Scoot & Robert,
This is a beautiful song. Such a "gentle" lyric. The stuff of lullabies..
A nice backing track. The lead/fill guitar fits so well. And an excellent tender vocal.
A good write. Well done.

Wow - you made something beautiful guys The textures of this tune are so silky and smooth. The subtle harmonies in the background pair with the quiet guitar perfectly. It has a very lullaby-esque quality to it. The slow build up wasn't expected too - when the strings started pulsing in and out I was sold. You should be really proud of this one. Thanks for sharing guys!
Cheers, Deryk

Moves along like a gentle stream.
This really showcases some of the best of you two.
Melancholy yet ultimately up lifting. There is a lot to contemplate in the lyric.
We listened twice and then read the lyric several times. "Sail of your soul unfurls," the hook and so much more work so well to tell the spiritual journey.
Superb!

Hearing Scott`s melody on his demo I was surprised how close it sounded to a lullaby I`d written long ago, and with hardly any changes it fit; nice serendipity that!

A very beautiful, soft and touching song that was sang and mixed perfectly. I really enjoyed this!
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.

Bob Thanks so much Bob. It just amazes me that I can send a track to Robert and he reaches into his archives and pulls out a lyric that just fits perfectly with the track. And what a cool vocal

A very beautiful, soft and touching song that was sang and mixed perfectly. I really enjoyed this! Thanks for the kind words Mario they are appreciated. Glad you mentioned the mix. It took quite a bit of tweaking from Robert and I as it was so different between the headphones, computer and cell phone.

Nice! I always enjoy the collaborations you two produce.
Love the subtle lead guitar in the background, just adds that little extra touch to the vocal without distracting from it. Very nice solo too! You are definitely the king of melodic playing in my book.
And Robert always writes an interesting lyric and I dig his vocal too.
Very nice guys!

This is just wonderful, gentlemen! That cello is so sweet. Robert's voice lays so softly on the fabulous tracks. Such a touching lyric and the arrangement is superb. everything about this is fragile yet so strong. Sweet guitar!!! Tip of the hat!

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."
