Hi all,

Here's another song from my ballad collection. This time it's a collaboration with my friend Mick Bryant.

Hope you like it.

Unfortunately, I can't remember what style I used as I have changed it so many times. frown

My songs are recorded as demo's for the purpose of pitching to publishers, labels and artists and as such are not full production masters.

As always, any comments welcome.

Equipment: Roland VS 1680
Digitech Vocalist VR
Yamaha MSP5 Monitors
Behringer MDX2600
Rode NT1 Microphone
Art Studio V3 Pre Amp
Lurssen Mastering Console

That 1st sung phrase seems a bit pitchy.
Nice song. Production values aside, a nice job.


Cheers

Nicely done! Flows smoothly, and despite it not being fully mastered or mix I thought it sounded high quality. Nicely catchy as well.

Thanks for sharing smile

Martin,

Good title.

The chorus melody is really good.

"So don't let the things I didn't do break your heart" - good line.

Hi Martin, Really enjoyed this one from you. Nice melody. You certainly do have a good voice for ballads, ( which I must admit to enjoying a lot more as I get older and more sensible ? LOL

I really liked this one. That chorus is fantastic. The whole song is really good. The mix was solid and your vocal was strong but the lyrics took it over the top for me.

Excellent write!


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.

The song really found itself at that chorus. Great job. This is a strong write, a fun listen for me this morning.

Producers say they can tell if the song is what they want in the first 20 seconds --some of the pompous ones will say 10 seconds. I was hooked right from your intro chords, and the song kept getting better with each measure. Really well done. Mr. Songman.

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.

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."
