Copying over from the contest page....
Listens appreciated & comments welcome.

Into the Badlands...with a little acid added to the rockabilly.
The surf guitar (@ half time) & harp are additions to the style.
A big struggle with the vocals here as I used Nectar2 for the first time & found my laptop quickly overloaded by the cpu requirement.

Style is _BADLAND.STY (Badland Baritone Rockabilly)

Nomad of the Heart

wouldn`t you like to ride
said the clown with toad eyes
ride around the mirrorball of heaven?
he took me by surprise
changing horses at the time
at the last 7-11

back then she was all the rage
a psychic doctor named Sage
chose me to ascend with the Master
it might have been the sun
but in her eyes I saw a gun
with one bullet in the chamber

oh father, is it time?
to go to that big empty in the desert and the bars
where wolves circle in a forest of stars
time to be a nomad
a nomad of the heart

I met a girl named Hourglass
it seemed strange but I let it pass
and for me she danced the whirlwind
I thought I`d found the promised land
when I saw her counting grains of sand
as around her room we`d spin

out below this big blue curve
there`s some truths you gotta swerve
the vultures are wearing suits and collars
but I don`t think the flood will wait
`til make all that`s crooked straight
and I gave that clown my last dollar

oh father, is it time?
to go to that big empty in the desert and the bars
where wolves circle in a forest of stars
time to be a nomad
a nomad of the heart

"the vultures are wearing suits and collars"

There are some really interesting images in this, Robert.

Cool title.

A good listen. The harmonica competes with the vocal in a few spots - you might pull it down in those spots...

Thanks for your comments, Floyd.
I had made a note about the harp levels and then didn`t go back to it,so I appreciate your heads up.

Bob,
Glad you liked it - not my usual style on the vocals, but I enjoyed trying to sound a little Dylanesque!

Really nice. Has a real Johnny Cash feel to it (if you had a deeper voice) smile

Like everyone has said, a lot of imagery here.

Enjoyed it.

Kenny,

Glad you liked it.
A few less guns than those movies, but I enjoyed writing some weirdness into the lyrics.

Thanks J&B,
I appreciate you saying the production sounds ok. The process feels like quicksand to me, but if I ever get out and have some time I`d like to try my hand at that video idea.

Music for the spaghetti western movie 'Harry Potter goes Back to the Future'.

I really liked this as I am big fan of SYFY and Fantasy books and movies. Great lyrics here as well as super backing tracks and mix.


My goal this weekend is to move just enough each day so that no one pokes me to see if I'm dead or not.

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.
