There are times when something I experience during the course of a day triggers a memory. Also it’s a fact that I spend a lot of time around campfires. Both of these entered into this song.

Wow! What a sound! Solid,descriptive writing delivered really well.
I have to say, you are great at picking RT's that work well with loops!
I'm all around impressed. I'm not sure this could be written any catchier either!

Hi Tom
Taste and smell are renowned for generating what Proust called involuntary memories, as opposed to those we consciously try to recall (his most famous example provoked by the taste of a madeleine). You've constructed a beautiful lyric around the concept and delivered it via another great song and performance. So good.
Regards,
Leon

Hi Tom ...
Another super terrific song! Leon stated it very astutely. All I know to say is that the smell of smoke can trigger so many emotions, whether we intend for that to happen or not. And your song also leaves a long-term imprint in my memory ... and that's a good thing!
Everything cooks on this one. Great song and great listen. Best to you & yours. Be safe.

Great idea for a song!
Strong chorus, love the "When I think of her now I still smell smoke, we laid by the fire burning seasoned oak" line.
The song, performance, and production are top notch, and as always, a pleasure to listen to.
What are you using for drums if you don't mind me asking, they sound great!

This is a class act of a song. The musical writing and performance are wonderful, but the lyrics make it go that all-too-crucial extra mile. The memory of the smoke and the line about the sand are particular highlights. Wow. Nothing else to say - just that this song made me feel as if I was there with the character and his memories. And that's something special to convey to a listener, I feel. Thanks for sharing this and sincerest congratulations.

Olfactory memories, like Leon said, can catch you off-guard and- in this case, prompt you to buy a pack of Lucky's. Love it, Tom. Everything about it. Really top-notch.

Several great lines in this song: 'if you ever hold on to a little bit of sand
the tighter you squeeze the more it runs through your hand' and 'We wrapped ourselves in love and wore it so well' were my favorites. And sung so well! Excellent work!

Another quality write. Everything is top notch.

Big drums, good instrumentals, nice mix. Subtle backing vocals, nice sound!
I like the phrasing, especially the I still smell smoke.
Favorite line: Before I knew it she was in my past.
I really enjoyed listening!

Hello tommyad,
It is a beautiful composition. I enjoyed the introduction of the mandolin. The melody and the mix are well done. And everything pleases the ear. Well done.
Happy new year

What the heck to say? Leon set the piano on fire and exited the stage after his comments  You threw it all out there ... Great vocals, write, instrumental performances and your always high production values with those RT's, loops and TA. Cool to hear the mando in there too. "Back in the day Before it all went to hell We wrapped ourselves in love And wore it so well" Janice wanted to single that out as it flowed so well... J&B

Alan Thanks Alan. I sure do appreciate you coming by and commenting, Tom Great idea for a song!
Strong chorus, love the "When I think of her now I still smell smoke, we laid by the fire burning seasoned oak" line.
The song, performance, and production are top notch, and as always, a pleasure to listen to.
What are you using for drums if you don't mind me asking, they sound great! Dave, thanks for all that. The drums are loops run through CLA drums. I sometimes use Neutron2 as well as Logic Pro x , which has some amazing tools that can double, change kits or individual drums ( kick, snare etc.) and then route everything to 3 individual busses, so before you know it you have a lot of tracks. I pay extra attention to drums. I think it makes a huge difference in the end product. Also, I played many many years in a band that played country music as well as blues and our long term drummer was a Rock drummer with a capital R. So I now have ingrained in me the penchant for turning them up. Sometimes way up. Happy Holidays to you and yours,Tom

Marty, the thought of cigarettes never entered my mind. I, like many of us I’m sure have put that type of smoke far in the past. Although a good cigar does keep away the mosquitoes. As I recall she wasn’t a cigar smoker either. Thanks for stopping by. I appreciate the comments coming from a fine musician as yourself, Tom

Tommy,
Magnetic from the start—really crisp, fulsome sound. Terrific write, great lines throughout—love that pre-chorus (both the writing, but also the melody that goes with—great lead in to the chorus). Nothing not to like here . . . just a really excellent country tune. Impressive tune.
All my best
Deej

Olfactory reminiscence is a powerful thing.
I woke from a dream yesterday with the smell of smoke in my head.
I blame you.
The pre chorus & chorus really work a treat building and lifting.
Ace Tommy, ace.
Cheers

I like everything about this song and the production. The electric guitar solo is perfect. Great lyric lines.

Olfactory reminiscence is a powerful thing.
I woke from a dream yesterday with the smell of smoke in my head.
I blame you.
The pre chorus & chorus really work a treat building and lifting.
Ace Tommy, ace. Ha ha, I’m glad it was my song that triggered that and not the real thing. Thanks for your comments,Tom An enjoyable listen top to bottom.....great all round IMHO! Your opinion is appreciated. Thanks, Tom

Another top shelf production Tom! All the tracks meld together in such fine fashion! The lyrics are such a great example of superior songwriting! It's all capped off with a super vocal performance! T

Tommy, I'm late to the party but glad I could make it.
Everything that I wanted to say already has been said so all I'll add is that this is one fantastic song, maybe your best to date, and that you are one multi-talented musician, singer, arranger, and mix master.
I want my last spoken words to be "I hid a million dollars under the........................"

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!

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."
