So I had to write a song for my own birthday and join the Xtra Styles Contest at the same time. Had to do it.

I called Deryk at 6 a.m. PG Time and got Xtra Styles 3. By noon I had this.

Mick and Keith and Bob dropped by to help and celebrate. We had a good time. Hope you do too.

Anywhere But Here
By David Snyder

(Here we Go Keith, you know if you’re gonna tell the truth, you got to Rock and Roll, you know you do. So Here We Go)

V1

Well I know a girl who lost her faith and she lost her mind
Cause she was watching too much t.v.
They showed her gold and they showed her silver that she would never ever have
Idolizing whores and hypocrites and thieves

CH

Let’s find a place where we can dream girl
Anywhere but here is fine with me
We’ll cross the Jersey line, head up to Canada
And drink new wine
We’ll find something, somewhere to believe

V2

Let’s find a place where our hearts feel more at home, girl
Where everybody's not telling lies
Anywhere but here is fine with me girl
I’m sick of all these Russian spies

CH

Let’s find a place where we can dream girl
Anywhere but here is fine with me
We’ll cross the Jersey line, head up to Canada
And drink new wine
We’ll find something, somewhere to believe

Bridge

Well I’m sick of fighting for
Some basic dignity
And I’m tired of running scared
And I’m tired of asking for basic honesty
If we can reach some other shore, girl
Then you know I’ll take you there with me

V3

Well I know a place
I used to call my home
I know a place where I used to wave the flag
Until I saw the rules had changed
And the place was all in flames
And the King, well he was all dressed up in Drag

CH x 2

Happy birthday, David! Hope you have a good one. What a cool way to celebrate your birthday — dig the tune a lot. I love the nod to Canada, but maybe that's just because I'm Canadian.

Can't wait for the next one!


Cheers,
Ember

David, Happy Birthday!

Seems like we are the ones getting the gift - this incredible song to hear!

Might be your all-time-best. An artist finding his true muse.

This is both an excellent Rock write AND a well-penned political statement in song. Not a hit-ya-over-the-head kind like so many tend towards, but a "just right" here's-my-take-on-this.

The BAND is perfect - supportive, never asking for the stage. Excellent mix.

Your vocals are perfect for this, too...

Superb, dude.

Hey Floyd,

Thanks my brother!! Seems like I already replied, but maybe not--kinda getting lost here on the forum, losing track man.

Anyway, I thought I said if I listened to you long enough they would let me on the front porch after a while.

That may have been on another song, but I guess it still applies!

Really glad you liked it!

Hey David,

I'm late to the party but Happy Birthday! We've both already had 70 of those suckers!!!

Cool song that rocks out ... ya give those new styles a good reason to be. Suits your voice and and the band rocks on. Again, cool song ... loved it!

I didn't know they were having a contest for the new styles - ordered them about a week ago. But, I've bgeen off the bards for almost a week, so missed out on a lot. Glad I didn't miss this one.

Rock on and party hearty!

Alan & Di

"Well I’m sick of fighting for
Some basic dignity
And I’m tired of running scared
And I’m tired of asking for basic honesty
If we can reach some other shore, girl
Then you know I’ll take you there with me"

Ain't it the truth. One just gets sick of it all and then those other shores start to look pretty damn good.

We're down with floyd in that this might be your best - of many great tunes.

We just listened for the third time through and read the lyric for the fourth time. Hope SoundCloud survives cause we just added this to our playlist smile

Hey David. Think you perforated my ear drums. Was an enjoyable way to have them perforated.
Nice work sir.
Say hi to Bob for me.

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."
