Hi all.
This is a re-write of a song I wrote some time ago.
All comments welcome. Rob4580

Three Chords


If I had a billy I'd bring you some water.
I'd bring you some water to take on your thirst.
I'd take it from it from mountains and deep flowing canyons.
I'd bring you some water to take on your thirst.

If I was a painter I'd paint you a landscape.
With wild rugged ranges in midst of a storm.
I'd paint you a landscape that no one had painted.
I'd bring you some water to take on your thirst.

Chorus
But all I can give you is love and a heartbeat.
To sing you a song is the best I can do.
I'll play you three chords and I'll pen down a love song.
To sing you a song is the best I can do.

Bridge

Chorus
But all I can give you is love and a heartbeat.
To sing you a song is the best I can do.
I'll play you three chords and I'll pen down a love song.
To sing you a song is the best I can do.

Rob,
the harmony is ace.
I haven't seen/heard "billy" in a song for yonks.
It's a lovely song - I want more verses becasue I dug the way it developed and the way you tied the 1st into the last line of the 2nd.
Tres bonn.


Cheers

I like it. Simple but effective lyrics, nicely sung, well mixed.

Sounds like a classic folk song - familiar, but original. laugh

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Rob,

If you were a painter, you would have painted a lovely, lovely song—just like this one. Every element is pretty darn perfect, from vocals, mood, sentiment, production. Like this in all respects—impressive.

“I’ll pen you three chords and I’ll pen down a love song”—what a great line!

My best to you,

Deej

What a tune - some excellent lyricism here, and your vocals are the perfect vehicle for them. It is tender, emotional, and definitely tugs at the heart a little bit.

You did a fantastic job on this one - great work and thanks for sharing smile

Lovely.

It's written and performed with that heartfelt feel that you are a master of.

The word genuine always comes to mind when we listen to your productions.

It has a classic feel that makes the listener immediately feel right at home.

Well done all the way around!

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."
