A TravelerI have received several comments how my songs remind of Pink Floyd and Alan Parsons so I tried to make a song with more feel of those artists. Although the song is long, I have tried to keep the song interesting with instrument variation and a tempo change. There is also a chord progression which is used throughout the song, but with melody only in the end. Lyrics are inspired by the unique beauty of our planet. Thanks to Band-in-a-box for making it so easy to realize musical visions, Vocaloid for testing the lyrical flow and RnAM for once more giving their excellent talent for my use. RealDrums: NashvilleEven16 RealTracks:Electric Bass #1036 Acoustic Guitar #1596, #1902 Acoustic Piano #1602, #1690, #1904 Electric Guitar #573, #833, #1000, #2650 Electric Guitar Solo #576 Sax Tenor #2411 Organ #673 +some sound effects Vocals: RnAM Child choir: Vocaloid Oliver & Ruby Mixed in Adobe Audition, final mix with vocals by RnAM. Lyrics:Once I was a traveler sailing through the clouds of the young universe Son, I have seen the worse, sandstorms, huge rocks dispersed. But there was a special place forgotten paradise a flourishing embrace in the middle of dust and ice. In a drifting space craft
a traveler and his child
a half-finished guidebook
to the finest pearls in the wild.Now, I'm a wanderer looking at the trail of a lone asteroid. Son, there are other orbs that are warm but they won't fill this void. The locals called it Earth the pasture of my psalm the valley of your birth a jewel laid on my palm. In a drifting...I had met a girl before the dusk began drought, pollution stained the precious of a man. Her appreciation of divine creation helped me through the wait in vain for the saving rain. Wish I could show you her grave she was the reason to stay the last rose in my bouquet. In a drifting...Things the years have left are these fading memories stories of a traveler to share from a father to an heir old wisdom the tree of life to respect and care. I recall the skies in royal blue I recall the leaves in every hue I recall the woods in luscious green I recall the lakes were pristine clean I recall the snow in virgin white rainbows in the spectre of light. - Janne

Janne,
What an effort! I have no idea how to begin writing a 7.5 minute song! Rob and Anne-Marie have really done your work justice! The vocaloid is an interesting touch.
I'm sitting here really liking what I'm hearing. You have given your all to create this. It must have been an exhausting effort!
All the best,
Noel

Quite an epic - liked the time changes and the variations. A real progressive rock composition.
Well written and performed. Interesting use of Vocaloid.

Noel Thanks Noel for your kind words. Well, the mixing and writing the lyrics were the biggest effort, sometimes it happens that there are so many ideas for melody/chords that it is easy to reach the 7 minute limit Quite an epic - liked the time changes and the variations. A real progressive rock composition.
Well written and performed. Interesting use of Vocaloid.
Peter
Thanks Peter for commenting and liking those details

First of all, it was very nice to work with Janne again.
This song was special in many ways, first the length of the song was a challenge.
Then there was the syncing with the vocaloid that was a true challenge for Anne-Marie.
Janne usually sends us his songs with the vocaloid as a singing example.
Now at the end of the song you can hear how good he is with programming it!

Flashback to the old FM radio days when a song could be over 3 minutes. This was as good as and better than many songs I have heard.
It takes a lot to keep me interested for 7.5 minutes but you did it perfectly. Everything about this is top shelf for sure. You vocal was exceptional, your backing tracks perfect, RnAM fit perfectly and your lyrics were great. Loved he tempo changes.
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.

Rob & Anne-Marie Thanks Rob & Anne-Marie for your kind comment and of course the excellent work you have done By the way, you don't have to replicate the vocaloid singing exactly, you can always make your own interpretation Janne

Beautiful work by you. Super vocal by RNaM
I can hear much Alan Parson influence than Pink Floyd.
Great work and super arrangement.

Sergio Thanks Sergio for your comment, I agree about RnAM's super vocal I have listened to Alan Parson much more than Pink Floyd, so that probably explains what you are hearing Janne

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."
