I wrote this in a break from decorating, hence the 1st verse. laugh

The paper on the wall

The paper on the wall
torn and tattered
nothing mattered
just to be with you

Don't give me that ole jive
mind is reeling
funny feelings
got to be with you

I make the rhyme
you make the time
I made you mine I did
didn't I
wowowo didn't I

Don't hurt me with your tongue
I'll get along now
this song now'll
be all I have

SOLO

I make the rhyme
you make the time
I made you mine I did
didn't I
wowowo didn't I

The paper on the wall
it's torn and tattered
cos nothing mattered
only to be with you
I want to be with you

Alyn,

I always enjoy your stuff. Always different, always interesting, often innovative. Often showing your influences "just enough" to keep it original.

This might be my favorite of anything you've ever done. A bit beatlesque, but mostly Lennon-esque. And all Alyn..

Super arrangement/production. Nicely paced. Perfect guitar solo to compliment - and shake it up a bit...

(I wish you would turn off the song list that follows - I wanted to savor the listen - and then something else starts playing - and ruins the moment... I had to keep going back and turning those off)

COOL song! Loved it.

Floyd said it perfectly. A real treat!! Interestingly, when I was listening to the first verse (very sparse) I thought to myself, "this would be a great song to bring in the heavy feel later" and sure enough, there it was. Your songs have such a spontaneous, creative feel. Always love to hear what you're doing! If I were going to suggest anything, there are 2 spots I think where the vocal is a little pitchy. Your sound would be compromised by over-tweaking because it would lose the humanity but I feel there are a few spots that could be lightly tweaked. Absolutely love this!! Take care. Greg

Hi Alyn,

COOL! You sure know how to add dynamics to your music.
Huge dynamics from verse to chorus.
Rob is quite familiar with the Papelmedia SF2. He purchased it years ago (relatively cheap soundfont). And added the Irina Brochin section to his basic GM soundfont. We use it all the time!

Nice song to listen to. It draws you in. I enjoyed the change in dynamics between the finger picked acoustic guitar and vocal versus the electric guitar solo with synth effects.

Alyn, please feel free to take some more breaks from decorating, laundry, lawn mowing, etc. and keep these gems coming. Wonderful piece of music here.

That was pretty cool.

I like the melody and chord prog.

Alyn, I really like this a lot. Very beatlesque. Great guitar! I am going back for several more listens. Love the break before the last verse. Very very cool. Oh yeah the arrangement and performance was so stunning I forgot to mention nice mix. Tom

Greg,

Thanks, I tend to like the heavier style of music to make people sit up a bit and go woah!!

Yeh I am a bit pitchy on this song, shows my true singing skills as I sometimes write stuff I cannot really sing well. As I sometimes sing the song in my mind when I write, I should really do it properly but that's me.
I think I can say I have never used a pitch correction plug. If I cant hit the note then I wander about until one fits-ish

Thanks for lisyening

Wow! Talent and BiaB at it's best!
Beatlesque indeed as floyd mentioned.

The juxtaposed guitar solo is very
effective.

Nice write and production to wrap
it all up in. Hey, keep that lava lamp burning!

We really enjoyed this.

Thanks Jim, glad you enjoyed the song. I wrote it with the intention that it went loud for the solo and I am glad it worked.

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."
