days are gone It's fun rehashing songs, written in one's youth, with BIAB. The song itself was actually posted before but with a completely different style and feel (rock) Now we've recorded it again from scratch and turned it into a real EMO ballad. If you can't make much sense of the lyrics, well... neither can we It is however one of our vocal highlights I think. Anyway, hope you enjoy. As always comments encouraged! Rob.

Beautiful song... Beautiful voices... beautiful people.
I agree that the vocals are outstanding! The pad-like lush harmonies flowing behind Rob's melody really do a good job of creating a dreamscape mood for the song.
Two enthusiastic thumbs up! And since I happen to be barefoot at the moment... a couple of enthusiastic toes up too! ;-)

Rob & Anne-Marie, I enjoyed letting this one wash over me - phrases from the lyrics come through but the meaning comes as much from the the beautiful feeling in the vocals and mood your arrangement creates. Very, very good!

Rob, you've certainly created another masterpiece as part of your 're-hashing' experimentation.
As usual, brilliant vocals from your camp.
Every part of this is so enjoyable.

Hi Rob & Anne-Marie.
I look forward to your song posts; always something different, as you once said - re-inventing yourself.
This is fabulous.
Wonderful chord sequence and melody, with a very professional and lush backing track.
And yes, excellent vocals throughout.
Great arrangement and mix to finish it off.
Enjoyed it all.
ROG.

Hi Rob and Anne-Marie,
Such a pretty ballad. And what a fantastic vocal, Rob. This is so good. That was a wonderful listen. We loved everything about it. Oh, that pedal steel was a great choice.
In order for me (Alan) to revisit my youth, I have to find a history book. You know you're getting old when things of your younger adult years are being taught in high school history books!
Again, a truly wonderful song, arrangement, vocal and arrangement! Have a great weekend.
Alan & Di

Simply beautiful, vocals flow nicely along the piano. Other instruments fit perfectly in the mood. Backing vocals sound sometimes exactly like a synth, very interesting Janne

Hello, Rob & Anne-Marie
Yes, this tune is exactly one of your vocal highlights. Very beautiful and outstanding. As Janne said, backing vocals sound sometimes exactly like a synth, very interesting to me too. Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.

Really dig the background vocals - angelic.
The piano seems to really suit this song well.
Well done all around.

This is just outstanding! Your vocals are always so good, but this one is over the top. The arrangement is excellent, and the song is very well written. Great job!

RnAM, everything that I wanted to say has been already said. All I can add is this is an absolutely beautiful piece of music. Great vocals and backing tracks mixed to perfection.
This is a keeper.
PS - just remember this: "the older I get the better I was"

Earlier posters soaked up all the words/phrases that immediately come to mind like:
- lovely - top quality - beautiful - gorgeous - outstanding - great vocals - masterpiece - etc.
One is hard pressed to add to that. We simply want to add that this is one of the best produced songs we've heard on this forum over the past five years that we've been here.
There is so much texture but the mix never sounds dense. It takes several listens to absorb it all...and then some time to contemplate how the heck you guys do this so well.
Superb!
J&B

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."
Happy Easter! Holiday Hours...
2024 is well underway - it's already Easter Weekend!
Our Customer Service hours this weekend are:
Friday, March 29: 8-4
Saturday, March 30: 8-4
Sunday, March 31: closed
Regular hours resume Monday, April 1st - no joke!
