Hey Greg,

This is a GREAT song. Really great. The mix is very hot though, in the mastering. What tool and pre-set are you using (if any)? If you are going to address the boominess you may want to trim back the high end. All these maximizers they have out these days can sometimes get out of control, Lord knows it has happened to me!! Awesome song though man.

I like the lyrics....insightful.

This time, I won't tell you what I don't like.

Just kidding... you should know me better than that.

The lead guitar.... just to harsh and wild for the feel of the song.
The strange progression... one chord in the chorus..... but I guess it could grow on me...
What's up with the ending? Sounded like you let BB do the ending for you.

All in all, A good write and a good job.


Hi Herb. THanks for the kind words. I think you're right about the guitar (a little over the top), and Yes I let BIAB do the ending. I was going to fade it but I kind of liked the funky end. As for the chord change in the B-section, I like it! Thanks again. Love getting your thoughts and listening to your tunes! Take care. Greg

Thanks Jim!! I think I probably pushed the mastering process a bit too hard, as much as I'd love to blame Soundcloud. Thanks for your support. Looking forward to your next one! Take care. Greg

Exquisite lyrics, and I really enjoyed the lead guitar. That was from BIAB?!!?

Overall, a very enjoyable song that will fit comfortably in a soothing and reflective playlist.

P.S. I hope you at least you found a good wife... ;-)


Thanks CK. Really appreciate your kind words! And, Yes, I found a great wife, who gave me two great kids! Take care. Greg

Thanks for the kind words David! Yeah, I probably got a little carried away on the processing. I'll try to tweak it a bit. Really loved your new one!! Take care. Greg

Strong start with the guitar introduction, and stays strong to the haunting ending.

Love the hook. Well sung, great production, and everything fits together in a way that's the earmark of a great pop song. It sticks in my ear after the song ends - something that doesn't happen very often.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

THanks David for your very kind comments! I know you are a very critical listener and your words mean a lot to me. Take care. Greg

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."

Happy Easter! Holiday Hours...

2024 is well underway - it's already Easter Weekend!

Our Customer Service hours this weekend are:

Friday, March 29: 8-4
Saturday, March 30: 8-4
