Take your time
Soundcloud

A little safety song I wrote and did my best to sing.
Band in a Box was used to do the chord progression and instruments with two live guitars in the mix.


Thanks for listening


When you are in doubt
Dont do the round about
Dont be a fool
Follow the life saving rule
It sure is cool

For your sake and mine
Take some extra time
Do your risk assessment
One mooooore time

Before you start a drive
Inspect and check your ride
Check up n buckle up
Follow the life saving rule
It sure is cool

For your sake and mine
Take some extra time
Do your risk assessment
One mooooore time

When working at height
Are you doing it right
Dont behave like a fool
Secure that at risk tool
It sure is cool

For your sake and mine
Take some extra time
Do your risk assessment
One mooooore time

Verse interlude

For your sake and mine
Take some extra time
Do your risk assessment
One mooooore time

Dont be a sad statistic
Keep it simple and basic
The life saving rules
Are made for me and you

For your sake and mine
Take some extra time
Do your risk assessment
One mooooore time

Nice work on this! I actually thought your vocals went well with these backing tracks. It almost a rustic feel to it, kind of like you'd fine in the vocal delivery you'd find in a band like Joy Division or Bauhaus. Not sure if that's what you're going for but it fits well in my opinion. Some really good progressions here and the groove is awesome too.

Well done - thanks for sharing smile


Cheers,

I have to say I don't think I have ever heard a "safety song" before. It is musically well done....kind of a dark 80's feel! Vocal and arrangement are very good! Enjoyed, and I will drive carefully! Take care. Greg

Cool idea for a song and, I think, a new use for BIAB--safety songs. I like the tracks you used for this: They add interest but don't overpower the melody.

Thank You Scott

After I upgraded to the 2019 BIAB, the opportunity horizon has moved beyond my limited vision and needs more exploring. I will be posting another song soon. Different style and feel.

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."
