Greg, I think this is one of if not your best song yet! Everything about this one is top notch. What a beautiful vocal you have here. The lyrics are outstanding also as are the backing tracks.

This is a keeper.

This is easily one of the top rock ballads that has been posted on the forum.

It's lush and full sounding yet, somewhat counterintuitively, it still maintains an airy feel.

The vocals are outstanding and along with the "band" so well support the well written lyric.

Kudos and we much enjoyed the spins!

Thanks so much J and B! High praise from you is very much valued. You guys continue to do great stuff!! Take care. Greg

Thanks so much Ember!! I love hearing from the PG music people. Thanks for listening and commenting. Take care. Greg

I really admire your productions and arrangements so much.

Could you supply the tracks etc?

Thanks David. I really appreciate your very kind words! You have been putting out a huge volume of top shelf material!! The RTs are 2448 (Brent Mason Dreamy-I thought about listing him as a collaborator since that track really captured the vibe for the song), 1814 (Celtic Air-finger picking), and 405 (Acoustic strumming). I just put a little groove together with EasyDrummer Latin percussion set and let it run throughout (a la Don Henley in end of the Innocence), and the Fretless bass is from Sampletank 3. Thanks again! Take care. Greg

Like Josie, I was thinking Brian Wilson - not just the harmonies, but also the production.

There has to be a movie somewhere that needs this song.

Cheers, ROG.


Thanks so much ROG for those extremely kind words! I'd love to get a song in a movie... my dream. Always love to hear your stuff... such high level production! Take care. Greg

This is really beautiful song, catching perfectly the atmosphere of deep blue waters. All instruments blend superbly together to give feelings of waves, without using sound effects smile Vocals, including the backing voices sound like a wind on the seashore, fantastic! And lyrics are very uplifting. I can really sink into this relaxing landscape.

Dang, I thought I'd already posted a rave review about this song.

I must have drifted off to some happy place while listening and dreamed that.

Soooooo nice. laugh

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

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."
