MIDSUMMER'S NIGHT

Seated in a fairy circle,
In the trees a velvet clearing,
Fire in the middle,
In the woods just out of hearing,
Doves are calling,
Night is falling.
As I experience the MIDSUMMER'S NIGHT.

Breathe the smoke,
It makes you wise,
Read the patterns
In the skies,
Taste the nectar, smell the flowers,
In the shadows are the powers.
As I experience the MIDSUMMER'S NIGHT

For a while, In denial,
This can't be just what it seems.
When the flames call out our names,
Hold me tightly, floating up in dreams.

Queen of Fairies entertains us,
Seated here among the Seven,
Satyr blows a tune of sorrow,
I thought this would be like heaven.
Too much smoke,
Start to choke.
As I experience the MIDSUMMER'S NIGHT.

For a while, In denial,
This can't be at all just what it seems.
When the flames call out our names,
Hold me tightly, floating up in dreams.

The Fairy Queen has run away,
The Satyr packed away his flute,
The Seven look as one down on me,
Faces ashen, standing mute,
Fireflies,
I close my eyes.
As I experience the MIDSUMMER'S NIGHT.

Great song. Interesting melody, and intriguing lyrics.

This might have come from early Beatles even.

Very well done, and enjoyable throughout. Presumably mixed separately in a DAW (given the number of instruments)?

Yes, I export all of the tracks from RealBand into SONAR and then whittle away. I help the vocals (they need it a lot!) with Melodyne and run them through whatever Izotope Nectar preset suits my fancy that particular day.

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.

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."
