Gonna Post this while I can. I'll be over tonight to catch up on listens as much as possible. Di's been at the doctor or hospital more than at home the past 10 days or so, So I've been pretty much absent lately. I got up about 3:30 this morning and put this together. About 5 hours total invested in this. Di said she thought this is something Bob Seger might have done. That's cool! Thanks in advance to all who drop in for a listen.

David, BMI (v1) The sky gets gloomy, as the clouds roll in That’s when I know, you’re back in town in again The thunder rattles, and the leaves begin to shake The wind starts swirling, and frost begins to form Then lightning crackles, you’re the perfect storm The ground starts trembling, just like an earthquake CHORUS And when you left, I thought that was goodbye But now I know, I told myself a lie You made me hurt, and you treated me like dirt Oh I wish I didn’t love you But baby I still do (v2) Don’t know the reason, I can’t explain Why I still love you, when you caused me all that pain God only knows, why I wish you’d never gone I hear my heart, then I listen to my head They say forget you, find another love instead But I just can’t find a way, a way for moving on CHORUS And when you left, I thought that was goodbye But now I know, I told myself a lie You made me hurt, and you treated me like dirt Oh I wish I didn’t love you But baby I still do INSTRUMENTAL VERSE CHORUS And when you left, I thought that was goodbye But now I know, I told myself a lie You made me hurt, and you treated me like dirt Oh I wish I didn’t love you But baby I still do TAG Baby I still do

Alan, it is amazing what can happen in 5 hours when this program is in the hands of a gifted songwriter and musician. I love the slide guitar and I'm always up for a steel solo. Good write as well as your usual high quality production. Tell Di I hope she feels better, Tom

Good write as well as your usual high quality production. Tell Di I hope she feels better, Tom Hi Tom, You are much too kind ... thank you very much. I'm pretty happy with it as is. If I were to change anything, I would probably bring the drums slightly more forward in the mix. It's a touch raw, but I'm okay with that. Am glad you enjoyed it! Thanks again, Alan PS: I'll pass your kind words on to Di. She'll appreciate them as I do. She's really struggling right now.

Alan, Your vocals on this are a standout - a little edgier than I`ve heard from you before, and with a nice Dylanesque attitude. Its a good rocking tune as well - amazing that you got really close to a final mix in just 5 hours. My best wishes to you and Di,
Robert

Robert Robert, Thanks so much! I appreciate all that. As far as the vocal, I don't have a real good singing voice, so I decided to use a different approach on this ... add a little grit to it. Good to hear it makes a difference! Thanks for your kind wishes for Di. She's really struggling with her health issues. Wishing you the very best, Alan & Di

Nice song. It does have a bit of a Bob Seager vibe to it. The instrumental sounds great and i like the raspy tone of you voice. Nice steel guitar solo too.

Alan,
Wow! Five hours! That's incredible. In five hours, I'd be lucky to have put together the first draft of lyrics. I'm very impressed.
What I also find incredibly impressive is that, not so long ago, you said that you use your backings exactly as they come from BIAB, without any tailoring them. Is that true of this backing too? It truly sounds excellent.
Everything you've done here from writing, through to performing and producing is top notch and each component sits perfectly comfortably with all other components. I found this a most enjoyable listen.
I'm sorry to hear that Di's journey continues to be challenging. Please let her know that I'm channelling heaps of southern hemisphere healing thoughts her way.
All the very best of everything to you both, Noel

All the very best of everything to you both, Noel Hi Noel, Thanks so much. I really appreciate all those very kind words. It took me about 45 minutes to write the lyric. I only changed two lines after I scribbled the initial lyric. I think the fact I also write novels gives me a small advantage with lyric writing. One day I realized that the lyric to many songs, particularly country and folk, is a novel in 100 words or less. I just learned to change 85 words into 85,000 words! I tried three different band styles and settled on the one you hear. That took about twenty minutes. Then I had to decide on a melody and what instruments to use. the chord progression came pretty easy - about half an hour of chord inputting and making minor adjustments to them. I tinkered with the specific instruments I wanted for about an hour and a half. Then I listen to the music I'd created, over and over for about an hour in order to get a feel for it. I then put the vocal to it. I recorded the vocal three times and this is the one I chose (my second attempt). I did a final mix in audacity. And you are correct - what you hear is directly off the BIAB chord input page. I "massage" the instruments there until I'm happy. Actually, that's the most time-consuming element of the project. I spent an hour doing just that. The only disappointment I have doing that way is the limited number of tracks available to me. But I overcome that by making a second recording with the some of the backing tracks deleted and then replaced by the additional instruments I want. I then load both sets of tracks into Audacity and line then up perfectly. When I play them as such, I get the full sound I want and, in my opinion, it sounds about as good as I can do with a formal DAW. Everything you hear is created, massaged and arranged BIAB and then transferred to Audacity. Again, I did all that in about 5 hours. I know it sounds like a lot of work but it is a smooth process for me. I probably told you more than you would care to know, but that's my process. And thank you for the kind wishes for Di. She's really struggling right now. I'll be sure to pass them on to her. We both appreciate your kindness. Wishing you well, Alan & Di

I'm delighted you caught that "edginess' in my voice. that was intentional as I don't naturally have a raspy voice - I have to induce it as I sing. Everyone seems to like it so maybe I'll keep working with it and see what i can do. Thanks again! Alan

Good morning, David! Tis always a treat to hear from you. I anticipate your reviews. Glad you liked it - thanks for letting me know. Someone else, not a member here, told me they thought it sounded like Mel McDaniel trying to do a Bob Seger imitation. I can live with that! I don't know if you know Mel McDaniel or not but he's a real nice guy. Kind of quiet but polite and respectful. Wishing you a great Sunday. Also, Thanks for the kind wishes for Di. We appreciate that so much! Alan & Di

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."
