falling in love
falling in love
I've falling in love cos i don't know what to do whats happening here am i in love with you
I've falling in love
am I falling in love
am I falling in love cos I just don't know any more

i often dream about the day we met walking to the dance me and the boys not care in the world
just joking just having some fun seems so many years ago how times have changed
but in the morning in the cold light of day
there's something somehow that now doesn't ring so true not much more anyway

cos I've falling in love
yes I've falling in love
I've falling in love and i didn't know what to do cos its happened again am I in love with you
falling in love
yes I've fallen in love
I've fallen in love and still didn't know what to do

I've sitting on the front porch beer in my hand, half a sleep just watching the sun go down
they don't make anything much better than this and i know there's bin a few, specially with me and the boys
I'm thinking of the girl I love and that day we were making those plans
about all those things that we always wanted to come true, just me and you

fallen in love
oh I've fallen in love
I've fallen in love and I don't know what to do cos its happened gain am I in love with you
I've falling in love
ooh I've falling in love
I've falling in love and I just cant help it but I've fallen in love in love with you again
falling in love


Enjoy

Cordial.. Bouncy.. EZ.. Jazz..

All of those things and more. This is a terrific listen. Your vocal(s) on this are "in the pocket" - getting the sentiment across perfectly.

Nice arrangement - the band comes around at just the right times..

It struck me as a song the Leon Redbone would do.

You are on a roll, Alyn... I like that picture!

Alyn,

Very catchy - the jazzy vibe suits to the feeling a T.
Excellent vocal on this and the Flab Four harmonies work really well.
Nice selfie!

In a word: COOL

For us there are good sorta hypnotic grooves and this is one!

You packed a world of interest in a sparse arrangement. And that good also. And not easy to accomplish.

Most enjoyable!

202 New RealTracks Released with Band-in-a-Box 2026!

With Band-in-a-Box® 2026, we've released 202 incredible new RealTracks (in sets 468-488) in a variety of genres—featuring your most requested styles!

Jazz, Funk & World (Sets 468-475):
Our new jazz, funk & blues RealTracks include a groovin’ collection of RealTracks and RealDrums! These include more requested “soul jazz” RealTracks featuring artists Neil Swainson (bass), Charles Treadway (organ), Brent Mason (guitar), and Wes Little (drums). There are new “smooth jazz” styles (4), which include a RealTracks first: muted trumpet, as well as slick new smooth jazz brushes options for drums. Blues lovers will be thrilled—there are more “classic acoustic blues” styles, including guitar (5), bass (4), and drums (10) with blues master Colin Linden, featuring understated and tasty background acoustic soloing, plus brushes drums and acoustic bass. There are also new electric blues RealTracks, including electric blues with PG favorite Johnny Hiland (3) and soulful electric slide guitar from Colin Linden (4). If you love funk & gospel, there are great new options this year, including gospel organ (3) from Charles Treadway, as well as new funk, tango, and rock ’n’ roll drums (3) and bass (1). And for big, bold arrangements, we have uptempo soul horns (4) featuring a three-part hip horn section with options for a full mix or stems of each individual horn — plus an accompanying rhythm section (4) of drums, bass, guitar, and electric piano!

Rock & Pop (Sets 476–482):
Our new rock & pop RealTracks bring a powerful mix of requested favorites, fresh genres, and modern chart-inspired styles! We have more of our popular “Producer Layered Acoustic Guitars (15)” featuring Band-in-a-Box favorite Brent Mason. We’ve continued our much-requested disco styles (10), and added new Celtic guitar (5) with a more basic, accessible approach than our previous Drop-D or DADGAD offerings. There are also highly requested yacht rock styles (17), inspired by the smooth, polished soft-rock sound of the late ’70s and early ’80s — laid-back grooves, silky electric pianos, warm textures, elegant harmonic movement, and pristine production aesthetics. Fans of heavier styles will love our new glam metal (13), capturing the flashy, high-energy sound of ’80s arena-ready guitar rock. We also have a set of rootsy modern-folk rock (18), with a warm, organic sound combining contemporary folk textures and driving acoustic strumming. And we’ve added lots of new modern pop styles (16) — the kinds of sounds you’re hearing on the radio today, featuring exciting new drums, synths, and cutting-edge RealTracks arrangements.

Country, & Americana (Sets 483–488):
Our new country & Americana RealTracks deliver a rich collection of acoustic, electric, and roots-inspired styles! We have new country pop (9) with legendary guitarist Brent Mason. There is also a potpourri (14) of bouzouki, guitars, banjo, and more, perfect for adding texture and character to contemporary acoustic arrangements. We’ve added funky country guitar (5) with PG favorite Brent Mason, along with classic pedal steel styles (5) featuring steel great Doug Jernigan. There are more country songwriter styles (8) that provide intimate, rootsy foundations for storytelling and modern Americana writing. Finally, we have “background soloing” acoustic guitar (12) with Brent Mason — simpler, but still very tasty acoustic lines designed to sit beautifully behind vocals or act as a subtle standalone solo part.

Check out all the 202 new RealTracks (in sets 468-488)!

And, if you are looking for more, the 2026 49-PAK (for $49) includes an impressive collection of 20 bonus RealTracks, featuring exciting and inspiring additions to add to your RealTracks library. You'll get new country-rhythm guitar styles from PG Music favorites Johnny Hiland and Brent Mason, along with modern-pop grooves that capture today’s radio-ready sound! There are also new indie-folk styles with guitar, bass, 6-string bass used as a high-chording instrument, acoustic guitar, and banjo. Plus, dedicated "cymbal fills" RealDrums provide an added layer that work very well with low-key folky styles with other percussion.

The 2026 49-PAK is loaded with other great new add-ons as well. Learn more about the 2026 49-PAK!
