Hi everyone, This song was partially based on some medicall experiences I had last year. But all I sing here did not happen! Well..., the part about my wife is true  And also the duration of my recovery... And it also has nothing to do with the return of a mummy... It is called You Came Back, https://on.soundcloud.com/qQfgkBut because I was glad to leave some nasty things behind I made a song with a beat! Hope you like it! Hans ============== The lyrics: You came back HWBerkhout (c) 020424 It was a lovely sunny day, so we went shopping in the city mall I didn’t hear it coming, but I woke up in a hospital Vaguely, I could see my hands, they were bandaged and I think all of me too Footsteps coming my way I feared some bad news about you... Chorus But when I heard that voice right behind me Oh I... I was in heaven To hear this sound is some sensation The one I love came back It took some time to recover But I was happy we both survived Oh, I missed you the days you could not come to visit me Chorus But when I heard that voice right behind me Oh I... I was in heaven To hear this sound is some sensation The one I love came back Solo Chorus When I hear that voice right behind me Oh I... I am in heaven To hear this sound is some sensation The one I love came back I came home more or less the one I was But my eyes... healed enough to gaze at you Chorus 2x And when I hear that voice right behind me Oh I... I am in heaven To hear this sound is some sensation The one I love came back Oh, when I hear that voice right behind me Oh I... know it is you To hear this sound is some sensation And now you came back to me And the technicall stuff ============================================================= Style is _FACULA.STY (Facula Driving Slow Rock) RealTracks in style: 1522:Bass, Electric RealTracks in song: 3261:Cello, Rhythm CelticReelChopping RealTracks in song: 4581:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm RealTracks in song 2x: 4157:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm RealTracks in song: 4584:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm PopMotionHeldSpaceySynth ev 100 RealTracks in song: 2687:Guitar, Electric, Soloist Blues RealDrums in Song:FunkDisco: a: Kick, HiHat b: Kick, Closing HiHat Keyboards: NI Mallets / Piano Colors

Glad you made it through whatever happened - it gave the rest of us a chance to hear some of your good music. I really liked the beat on this one, and I too thought it was a great lead guitar you placed in there. I had a similar experience in an emergency room one day, and your chorus really nailed how I felt when I awoke and first heard my wife's voice behind me. Good stuff Birchwood.

So much great art is born of adversity...glad you came out of it with a song! Yeah, that backing track just percolates along, but I love all the little stutters and gear changes. And REALLY love the way you've processed your fine vocals on this one. Just a perfect synthesis of music and storytelling.

Hello Floyd, Brad and Ron, Thank you for your very nice posts! Hans,
Very cool opening.
Excellent BAND. The solo is good.
Good Mix.
Cool vocals.
Glad you made it through whatever happened... you got some good Music out of it...
Well done.
fj Floyd, thanks! The real story is different, but I still need to recover. Your compliments help! Glad you made it through whatever happened - it gave the rest of us a chance to hear some of your good music.

Brad Brad, thanks for these nice words! The chorus was pretty much how I felt (and sometimes still do). What nice (in a way) you had that experience too. I like that idea, thanks! So much great art is born of adversity...glad you came out of it with a song! Yeah, that backing track just percolates along, but I love all the little stutters and gear changes. And REALLY love the way you've processed your fine vocals on this one. Just a perfect synthesis of music and storytelling. Ron, There is a saying about sadness and creativity. They often go together... More than joy and creativity. But I prefer joy in my life ;-) Thanks for listening, Hans

Hi Bob, Torrey and Brain, Thanks for your positive coments on this song! I had no accident as in the song, but something nasty with my throat. I was the second one in my country to undergo that operation, so a little shaky. It will take a year to recover... so I'm half way now. What I suffered was too complicated to sing about, therefore I chose that accident. The chorus was -more or less- true Hans,
Excellent song, vocals and production. Love the mix.
Glad you are on the mend!

Second listen on this one Hans. Very cool intro. What a cool groove to this tune. I think the bass lines and hihat really contributed to the groove.. Excellent vocal and lyric. Masterful production and mix. Well done..

Hi, Hans. Nice vibe! Sounds very cool - as Vic says, "Good production". Glad you're doing OK. Real life is rarely simple enough to write out "As Is" - it makes much more sense to edit out the "unimportant" details.

Accidents are scary Hans! I had one about 18 months ago and had some PTSD for a while. Glad you are OK and putting some great music together!!! Take care. Greg

Band-in-a-Box 2026 Video: AI Stems & Notes - split polyphonic audio into instruments and transcribe
This video demonstrates how to use the new AI-Notes feature together with the AI-Stems splitter, allowing you to select an audio file and have it separated into individual stems while transcribing each one to its own MIDI track. AI-Notes converts polyphonic audio—either full mixes or individual instruments—into MIDI that you can view in notation or play back instantly.
