This is a new arrangement and mix with extra overdubs, I've been trying for years to get the definitive version of this song, this may be it.

A GIRL LIKE YOU
GCDGCD
GC You've got yourself a girl but you know there's nothing in it
GC It's the only game around so you take it to the limit
GC Keep your feelings to yourself and you hope it will be better next
D time, next time around
GC You can play it to the end, you could stop it on a dime
GC and you'd like to shop around but you haven't got the time
GC You can chase the little girls but you never can forget about the
D love that you haven't found
GFAm A girl like you could make my life a wonderland
G I was overdue for love
FAm running back and forth like a squirrel in the road
FAmD walking alone on a crowded avenue
G looking for a girl like you
GC Looking, I've been looking so long GC Looking, I've been looking so long
GG When you come upon a love that you know is gonna stay
GC Tell her everything you feel, don't you let her slip away
GC Take whatever time it needs, let her see that she's the only one that
D you want to know about
GC Take her gently in your arms, let your feelings run deep
GC As you give all of your love, hold each other in your sleep
GC And you'll never have to worry, never have to keep your feelings inside,
you can let it out
GFAm A girl like you could make my life a wonderland
G I was overdue for love
FAm running back and forth like a squirrel in the road
FAmD walking alone on a crowded avenue
G looking for a girl like you.
GCD GCD
EmBm I can see how you smile at me
EmBm the way your hair shines like the sunrise
EmBmAm I can see tomorrow looking through your eyes
EmBmEmBm Just a moment here with you is like a weekend by the seaside
EmBmAm Such a world of mystery hiding in your eyes
GEmD All of my life I 've been looking for a girl like you GEm So many times I thought I fell in love DG but I never met a girl like you
GC Looking, I've been looking so long, GC Looking, I've been looking so long
GCD Looking, I've been looking so long for a girl like you repeat 4 times

Hi Will.

Lots of energy, lots of drive and lots of interesting things coming and going in the arrangement, all of which keeps it interesting right to the very end.

A great track with particularly powerful drums - liked that a lot.

Yes, this may be your definitive version.

ROG.

The Kinks, that's interesting. I always thought of this as a Four Seasons song

The BB banjo is a great underused instrument, I also like the mandolin, adds that Cure vibe to a song

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."
