The Graveyard is a subject where not many songs are written about, unless you're into heavy metal.  They can be very uplifting places to roam, I was a grave digger for seventeen years would you believe. I wrote this song with the help of a friends lyrics. I'm singing, playing rhythm on my old Guild D35 with embellishments here and there. Brian https://www.bandlab.com/post/9e6de1dc-8bfa-ee11-aaf0-000d3aa5105b The GraveyardThe graveyard is a strange place Full of trees and grass and stones Where the dead are laid to rest, with their bones But in the dead of night When the moon is at it's height Ghouls drift around all dressed up in white Breeze on our faces a chill in the air Walking through fields all laid bare I love to hear the stories, of people in the ground Did they laugh and did they cry, did they love We enter the graveyard Through the heavy iron gate Where wolves howl and they brandish their tails Looking at the headstones All is silent 'cept the wind Salute up to heaven smile, at the sky Bass, Acoustic, CountryWaltz Sw 085 Piano, Acoustic, Solo-Accompaniment CountryWaltzJohn Sw 085 Guitar, Electric, Soloist CountryWaltzBrent Sw 085 NashClassicWaltzSw^4-a:Snare, Ride , b:Snare, Hihat

Beautiful song, I have a weakness for 3/4.
Good vocals and guitar playing, and the general production (minus the drums, they could have a couple of dB more) is pretty good.
Enjoyed the listen.

Hi, Brian.
Nice song - singing and arrangement.
I was a bit confused with this rather fantastical description:
But in the dead of night
When the moon is at it's height
Ghouls drift around all dressed up in white
...since it didn't seem to fit in with the rest of the song.
17 years being gravedigger? That's a lot of backhoe work!

Brian, really nice song, nicely sung! Love the arrangement and that soloist sounds great. Cemetery themes can be nice (like this one) but not everyone's cup of tea. I think you pulled it of GREAT!

Nice sound you have here and apart from a couple of lines (ghouls and wolves brandishing tails) that seem outside the general sentiment of peace and memory it works well.

Very cool song, Brian. I share your feelings for graveyards. What a cool song. This is a perfect song for walking through graveyards. I particularly like the old ones, and also make up stories from the headstones. Wonderful song. I always get to know the guys that work there --always insteresting folks with plenty stories to tell.

Thanks all for your comments much appreciated. I agree with the extra 2dB on the drums will render again with that in mind. Looks like I may have to "bury" the ghouls and wolves and write another verse. Brian

A song about a graveyard, I dig it!
Super vocal
"I love to hear the stories, of people in the ground
Did they laugh and did they cry, did they love" what a great line!
Super backing track and excellent rhythm guitar playing.
A really liked the groove and mix.
I just posted a selfie and all of the responses were get well soon!

Hi Brian.
This is great listening! I love your singing. You have a super voice and an awesome range!
The arrangement is excellent and showcases your talent well.
I also love 3/4 time and, from the start, you captured my imagination.
I thoroughly enjoyed the journey you took me one.
Best regards,
--Noel

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!

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.
