Hello to all. I haven't been on the forum lately, but I have been writing and recording, and using BB 2020 on all my recordings.
This song was written about the isolation we all find ourselves in. I wanted to make an optimistic song despite the grim reality, and thought, this should be a Moody Blues song. It was a challenging idea, but I have nothing but time, and found some Mellotron samples on my keyboard.
The ProTools recording has 52 tracks, and many of them including all the basic tracks, are BB. I apologize for not listing the BB samples, I lost track of them.

I really like this one. Your vocal is really good here. The mix is super. Sometimes many tracks, like 52, can sound muddy and cluttered but this mix is perfect; i.e. I can hear everything. Outstanding job.
This is air play ready.
As soon as I saw you name on this post, I had to immediately click and have a listen.
The opening 20 seconds of your song grabbed like a cop accosting a looter during a riot.
The soundscape you created with all those tracks is so richly textured.
The lyrics really hit home. This is a quality production and write.
Thank you for the kind words. Kudos to RealBand and Dave Cleveland for the excellent lead guitar work.
Will,
Good to have you back! Very cool and inspiring tune. Clever harmonies. Overall sound BIG. You put a lot of thought behind your mixes. Good deal. Enjoyed it! Thank you for sharing.
Misha.
I put together a composite song memo for this song. The one track not included is the bass, which is the 2939 Fretless electric rock 8ths bass by Rene Worst, who will be my main choice for bass from now on.
