Excellent song. Very power pop, which I love. Your vocal is ace as I have come to expect.

Mix sounds really good. My only nitpick is that the BGV in the bridge could be brought back a bit. It's too present or forward. All the other BGVs are fine.

Oh I love that ending chord! Very Beatlesque. I had to go back to that and listen to that again.

Great redo Deej! Never heard the first one, but it would be hard to beat this. I really liked your vocal and that outro was very original. I think the BGV's were great in the song and probably added a lot. I liked the guitars you chose on this, but have a tendency to agree with both David and Dan. A little acoustic might be good, but this is very good as it is and I wouldn't want to over do it. Loved that writing in the second verse!

This version works for us! Great vocals and the falsetto is effective.

Lyric, band, vocals, arrangement and mix are all tasteful.
Regarding mixing: it is never finished just abandoned and "do's and don't's" are plentiful and often in conflict.
You been at this a while we say go with your ear and heart!

It looks like you’ve already gotten good advice on the solo guitar.

Isn’t it interesting going back to our first songs made via BiaB?

Enjoyed it!

Deej,
A worthy revisit; I remember how your vocal qualities won me over from your first forum post and they have only improved with production skills evolving.
There`s lots of very good advice on this version; I think its excellent as is!

"First off, the vocal was a tad high end and strained on some of the high notes."
Deej, I didn't there was a song that was too high for You, you have a tremendous vocal range and don't ever sound like you are straining to reach a note! This was worth a re-visit IMO! You did a wonderful job with the vox on this! It's a wonderful cool catchy tune! The ending was very creative and Beatle-esque to my ears! TB

Excellent Production and overall sound of the recording. Great use of Real Tracks. The lead vocals sound a bit wobbly ...??? as if it was recorded slower and sped up? I really dig the song and production.

Deej,

It's a very pop rock tune.
Your vocal brilliance is fully demonstrated.
It's a simple piece of music, but it makes your vocals stand out even more.
Great Singer is here!
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

Vocals are of course top again
And also all the guitar solos by BiaB are actually good.

Floyd, David, tommyad, David C, Ezekiel, Brad, Scott, J&B, Robert, Torrey, Elliott, Shigeki, and Andi:

Thanks to you all for the listens and comments. I think I’m going to table this one yet again and maybe revisit at some later point. I hear the comments on adding an acoustic track, so I am going to give that a shot at some point, if nothing else than just to hear the alternative take.

J&B: A shout out to you as well on your comment to “She Rules Me” . . . I didn’t want to bump up that thread as well, but really appreciate your listen.

Stay well all,

Deej

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.
