Thanks for listening

There’s A Light
© 2017 Kenny Leverett

Long ago in this town
There were smiles and laughter
To be found

Far away now you have gone
Quiet streets seem haunted
No one’s home

There’s a light
Stays on all night
Find your way
Back to me

Long ago and by the sea
Hours spent in silence
Just you and me

There’s a light that’s in your eyes
I’d never seen
Eyes of green
That said goodbye

There’s a light
Stays on all night
Find your way
Back to me

Very nice, Kenny! I love the feel of this one, nice laid back groove. Great vocal!
Very effective bringing those strings in after the first chorus.

I like this.

The mix sounds good. I'm a big fan of vocals up front where they can be heard easily. I think you could perhaps back the vox off a dB or two and still be good. The EQ on the vox was also good. Nice and bright sounding.

good job

Boy do I ever like this tune. Reminded me of a David Gilmour vocal. Well done

Really nice tune, Kenny. I absolutely love the chorus - agreed with Scott on the Gilmour vibes!. I also really appreciate how subtle the strings are - effective choice.

Kenny,

This is by far my favorite song of yours. I just love it.

So well done. Sounds great. Haunting. Wonderful lyrics, excellent vocal, stays in your head and won't leave.

Don't know what else to say. A classic.

Kenny,

This is an excellent listen. The writing, arranging, singing and mixing all work hand-in-hand to create a top notch product. You've pulled out all stops with this one!

All the best,
Noel

Hello Kenny,

This is the first ballad Di and I have heard from you. We really enjoyed it!

Your raspy voice wraps itself around the music perfectly. Great mix (perhaps vocal just a touch too forward), good lyric and the prosody are spot on. Our favorite from you so far. best,

Alan & Di

A great opening phrase, long ago, and then far away, they really set the mood, a wonderful integration of lyrics and melodic line.

Hello, Kenny

Very nice slow ballad.
I think it is very difficult to make a good melody with only three notes.
But you've done the job.
It is very beautiful the melody with the isomorphic iteration of three notes.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best Regards.

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."
