Great jazz instrumental version of the song and a very well chosen BiaB backing band. The song dates back further than the English "Fair" versions, at least as far back as 1670 and the Scottish ballad "The Elfin Knight" with the impossible tasks. I give more details in my recent "Scarborough Fair [naughty rock version]" post. WaoBand- Thanks for filling in the gaps on the history of the song. And thanks for giving it a listen. It is very appreciated.

Peter and all the folks at PG Music- WOW! I am stunned and thrilled. I was not expecting to see this honor... there are so many talented writers and creators here posting on the forum. The best part... everyone is so supportive and encouraging. The feedback on things I've posted is always insightful. I'm sorry I didn't see this sooner... I've already upgraded to Band-in-a-box UltraPAK+ 2026 for Mac. BTW- it makes getting ideas go from in my head to out in the world SO MUCH EASIER! Keep up the good work everyone at PG Music.

Wow, that is indeed dark! At my age I don't get around much any more, but this reminds me that all the dark news in the world is not limited to the US. Sad song indeed.

Really catchy groove, strong singing and Maestro Bell absolutely cooks! I waited for the bell but never heard it. Tried both versions. Oh well. EDIT: Tried a third time, saw the visual.

An heavenly collab, if I were asked, would have been J&B&FJ. Dreams come true and this remix is sweet. The guitar man certainly knows nuance and taste. Stunningly good. Thanks Ray. Glad you liked the remix. We do too. It was one of those where the time came to stick the proverbial fork in it and move on. 😀 We appreciate your comments in toto! J&B

Thanks TuneMonger, I didn't try to imitate Chet's voice. His voice is unique and belongs to him! Born to be blue is the first song of Chet Baker I've heard. It's so great...

I love this! Great jazz ballad and good lyrics. Suno didn't quite get the whispery quality of Chet's voice, but it was still very, very good. Last month I finally watched the biopic Born to be Blue. What a tragic life. Catch it if you haven't already. Chapeau!

Yes, i can hear it. But, Chris, keep in mind that i'm a bass player and when one of us tells you the bass is too soft, you must consider it with a grain of salt, as they say. Perhaps a metric ton of salt. But you did well with this adjustment. Cool song!!

I am about to transfer all of my programs from a Win 10 to a Win 11 computer; this is my music computer so I will be down for awhile. I have read about a program called Zinstall; https://www.zinstall.com/ This program is suppose to transfer all data and programs from one computer to another. Of course I am skeptical. So has anyone here had any experience wit Zinstall? Thanx in advance for your time. PS - Life has really gotten in the way of making and listening to music so I apologize if I miss some of your songs.

Satisfy Your Soul on Soundcloud Satisfy Your Soul on YouTube A song about ignoring the unimportant and concentrating on what matters. The bell at the end is a nod to It's A Wonderful Life when another angel gets it's wings. Style is _LAMAGIA.STY (La Magia Latin Rock Soloist) RealTracks in style: ~686:Organ, B3, Background Pop Ev 120 RealTracks in style: 4172:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm LatinRock Ev 125 RealTracks in song: 2157:Piano, ElectricVintage, Rhythm FunkyGroove60sJohn Ev 100 EZDrummer Dave Bell (Blue Attitude) played guitar. I played bass and sang. Satisfy Your Soul Everything about this seems to say just turn around. The unknown up ahead is full of dread. You're heading into something that offers no way out. The rocks they throw are aiming at your head. You need to change your course and fortify your force. Protect your soul. Keep in mind your mind. Don't distract your track from your goal. Satisfy your soul. That's the only goal you should pursue. Satisfy your soul. That's the only thing we're born to do. When it's time to choose your choice affects your soul. Think about the consequences first. Let desires in only once you have control otherwise your choice could be the worst. You'll find a better way where no one makes you stray from what you choose. Keep the way your way. Don't forget your plan or you'll lose. INTRO-- (Gm7 C9)3 D7 V-- (Gm7 C9)4 D7 D7 Gm7 Gm7 D7 D7 Gm7 D7 CH-- Cm7 Cm7 Gm7 Gm7 Cm7 Cm7 Eb7-Eb7-Eb7-Eb7 D7...

Excellent, Hans. The way you develop your songs is worthy of being taught in college courses. I've already told you how much i like this one, AND the one you're making now is really over-the-top good. Can't wait to see it here. AND can't wait for the video youmake for it. But i'm getting ahead of myself --or ahead of you. Love the video for this one. i have to make my own Ken Burns effect and it's a PITA. Nice to have Davinci help. Looks great. Now i'm listening on Soundcloud where i say the music sounds better.

Saw the title and thought, Isn't that redundant? Don't all real fairies fly? But i like the reason you changed the title. Man, that tin whistle is king here. i always thoroughly enjoy how you develop your instrumentals, Chay. Outstanding in every way everytime. SO engaging. Fun to dance to, AND fun to listen to, challenging myself to hear every instrument thoughout. And you accomodate the challenge perfectly.

Oh, man, reading that i thought, Is it possible that Chris knows Chet Baker and got him to play on his song? HAHA! Then i came to my senses. Still, and excellent choice of inspiration and yes i believe he would've loved to hang out with you. Excellent choice of musicians, but i'd like the bass a bit louder in the mix.

Oh, you're so right, Herrb. GREAT TITLE, and so well turned into a great song. You got some fine singers to give those lyrics the perfect feel. What a wonderful production. SO pro! Nice dynamics that reinforce the need to get south of all this nonsense. Send us a musical postcard of how life is down there.

Love gone wrong. Sure, but it has the seeds of a reunion. Very cool vocals --love those harmonies. Wonderful presentation. Strong piano and that guitar is perfect. One day she will waltz back for more of those warm-coatmoments, and the things he did for her that she took for granted. Maybe a sequel. Love it all, Izzy.

I like this: a history research essay via a song. You created a fun song with its upbeat melody, vocal delivery, and melody. I like the ending sound effects. You need to hire that bass player: he kicks a$$. Thanks, Teach! Man, i could write a lot more about the story, Scott. Love history, but hate our general inability to learn from it. This is going to get rolling right from the start! I really enjoyed listening to this, and the story was new to me. Jona Thanks, Jona. The story was mostly new to me too. It could be made into a good movie. Hi Marty, It's always nice to hear a historical story-song! I enjoyed your bass and vocals, and the BIAB fiddle solo really kicked it up a notch. Great lyrics and mix, too - nicely done! Bob Thanks, Bob. At first i auditioned BiaB banjos for the solo, but this fiddle needed almost no regeneration. A musical history lesson and very cleverly written, Marty. Vic Thank you, Vic. Great upbeat tune - I enjoyed this! That's one hell of a fiddle player! Thanks, Finna. After auditioning other instruments, this fiddle player had the best feel for the train. History & geography in a song presented as sprightly, warm and entertaining. Another good'n from the chief good guy. Thanks, Ray. Hey, there was some math, science and philosophy in there too.

It would be better if this pop-up appeared at a fixed time, instead of what appears to be a random event. Sometimes this happens on boot, but often in the middle of a workflow. I've just been recording a live guitar part and after the first take I had to wait to do the second until it had Initialised. SO frustrating. Can this be fixed so that it follows a boot every time please?

That is good, but it's not country. It's more like the Beatles would have done ... Oh Darling comes to mind. Herb Appreciate the review and the Beatles comparison....though Paul McCartney might be slightly surprised to learn he was playing a Nashville waltz while eating grits! Since the band played a textbook Nashville country waltz, but the vibe is apparently channeling mid-period Abbey Road heartbreak, I’ve decided to officially reclassify the song’s genre: 'Beatles-in-a-Pickup-Truck' (or strictly speaking: British-In-A-Boxcar) It’s that delicate sweet spot where your drummer is sweeping brushes like he’s playing the Grand Ole Opry, but the singer is nursing a pint in a London pub and stubbornly pretending he isn't crying in his coffee. So yeah, maybe it’s not strictly 'Country' down at the honky-tonk... but I think it's got enough certified post-breakup vindication to play on a jukebox located somewhere between Liverpool and Nashville. Thanks for listen and comments and the genre-bending identity crisis! best regards Izzy

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.
The 2026 49-PAK is loaded with other great new add-ons as well. Learn more about the 2026 49-PAK!
