Hi Robert, I really enjoyed the overall tone of this. The arrangement is a pleasure to listen to and the mix sounds well polished too. Quite enjoyed those guitar licks too. Thoroughly enjoyed the flute pads to harmonize everything and very captivating lyrics. Well done!


Cheers,

Hello, Robert

Very nice folk song filled with your characteristics.
Very fork song-like chords are used, but its progression is not easy.
Both the melody and the chord progression have been devised so much that it is an original thing other people cannot easily duplicate.
If my English is much better I can understand the goodness of the lyrics more deeply.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

Shigeki,

If only Google translate worked better on lyrics and poetry -thanks for listening despite the language difference.
I appreciate your comments on the melody... this one began with something vaguely celtic and then changed as I played with the progression.
Maybe its just one of my quirks to prefer unusual melodies!

Robert

Really cool and interesting write!! The band is really cool....love the fretless and the Strawberry fields flutes. Vocal processing is perfect for the song. Another excellent effort Robert!! Take care. Greg

I'm late so everything that I wanted to say already has been said. All I can add is I think this is your best to date.


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.

Very tight lyrics. Wonderful!

And I'm a big fan of your usual unusual chord progressions and melodies add your Beatle-esque band (the electro-flute was inspired)


and you've got a brilliant song!

much enjoyed!

Robert, I really like the lyrical stream of consciousness style in your lyrics on this one. Well one. I really wish we had some more flutes to choose from. A little Jethro Tull maybe.

Wow - what a tune! I really loved the progressions here, and your vocal delivery is haunting and memorable. It sounds wonderfully produced as well, and the hook is just the right level of catchy. It just might be my favourite I've heard from you yet.

Keep up the great work - thanks for sharing smile

I agree about those flute RT`s... not sure why there`s so little other than jazz.
Thanks for your listen and comments

Thank you, Deryk for your very kind review.
The chord progression seems to catch some off guard, but I like
that!

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!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

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."
