Just finished another new one, called All I Know. All the instruments are Realtracks/Realdrums, with some strings added. All the vocals are me. I hope you enjoy it!

All I Know

Here are the lyrics...

All I Know
Words and Music copyright Stephen W. Young

Standing there in the middle of my heart
The vision of a dream come true
Like a pretty picture, or an old post card
Reminders of happy times with you

All I know is that the sun shines brighter when you're next to me
I know the grass is greener right here our my own back yard
I know that love is more than a dream, it's reality
All I know is we were meant to be
And all I know is good enough for me

I try to think of ways to let you know
Just how I feel when you're around
I can't seem to find the words to show
Beyond what I can comprehend

All I know is that the sun shines brighter when you're next to me
I know the grass is greener right here our my own back yard
I know that love is more than a dream, it's reality
All I know is we were meant to be
And all I know is good enough for me

Steve,

Wonderful through and through (as always). Beautifully written song - lyric and melody.
Great vocal and harmony (as always). Your use/choice of RealTracks is ALWAYS so nicely done. The low-volume accordion in the background is a brilliant idea (that sounded like something Noel would say, didn't it!). And the tasteful mix of guitars and mandolin is... well,... tasteful!!!

And like Josie said... that intro is sweet.

The whole track has such a wonderful flow.

You are very excellent with your songwriting! I hope to aspire to be as good as you one day. I really loved this song that you just did excellent job, I really love the mandolin.


Music is an expression that is a universal language, Never criticize anybody to harshly. They need time to grow but when they do, they do. Always be kind in what you say and do because the man upstairs is watching.

Well I absolutely did enjoy it.
I agree with everyone else that this is top notch stuff! Excellent in every aspect.
For some reason every time it goes to the chorus... I just wanna smile.
Great job Steve!

Hey Steve,

If you could look through my monitor right as this moment, you'd see me sitting here with an incredibly impressed look on my face. This is an outstanding song: lyrics, melody, arrangement, production and mix. That first line of the chorus is dynamite. It really packs an amazing punch.

In my opinion, this is songwriting at its absolute best.

All the best,
Noel

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.
