The Greatest Is Love

Thanks so much for listening - feedback, good and bad, is always welcome!

RealTracks in style: ~542:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm Dreamy Ev 085

Lyrics (adapted from the First Letter of St. Paul to the Corinthians):

If I speak like an angel
but have no love
I'm like a cymbal
Clanging too loud.

If I see the future
And know everything
But have no love,
Then I'm nothing.

And if I have faith
Or self-sacrifice,
If I've no love
It don't suffice.

For what IS love like?
It's patient and it's kind;
It doesn't brag loudly
Nor has its pride.

It evil ignores,
Embracing us all,
And never fails,
Whatever may fall.

For everything else
Is here for a time
But love stays with us
Forever the same.

For now I look, slowly,
Into a mirror, so ...
But then I will know
Just as I'm known.

And so three remain,
Love, hope and faith;
But the greatest of these
Is love, always.

Nice work on this too musician17! The arrangement is a pleasure to listen to and rhythm is easy to follow. The movement of the strings flows with the other instrumentation nicely. Well done!


Cheers,
Joe

musician17, very good job putting this backing together for this wonderful message! It's funny how we had similar themes in our songs this week! There's probably a higher power at work here working these things out! Thanks for your efforts in this production! Torrey

Hello James ...

A wonderful song with a perfect message for us to live by. Your spoken vocal delivery is always a pleasant listen for me. Your voice is made for this style. I thoroughly enjoyed my listen. Thanks for the inspiration and wonderful listen.

Jim, Steve and Joe: Thank you! really, really kind words!

Torrey: Yes! - sometimes a higher power seems to indeed be at work, co-ordinating things. I've listened and commented on your own track, which I really enjoyed! I'm glad you enjoyed this effort of mine :-)

Al-David: Thank you so much for your kind comments - especially about my vocal delivery. I've always been unusually insecure about my voice, whether speaking lyrics or singing them - so it's so nice to hear positive comments about it.

You're all too kind, but thank you ever so much, every single one of you.

Nicely done smile It flows beautifully, and your vocal delivery really packs a punch here. Easy to close your eyes and get lost in.

Great work, and thanks for sharing!

A super message, one that we all should live by, backed by the perfect backing tracks. Your phrasing was perfect.

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.

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.

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."
