I'm posting my second song here, loved and appreciated the warm
welcome I got from the first. This is a country type ballad "I wanna
get you back" song. Thanks for listening and commenting.

Chasing Down A Spark
Kenny Leverett © 2015


We were talking on the phone
On a lazy summer night
I could taste your velvet kiss
Watched the lightning strike
In the distance from my room
Me and that lonely old moon

Chasing down a spark
Where once there was a fire
Trying to get you back
I’m walking on a wire

Pray that in the ashes
Something still burns
Maybe some redemption
From the point of no return
And stumbling in the dark
Chasing down a spark

Held onto every word
Listening to you breathe
You seemed so far away
Are you missing me
We could find a way
To make it last
Forget the past

Chasing down a spark
Where once there was a fire
Trying to get you back
I’m walking on wire

Pray that in the ashes
Something still burns
Maybe some redemption
From the point of no return
And stumbling in the dark
Chasing down a spark

Kenny,

Nice one. A lot of nice phrases throughout the lyric.
I especially like the melody line on the first line.

Cool vocal.

I did keep thinking a bass (simple) should join in at some point...

Enjoyed listening.

Really, Really nice!! There is such a tangible, natural quality to your lyrics and your vocals. It is just really easy to listen to. Love the chord change with "walking on a wire". Cool title, cool concept, and excellent delivery in every sense! I do agree with Floyd that a bass would be a nice addition. I have a feeling you've been writing songs for a while. Much enjoyed! Take care. Greg

A good track, but like the others have said, I would have liked to see it build a little as it progressed.

Clever lyrics and well delivered vocal track.

Nice composition. Great lyrics and melody. I could imagine this song with an Alison Krauss/Union Station treatment based on the theme and your delivery here.

Hi Kenny,

I enjoyed the listen. "Chasing down a spark" is such a great hook and you developed it very well through your lyrics.

Regards,
Noel

Nice hook and all around
write delivered with a
fine vocal. The mix sounded
great on my monitors. OK, I'm
a bass player so I gotta say
"where's the bass man/lady?" smile

We enjoyed it!

Kenny,

A wonderfully relaxing song, thoroughly enjoyed the listen.

I agree about the inclusion at some point of a bass line.

But still a beautiful song

keep 'em coming

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."
