Hello everyone, Our new song: Out on the street Many years ago, about 1994, Rob met this homeless man who told him his story. This led him to write this song . Originally composed on a Roland E-10 Keyboard. This is the new Band in a Box R & AM version (the original intro samples were kept intact). It took a while to get the right soloist for this song. Brent Mason (who else :-) ) turned out to be the best. The video might struck you as kind of gloomy, but we think it suits the song quite well. Any comments are welcome. lyrics: out on the street there's a ragged man I wanted to meet he said I'll find a way to make you see my way of life it worries me I myself I wander about and see the people I must do without you know I'd cry a tear or two considering the things they do and though I take good care no one seems to want me there there's a way to forget the wicked things that people said in a way I'm glad you see as I roam around in my fantasy and there's a lot of friends I meet though they remain in my reality the reason I go on you see is a need to find some harmony I can't live feeling all I do is what the people want me to and though I take good care no one seems to want me there there's a way to forget the wicked things that people said Used real tracks: Bass Pop Half Notes Ev 85 Accordion Rhythm Pop 8 Ths Ev 85 High Strung Acoustic Fingerprinting Pop 16 ths Mandolin Rhythm Pop 16 Sync Ev 85 Guitar Electric Rhythm Pop 16 Ths Gritty Ev 16 85 Viola Background Pop Ev 85 real drums: Praiseworshipslow 16ths Soloist: CountryBrent 85 regards, R & AM

Hi there Rob and Anne-Marie.
Wonderful song with the feel of a 60s folk/protest song, the sort of thing Leonard Cohen might have written.
Lovely arrangement and production of both the track and the video.
Vocals and harmony were excellent. I can't believe how you manage to do all this not in your native language. It's hard enough for us native English speakers. All credit to you.
ROG.

Really great stuff!! Music works perfectly with all parts fitting together in a sweet and seamless fashion. I love the musical change that occurs as the chorus begins. I think we have another gem! Take care. Greg

Rob and Anne-Marie...
A terrific mix of instruments and wonderful arrangement.
Beautiful vocals and harmonies, as always. An excellent mix.
And a beautiful song. The verses had a bit of a "Harry Chapin flavor" which was perfect for the storyline.
A very enjoyable listen.

"in a way I'm glad you see as I roam around in my fantasy and there's a lot of friends I meet though they remain in my reality"
Great lines. Enjoyed the production all the way around!

A real professional studio sounding recording including vocal harmonizing.
All Band in a Box ( with the exception of the vocals ) ???
Enjoyed your performance and the musical mood albeit dark it set.

Hello Janice and Bud,
thank you! Yes, writing lyrics was much easier in those days, I was a lot younger then. And now, with BIAB, so many songs, so many arrangements, so much possibilities. It's hard to keep track with decent lyrics....
Regards, Rob

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."
