I posted this a few weeks ago and reworked in the suggested changes. This is a testament to the power of working together to make these songs and recordings the best we can.

Thanks to all who post suggestions and take the time to share their opinions and expertise.

Floyd commented,

The word "even" reduces the impact of your (very cool) hook (IMO, of course)...

"I don't know.... If Angels Dance..."

The structure is a bit odd.. Verse-Chorus-V-C-solo-C-Bridge-V-C-tag.
I think the song would be more effective going to the bridge right out of the solo and then to the chorus-tag. You might even do the chorus twice. "Going back to the story" in the last verse made my attention wander (And I really like the song!). It is nice information, but I think the song would be better without it...

Josie commented,

I would have liked a little more reverb on the vocals. I like love song vocals a little more dreamy sounding.

Thanks again, you guys are the best.

If Angels Dance

I’ve been looking my whole life

To find the perfect girl like you

Someone who seemed like she could be my wife

And looked at me like only lovers do


Movin to the music like we were in a trance

Everything just felt so right

I don’t know if Angels Dance

But I think that I just danced with one tonite


And just like I had planned with the ring in my hand

Asking you if you would be my bride

Holding back the tears while listening to the band

Play a song that almost made you cry


Movin to the music like we were in a trance

Everything just felt so right

I don’t know if Angels Dance

But I think that I just danced with one tonite

Break

We’ve had our ups and downs but the world keeps turning round

Now everything’ s in perfect harmony

Hi Tom,

Yep. This version works really well. As floyd has said, "you took a good song and made it better". I love the hook and it is so much stronger without 'even'! The change in structure was also excellent.

Excellent work all around!

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
