Hi Fred. Wow. Sounded like the Beatles when it first started. LOVED the harmonies. Did you do them yourself? Great job. We want more...I was just about to ask if the was all BIAB and then I saw that you did the solo guitar. Hi Joanne, The Beatles!! What a great compliment! Thanks for listening  I just love to do harmonies, and this song was made for it! See you around Fred
Hi
very good rock song.
nice chords and nice voice too right for this kind of music
It remembers me a style like "the Byrds" sound.
Very well.
Hello.
Sergio, Thanks for your kind commenting and the Byrds comparison. They were masters in harmonies! Hi Fred,
I really enjoyed this lost Beatles song!
Great vocals and harmonies.
Especially liked the bridge.
Nice guitar playing.
Guenter Yep Guenter, Paul must have lost it somewhere I am a great fan of McCartney, in and after his Beatles days. So... thank you very much!!!

Fred,Fred, what can I say? I certainly see a Beatle influence BUT and a big BUT you sound as good as, if not better than, The Rutles I really, really enjoyed the listen I liked the homo sapiens picture  We had an initial drawing, but never used, for my old band CONMEN!!! but the other way round  Alyn Hi Alyn, The Rutles! I loved their movie. I didn't know they had a fan page though, thanks for the link. Funny we had the same idea of a band picture all those years ago. See you! Hi Fred,
A really nice rock song that made us get into the groove almost immediately!
The song sounds solid in every way. We especially like the backing vocals! Really features that 60's/70's sound.
Funny to see your song's specifics in Dutch!
Rob and Anne-Marie Rob and Anne-Marie Thank you both for your kind comments. You are such great backing and lead vocalists, that this compliment to me is HUGE The dutch specifics add something exotic to our BIAB entries, don't they? F Great playful lyrics! Great sound!!
much enjoyed! Lawrence, thanks for passing by and commenting, had a great time assembling it myself I really envy people who can carry a tune, where's the app for that? Great harmonies, well written and performed. Catchy song. Will, You can carry a tune, you can enhance your confidence with some auto tune software, and then... just do it! You have got the skills! Hey Fred.
That is a SUPERB track. Loved every minute of it.
The vocals are just perfect and you've got a great balance between the lead vox and the harmonies.
Everything hangs together in the mix and the track plays really LOUD without sounding over-compressed which is the sign of good engineering.
Wonderful song!
ROG. Rog, thanks four your comments, especially on the engineering part. You are a master in production, so I value this greatly. On my last one, Heaven and Hell, I over-compressed the piano. There is much to learn, and I'm learning with every song, thanks to your, and our fellows contributions

Fred,
This is spectacular. Your production is stellar. You are quickly rising to the top... This is so nicely laid out... like a Nick Lowe production... it reminded me of The Knack. Or Badfinger... Super. Your "sense of Pop" is brilliant.
Stellar vocals. Nice, simple guitar solo that fits the song perfectly.
Several listens. It deserves that.
T O P.... N O T C H
(Great mix, too!)
Stellar!
floyd floyd jane... I'm really, really humbled reading these comments... I bought BIAB in december, just to revive some old songs. However, this is becoming much larger than just a hobby. For the moment I still use older songs, or idea's to practice with BIAB. But new material will be arriving next year or so. For the moment there still is so much to learn and I certainly don't feel like I'm up there... yet So please, keep the songs and the comments coming, I'm learning with each of everyone's contributions. Thanks for investing your time! Fred Fred, Absolutely fantastic. Very Beatlesque. Love the vocals. The overall production is outstanding. The perfect guitar solo. Your best post to date. Very Strong! Tom Tom, thank you for listening and commenting. Your comment on the guitar solo is flattering, I'm glad with it. On my solo's, I'm just trying to stay within my limits See you around Fred

Great tune!! Love that vintage Brit sound. I have never heard real tracks sound more "live". Excellent job with everything (write, vocals, arrangement). Thoroughly enjoyed it!! Take care. Greg Greg, Thanks for taking time to listen, comment and support. I'm also a fan of that Brit rock sound. See you around! Fred It's been said above and I agree -- very
Beatlesque and the harmony absolutely
nails that feel.
The write, the vocals, the arrangement,
the guitar playing, the RT choice
and the mix are all top notch.
And it kicks on my monitors!
There's a huge amount to like here.
J&B Janice and Bud, It's always a great pleasure seeing you commenting on my work. You're to kind I love what you both do, and I am learning from your top productions. See you both around! Fred

I didn't read any of the former posts.... so...
This is cool... it has a British style guitar rock band sound.
Badfinger comes to mind as the influence I hear in this.
The vocal harmonies are especially well done.
Nice work on the solo guitar. Well done.
You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

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.
