Can’t see the reason or the rhyme? So many friends – yet you’re lonely And search in vain for peace of mind So you lose yourself in music Or take a ‘trip’ to who-knows-where Something to give your life some meaning Or escape a world that doesn’t care The answer isn’t in the stars In bottles, pills, or shred guitars At best, they briefly mask the pain But it keeps coming, coming back again Tracking down the missing pieces Surprised, you find one in your hand Exactly what you always dreamed of But then it crumbles into sand Those things you seek were never missing But, rather, hidden in plain sight Now be amazed and be astounded Just turn around and face the Light The answer’s never far away And darkness can’t resist the day So trust the Lover of your soul And He will make you, He will make you whole My music may not set the world on fire but if it causes a glow in just one person's heart, it has all been worthwhile

The lyrics are poignant and add another layer to the beauty on this. I really enjoyed the simplistic approach to the tune as well - the simple backing track choice gave the song room to breathe, and really let the vocals and progressions stand out. Big fan of this one - thanks for sharing! Cheers, Deryk

OP Ghostgum Journeyman Joined: Apr 2019 Posts: 769 SA, Australia	Thanks, Deryk. I just love the sounds that the BIAB musicians produce. Their riffs and well thought out musical phrases can take something quite ordinary and turn it into something quite magical. The sound engineers deserve credit too - the way they take those short sound bytes and make them flow flawlessly from chord to chord through whatever progressions we composers dictate. I've been working on "Puzzle" for 45 years but was never satisfied with any of the previous 'bridges.' When I loaded MIDNITE.STY into BIAB and typed in the progression for the verses the backing itself seemed to suggest a totally new bridge and I was amazed at the result. You guys at PG Music are doing a marvellous job. Thanks for making my job a whole lot easier.

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.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.

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.
