I wanted to write a song to honor all the men and women in the military who have had to be away from their families and loved ones. So here it is. All the instruments are RealTracks/RealDrums, plus a little bit of strings and brass, using Miroslav Philharmonik. I hope you enjoy it!

Where I'm Going

Here is the BIAB info...

*******************

And here are the lyrics...
Where I'm Going
Copyright Stephen W. Young

Verse 1
The nights are lonely here without you
I see you everywhere I turn
I count the days from when I left you
I count the days 'til I am home

Verse 2
I know the cause is great before me
I know the stakes are very high
I've seen so many broken hearted
I've seen so many big men cry

Chorus
And if I seem to ramble on in what I'm saying
I hope to make it clear before I'm through
You see, I know where I belong and where I'm going
And every step I take brings me one step closer to you

Verse 3
I hear the sound of little children
They're playing in a land that's free
I hear the sound of generations
They're singing songs of liberty

Chorus
And if I seem to ramble on in what I'm saying
I hope to make it clear before I'm through
You see, I know where I belong and where I'm going
And every step I take brings me one step closer to you

---
Have a great day!

Steve

Nice song Steve. I liked everything about it, vocals (first class), arrangement, mix, well, everything! Thanks for bringing along this one.

Wow! I actually thought this was Skyline's song until I paid a bit more attention (and after listening all the way through). Fine tune, great mix, tremendous use of Real Tracks. It sparkled through my little 2.1 PC system. I'll make a point to listen through the big speaks this evening.

I never would have thought to even listen to the Praise and Worship drums, pointing up something I said in the BIAB forum about listening to EVERYTHING in order to make intelligent decisions about what tracks to use.

Great job!

R.

Very, very nice, Steve!

No important criticism.... I really appreciated the restraint you used in every aspect of the song... understatement, less is more.

Thank you.

Ryszard,

Thanks so much! I hope you weren't too disappointed that I wasn't Skyline.

I agree with you. I have long been encouraging people to stay open to using combinations of instruments you wouldn't normally think of using. The main thing is to really listen.

Thanks again for your kind words!

Hi Brad,

Thank you for taking time to listen and post about my song! Really appreciated.

I think there is always a temptation to allow things to be too busy. Every part can sound so great by itself. But when I listen to some of the great productions, some of the fullest sounds are the simplest - they just fit! Always a big challenge.

Thanks again.

Steve

Because I thought it was, I kept listening for that Strat sound of his. And there it was, right towards the end! Fantastic sound! Then I switched back to this discussion and saw what was really going on. I am truly blown away by the fact that that was a Real Track, and more impressed with them than ever. (This coming from a MIDI guy who is a guitarist himself.) As has been said above, the understated quality makes the whole production shine. I look forward to your next offering.

Richard

P.S.: Look for a PM.
