstanding job.

This is air play ready.

As soon as I saw you name on this post, I had to immediately click and have a listen.

The opening 20 seconds of your song grabbed like a cop accosting a looter during a riot.

The soundscape you created with all those tracks is so richly textured.

The lyrics really hit home. This is a quality production and write.

Thank you for the kind words. Kudos to RealBand and Dave Cleveland for the excellent lead guitar work.
