Hi all. Ive tried to give this tune the most retro feel I could.
With cheesy style lyrics and even a short time duration.
I feel I have succeeded. You guys be the judge.
All comments welcome. Rob

Im Sorry

I'm Sorry
Your the one to break my heart.
There's nothing I can do.
You are the one to break my heart and make me feel so blue.

Now's the time to say I'm sorry and start things all a new.
I hope you find it in your heart oh please say you do.

I don't want to be alone and go on with out you.

Rob,
I want to go on record as saying that this is a GREAT style for you! You already have the Elvis voice nailed... and when somebody finds the kind of success that Elvis did, everybody jumps on the bandwagon and tries to duplicate it.

In Elvis' case his crooning style and unique vibrato got copied across the board by other artists in that period... and the fact that you have it NAILED sets you up to reproduce just about anything from that period!

You may wonder if there's a market for that, but I'd suggest that if you approached retirement communities with an offer to perform the songs that their residents grew up listening to, they'd jump on it! So many bands approach these venues expecting to perform their usual set list (which are typically NOT a good match for the residents)

Retirement communities typically have a budget for entertainment. Just sayin'. (You do this SO WELL!! GREAT song! You totally captured the period's signature sound!)

This is a great 'retro' sound. Stunning vocals

I really enjoyed this one.


BTW, I've picked up an inexpensive metal detector and prepping for some hunting.

Hi Patt. I always look forward to you in depth and well thought out comments.
I have explored that area in the past with some success.
Thanks for the great advice and encouragement.

Hahahaha!

That quotes really sets the scene. I bet you get tired of the Elvis thing...but smile
it's really more of the vibe and certainly not an impersonator thing. Yeah
the vocal timbre and phrasing is similar but you really have your own sound.
And it works with a generous variety of material including this production.

Nailed indeed.

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.
