Blow Me In The Wind I made this song a year ago for a hippie song contest on a local forum, from the title of the song you can guess where my first inspiration came from  I hope I'm not crossing any lines of decency with this one, hopefully for a non-native English tongue-in-cheek songwriter this can be forgiven  If not, I apologize. Some references to The Beatles and S & D & RR, but mainly it's about nature conservation, believe or not  To complete my vision, I hope one day I'll find a true Bob Dylan impersonator to sing this. RealTracks: Acoustic Bass #1162 Accordion #1757 Electric guitar #2629 (Solo) Acoustic guitar #1600 Acoustic guitar #2914 (Pick) Cello #1856 String Quartet #2334 Synth Flutes #2364 +acoustic piano ending Loop Tabla_ban120 Real Drums: Tambourine MIDISUNSETS.STY: Warm Pad (Vocalise), Sitar (SampleTank 3) TABLA_1.STY: Sitar (GPO5), Drums Vocals: Janne S + vocaloid + BIAB harmony Mixed in Adobe Audition 2018 Lyrics: Hold my stem and gently squeeze roll your tongue and be a breeze the world should think like fertile bees work for honey, suck to please. Like the down of dandelions blow me, blow me in the wind fly my fluff upon your mountains blow me, blow me in the wind spread my seeds in your valley blow me in the wind. The lips of bliss let nectar pour make sweet love and never war preserve these leas and save the Earth puff the beauty of rebirth. Like the down... Like the down... ----------- Janne

Hi Janne,
I really like this! I enjoy those times you sing your own lyrics. This is classic Folk-Pop. I love the percussions that come in around the 1:45 mark. Nice chord arrangement. This is a really good song, Janne - I enjoyed it very much!

Janne,
"the world should think like fertile bees
work for honey, suck to please."
Offended? No,this song gave me chuckles...especially those lines and, yes I can see how you could pitch it as an environmental message.
Its really well arranged - you always combine the RT`s in interesting and tasteful ways. The Strawberry Fields vibe at the ens is very well done, and its also a good clear vocal.
I wish we had hippie song contests!
Robert

I take it that English isn't your native language.
I laughed for quite a while just at the title.... then I read the lyrics and laughed even more.
I'm assuming you are not referring to any sort of carnal act, but maybe you are....either way.... but hey.... it's still funny.
The song is interesting. I heard some Beatles kind of stuff in there too.
You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

Hahahahahahahaha! So many fertility references in one song mister "not a native English speaker." Subtle it's not.  Interesting dissonances with the sitar and Mellotron-ish flutes. Fun listen.

Robert Thanks Robert for your kind words Nice to hear you were not offended Yep, number of bees is in rapid decline so some other species has to take care of the pollination, maybe that's the environmental message Janne

Hello, Janne
Very cool old hippy song!
Sitar, Tabla and Mellotron flute give the Beatles' feel to this tune really well.
I had a slightly different feeling in it as your work.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.
Shigeki Adachi

Hi Janne,
It's great to hear you sing again. Sounds to me like you had a bit of fun putting this one together and playing around with the English language.
It's a terrific arrangement and while you've captured a folk sound that's reminiscent of an earlier time in music it also has a freshness about it.
I enjoyed listening.
All the best,
Noel

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."
