Bob, Really strong write and great vocal. I like the repeat at the end of the super first verse. Nicely put together. I enjoyed this very,very much. Tom

Hi Bob,
What a great song, fantastic arrangement and brilliant production! Your singing is superb and the harmonies are terrific.
Verse 1 is spectacular. It really pulled me into the song. The way in which you've assembled the list of items in increasing order of importance is perfect! Cole Porter (list song expert) couldn't have done better. And that opening metaphor ... He's an awkward line from an unfinished poem... it contains such a wealth of information and imagery. That's inspired writing indeed.
Truly excellent.
All the best, Noel

"He's an awkward line From an unfinished poem A forgotten man With no way home In a crowded world He is all alone There but for the grace of God."
Mr. Burke... you blew me away with that. Every line. Every word.
Loved the arrangement. And I always dig your vocals...
You make this look easy.

Well done. I like how you craft the lyrics on this one.
Lots of folks tend to slip through the cracks of society.... great job and introspective view on this topic.
You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

very touching song Bob.. thought provoking and a little bit disturbing. Music needs to do that to us sometimes. Good job.

Most excellent. When poetic lyrics "work" it is a wonderful thing. And this is an example of them working and working wonderfully well.
Like Pat said, "thought provoking."
Sounds like a lot of heart went into both the write and the vocal.
Mix sounds great on the KRK's.
Kudos!

Bob, Listened to your song. Much has been said, I couldn't agree more...
Sometimes a song is destined to be an anthem, this song to me, feels like one!
Congratulations,
see you around,
Fred

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."
