The Unforgettable Night I guess it's a universal experience that you have had an unforgettable night but when you wake up, you just can't remember what on earth happened  . This is a story about such a night. This song is my latest collaboration with Miira, we wrote the song together, I took care of the arrangement with BIAB and Miira sang her funky vocals. BIAB has very good selection of funky realstyles, so I have combined several of them together and then added some other RTs for extra spice. Loops: Chillout_teardrops_79dminor DirtySouth_layback_91 RealDrums: NewOrleansMardiGras RumbaPerc RealTracks: Acoustic Piano #2811 Electric Piano #2155 Electric Guitar #1637, #1638 Horns #2291, #2343 Organ #2619 Sax Tenor #1643 Synth Bass #2580 Vocals: Miira Other voices: Janne Mixed in Adobe Audition 2017. Lyrics: The night was hot that's why we got more than enough to drink. Swiping plastic so orgastic we just let it sink. All was well when we left the base the same old story, hangover case. The terrace closed we crawled around somehow the hotel was not found. Found ourselves in the rabbit hole It surely freed my tortured soul. I hurt my head on the concrete bed tender purring, no words were said Fallen angels a daring kiss squeezed into the sinful bliss. Knuckles with blood your broken tooth maybe my touch was not so smooth. We can barely remember what or where was our goal still backtracking the path to our rabbit hole. white lies for those who might ask the truth will stay behind the mask I guess we will never know but it must have been a hell of a rodeo. The purse was lost by the motorway later an Arab saved the day. Rolling down in the grass a story written on my a**. Shambling streets seven miles two adults drunk like juveniles. Bruises tell the strangest tale eye-witnessed by a nightingale. [Chorus] (Abducted by the UFOs or delirium, god only knows) [Chorus] We are filling the blanks where the mind wasn't bright isn't it ironic we call it the unforgettable night. ---------- Janne

Nice work, jannesan - as others mentioned, this one is quite "outside the box" if you will! Nice to hear some RealTracks getting use that you don't hear too often. Thanks for sharing!
Cheers,

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.

Plus, dedicated "cymbal fills" RealDrums provide an added layer that work very well with low-key folky styles with other percussion.
