Hi. Had a year break and missed the forum.
The intonation is a bit shaky on this but as good as I can get it.
Hope you enjoy it and all comments are welcome especially constructive criticism. Cheers.

slightly more gentle version on soundcloud

All done in RealBand.
RealDrums - Country even 8
Accordian - RT 1173 - Rhythm pop calypso
Rhythm - my Danelectro baritone guitar (learning to play it)
Bass - my Pedulla

Walking one evening by the Bay the question came up 'what happens to us when we die'. Everyone has different ideas/beliefs on this (so I wouldn't debate it ) but what if they were all correct and whatever you believed is what happens to you?

Don't Really Know

Wandering and wondering what'll I do Lights on the water lead me to you
Mist on the mountain muddies my mind If I keep searching what'll I find

She watches ships slip smooth thru the port Watches gulls soar silken skys
Squeezes my hand as we pause on the board-walk turns, looks me in the eye

A question what happens to us when we die

What you be-lieve what you feel is true it's the most likely thing that will happen to you
Heart leads soul where it needs to go But no-one comes back so we dont really know

For some peaceful sleep like a warm cozy bed for others a city of light
So many people the paths that they tread e-ven-tually they all u-nite

What you be-lieve what you feel is true it's the most likely thing that will happen to you
Heart leads soul where it needs to go But no-one comes back so we dont really know

Richard,

It's great to see you back in the forum. You've been gone way too long! You certainly haven't lost the knack for vivid imagery.

My favourite lines...

Quote:
She watches ships slip smooth thru the port
Watches gulls soar silken skies
Squeezes my hand as we pause on the board-walk
Turns, looks me in the eye
A question what happens to us when we die?

I found the above highly visual. It's a very strong sequence of lyrics.

All the best for Christmas and beyond,
Noel

Thank you Noel. It's good to catch up with you. I know you have done some good songs this year and will be glad to start listening and making inappropriate comments again. And all the best to you for Christmas and beyond ( I like that expression ) Cheers.

Nice work, good song - liked the Danelectro guitar bits - sounds like you are doing well learning to play.

An interesting write, Richard - which is always the case with you... and a very interesting conclusion - quite novel...I've never heard that suggested before...clever.

Some nice alliteration. Great to have you back around...

..Christmas and beyond to you!.. Did the earthquake affect you?

Richard, it's really great that you put some of your own playing in here. Well done. The idea behind your theory is an eye opener. Something to consider. Glad you're back and Happy Holidays. Tom

Thanks for that Peter. The Danelectro certainly has its own sound. Big stretches on the baritone though. Cheers.

Yeah greetings Floyd. Christmas and beyond to you and yours.
Although there's been quite a bit of earthquake activity I haven't felt any and hope it stays that way.
I really like the idea of everybody being right and all getting what they believe they'll get.
Maybe it's even true!
Cheers.

Hi Tom. Best wishes Christmas and beyond.
Didn't turn out quite as i'd envisioned but it's a song I've needed to write.
Much as I love RealTracks sometimes it's easier to just play a part in.
Thanks to all for making me feel welcome. Cheers.

"What you be-lieve what you feel is true
it's the most likely thing that will happen to you
Heart leads soul where it needs to go
But no-one comes back so we dont really know"

Zen like yet even more personal.

Welcome back and, man, what a thought provoker.

We like it. A lot.

Hi Rich,

We've been away for the better part of this year, too. It's been hit and miss ... mostly miss!

Interesting and clever write! Enjoyed hearing your music again!

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year

Thank you Greg. Your comments are always very supportive and helpful.
You wouldn't believe how much time I spent on this song. But I wrote it for Shirley-Louise really so not time wasted. Will be sticking around. Cheers.

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."
