This song was written with a reggae feel, so in this remix I tried to bring it out, and simplify the instrumentation.

It's Not Love
D GAD DA 3 times
D It may be fine, it may be right
AD Just what you need tonight
DEmA It may be everything you want but it's not love

D It may be good, it may be sweet,
AD might make you feel complete
DEm It may help your broken heart,
DA it may help you play the part

GAD But it's not love
DA When you wake up in the morning with a stranger in your bed
GAD It's not love
DEmA When you use your best lines and don't mean a word you've said

GD You can pass the time, you can change your mind
BmA as you try to find your way
GBm and you tell yourself you will love again
DA but you don't feel right today

GAD A GAD A It's not love, I confess
GAD AD It's not love, but it's not loneliness

D You gave your heart too many times
AD never read between the lines
DEmA Now you won't admit that you're afraid of love

D And so you take what you can find
AD but it gives no piece of mind
DEm because it never feels the same
DA you know it's just a silly game

GAD It's not love
DA When you look for understanding and see an empty face
GAD It's not love
DEmA When you close your eyes and think of someone in their place

GD When the bed is warm but your heart is cold
BmA you should know that there's something wrong
GBm When the fire is low and the moment's gone
DA and you feel like you don't belong

GAD A GAD A It's not love, no sweet stuff
GAD AD It's not love, but it's risky enough
GAD A GAD A It's not love, so they say
GAD AD It's not love, but don't take it away
GAD A GAD A It's not love, it's not love
GAD AD it's not love, but it's almost enough.

HI Will,

I really enjoyed this. I got a sense of the Reggae feel in the chorus but not so much in the verses. Regardless, it's a really good song and a real pleasure to listen to.

I think the one thing that somewhat steals the Reggae nuance is the busy bass. It sounds terrific, but gives it more a Jazz - Rock sound, particularly in the verses. I like the catchy lyric. Very nice listen -- thanks!

Alan

I tried it as a pure reggae song, that's what the song memo is, and it didn't work, so I mixed up the instruments until it felt right

What a tune! I love the energy in that groove, and I definitely get a bit of that reggae inspiration you mentioned, particularly in the chorus - but even a bit in the verses too. Thanks so much for sharing smile

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.
