Lonely Days Of DestinyStyle: _WAYSIDE Category: Country I had a dream in which I had written a song called Lonely Days Of Destiny. I heard couple of bars from this country song in the dream. The title sounded so good that I felt I had to make it for real, but otherwise I had free hands to do it. When the new Xtra styles were released, I watched the introduction video and immediately noticed that _WAYSIDE.STY was ideal for my song, so I had no other choice than to buy the styles  . And here it is, reconstructed from this minimal input data. This song was definitely destined to take part in this great contest I hope my interpretation of a country song does not offend the purists  I hired Johnny and June Rob and Anne-Marie to do the vocals and what a fantastic job they did once again! Instruments from the style _WAYSIDE.STY: RD: NashTrainEv16^1-a:Sticks Snare , b:Sticks Snare 16th :Brian Fullen RT2474: Bass, Acoustic, Held Ev 085 , Craig Nelson RT664: Guitar, Acoustic, Rhythm SouthernRock Ev 085 (A:fpick) , Audley Freed RT2548: Guitar, Acoustic, Rhythm FolkSorrow Ev16 090 , Quinn Bachand RT378: Guitar, Acoustic, Strumming DoubleTime Ev 088 , Jason Roller RT2543: Pedal Steel, Background ModernCrossover Sw16 090 additional realtracks: RT2448: Guitar, Electric, Background, PopDreamyBrent Ev 085 RT2517: Guitar, Acoustic, Fingerpicking BoomChickHighJoe Ev16 110 (Simple) RT2637: Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm CountryBentNoteBalladJohn Ev 085 Vocals: RnAM Lyrics: Lonely days of destiny cheerless days that no-one hears about days that are all akin old does not end and new does not begin. Lonely days of destiny that could be the title of my song filled with thousand clichéd rhymes that have been used 5 million times no phrases strong, no leaps for the mankind just verses boring and long. They say the fortune
is written in stardust
you can read my life
in the brown ink of rust
these lonely days are unjust.Lonely days of destiny pointless days that no-one reads about grey has just one shade the future's not built and history's not made. Lonely days of destiny that could be the title of my book filled with thousand empty lines without the spark of Frankenstein a lifeless look of a frustrated reader a story, no catch, no hook. They say...When finding a friend is uncertain goldmining you can't share the cloud with a nice silver lining then pick up your pencil and earn from your misery moments in losers' days of destiny just like me. They say...
these lonely days: rich and just. - Janne

I really like this! I love those "dream songs"--that is the absolute coolest. Wonderful arrangement. Gorgeous work with the guitars. But I don't understand the part about Johnny. He shows up anytime I call him, and takes a little break from heaven. He does tell me that the country music up there is A LOT better than it is down here, though. Isn't that strange? Except for this song of course!!!

Once again it was a pleasure to work with Janne on a...... country song this time.
Now at first glance this song sounds relatively simple, but there's a catch, Janne's songs are never simple ;-)
In the bridge there is a very tricky moment in the "moments in losers" part (a very nice dropping note).
I remember one or two lines in the choruses I had trouble singing correctly. So we thought, let's just copy these lines to the final chorus (after the solo).
No sir, it turned out to be modulated (we had no idea).
Good work from our Finland songwriter.
Rob

what a great story and what a great song, lovely lyrics. Well sung by that Rob fellow too enjoyed that a lot! Keep on dreaming if this is the quality of your songs Alyn Thanks Alyn for liking the story, the song and singing I have made several songs originally 'heard' in a dream, but it has also happened several times that I have later realized that it was not my song  I hope it won't happen this time and this song will become a new 'Yesterday' Enjoyed your song a lot. The "dream" was captured beautifully in song.
Great vocals from Rob and Anne-Marie too.
Well done.

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."
