Follow The Money

A song that always seems topical wherever (and whenever) you live.

Lyrics - Leon

I played some guitar solos.

Follow The Money

(She said) follow the money
See where it leads
Follow the money
See where it leads
It won’t take you to
A happy place
Much more likely to
Lead you to disgrace
Follow the money
Follow the smell
Promise you Heaven
But you wind up in Hell
Promise you roses
But you end up with weeds
Follow the money
See where it leads
Follow
Follow
The money

Follow the money
You can see where it lives
See what it takes away
And see what it gives
Step around the bodies
It helps to close your eyes
It’s only natural
Everybody dies
Follow the money
It’s easy to trace
Goes where it’s cherished
Keeps the others in their place
Money has no conscience
Money has no soul
Likes to pretend that it is
Under your control
Follow
Follow
The money

Follow the money
See where it goes
Follow the money
Follow your nose
Money likes the backrooms
It operates at night
Money doesn’t like to be
Exposed to the light
Follow the money
Follow the trail
It’ll wash away your sins
It’ll go your bail
Money buys the weapons
Money does the deals
Money never stops to think
Money doesn’t feel
Follow
Follow
The money

Very cool song. Loved the lyrics. Janice's vocals and harmonies were just excellent. Some awesome guitar Peter. Fit the song so well. Really cool backbeat to this song..

Man, what an intro! Too cool for words.

Great vocals as per usual, that tone!

Nice guitar work, Peter, those volume swells are the cats meow. Modulation at the end was fun too.

Good one guys and gal, enjoyed the listen!

Peter / Leon / Janice,

Great song! I love the arrangement on this. Instrumentation and mix is really outstanding - some great guitar work.

As always, the vocal by Janice is flawless and on point. Killer intro...

Really nice job here! Janice's vocals here are on point, and I love the groove on this one. It reminds me of certain tunes by Feist, if you are familiar with her (not sure how popular she is outside of Canada). Really catchy, and easy on the ears.

Great work, and thanks for sharing smile

Peter,Leon,J&B,
Yes, love that intro- Janice sounds like she enjoyed this ( interesting to hear how well done the doubled vocal is too).
Leon contributes some of the smartest lyrics on this forum and this is another excellent write.
Guitar playing is also right up there.
Take it to the bank!

jeez what a song ,geez what a singer ,But who mixed it .

There is a piano doing its stuff for the singer to get a flavoring from, yet to us listeners its too low.


Guitar stunning though I felt the bass and drums were low as well.

Don't attack guys I'm critiquing this on your level of production ,performance and past history.

I love the guitar solo work, love the vocal, the lyrics and rhyming scheme very clever and kept to the message. Nice little modulation towards the end to start to take a song out. Great collaboration!

Peter, Janice and Leon,

However I look at it, this is really a fantastic collaboration. You've all intertwined your efforts to create something that is enjoyable, so very easy to listen to, arranged with flair and produced with a super quality.

The vocals are awesome and the guitar work is excellent.

All the best,
Noel

Exceptional.

An excellent write (so...why do we never hear from Leon? He should be a part of the conversation...).

Janice simply NEVER misses.

Peter, your guitar work in this is SWEEEET!

The whole vibe of the music is superb. I agree with an earlier comment that the piano is mixed too low (the piano is a percussive instrument and should have that "presence"). That is a small thing, though... This is a terrific piece of music.

Thanks floyd appreciate the comments.
I continue to work on Leon perhaps one day(he keeps threatening to retire and may have some time on his hands if he did).
It's hard to make a bad song with Janice singing.

Hehe. smile Talk about understating your contribution.

The unprepared modulation hits my by surprise each time I hear this. Cool!

Yes, love that intro- Janice sounds like she enjoyed this ( interesting to hear how well done the doubled vocal is too).
Leon contributes some of the smartest lyrics on this forum and this is another excellent write.
Guitar playing is also right up there.
Take it to the bank!

There is a piano doing its stuff for the singer to get a flavoring from, yet to us listeners its too low.


Guitar stunning though I felt the bass and drums were low as well.

Don't attack guys I'm critiquing this on your level of production ,performance and past history.


Thanks y’all. When Peter and Leon invite me in I always know it’s going to be fun!

I love the guitar solo work, love the vocal, the lyrics and rhyming scheme very clever and kept to the message. Nice little modulation towards the end to start to take a song out. Great collaboration!


Thanks for mentioning all of that. Peter and Leon made it easy for me!

Great intro, loved it and some very tasty guitar work here.


Thanks!

Exceptional.

An excellent write (so...why do we never hear from Leon? He should be a part of the conversation...).

Janice simply NEVER misses.

Peter, your guitar work in this is SWEEEET!

The whole vibe of the music is superb. I agree with an earlier comment that the piano is mixed too low (the piano is a percussive instrument and should have that "presence"). That is a small thing, though... This is a terrific piece of music.

Thank you so much floyd. I couldn’t agree more that Leon needs to join the party!

Super good stuff! Janice, Peter, Leon: a big tip of the hat to all of you. Uh, Bud too for the mixing stuff. Janice's voice is so danged good for just about anything you can throw at her - but these bluesy things are where she shines brightest. Great lyric by Leon, some cool but hot licks by peter and the Jancie & Bud input is always stellar. By the way - I liked it!

And I love key modulations - nice touch! Best to all of you and congrats on a great production!

Great job on this one, I love the swing feel and the writing on this. As usual, Janice did a wonderful job on vocals. I have a thing for swing blues, and this is the real thing. I also agree totally with the sentiment. All in all, a perfect package.

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!

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."
