The name of the song came about by accident. I started this song back in mid March and it has taken this long to finish it. After I got the chord structure and tempo down to a bit of searching to find a style that seemed to make sense. Well I had to save it and could not come up with a name I saved it as unknown. Coming up with a melody was very difficult. Nothing seemed to work. After six weeks this was the result. Was it Van Gogh who cut off an ear trying to find inspiration lol. Hope you like it.

Scott,

I love the fragility of this song. Very beautiful and moving...

Are you playing the Gretsch for this piece? Great tone.

Bob

I used to do a lot of instrumentals back in the day, and coming up with a good melody was almost always a struggle, so I understand your pain!

You pulled it off though, sounds good, and nice tone too.

Track sounds good too, Oohs-Aahs worked well I thought.

Very nice, Scott, I always enjoy hearing your work.

Scott, I can see this as a background piece for TV or a movie. Nice backing and the oohs ahhs really add a nice texture. Great little melody, perfect for the song. Good job, Tom

Very mysterious and delicate. Your struggles have been rewarded with a fine melody.I agree with Tom on the cinematic qualities.
Well done!

Thank Bob Glad you liked the song. Yes I am playing my Gretsch 6128 on this on through a Garnet Amp. I used Garnet Amps when I was a kid. They were made in Winnepeg Canada in the late 60's early 70's

Wow thanks Tom. I have submitted a couple of instrumentals and Robert and I have submitted a couple of our songs to Soundcloud with no luck. Mind you with the thousands of people submitting to Songtradr the songs would have to be pretty special to get notices. Fun dreaming tho...

Thanks for checking out the song. Glad you like the tone. My Gretsch is my only Guitar that has the bell like tone on the high notes. Is so different from the Fenders and Gibsons..

Scott - a lovely use of a wonderful guitar & amp combo.
Lots of space in the arrangement for the guitar melody.
Would you explain you amp/mic set up please?


Cheers

We agree with those who mentioned the cinematic qualities. It has a flow that would seem to work well for a lof of film or tv as it brings up lots of different images to us.

Beyond all that it's simply a nice, well performed and thoroughly pleasing production.

Glad you didn't abandon it!

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."
