Lawrence,

This is extremely well done.

I enjoyed the simplicity of the guitar, covered with a sensational vocal.

The way you introduced the strings and other instruments gave depth and color without detracting from the overall presentation.

An outstanding vocal delivery made for a really perfect presentation. Thoroughly enjoyed it from start to finish.

Lawrence,

Like Trevor said, extremely well done.
Good to have you back on the forum.
A sparse arrangement, with a subtle buildup and top-notch vocals!

Lawrence, Good to hear you again. You have one of my favorite voices on this forum and I am always waiting to see what you have come up with next. I like the Acoustic guitar and the build. The mix is great and of course the vocal is outstanding. Don't stay away so long. Tom

Hi Lawrence,

A wonderful song!

An interesting time signature which helped give the track it's atmosphere.

As usual, a very emotive and powerful vocal and the whole thing topped-off by a superb mix.

ROG.

Love the guitar! That meter change is very effective at turning that simple riff into something super catchy and addictive. Vocal performance is stunning too -- wonderful job smile

Lawrence,

This is incredible, beautiful and sent shivers down my spine. The way you developed the arrangement is a real credit to you. I absolutely love the guitar ostinato that persistently weaves its way from beginning to end as the arrangement grows and grows. In the arrangement-style of Pachelbel Canon's, you've created something very special. Your writing and performance are spectacular. In my opinion, excellence doesn't get better than this.

Really impressive work.

Regards,
Noel

It's all been said before, but Wow! Beautiful, just beautiful!
Such a great song. One of my favourites on this forum.

I love the simple opening and how the song builds. First voice and guitar, then strings, then piano.
Your vocals are worth a special mention - great soulful tone and very cool vibrato.

Noel thank you very much. I clicked the link and listen for a bit. A very familiar composition to say the least. In fact the chord progressions are very similar and they are in the same key so it had a definite influence on my song even if it was subconscious. Very enlightening indeed.

Hi Lawrence,

The above members have offered well deserved accolades for all
aspects of this production. We agree with it all...the chord
structure, the write, the arrangement (the build) and the mix.

We would like to double down on the vocal. It is tremendous.
We've said it before but...we listen to Americana dally and
we both sincerely feel that your vocals are as good as anything
we here on the Americana charts. It has the earthy, heartfelt
emotional (but not overwrought) feel that just cuts right to
the emotional core.

It's great to enjoy another post from you. Please stay around
for a while!!

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."
