Noel,
I hope my observations did not come across as something I thought you SHOULD have done. Far from it, I think the song is very well conceived and doesn't need to change a bit. My intent was only to use the topic at hand (your song) as a springboard for discussion of possibilities in general, across all songs. You strike me as a man of possibilities, and so it seemed like a safe place to venture.
Your reasoning is very well considered in my opinion. And I thank you for taking time to state openly the inner mechanics of your song writing.. it makes the whole process of writing a song seem less intimidating when I see it as a series of logical and attainable smaller steps.
I'm glad that there is no set of binding rules for songwriting, but rather combinations of technique that are known to be pleasing to the ear. It is fun to learn the various techniques and apply them differently to songs according to the effect one hopes to achieve.
I am inspired by the way you approach the craft of song writing. I am not so sure I will ever have my brain wrapped around these concepts as well as you seem to, but I am having fun watching from the sidelines, learning bits and pieces as my brain will allow.
Thanks for sharing your music and your thinking. I appreciate both.

Hi Pat, Quote:

Not in the least! I appreciated your thoughts and your posts. They were very insightful. You comments parallel my thinking in many many ways. I included the above comments regarding a couple of aspects of how I approach lyric writing because I know that you are a man who likes to understand the nuts and bolts of process.
Regards,
Noel

Hi Noel, How remiss of me. I thought I had replied to you before now but I see I didn't. I have nothing further to add (it has all been said) except I really liked it. You are getting a lot better, you seem to have found your voice  Keep 'em coming. Best regards michee

Although I sometimes analyze songs, I prefer not to.
For me, it clouds the enjoyment of listening.
Nicely done. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

I am not a lyric analyst and normally I find a sense of lyrical completion on every song posted on this Forum. When I post a song, it's to confirm or not that the production supports the song and does not distract my attention from the overall production/performance. I too would rather listen than analyze unless help or input is requested specifically by the author. Ian

Hi Mick Emery,
I'm glad to read that you enjoyed the song.
I have no problem with people analyzing the songs I post and offering their suggestions. This is why I post them. During my time on these boards, I have found that the detailed analyzes that many people freely share is extremely valuable in opening my eyes to new ideas that help me strengthen my songs. The many and varied thoughts of people such Ian, marc, Jeff, Pat, Skyline, flatfoot, Sundance, Mike sings, RickeG and many others, have helped me immensely in honing my skills. To be frank, I wouldn't be where I am without such comments.
Thank you for having a listen, Mick. I really appreciate the positive feedback.
Kind regards,
Noel

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."
