I wouldn't bat an eyelash if I heard this on the radio.

Very well done - thanks so much for sharing!


Thanks Deryck

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

I was going to write the same thing about those lyrics but I see Robert beat me to the punch.

I really loved that lead guitar phrasing and tone!


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.

A lovely setting for the narrative.
The lead lifts the song out of the box.

I can't add to the other comments, but enjoyed this very much. The interludes were quite nice.

Nice lyrics. And oh. I've been there. The tone and fx on the lead vocal, along with the lead guitar really set the mood very well.

If it were me would consider pulling the instrumentation down a bit ( and/or panning the instruments more) so your vocal rides more above it -- everything you chose is perfect, though. Very nice.

Every time Janices hears this I notice a tear on her face. That says it all really.

It’s melancoly, emotive, well performed and produced.

Your and Leon’s years together really shine on this with the wonderful vocal and guitar interplay.

Outstanding guys!!

Another great song by you.

This is a song we could listen to several times in a row.
In fact while I'm writing it's finished and now I listen to it again. smirk

Great work as usual.

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.

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."
