Hi All, Here's something new - this is called Light Years. All the graves are in the backyard And people move on there’s no doubt Now I see the changing of the guard Separate pathways a different route No need to wave flags in the air The stars won’t see them anyway I sometimes just look up and stare Still the same sky different day And it's full speed into the light years Shift through all the tired dreams There’s a new moon on the mountain If I can fly this old machine Take a bus to New York City And see your face in every mile This old Trailways is a pity It can run but it can’t fly And it's full speed into the light years Shift through all the tired dreams There’s a new moon on the mountain If I can fly this old machine All BIAB Tracks: 1036: Bass, Electric, NorthernRockBallad Ev 065 1596: Guitar, Acoustic, Strumming Pop16ths Ev 065 1600: Guitar, Acoustic, High-Strung Rhythm Pop16ths Ev 065 1599: Guitar, Electric, Rhythm Pop16ths Ev 065 Loop: Chillout/Chillout - dimensions_145_choir RealDrums: RockNorthern a:Snare, HiHat Closed, b:Snare As always - thanks for listening!

A cool write, as always, Bob...
"Take a bus to New York City
And see your face in every mile"
Love how that says so much in such a simple statement.
Another excellent arrangement. And a solid mix.
Terrific listen.

I really, really enjoyed this song. I especially loved the lyrics. Particularly "Shift through all the tired dreams. There’s a new moon on the mountain. If I can fly this old machine". Great job!
Cheers,
Ember

Bravo, Robert Really easy on the ears, and a nice gentle listen for me. I really like the slow build throughout. Some really nice lyrics here to, and I'm fond of the chord progressions. You should be proud of this one - thanks for sharing!
Cheers,
Deryk

Well written and well delivered. And as always the band is hittin' the note.
Deryk mentioned both the build and the chord progression...yep, very effective.
floyd mention in part:
"Take a bus to New York City
And see your face in every mile
This old Trailways is a pity
It can run but it can’t fly"
As he said so much is said in those lines. The old bus, the destination, run vs fly, the face, etc. Rich and textured imagery in four lines.
Outstanding.
J&B

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!

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first?

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."
