Check out the song by Jeff Bates called "Watching His Son Going Down"... Another sad song.. If you like Conway Twitty type vocals...check out the song "Somebody's Falling" Sung by Sarah Darling and Jeff Bates.
I like this a lot. Was that real fiddle? It sounds almost like a guitar with an ebow. A lot of emotion in the vocals as well.
I smashed the hell out of my car today. When the cops came I told him "Officer, that guy was BOTH texting and drinking a beer." The cop said "Sir, he has every right to do that. I mean, it's HIS living room..."

Eddie,
That is a guitar you are hearing. I ran it through an auto swell pedal that basically detects pick attacks and replaces them with a smooth volume swell. Makes it sound like a bowed instrument. Some guys can do it with a pinky on the volume knob, but I’m not that coordinated.
Re the vocal: She wrote the lyrics after losing a best friend to cancer, so yeah, she was feeling it when she did the recording.
Thanks for the listen and comment, I haven’t listened to yours yet but will do so soon.

A remix? It sounds brilliant to me... and this is a cool thread. Going out to pick up some kleenex and settle in to listen to the other songs here. My two-hankie song; save one for Janice signing off with feeling...

I've listened to most of the songs in this thread. This one gets to me! I remember it from when you first posted it. Hard not to like a brilliant write with Janice on vocals!
Thanks Dave, I listened to most of the postings here too- as well as yours, Josie`s Missing Me, & Floyd`s Feeling Nothing At All got to me... and David`s Killing Time turned my insides to jello!
There's some true gems throughout this thread. Thanks for sharing guys Now we need another thread called "Uplifting Song Challenge" or something to balance it out!

Video: Enhanced Melodists in Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows®!
We've enhanced the Melodists feature included in Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows!
Access the Melodist feature by pressing F7 in the program to open the new MultiPicker Library and locate the [Melodist] tab.
You can now generate a melody on any track in the program - very handy! Plus, you select how much of the melody you want generated - specify a range, or apply it to the whole track.
This new panel offers built-in specific support for the Reaper® DAW API allowing direct transfer of Band-in-a-Box® files to/from Reaper® tracks!
When you run the Plugin from Reaper®, there is a panel to set the following options:
-BB Track(s) to send: This allows you to select the Plugin tracks that will be sent Reaper.
-Destination Reaper Track: This lets you select the destination Reaper track to receive media content from the Plugin.
-At Bar: You can select a bar in Reaper where the Plugin tracks should be placed.
-Start Below Selected Track: This allows you to place the Plugin tracks below the destination Reaper track.
-Overwrite Reaper Track: You can overwrite previous content on the destination Reaper track.
-Move to Project Folder: With this option, you can move the Plugin tracks to the Reaper project folder.
-Send Reaper Instructions Enable this option to send the Reaper Instructions instead of rendering audio tracks, which is faster.
-Render Audio & Instructions: Enable this option to generate audio files and the Reaper instructions.
-Send Tracks After Generating: This allows the Plugin to automatically send tracks to Reaper after generating.
-Send Audio for MIDI Track: Enable this option to send rendered audio for MIDI tracks.
-Send RealCharts with Audio: If this option is enabled, Enable this option to send RealCharts with audio.
