Wow, you gave that soprano an extraordinary voice. Love the lifting sensation with this one. Those strings are the perfect addition. This tune has flower petals floating all around it. Stupendous sounds, Mario. Always a fine listening experience.

OUTSTANDING, James!! Oh, man, so well done. It has that Delsono musical signature througout. GREAT choice on the "singer." That's the best way to get the message across. The music is also sensational. Yeah, i missed you here, but i've been listening both to the Delsono collection i have here, and all your new stuff on YT.

Very well done, Om. Even the song seems to be written for JC. Excellent vocal ---IMO far better than Mr. Cash. That (to me) annoying vibrato is missing. A fine production, and a fine accent.

Oh, so glad you chose the latter, Brian. What a wonderful result. Neville was also a great choice. A fine song you two have sewn. From a fine seed of an idea in fertile soil.

Marty, Great song! Love the message and your awesome vocal delivery. You are such a great singer. Dave sounds excellent as usual and the whole production is top notch! LOVED IT! Bob Thank you, Bob. My resume says "Bass." Hi Marty! A great non-blues song! I thought I detected a dim chord - and there it was … Ebm7b5 … half diminished! Well utilised. I love that slow down ending - perfecto! I had to laugh during the video when the swirling patterns cover what is going on behind closed doors. I can see why giving AI the prompts for the actual scene might be problematic.  Fine lyrics as well. “… make it through the night“ Oh to be young again. But, that has a different meaning for me nowadays. Good song! Andrew Thanks, Andrew. I like the way you analyse chords as you listen. Actually it was one of the reasons this song is posted before the train song, which is typical 1-4-5 stuff. Prompting Ai is always problematic, especially for old guys like me who won't learn a new language.  I think this is the prettiest song you've ever written, if memory serves. Perfect melody for the lyrics. Really impressed here, Marty, a definite personal best for you, my friend! Haha, thanks, Bob. Prettiest song <-- i like that. I quote my YT comment (again) as I can't say it any better: "Beautiful song! I particularly love the chorus. The whole song can't help but leave the listener felling better than before! Thanks, Chay. "...leave the listener feeling better than before!" is much appreciated.

Thanks, Mario. Once I stumbled upon the possibility of using an actual child's synthesised voice for the track, everything just fell into place, afterwards. So glad you liked it!

Hello, B.D.Thomas, Birchwood, Janice & Bud, jannesan, Charlie Fogle, vicarn, Scott C, animarorecords, laurent4114, Ezekiel's Storm, dcuny. I sincerely apologise for taking so long to get back to you all and to thank you for having a listen to ‘Take Today.’ A month ago, I ended up in surgery and as a consequence of that, I lost track of this song. Best regards to all and thank you again for visiting this thread. --Noel No need to apologize, Noel. There aren't many things more important than music, but health is certainly one of them. I wish you all the best and a speedy recovery.

Thank you very much for your comment, Tunemonger! I wasn't sure if there was an issue with this song, but your words reassured me. The idea for the lyrics came to me very naturally, since "dragon" and "dragonfly" are both words from the same family...

Chords are generally stacks of thirds. For example, Cmaj7 is [C,E,G,B]. So you could write Em/C and get a Cmaj7 - [E,G,B,C]. By the same logic, writing E5/C would give a Cmaj7(no3), since an E5 is an E with no 3 - [E,B,C] with a C as root.

I'm at a loss why this stunning song has scrolled to the wasteland of page 3 without a single comment. Love the concept, how did you come up with a half dragon, half dragonfly? Just brilliant. "How to get to make the contact" is a bit awkward, "how to make contact" would've worked fine instead. This was a terrific track, Christian, well done!

..............................................When I posted, I did wonder if you’d tell me to get in my own lane, so thank you for letting me drift into yours, but rest assured I will only merge occasionally. Andrew I would never do that and you are welcome anytime to "my lane". BUT after hearing your song I'm gonna have to up my game!

Hi Finnajane! Welcome to the Forum! What a great introductory song to join with! I especially loved the drone-like hums in parts of the song, but all of it was good to listen to. Good use of the BIAB tracks. I had a sneak peek at your other songs on YouTube as well - looking forward to what you post in future. I joined the forum over a year ago and can truthfully say the folks here are very supportive but also kind and gentle in their suggestions. I hope you find it rewarding. You’ll also find that if you check out and comment on others’ User Showcase posts, you’ll get more views/followers in return, as well as gaining inspiration, ideas and skills along the way. Andrew

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.
