Floyd,
I have been out of commission for several weeks, and my time is very short today, but when I saw your song post, I had to listen. I'm sure glad I did. You know I am a fan of your work, and this one is just another good one to add the the list! Great chorus. Love the turn of the words, inside out.
Really enjoyed it!
Steve

Hey floyd, I've been listening to "Inside Out" just about every time I wander around Users Showcase. Twenty or so listens later, it's still sounds fresh and makes me smile. The only difference is that I can now sing a long with you, American accent and all  So, what do I like ... 1. Introduction The 4/4 bar followed by a 2/4 bar of drums alone is just great at setting the mood. Upbeat and happy, and the mixed time signatures throw the listener a little out of kilter because they are not what's expected. As you've show us many times in your songs, there's nothing quite like disrupting 'what's expected' to set the emotional tone. 2. Verses I laughed out loud at "i salted my coffee, i sugared my eggs, now they're scrambled and a little too sweet". That's such a good image! What stood out to me most in the verses is how you used rhyme to close a section. By this, I mean that the first 4 lines of each verse is essentially a single thought and that thought cleanly closes when line 4 rhymes with line 2. Then lines 5 to 8 begin a new lyrical thought. While that second lyrical thought also closes equally strongly with rhyme, musically you leave the 8th line wide open so that it drives home into the chorus. Nice! 3. Chorus That aaabba rhyme scheme is awesome! And the pay-off of twisting the interpretation of 'inside out' around, well, that's classic floyd jane creativity that's a signature in so many of your songs. In "Inside Out", it's also a terrific pay-off. 4. Writing Melody, lyrics and chord progression are incredibly well matched. 5. Arrangement When I listened from the perspective of arrangement, words that sprang to mind were "thoughtful", "oooo, that's clever", "great use of musical sweeteners and spices", "this could SHOULD be on the radio". 6. Performance For me, the believability factor of these lyrics clocks in at 100%. The singer (as the song's main character) is incredibly easy to visualise and to feel empathy with. He's a really likeable person. The combination of melody, lyrics and your singing makes all this possible in such a professionally seamless way. Ok ... it's back for another listen now .... All the best, Noel

I'll join the lovefest and just say how much I enjoyed this one. The only nitpick I have (and I hope you don't mind) is while the piano lead fit well into the song I felt it didn't sit quite so well into the mix. Sorry that gives you a lower score of 9.9999998. (I'm really into the Olympics right now LOL). A really nice effort bringing this one to life. As always I stand in awe of your talents my friend.
Rick

Rick - thanks for the spin. Don't mind other's opinions at all - always good to take a look at something that doesn't quite sit right for anyone - regardless of what aspect. I fully understand your feeling on the piano lead (I assume you mean the solo before the last chorus). It did take a little extra work to get it to sit where it does. For me, it sounds like it fits/blends at the beginning, but then towards the end, it gets very bright and pops out - so that going back "out" of the solo feels like it "blends" less well... I could use an EQ envelope to adjust that part of the applied EQ - so that's something to have a look at going back to this... Thanks. 9.9999998 - dang! another miss!

Musician Brent Mason in the Studio Recording RealTracks!
Before leaving Nashville, Tobin caught up with Brent Mason recording some future RealTracks in the studio.
We can't wait to hear them!
Video - Adding RealTracks to Your Band-in-a-Box® Song
There are 300 RealTracks Sets available (over 2,500 RealTracks!), and here at PG Music we have this to say about them: You'll want to use RealTracks in all of your projects... and you can!
But what if you're not sure how to add them to your Band-in-a-Box® song? We have a video for that! Click here to watch...
Save Notation Window as a Video with Band-in-a-Box® 2018 for Mac
Did you know... Band-in-a-Box® 2018 for Mac allows you to save the Notation Window as a video? What a great way to share your songs with users, and LEARN from the notation as you listen!
From the program manual:
[Save As] | Save as video
-In the Make Notation Video dialog, select a track at the upper left corner. (Note: The dialog title says “Make Chord Sheet Video” until you select a track.)
-You can also set the dimension (width/height) of the video and select the number of frames per second and a specific codec.
-Press the [OK - Render Video] button to start rendering the video. When the video has been created, press the [Show Video File] button.
-You can then double click on the file to watch the rendered video.
Note: A special use of this feature is to combine a Video RealTracks (new with version 2018) with the corresponding notation in a single video. This creates an educational video, which shows the actual performance with notation/tab, playing over your chord progression! To do this, right-click on the Master button or one of the track buttons at the top of the main screen and select Render Video(s) from the menu.
