The Walker Of The Wind

This folk song is dedicated to my good friend. The music itself has got inspiration from celtic artists, especially from a scottish band called Runrig. Once again thanks to RnAM who created beautiful vocal track that fits nicely with the mood of the song. Everything else (except the wind sample) was created by another friend of mine, Band-in-a-box smile

Lyrics:

I was born to be
afraid of tiny breeze
but you will breathe the nature
when you see the swaying trees.
I wish to follow in your tracks
wherever you may go
to join your spirit's flight
to where the strongest flurries blow.

Dangers lie ahead
for the walker of the wind
brittle life hangs by a thread
when the gust begins.
Hold on to the brimstone
stand the pain in your knee
in the storm alone
fight your way back to me.

I haven't felt the need
to be bold and proud
but you have seen volcanoes burning
climbed above the clouds.
I wish that there will come a time
with challenges to share
but I guess my part always will be
to tell you to beware.

[Chorus]

I have fought my own tornado
when I fell for you
I had to leave my haven
once that startling wind blew.
When you face your fears
you find the urge to survive
you can't calm the turmoil
but you sparkle alive.

[Chorus]

Janne,Rob & Anne-Marie

Nice inventive track - reminded me a bit of something Yes might have done once.
Excellent vocals and a different and engaging backing - with an interesting melody.
Well done.

Lovely opening on a song that has an uplifting, folky feel.
RNAM have done your lyrics proud here and the production is very well done.
Simpler than many of your songs and no less enjoyable!
btw Runrig are one of my favourite scottish bands.

Hi Janne,

Very nice music background. Good selection for the backing tracks. The piano is particularly catchy. And you can't go wrong with Rob and Anne-Marie. This is a really nice collaboration. Modern celtic with a dash of the old. Nice song and the finished product is terrific!

Thanks Robert for your very positive words smile I'm glad you enjoyed also my simpler song, although I think the melody was rhythmically bit challenging. Nice to hear there are others who like music of Runrig, I found the band at early 90's and I felt a deep connection with them immediately.

This song starts off with a capital 'Q' for Quality.

And the quality follows the song throughout.

This is exceptional material, amazing instrumentation, stunning vocals, and superb vocal backings.

This is absolutely a real winner. Maybe some of the best material ever presented on this forum.

Quality, definitely.

Nice collaboration! I think it was Peter who mentioned Yes and, yes grin , it does hint of that.

Vocals and mix are tops along with the fine arrangement.

We enjoyed the spin!

Very beautiful song!
As Robert said, simpler than many of your songs and no less enjoyable!
RnAM's vocals are surely expressing what you want to say.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first?

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."
