HI all This is my first proper track with BIAB (I still have a lot to learn). This is a song I have wanted to record for a long time - I wanted it to have a similar sound to "Raindrops keep falling on my head" from the soundtrack to Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. This is a sound I have not been successful with until discovering the sounds in BIAB! River Walk (Andrew Richardson / Ron Tintner) ****** Song Summary ************* Title: River Walk File:RiverWalk.SGU Key=C , Tempo 160, Length (m:s)=3:12 4 bar intro, 120 bar chorus, from bar 5 to bar 124. Repeat x1 chorus No Melody No Soloist track. Song is saved with Volume, Pan, Reverb, Chorus, Bank0, Song is saved with bar changes for Time signature, Key Signature, Style is _EZLISTS.STY (EZ Listening Acoustic Guitar ) RealTracks in style: ~~540:Bass, Electric, Pop Sw 165 RealTracks in song: 2822:Vihuela, Rhythm MariachiWaltz Ev 150 RealTracks in style: ~1985:Guitar, Acoustic, Rhythm EZListening Sw 140 RealTracks in song: 2566:Horn Section, Rhythm MelodicOldWorld2Beat2Part Ev16 140 ******************* raw tracks were output into Mixcraft software for a final mix - then I added a nylon guitar solo and vocals Lyrics [C]Snow cones and boats [F]Tequila and lime [G]I play out the songs [Am]the river marks time [A]Watching the water [Dm]flow In the springtime [C]sun Watch the people [G]come Watch the people [C] go River walk, she walks with me, easing my troubles away River walk, she walks with me, easing my troubles away Reflections on the water Cypress scents the air Echoes of a lover Tossing back her hair Long ago when life was new When the world was young When it all began When I first held you River walk, she walks with me, easing my troubles away River walk, she walks with me, easing my troubles away An Alamo spring Everything feels right Sounds of Mariachi Somehwhere out of sight Missions, mesquite and wine memories of a girl From a lovely world In a different time River walk, she walks with me, easing my troubles away River walk, she walks with me, easing my troubles away

Welcome to the forum. Excellent first song. Excellent vocal and backtrack. Neat that you added the chords, I played along with you for the first first :-)

Welcome! A good first post. Well written. Nicely produced and mixed. A pleasing vocal.
It does have a "Raindrops" feel...
Enjoyed it.

Hey, this doesn't sound like Willie Nelson at all!
(just kidding)
I really like the bubbly upbeat sound and nice melody
I know this place well, I'm a Texan far from home these days
We were down last October, it was 97 degrees in the shade
but much cooler down on the riverwalk.
love San Antone, maybe get back there for good someday
nice write, enjoyed
Kenny

Andrew and Ron,
I enjoyed the listen. As others have noted, the vibe is uplifting and engaging. I really liked the combination of Realtracks you've chosen. They sound great.
Definitely a post to be proud of.
All the best,
Noel

Cheers. Thanks Rich - I think I may have left the chords in there by accident (if I dont write them down I make mistakes when I pull them out for the open mics!)

floyd Thanks Floyd - I am sure my effort wont ever win the awards that the raindrops song did, but it would be nice to place it somehow with San Antonio tourism... that said I need to find one of my songwriting buddies with an American accent to sing it!

Thanks Kenny - I fit into the "I wasnt born here but I got here as soon as I could" crowd. I do love the "feeling" of the river walk though - seperated from the cars and traffic :-)

Cool song and welcome to the neighborhood....
Hope to hear more music from you.
I have a photo on my desk in front of me of my 2 daughters along the river walk. We vacationed in Texas some time back and did a few day trips and San Antonio was one of those. It was a fun place.

You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

Welcome- there`s a very happy go lucky good feeling to your song which I enjoyed.Had me singing along by the end.
The simple arrangement works well( nice moment when the banjo comes in) and not knowing the location, for me your English accent was no issue.
Robert
