All tracks are BIB except the arpeggio guitars.

You are charged with the kind of motivation
that always takes my breath away
The day we met I sent you running through my heart
Switching on the lights and turning darkness into day

Locked in breathless emotion
Swinging to the sound of your voice
So anxious to know and desperate to show
I'm not just one of the boys

But I know
as quickly as it begins
the risk is coming
it's hard to pretend
Keep it to yourself
Don't let on we're just friends
I was captured by the same anticipation
that always seems to follow you
Hanging on to every word that passed your lips
Enchanted by the style in every little thing you do

It's just an illusion
a dream that I made for you
I'll keep it inside, hang on to my pride
for dreams have a way of coming true

And I know
I can hear it coming
and once it's said
it's hard to pretend
I don't want to hear it
You don't have to share it
Keep it to yourself
Don't tell me we're just

Friends don't give up their secrets
Friends don't kiss in tha moonlight
Friends don't put their thoughts away
and hold onto each other in the middle of the night

I don't want to hear it, I don't want to know
Please don't say it, don't tell me we're just
I don't want to hear it , I don't want to know
Please don't say it, don't tell me we're just friends
not just friends
I don't want to be just friends
No, not just friends

Hey Will,

I REALLY liked this one.

The backing was very busy and detailed, but I could still hear everything and the way it cruised along was great.

Loved the story, particularly the lines -

"Friends don't give up their secrets
Friends don't kiss in tha moonlight
Friends don't put their thoughts away
and hold onto each other in the middle of the night"

That was inspired.

I see you've not been with us long, so let me say welcome to the forum and I look forward to more of your stuff.

ROG.

I really like this!! Very well written and great vibe.

he day we met I sent you running through my heart
Switching on the lights and turning darkness into day

Great lyric. I would change the word "sent" to "felt" -just an opinion

Really enjoyed this! Take care. Greg

Greg,
You were spot on with your suggestion of changing "sent" to "felt". I did a new vocal and remixed. Here's the result. You'll be getting a tiny royalty check.

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."
