Hello everyone. My name is Dan, and I am brand new to everything here: This forum, BIAB, DAW's, Audio Interfaces, you name it. I do play guitar, but I left that up to BIAB for this one.

Thanks to BIAB, I was able to "reverse the curse," of writer's block that spanned over 17 years.

The Perfect Life was written and arranged in BIAB less than 48 hours after I got the program. Then came learning some mixing basics (can you say countless Youtube Tutorials?). After this short time I can say BIAB was the spark that ignited a fire and I will be forever grateful to this concept.

Hope I did ok for my first post here and hope you enjoy...

So many years ago when I was young
A lot like you my life had just begun
I chased the stars and I lived so free
Spent all my time by a silver sea

I married a beautiful woman
and we shared a love so true
our hearts were young and our songs were sung
under skies that were always blue

And now so many years were here then passed
The perfect life I built could never last
My bride, my love one day she slipped away
She's with the lord but it was my place to stay

If I had my life to live over
There isn't a thing I would change
And I pray some day that you will find your way
To live your life the same

So chase some stars and live so free
Marry the one you love and live by the sea
I'll spend my time in dreams of yesterday
And when my time is gone I'll just fade away
