Here is my latest song. It was created with Biab and then taken into Realband. The background instruments are Super Quartet an then Real Fiddle, Real Sax and during the bridge a Real Acoustic track was used. I hope you like it . Let me know what you think and as always any suggestions are always welcomed. I am going to have my son do harmony on it. So this is not the finished product. Let me know what I can do to improve it. The song is entitled The Good Ole Days.

I enjoyed that Robert. Don't know that I can suggest any improvements. It reminded me a bit of Neil Young which is a good thing.

Good job Robert.........

I like it, the message the lyrics and the mix aint bad either. The drum track needs a little help IMO.

Sounds like a toy set. Fix that and you'll have a much better song going on here.

I liked it. It did have a Neil Young feel to it. Good, true lyrics. "Sometimes they have two". . . Tell me about it.

I am not into the kind of religious lyrics, so I won't go into that. As a musical thing I think this is a nice song and mix. I agree with toucher that the drums can use a makeover though. A little more lively kit, that reacts more to the music would indeed spice up the song.


I'll be back...

Super song Robert! Great lyrics!

I do agree with Toucher about the drum kit. Other than that this is very good.

Very nicely done Robert. The mix sounds great here. They already mentioned the drums, throw in some Real Drums and your set.
