After Far too many sherbets (drinks).I thought it would be an experiment to try to write a song.
This is what came out.It was only mixed in Biab then transferred to Cubase ,where the vocals were added.
Please Please don't ask my what its about because I haven't a clue.
I sat and scribbled these words down ,didn't change anything and the recorded them.

MIDNIGHT BLUE

MIDNIGHT BLUE
EYES THAT COULD SAVE A SOUL FROM DYING
TELL ME HOW
YOUR LOVE CAN EASE THIS PAIN
YOU BRING ME WHAT
MY HEART HAS ALWAYS WANTED
MIDNIGHT BLUE
MIDNIGHT BLUE ITS YOU

WHEN ALL IS LOST
YOU FIND A WAY
WHEN HOPE IS GONE YOU BRING THE DAY
IS THERE ANYTHING ANYWAY YOU CANT DO
MY MIDNIGHT BLUE


MIDNIGHT BLUE
WHERE HAVE ALL THE ANGELS GONE
IS THERE MORE
WAITING WITH A SAVIOURS SONG
CAN I BELEIVE
TOGETHER WE ARE A MOMENT STRONG
MIDNIGHT BLUE MIDNIGHT BLUE ITS YOU


WHEN ALL IS LOST
YOU FIND A WAY
WHEN HOPE IS GONE YOU BRING THE DAY
IS THERE ANYTHING ANYWAY YOU CANT DO
MY MIDNIGHT BLUE

BRIDGE

WHEN ALL IS LOST
YOU FIND A WAY
WHEN HOPE IS GONE YOU BRING THE DAY
IS THERE ANYTHING ANYWAY YOU CANT DO
MY MIDNIGHT BLUE

Thanks for sharing, Biglad smile I really like the groove of this one. It is an excellent level of catchyness. The arrangement on this is seriously on point as well.

Great work on this!


Cheers,
Deryk

Never had a "sherbet", unless that's a generic name for a drink, in which case I've had a WHOLE LOT of them! This is really pretty!! I think it is my favorite of yours. Don't tell you doctor I said so, but keep drinking! Take care. Greg

Very nice and different.

We like the way the weariness of the lyric is balanced by the mandolin. The RT choice works very well.

Well done!

Brad, I enjoyed the vocal and melody. Good song. I believe the production would be improved with some mastering. Tom

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."
