Hi All,

Here's something new. This is called Hej Då Stockholm.

I went to see you in the midnight sun
Arlanda touch down like I'm on the run
Will I find you by the station
Like some cosmic amalgamation

I know the night tries to get the best of me
New York City was not my destiny
Will you meet me in the morning
You don't need to give a warning

Cause I am gone
I am gone
I keep finding ghosts hej då Stockholm
Yeah I'm going home

I hear Berlin Bowie on the radio
Station to Station seemed so long ago
Will you listen to your favorites
This song is brief so we should savor it

Cause I am gone
I am gone
I keep finding ghosts hej då Stockholm
Yeah I'm going home

Cause I am gone
I am gone
I keep finding ghosts hej då Stockholm
Yeah I'm going home

Really nice production - good set of lyrics (looked up the translation of the title).
Liked the use of rhythm guitars in the breaks and an excellent vocal that fit the song like a glove.

I agree with Peter on all his points, especially the rhythm guitars.

And like Peter, I hit Google Translate as soon as the song was over.

When you got to the line Will you listen to your favorites I was wondering how the heck you would rhyme that. laugh

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

Really good, Bob!

Some great lines, I love

"Will I find you by the station

I agree about the guitars, great choice there.

And then the icing on the cake is that cool, signature vocal sound that you have.

Enjoyed the listen!

Bob, You made some great choices here. The fade was perfect for the ending, some excellent rhymes, the perfect real tracks. The band sounds great. Your vocal is filled with passion. The lyrics tell the story like only you can tell. I am a fan! Tom

Wow - this is unreal! I really, really loved the guitar rhythms here. Very inviting lyrics and vocal delivery as well. Someone else mentioned a David Bowie comparison, and I absolutely understand where they are coming from. I love how it lights up at the chorus too.

Great job, and thanks for sharing smile

Nice folk rock song, I like especially the chorus. Nice namedropping also, been in Stockholm and at Arlanda couple of times, so this feel almost like a homely Nordic country song smile

Hi Rsdean, thank you for sharing this with us. The piano is a great touch in this! Really dig the vibe on this one. Good use of reverb on the vocals too. Great work! smile

Tom often says exactly what I intended to say. So just re-read that...

Great sound on this. Good mix.

I, too, am a fan

Bob,
I always find myself listening for the cultural, time & place references in your lyrics - there are some telling ones here. Such a cool part of your writing.
And this is catchy, with a nice simple arrangement that highlights those rhythm guitars.
Once again you`ve demonstrated there`s no one better at using BiaB to make their own style.

Bob, I enjoyed this. You have a knack for perfectly mixing RTs that match your vocals. Super groove also!


Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up.
Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

Hello, Bob

Yes, as Rob Said, John Lennon meets David Bowie!
I feel John more in this tune.
The melody is very beautiful and your vocal is so cool.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Yeah, we have to channel Tom. Exactly what he said and also what others said about the rhythm guitars. It sounds wonderful on our monitors and it was fun just to kick the chair back and let it all soak in.

Well done! (again)

Big like from me. Got a nice sound and feel going on with this one; and it’s wonderfully produced. A gritty, haunting vocal really accentuates the tune. Great job on this one.

All the best,

Lots to like about this...I really wanted to listen closely to it when I saw you posted it, and just getting to a quiet moment to do that.
Love these cross-cultural songs...one thing I really like is that when you introduce non-english words, you typically get a whole set of new, fresh rhymes and lyric dynamics that you can leverage....Well done!
And the overall feel of the track fits so well with the lyric and sentiment.
Liked it alot, or as we say in the US, "liked it alot!"

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."
