I've posted this song before, but it has quite a few changes and different drums. This is one of my favorite of my songs, so I keep trying to make it better.


https://soundcloud.com/willrockwell/just-friends


Just Friends

You are charged with the kind of motivation
that always takes my breath away
The day we met I sent you running through my heart
Switching on the lights and turning darkness into day

Locked in breathless emotion
Swinging to the sound of your voice
So anxious to know and desperate to show
I'm not just one of the boys

But I know
as quickly as it begins
the risk is coming
it's hard to pretend
Keep it to yourself
Don't let on we're just friends
I was captured by the same anticipation
that always seems to follow you
Hanging on to every word that passed your lips
Enchanted by the style in every little thing you do

It's just an illusion
a dream that I made for you
I'll keep it inside, hang on to my pride
for dreams have a way of coming true

And I know
I can hear it coming
and once it's said
it's hard to pretend
I don't want to hear it
You don't have to share it
Keep it to yourself
Don't tell me we're just

Friends don't give up their secrets
Friends don't kiss in tha moonlight
Friends don't put their thoughts away
and hold onto each other in the middle of the night

I don't want to hear it, I don't want to know
Please don't say it, don't tell me we're just
I don't want to hear it , I don't want to know
Please don't say it, don't tell me we're just friends
not just friends
I don't want to be just friends
No, not just friends

Will, don't think I remember this song, but I really like it!! You have a great melodic retro rock sound that I always enjoy. This is really nice-well sung, mixed, and easy to listen to! Take care. Greg

Will,

Very good song with a catchy riff!
This took me back to some of the great guitar driven 80`s Brit. bands - I can hear The Jam and maybe Graham Parker.
I missed the earlier version but your vocal is good and the mix sounds fine to me.

Robert

Thank you all. This is one of my favorite songs because I'm not familiar with another song that tries to capture this feeling, please don't tell me we're just friends.

Love the riff in this -- the octave fuzz style sound really really works well. Switching between the double-tracked vocals and solo vocals is really effective as well. Awesome job, Will! Glad you posted this again smile

Will,

Cool rock song!

Loved the group vocal sound and the jangly 12 string electric.

Great work,
Jez

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.
