Brother, Pop and Me

Saturday mornings we'd quietly slip out
On one of our weekend treks;
The 3 of us fishing or just on a bike ride
Or walking our old dog Rex ;
Those were the best times, the absolute best times--
Happy and playfully free;
He gave up his 'me-time';
Instead it was 'we-time' for
BROTHER, POP & ME. 

Off in the car we would go for soccer,
Pop and his two li'l guys;
Mother would watch from her front porch rocker
Waving a fond goodbye;
Now I believe what her smile was saying:
"This scene is heaven for me!".
So as she was beaming
The dream she was dreaming was
BROTHER, POP & ME.

Well,  the years have trundled by  
And they've all passed.
Still the memories of those days 
Forever last.
Life was fine, her three guys
Dad put a shine in Mother's eyes.

Now as I sit in my front porch rocker
Enjoying my golden years,
Waving good-bye to my two young grandsons
Off to their new careers;
They've had the best times, the absolute best times;
Their dads learned it all from me;
'Cause that's what I passed down,
Just what was passed down from   
BROTHER, POP & ME.

Really fun tune, and well told story!! This is bouncy, and so melodic! What kind of signal path did you use on the vocal processing? It may be a bit overdone but it is a cool effect. Enjoyed this great tune! Take care. Greg

Thanks all for the kind comments..I was thinking about my 3-year old grandson and how he would someday see his grandsons--I think that makes it a 5-generation song.

I used Nectar Elements on the primary vocal track, then duplicated that track with a 3-tick delay.

This is a really sweet song. It evokes so many fond images.

I also find the melody quite engaging in its movement and rhythm. Ill bet it was hard to sing but you carried it off beautifully.

Wow - what a tune! I absolutely *loved* your delivery on this one. You can tell it takes inspiration from 40's era crooners, but this tune has a certain modernity to it as well. I love the groove, and the vocal performance is flawless.

Great work, and thanks so much for sharing smile


Cheers,

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.
