I think this was the first song I wrote when I was the proud owner of BIAB 2014 Basic and had 32 real tracks. I decided to re-do it with my new setup.

When the World Was Real
David Snyder


V1.

I miss the 4 track reel to reel
I miss that love that we used to feel
It was strong as American Steel
And brave men weren’t afraid to kneel
My lover sang me Let it Be
She reminded me Paul’s mother was named Mary
My friends knew all the notes to Purple Haze
Cause people could really play back in those days

CH:

Dylan asked me how it feels
To be out there on my own
Well I really don’t mind that much at all
I’ve always been a rolling stone
But I miss those days in a million ways
It’s exactly how I feel
I miss those days baby…
I miss those days
when the world was real



V2.

I kind of miss Led Zeppelin 4
The smell of vinyl in a record store
Walk in the valley of nevermore
Pull on my railroad boots and head right out the door
I dream sometimes of that silver girl, and I wonder
If she’s still sailing round the world
If the bridge over troubled water fell into the sea
Then she’s probably left stranded on the shore

CH 2:

Morrison said break on through
Keep going to the other side
But we never made it to the promised land
I guess we must have missed the ride
Well I look around and I’m a stranger babe
It’s exactly how I feel
I miss the magic baby…of the days
When the world was real…

Interlude:


CH. 3

Dylan asked me how it feels
To be out there on my own
Well I really don’t mind that much at all
I’ve always been a rolling stone
But I miss those days in a million ways
It’s exactly how I feel
I miss those days baby…
I miss those days
when the world was real
when the world was real
like a 4 track reel to reel
like the love we used to feel
strong as American steel
when the world was real
when the world was real
when the world was real

David,

It was good to hear where the BIAB journey began for you. I can't believe it's only been two years! You've certainly been a fountain of compositions in that short time. I admire how quickly you create and some of the great imagery and titles you come up with.

All the best,
Noel

David,

You are now moving forward at such a rate both lyrically and with your niche singing style
It’s time to start thinking about a album. I wish so much for you, it’s deserved.

David,
you're really crankin' out the hits lately!

I like this one a lot... especially the mix, but also the lyrics. You did a good job of picking a few nostalgic memories and working them into a story that a whole generation can identify with.

Chords were interesting too... nothing cookie cutter about this song.

You're on a roll, buddy! Keep 'em coming!

David,
I can hear a generation (mine!) saying " he nailed it!" to this song.... I hope they all get to hear it because its a fine song.
I like your vocal style -just the right amount of world weary in the feeling.
Robert

Yes you did nail it. Everything about this is perfect. I really liked your vocals on this one and the lyrics were spot on, especially for this old timer!

This is a keeper.


Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up.
Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

Oh yes! This one's really nice.
Like others said before you sure are getting better and better.
This one particularly has that nice nostalgic feeling which we really dig!

Terrific write, David... you can pull off those type references like no one else - your delivery screams "I believe every word of this!"... a gritty performance - a great blend of Bob and the Boss...

The guitars sound good. I thought the bass needed to be a lot more prominent and the drums a bunch deeper and louder (just opinions, of course) - a snare instead of the stick in the verses... (a big one)...

I really like this!

Almost forgot... that little piece of piano at the end (a mistake?)...extend that some (20 seconds?) and fade it slowly.... I was disappointed when it stopped...

Thanks Floyd, I am working on the drums and piano and a remix even as we speak. Good ideas. The piano was indeed a glitch.

Thanks for the comments.

You are spot on!!

Hey There!

Thanks, yes you are right, I let the compression get away from me on this way. Too bright is right. I will fix it on the next mix.

Thanks for the honesty and the good ear. It's what I need!!

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.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.

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."
