Bob, Don and Floyd. Thanks for the latest comments. Point taken about the word "Serenity" Floyd It is NEARLY OVER. Don't know if I am going to miss it or be relieved. I think the big take home for me is just how many great song writers take part in this every year. This guy Arthur Rossi who I have collaborated with in Whats the Time in Amsterdam, The Train to Phnom Penh and this one has written nearly 100 sets of lyrics during FAWM (He aims to reach 100, of which many are in German). 31 of these lyrics have been set to music by various FAWMers. An incredible achievement! I am half (and only half) tempted to give 50 90 a whirl...... Here is song # 11
I HATE PLANES with Arthur Rossi
Lyrics The airport is as airports are, cold, a little dark, and today you’re leaving, and today you’re leaving... your bags already on the flight there’s half a life inside, today you’re leaving, today you’re leaving... (Chorus) I hate planes, if they were not there, you'd still be here you’d be my darling, still my dear and all’d be the same... I hate planes, oh, I hate planes... I just wished the'rd be no planes, no ships, no cars, no trains, so you’d not be leaving, so you’d not be leaving... I hope you’ll think of us, don’t look back through that glass when you are leaving, when you are leaving (Chorus) I hate planes, if they were not there, you’d still be here, you’d be my darling, still my dear, and all’d be the same... I hate planes, oh, I hate planes...

Josie,
Sorry to be so stupid, helpless, and ill-informed, but you had a mellow, Folk Acoustic Guitarist on a recent song (don't even remember song title) but I think it perfect for a current project. Please help me find that specific style.
As wonderful as the new Style Picker is, it depends upon the Irish user to prompt it with ACCURATE data. I know it was FOLK>ACOUSTIC>GUITAR but that leads to dozens of styles to audition. Hopefully, you can give me the style NAME. Hint: It's one of your a new FAWM songs.
Thanks,
Donny

Song # 12 Uncovered with Cynthia Wolff I will hopefully get one more song done before the end of Feb (I have another collab that I have promised so I had better!) Last weekend they had a whole weekend of "Skirmishes". This is were somebody hosts an hour of intense songwriting. They publish a topic and people write a song, record and publish in an hour! I wrote something really bad..(I guess it takes practice..I wont post it here) but someone called Cynthia Wolff wrote a wonderful lyric that really spoke to me because it was quite close to the bone to what has happened to me (and many many others). So I offered to put her lyric to music and this is the result. I am drifting. A country without law. my unprotected skin Worn and torn and raw Exposed and vulnerable Pulled from my home Taken from my country Left alone to roam Bombs bursting Bricks tumbling Down Down Down All around me now history Down Down Down Down Down Underneath the night sky No bed to call my own Had to flee my homeland Left alone to roam What gives you the right To treat man this way Uncovered and exposed Homeless left to stray Gone is everything Our pride our dignity Where lies the blame for this inhumanity Where lies the blame Realtracks RealTracks in song: ~~701:Bass, Electric, PopHalfNotesSync Ev 085 RealTracks in song: 887:Piano, Acoustic, Solo-Accompaniment FolkPopPrairie Ev 100 RealTracks in style: ~~365:Guitar, Acoustic, Fingerpicking Ev 085 RealDrums in Song: NashvilleEven8^1-a:Sidestick, HiHat , b:Snare, Ride Final stretch now so any comments most welcome...

It's your normal fabulous, Jo!
I especially like the theme and story-line. Sometimes it is okay to leave the listeners "down, down, down". In this case, your having actually experienced it adds an element impossible to imitate. You've turned negative experience into a valuable asset.
You go, girl!
Donny

Hi Joanne,
I listened to the last 3 songs and
I like them all. It's always a pleasure
to listen to your vocals and harmonies.

Phew! It is over and the fat lady has sung. I managed to get my count of 14 new songs (the missing one is one that I am too embarrassed to post because it was a one hour skirmish). Thanks to everyone who has listened to any of the songs and taken the time to comment. Kevin Emmrich has also been a great encouragement for me.It is much appreciated. I hope I can now get back to some listening.(I sound like I just won an Oscar!) FAWM really is a wonderful experience and I highly recommend it to all forum members. The highlight for me has been the collaborations, which have all been extremely easy and productive. Band in a Box is the most awesome too for something like this. I have had loads of comments about the production of my tracks. I have also had loads of comments and questions on my harmonies so I am going to do a blog post on my website shortly to explain exactly how I have been doing those. The last song is this one that is a collaboration with John Hudome called Stuck in my mind
Lyrics: Sun is setting in the west Maybe I can get some rest Days I sit here locked inside Living here inside my mind Lost in thoughts of yesterday Doesn’t matter anyway Darker thoughts haunting me on my own by never free Prechoruse I know you don’t understand Try to do the best I can Find the place I'm looking for Still I hope to find more Fear there’s nothing left inside Chorus … Tears, pain showing on my face… … Fears, again, echo in this place… … You say you're coming back some time… … I live here waiting stuck here in my mind Last call, its all too clear closing time is near Shut it down and lock the door I expect, nothing more Brige Floating on a cloud Music plays too loud Words are all unclear Turning hope to fear Realtracks: RealTracks in song: 908:Bass, Electric, SmoothBallad Ev16 065 RealTracks in style: ~364:Guitar, Acoustic, Fingerpicking Ev 065 RealTracks in style: ~368:Guitar, Acoustic, Strumming Ev 065 Tambourine even8ths RT409:Fiddle, Background George Ev 08

Congrats! That more song's than we've written in the last year and a half!
We really do admire you for taking on an endeavor like this AND being
successful with it.
And that is a nice tune to close it all out with.

Josie,
I've long since quit trying to limit the boundaries of your talent and physical energy.
You are very talented, my friend.
A subtlety that I especially liked was the held fiddle note ending. Not Earth shaking but a very pleasant surprise - ear candy.
I'll go back and re-listen before commenting on the storyline or lyrics. That requires more attention that is impossible here.
Donny.
PS: I'm glad FAWM is over. I've been suffering Josie withdrawal on SJ. (Smile)

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."
