Here we go again

I’ve been here for hours she said
And you haven’t tried to kiss me
I know we really shouldn’t
But I thought you said you missed me
You’re showing me those photos
When I’m right here in your bed
Can’t you think of something else
You’d rather do instead?

Chorus:
Hey ho, here we go
Hey, ho, here we go
Heart says yes, head says no
Hey, ho, here we go again

Verse:
I’ve always cared about you
But I don’t feel that involved
She casually informed me
Like it was a problem solved
I felt as if she’d stabbed me
But I didn’t let it show
Just let my self-esteem descend
Another notch or so

Chorus:
Oh, hey ho, here we go
Hey, ho, here we go
Heart says yes, head says no
Hey, ho, here we go again

Bridge:
I was old enough to know better
But young enough not to care
Like a man standing on a mountain
Felt the tug of all that empty air

Chorus:
Hey, ho, here we go
Looking at the ground so far below
Heart says yes, head says no
Hey, ho, here we go
Oh, hey ho, here we go
Hey, ho, here we go
Heart says yes, head says no
Hey, ho, here we go again

Peter (and Leon),

From your "list of seemingly endless songs"... my favorite...

Good write - lyric and melody. The production and arrangement are terrific. The opening 12-string and organ is super...

(the solo guitar was a bit low in the mix - and I thought panned a bit too far to one side).

Really enjoyed this one.

That 12 string electric certainly gives it a Byrd's kind of vibe there in the intro.

Cool tune.

Great feeling tune!! I am a big fan of that 12 string electric-used it several times myself. This song really catches the whole retro feel in a great way. I really like the solo you put in. Also, love this bridge....

But young enough not to care

Felt the tug of all that empty air

Very good writing! Enjoyed this a lot!! Take care. Greg

Thanks for the kind words - glad you liked the song. The guitar was panned too far - have fixed the original.

It certainly makes it easy to write songs when the lyrics are handed to me on a platter.
Thanks for the comment on the guitar.

Hi Peter.

Yes, certainly your best so far.

Like others have said, very "Byrds" on the intro.

Great arrangement - very clever break-down on the bridge - a nice touch, that.

Everything in this tracks works well together and the mix is good, though I tend to go with Floyd on the solo guitar.

Really enjoyed it.

ROG.

202 New RealTracks Released with Band-in-a-Box 2026!

With Band-in-a-Box® 2026, we've released 202 incredible new RealTracks (in sets 468-488) in a variety of genres—featuring your most requested styles!

Jazz, Funk & World (Sets 468-475):
Our new jazz, funk & blues RealTracks include a groovin’ collection of RealTracks and RealDrums! These include more requested “soul jazz” RealTracks featuring artists Neil Swainson (bass), Charles Treadway (organ), Brent Mason (guitar), and Wes Little (drums). There are new “smooth jazz” styles (4), which include a RealTracks first: muted trumpet, as well as slick new smooth jazz brushes options for drums. Blues lovers will be thrilled—there are more “classic acoustic blues” styles, including guitar (5), bass (4), and drums (10) with blues master Colin Linden, featuring understated and tasty background acoustic soloing, plus brushes drums and acoustic bass. There are also new electric blues RealTracks, including electric blues with PG favorite Johnny Hiland (3) and soulful electric slide guitar from Colin Linden (4). If you love funk & gospel, there are great new options this year, including gospel organ (3) from Charles Treadway, as well as new funk, tango, and rock ’n’ roll drums (3) and bass (1). And for big, bold arrangements, we have uptempo soul horns (4) featuring a three-part hip horn section with options for a full mix or stems of each individual horn — plus an accompanying rhythm section (4) of drums, bass, guitar, and electric piano!

Rock & Pop (Sets 476–482):
Our new rock & pop RealTracks bring a powerful mix of requested favorites, fresh genres, and modern chart-inspired styles! We have more of our popular “Producer Layered Acoustic Guitars (15)” featuring Band-in-a-Box favorite Brent Mason. We’ve continued our much-requested disco styles (10), and added new Celtic guitar (5) with a more basic, accessible approach than our previous Drop-D or DADGAD offerings. There are also highly requested yacht rock styles (17), inspired by the smooth, polished soft-rock sound of the late ’70s and early ’80s — laid-back grooves, silky electric pianos, warm textures, elegant harmonic movement, and pristine production aesthetics. Fans of heavier styles will love our new glam metal (13), capturing the flashy, high-energy sound of ’80s arena-ready guitar rock. We also have a set of rootsy modern-folk rock (18), with a warm, organic sound combining contemporary folk textures and driving acoustic strumming. And we’ve added lots of new modern pop styles (16) — the kinds of sounds you’re hearing on the radio today, featuring exciting new drums, synths, and cutting-edge RealTracks arrangements.

Country, & Americana (Sets 483–488):
Our new country & Americana RealTracks deliver a rich collection of acoustic, electric, and roots-inspired styles! We have new country pop (9) with legendary guitarist Brent Mason. There is also a potpourri (14) of bouzouki, guitars, banjo, and more, perfect for adding texture and character to contemporary acoustic arrangements. We’ve added funky country guitar (5) with PG favorite Brent Mason, along with classic pedal steel styles (5) featuring steel great Doug Jernigan. There are more country songwriter styles (8) that provide intimate, rootsy foundations for storytelling and modern Americana writing. Finally, we have “background soloing” acoustic guitar (12) with Brent Mason — simpler, but still very tasty acoustic lines designed to sit beautifully behind vocals or act as a subtle standalone solo part.

Check out all the 202 new RealTracks (in sets 468-488)!

And, if you are looking for more, the 2026 49-PAK (for $49) includes an impressive collection of 20 bonus RealTracks, featuring exciting and inspiring additions to add to your RealTracks library. You'll get new country-rhythm guitar styles from PG Music favorites Johnny Hiland and Brent Mason, along with modern-pop grooves that capture today’s radio-ready sound! There are also new indie-folk styles with guitar, bass, 6-string bass used as a high-chording instrument, acoustic guitar, and banjo. Plus, dedicated "cymbal fills" RealDrums provide an added layer that work very well with low-key folky styles with other percussion.
