Marty, the chaos of change in the lyrics leads the listener into the connect the dots realm. Not necessarily a bad thing. Dave’s guitar shines as does the bass. Good vocal with a surprising low down ending. Everything in it’s place and sounding good, Tom Thanks, Tom. Yes, leading them into the dot game is good if the juice is worth the squeeze. The guitar requires no effort, so we thank Dave for giving the song that exta squeeze. Hi Marty and Dave
Very catchy song
Sounds excellent
Dave's fill ins and the solo are outstanding
The bass really comes into its own
And your vocals are great again.
Good idea at the end. Fits perfectly !!!
Many greetings
Andi ;-) Thank you, Andi. Much asppreciated. Hi, Marty and Dave !
...and of course a most Happy New Year to both of you !
Why did I get a hint that this was all about
a chessgame - or rather many games (kingdoms) (chuckle) !
In any case, a very good tune and performance I´d say !
Cheers
Dani Thanks, Dani. There is a chess reference in the video --appropriately a bad checkmate move. Thanks for the inspiration for the low note. Very cool Marty!
Yeah there are a lot of political protest songs popping up on the forum today.
Is there something going on out there or something?
Is there some kind of big bad Boogeyman with orange hair floating around the world like a big balloon scaring everybody with his shadow?
Maybe some kind of nightmare were there are some people who are covered in Bear skins running around yelling and voting Republican? Maybe some skinny old 90-year-old women who are still in office with faces that look like dried up raisins pointing their little pointy fingers, and other old dried up carcasses yawning and drawling and falling asleep in their chairs?
I wouldn't know you know because I don't read the news but if that is the kind of stuff that's going on that would be really scary!!!
Good song man! Well said, David. The News is the worse place to get the truth, but you gave me a great idea for a song.  "Kingdoms come and go. Sit back and watch the show", yes, this song is a very good show and I happily go down the drain with the desire to listen to it again in a place black as pitch - until Marty & Dave kingdom is gone, but I hope I won't see that day, I'd rather be swallowed by the hidden wrath  . Interesting story, I'm sure future generations will be pondering its meaning. Good song, good vocals, enjoyable guitar/bass playing. Janne HAHA!! Janne! Always love your comments. You get it even when I don't. Thanks.

Cool stuff. You can read a lot in those lyrics depending on where you stand.
That's some rowdy guitar tone.

I know what you mean, Marty.
For me and possibly most of us, the start of a new song normally starts with a fair bit of mumbling.
Re the music:
It sounds to my ears that the bass is slightly behind the beat. It may be that you accidently nudged the bass track a couple of ms in your DAW.
I've done it myself a few times. Worth checking.

The 1st minute or so of vocal seems too quiet but then I either get used to it or it lifts.
THat bass not ending is cool.
The bridge does seem to be axiomatic. The rest of the lyric sounds and looks good - leaving space for interpretation by the listener.
Dave's on fire - as usual & not his pants either.
I didn't watch the vid. as Utub wasn't playing nicely.
Cheers

Really enjoyed this tune! Those progressions are timeless, and you and Dave sound like you're having a ball. Excellent, ambiguous write and solid production throughout. Kudos on the Bb, too!

This one seems so esoteric that even I don't know what it means. Marty yo made me spit out my coffee when I read this. Lol. Boy do I love the groove on this. Excellent vocal and lyric. Your basslines were excellent. Such a cool feel. Daves guitar break was excellent as well.

“Kingdoms come and go. Sit back and watch the show.” Indeed but we don’t wanna see ours go. Little tired of the daily show. Janice commented that the intro reminded her of water swirling. OK here's the broken record part: Your and Dave's performances are ace. Great band too ... especially nice piano. And the video was very complementary to the audio production. (yeah, spelled with an e  ) Fun but a bit scary -- the norm of late we guess. J&B

Marty, this one of my favorite songs now---your best lyrics!
Dave guitar, once again, spices up (chili pepper) the instrumentation.
I love that last note!

Whoa! Looks like I haven't replied to some cool comments. Cool stuff. You can read a lot in those lyrics depending on where you stand.
That's some rowdy guitar tone. Thanks, Herb. Those lyrics can be argued from both side. hehe "Rowdy" is a great adjective for Dave's tone. I know what you mean, Marty.

Vic Thanks, Vic. I could tell that you would understand how those lyrics came about. Years ago I remember a well-trained drummer telling me to "stay a bit behind the beat for this one." Even after he demonstrated it, I didn't quite get how to "feel" it that way. I may have gotten carried away with this one, but the track wasn't nudged. Thanks, I'll listen more closely and fix it. The 1st minute or so of vocal seems too quiet but then I either get used to it or it lifts.

I didn't watch the vid. as Utub wasn't playing nicely. Good ear, Ray. I can't tell ya how much time I spent on increasing, then decreasing the vocal volume especailly in the beginning. I'd like to believe that you forgot the "E" at the end of your not(e) about the bass. "Axiomatic" is the perfect adjective for the Bridge. Sometimes I think Dave's playing is so hot that he might catch his pants on fire. Really enjoyed this tune! Those progressions are timeless, and you and Dave sound like you're having a ball. Excellent, ambiguous write and solid production throughout. Kudos on the Bb, too! Thanks, Ron. I'm really diggin' the adjectives today. "Ambiguous" is perfect. This one seems so esoteric that even I don't know what it means. Marty yo made me spit out my coffee when I read this. Lol. Boy do I love the groove on this. Excellent vocal and lyric. Your basslines were excellent. Such a cool feel. Daves guitar break was excellent as well. HAhaHA! Glad you guffawed, Scott, but sorry about the coffee loss. Thanks for everything, buddy. “Kingdoms come and go. Sit back and watch the show.” Indeed but we don’t wanna see ours go. Little tired of the daily show.

And the video was very complementary to the audio production. (yeah, spelled with an e ) Fun but a bit scary -- the norm of late we guess. J&B Yeah, you guys are The Best In Show in so many categories, so don't change the channel. Glad you noticed the piano, Bud. There were more than a few measures where he had to be tamed, but he finally played well with others. Janice, doesn't it swirl counterclockwise in your hemisphere? Thanks, you two!! Marty, this one of my favorite songs now---your best lyrics!
Dave guitar, once again, spices up (chili pepper) the instrumentation.
I love that last note! WOW! Thank you, Scott! Dave is the not-so-secret ingredient that sweetly spices the sauce.

Sounds like a live band cut. By this I mean it has the energy of live musicians playing together, rather than a computer. I can picture this performed in a local pub. Like this chord changes and groove. Cool lyrics. Good Song !

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."
