Well, I wasn’t grabbed by that opening sequence of chord changes.
But thereafter, this one was a bit of a treat.

I raelly like the tone of the vox and the judiciously chosen backing instruments, which provide just the right level of depth.

That’s one seriously catchy chorus, just the way I like them!

Also, very well done for setting quite a bleak lyric to an upbeat musical setting. The overall effect is one of hope which I guess was the effect you were looking for.

There are one or two points which perhaps could be improved.

Starting with the lyric…

I found some of the lyrics a little awkward with repetitions that added little artistically the ‘loved ones’, all those ‘seems’ and, in particular I found the ‘miss them’ / ‘wish for them’ lines rather clunky.

Also, this could be me, but I find the 2nd verse problematical. Specifically, I don’t see where the sacrifice comes in.

Musically I feel the lead gtr part could use a little work. It’s as if its always searching for a strong hook that fits, particularly after the key change.

Also for me, the ‘quietened down’ ending section is not a huge success.

But overall I really enjoyed this one and will definitely get round to listening to some more of your stuff.


Regards,

Marc

You are most definitely NOT wasting your time. Great track. The modulation could have been a bit smoother, but it's tricky to get just so with software. But really- a great track. And remember, no matter what anyone says or doesn't say- if it works for you it's not a waste of time. The crime would be to waste the talent. Keep 'em coming.

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!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.

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."
