Hi, folks ! Been away for quite a long time and it feels almost like starting over again ! In any case, I did this little jazzy tune in between as I somehow got hooked on that nice progression you can hear at the end !:)) ....and I am sailing away with my novia to Stockholm next weekend and the weather is cold..... http://app.box.com/s/brck0xgf9gjk343venkdStyle: JAZZWES:STY Instruments: Bass: 443 AC Bass Jazz Sw 140 Piano: 449 AC Piano Rhytm Jazz sw 140 Drums: Realdrums = Jazzbrushes Guitar: 561 Guitar El Rhytm Jazz Wes Comp sw 140 Soloist 1 : AC Piano Soloist 2 Clarinet Recorded and mixed using mixcraft 6 and zoom H4n. Lyrics: We´ll Find A Way There To Chime (by Dani) © Dani Lindroos 2014 I´m sittin’ here, all alone in the darkness, all light´s gone what will become of love this time I´ve been waitin’, for so long I´ve been waiting, for you to come along but I´ve a feeling I´ve done a crime I just made you blue the other day, babe I did´nt mean to make you cry will you pardon me, no maybe I should have known you were that shy Let’s get together and sail away don´t mind the weather, it´s cold anyway we´ll find a way there to chime Optional verse: Doubt that I´m the one you´re dreamin´of, babe but in my arms you feel secure I love you my way, no maybe so I´ll hope we´ll find a cure Let’s get together and sail away don´t mind the weather, it´s cold night and day we´ll find a way there to chime fade away

Dani,
Been missing you around here but loving this Dani comeback song and your arrangement is just perfect for it. Always my pleasure to hear that big smooth voice. I like that progression too.

Very different for you in terms of instrumentation Dani, but still has your signature feel! I love the upbeat, positive feel. Really enjoyed it!! Good to hear from you again. Take care. Greg

Dani! Good to hear from you again!
Wow, this is a GOOD genre for you! I like this as well as or better than anything you've presented here in the past! I'm not sure I can articulate exactly what appeals to me about it, but I'll try
First of all, the product: You really did an outstanding job of using BIAB in all its glory! The chord progression is very pleasing and well laid out. The parts you chose work perfectly with the mood of the songs and the lyrics. The mix is clear to my ears, nothing muddy or incomplete about it.
But the thing that makes it the best I think is your easy-going style of singing. That genre has typically been dominated by singers like Bing Crosby, Dean Martin etc whose claim to fame is their relaxed style. In that regard, it's almost as though you're the latest member of the rat pack!
I'm duly impressed! I hope you enjoy your sailing trip to Stockholm! Make more music for us when you get back!

Hi Dani,
your absence here on the forum means you were busy with other things and I have a clue. Your new song sounds rather positive and happy. Wish you a nice trip and some good song ideas as a result.

Hi, Tommy !:))
Lol ! Yes, we will try and
stay as warm as possible !
We will have subzero temps
I guess, but I have my car
with me so it really does not
make any difference, especially
now when I´ve already changed
to winter tyres !!!!:))
Tommy, ol´friend, thanks for
your nice words and take care !!
Cheers
Dani

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!
