Gold On Blue

Autumn trees
Gold on blue
Winter’s coming
Missing you
Missing you
Is my default
Even miss
All the times we fought
All the hateful things we said
All the bitter tears we shed

You and me
Day and night
Hot and cold
Wrong and right
All the secrets
We exchanged
Complicated games
We played
All the tender things we said
Inhibitions that we shed

Smiles are fixed
Hearts are broken
Can’t take back
The words you’ve spoken
Skin gets thinner
Bones get weaker
Nights get longer
Thoughts get bleaker
All the things I thought I knew
Not a single one of them was true

Autumn trees
Gold on blue
Winter’s coming
Missing you
Missing you
Is my default
Even miss
All the times we fought
All the hateful things we said
All the bitter tears we shed
All the tears we shed

Peter & Leon,

This is really nice. Excellent write. Some really nice melody moves.

Beautiful production. Nice lead... Good mix.

Leon's vocal is Exceptional. Warm, smooth, "comfortable" - super.


Those drums don't sound like the NashvilleEven8. Are they? (They sound good).

This is a very good listen. Really enjoyed it.

Beautiful song!

Sensitive lyrics and good vocals.

Love the melodic, tasteful guitar work, and great tone too! Mix also sounds great through the phones.

Nice one Peter and Leon, enjoyed the listen!

Peter and Leon, Good feel on this one. Nice lyrics and vocal. Love the complimenting guitar work. The sliding chords going into the solo were especially nice. Great job guys, Tom

Nice lyrics - right to the point, just like the lead guitar. Lovely major 7th sound. Enjoyable listen.

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

Wow - this is stunning smile Very, very pretty sounding. Also, you deserve kudos for the production on this. It sounds super professional, so much so that I'd even go so far as to say this is better than some professional recordings I've heard. It is so lush and bright. I wouldn't bat an eyelash if I heard this on the radio.

Very well done - thanks so much for sharing!


Cheers,
Deryk

Thanks floyd for those very nice words. The Drums - to be honest I'm not completely sure - the original version (recorded a while ago) was definitely the Nashville drums but the song went through a few changes and I can see I did alter the drums once but didn't change the BIAB file.

Peter

Peter & Leon,
I enjoyed the wise reflection in the lyrics, especially these:

Skin gets thinner
Bones get weaker
Nights get longer
Thoughts get bleaker
All the things I thought I knew
Not a single one of them was true

ouch- that hits home!
Leon`s vocal conveys the mood with warmth so the feeling is sad without being morbid.
The guitar break is sublime!
Very good work.

Robert

Hello, Peter & Leon

It will be autumn and winter from now on in Australia.
A little lonely atmosphere is very well expressed.
Very nice lead guitar!
Vocals, too!
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

Leon's vocal qualities remind me of Rod McKuen.
A lovely setting for the narrative.
The lead lifts the song out of the box.


Cheers

Very beautiful melody with nice chording. I like the melancholy lyrics and how the mood is captured in the piano and the lead guitar.

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.

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.

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."
