Hello, beatmaster

Yes, this is exactly a 50's pop tune.
I think that vocal atmosphere and lead guitar well reproduced the sounds at that time.
And also Bass.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

beatmaster,

A pleasant listen. Nice simple production and a crisp clean mix.

Has a Ricky Nelson "Garden Party" feel...

I think Floyd hit the nail on the head. He usually does. Had to check my calendar - yep, 2018, not 1958. Smooth backing tracks and super vocal. Thanks for a terrific listen.

Very catchy song with good vocals and mix...to my ears this has commercial potential for a show ( HeartBeat) about the period.
Well done.

I just read a really interesting article by a Nashville producer on how to write a hit song.

He said the most important feature by far--#1--is to put the title in the chorus and use it in the chorus at least twice if not three times, and MAKE SURE the title is the last line of the chorus. He said that was the #1 trait of 95% of the songs that make it to the top of the charts.

Suggested structure?

V, CH, V, CH inst CH (no bridge unless you HAVE to), prechoruses ok 50% of the time as long as you don't repeat lines in prechoruses 1 and 2. And NO third verses. But a BIG third chorus.

SO, it is very interesting to me that this seemingly simple but catchy song reflecting the golden age of happy 50s music is actually a textbook format for what some producers who do research on these things are calling the hit song rules of June 2018.

Hmmmmmmm.

All you have to do is take this same formula, change it to a different style in BIAB, add some hip hop beats and....

Ok gotta run. smile

Good one beatmaster. You followed the "rules" on this and it really works.

It's a miniature lesson in songwriting form. Thanks. Well done.

Very warm mix on the music as well.

Laid back and enjoyable. The arrangement is so nice the guitar licks are just perfect in the break. And I loved your voice on it too. Great job!

Flashback to the 50's. I loved music from that era and you have done it justice with this song. The first person I thought of was Ricky Nelson.

This is one super song and you should do more like 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.

Thanks David

The article you refer to would love to have a read on that.

I've always kind of done it this way, I guess it is because the 50s 60s era to me are amazing.
The K.I.S.S. method was the way I was taught, Keep It Short and Simple.

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."
