Hi, Torrey!

Vocal sounds fine to me, harmonies especially are tight.

Love the groove, reminds me of Steely Dan somewhat.

Great message, and great hook!

It's really good to see you with a new song smile

Torrey,
Wonderful tune and amazing vocal & instrumental performance. Harmonies worked very well, they do not feel "struggled". A+ message. Very clear mix. 3 spins, always something new to find. Enjoyed it and thank you for sharing.

Misha.

What can I say Dan but thanks so much! Your kind words always leave me humbled! Take care, TB

Hmmm. I've heard this one several times and it's about time I tell ya how much I enjoy it. (Actually I thought I commented before, but the song had me so enthralled that I never pushed the Post Replay button. Well, Torrey, I guess that says it all.

Outstanding lyrics and great advice. You are one heck of an inspirational human, brother. I'n so glad you're getting it done in spite of the added effort. The results are definitely not disappointing. Terific melody and harmony.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Wow, what a song!! Kinda reminds me of the Doobie Brothers sound. That lead guitar is great, and the three part harmony is spot on.

Torrey, whatever vocal problems you have, rest assured that your vocals are great and better than anything I could pull off.

Great song, great vocal performance.

Mornin' Torrey....

I like it!
It has an easy going flow to it that pulls you in..
All the vox are sounding great along with the fine axe work.

I've been operating in creative deficit the last few months. frown

This is a good song Torrey....hope all is well.

Your BIAB search was fruitful. You hit on the right style. I dig the RT bass line. Your guitar fills add subtle flavor to your song. Harmonies sound good. I like the sudden ending.

This is classic Torrey with a great message in the lyric, powerful vocals and instrumental performances and a tight mix.

The style you chose very well suits the song’s optimistic tone.

We came across a quote last month that reminds us of your song:
“It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are.”

We’re so happy to hear you again!

Torrey,

Great sound!
The chord progression is very interesting.
The melody that is developed on top of it is also wonderful.
As usual, the vocals, harmonies, and guitar playing are also very nice.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

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."
