I began this song before the viral emergency, I was trying to create a strong beat. The lyrics came after our isolation. Lead vocal was recorded through a vintage PA mic I found at a yard sale for $2.

Viral Song

I told you before, got to keep your distance
you're out of control, I got no resistance
you got no right to threaten my existence
Please just go away

It's easy to see you got no heart
mistress of evil, you play the part
It's got to end before it starts
Please just go away
Please just go away

I've been polite, I said what's right
sat with you all through the night
but please just go away

there once was a time you could be mine
we'd snuggle close and drink your wine
and through the haze, I miss those days
I had to leave, I could not stay

You come to my house like a death machine
I need relief, I need a vaccine
now I'm more scared than I've ever been
please just go away
You're here inside, but you never asked
I didn't expect you, I wear a mask
my feelings for you, are in the past
please just go away
please just gp away
I've had enough today
please just go away

I really like this Will. Great intro and ending. I love the vocal effects plus the change in the bridge, great work. Great harmonies, mix, and instrumentation.

This is super good!


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.

Some interesting element in that.
Like the vibe on the vocals.
Just imagine what you could do with a $4 mic.

Fantastic recording. What a great sound. I love the Fx on the vocals and then it's off on the one verse. Perfect. Outstanding electric guitar. Great use of BIAB too. Nice job here.

Real nice, Will! Something a little different for us ... in a good way. Perhaps bringing the bass more forward in the mix would give it a little more musical impact. Nonetheless, it's one of my favorites from you. Good message .

Take care and be safe ...

Really interesting song, Will. It all centers around that well-spent $2. I really like how you gathered the right musicians, then mixed them in with a sort of theme of sound. Works well!! The harmonies give the sense of this-is-the-part-we-all-sing. Interesting and effective choice to NOT affect the vocal on one verse.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Thanks for the comments and suggestions. I forgot to mention this is the first time I've played bass myself, on a 60's Hofner Beatle bass copy.

Loved this, the radio effect on the voice gave this in my opinion a legendary sound like video killed the radio star minted.

Thanks

Very well done. Great vocal. Overall, musically, terrific. The lyrics don't always make sense to me (my feelings for you are in the past, for example).

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."
