Gonna Post this while I can. I'll be over tonight to catch up on listens as much as possible. Di's been at the doctor or hospital more than at home the past 10 days or so, So I've been pretty much absent lately. I got up about 3:30 this morning and put this together. About 5 hours total invested in this. Di said she thought this is something Bob Seger might have done. That's cool! Thanks in advance to all who drop in for a listen.

David, BMI (v1) The sky gets gloomy, as the clouds roll in That’s when I know, you’re back in town in again The thunder rattles, and the leaves begin to shake The wind starts swirling, and frost begins to form Then lightning crackles, you’re the perfect storm The ground starts trembling, just like an earthquake CHORUS And when you left, I thought that was goodbye But now I know, I told myself a lie You made me hurt, and you treated me like dirt Oh I wish I didn’t love you But baby I still do (v2) Don’t know the reason, I can’t explain Why I still love you, when you caused me all that pain God only knows, why I wish you’d never gone I hear my heart, then I listen to my head They say forget you, find another love instead But I just can’t find a way, a way for moving on CHORUS And when you left, I thought that was goodbye But now I know, I told myself a lie You made me hurt, and you treated me like dirt Oh I wish I didn’t love you But baby I still do INSTRUMENTAL VERSE CHORUS And when you left, I thought that was goodbye But now I know, I told myself a lie You made me hurt, and you treated me like dirt Oh I wish I didn’t love you But baby I still do TAG Baby I still do

Alan, it is amazing what can happen in 5 hours when this program is in the hands of a gifted songwriter and musician. I love the slide guitar and I'm always up for a steel solo. Good write as well as your usual high quality production. Tell Di I hope she feels better, Tom

Good write as well as your usual high quality production. Tell Di I hope she feels better, Tom Hi Tom, You are much too kind ... thank you very much. I'm pretty happy with it as is. If I were to change anything, I would probably bring the drums slightly more forward in the mix. It's a touch raw, but I'm okay with that. Am glad you enjoyed it! Thanks again, Alan PS: I'll pass your kind words on to Di. She'll appreciate them as I do. She's really struggling right now.

Alan,
Your vocals on this are a standout - a little edgier than I`ve heard from you before, and with a nice Dylanesque attitude.
Its a good rocking tune as well - amazing that you got really close to a final mix in just 5 hours.
My best wishes to you and Di,
Robert

Robert Robert, Thanks so much! I appreciate all that. As far as the vocal, I don't have a real good singing voice, so I decided to use a different approach on this ... add a little grit to it. Good to hear it makes a difference! Thanks for your kind wishes for Di. She's really struggling with her health issues. Wishing you the very best, Alan & Di

Nice song. It does have a bit of a Bob Seager vibe to it. The instrumental sounds great and i like the raspy tone of you voice. Nice steel guitar solo too.

Alan,
Wow! Five hours! That's incredible. In five hours, I'd be lucky to have put together the first draft of lyrics. I'm very impressed.
What I also find incredibly impressive is that, not so long ago, you said that you use your backings exactly as they come from BIAB, without any tailoring them. Is that true of this backing too? It truly sounds excellent.
Everything you've done here from writing, through to performing and producing is top notch and each component sits perfectly comfortably with all other components. I found this a most enjoyable listen.
I'm sorry to hear that Di's journey continues to be challenging. Please let her know that I'm channelling heaps of southern hemisphere healing thoughts her way.
All the very best of everything to you both,
Noel

Noel Hi Noel, Thanks so much. I really appreciate all those very kind words. It took me about 45 minutes to write the lyric. I only changed two lines after I scribbled the initial lyric. I think the fact I also write novels gives me a small advantage with lyric writing. One day I realized that the lyric to many songs, particularly country and folk, is a novel in 100 words or less. I just learned to change 85 words into 85,000 words! I tried three different band styles and settled on the one you hear. That took about twenty minutes. Then I had to decide on a melody and what instruments to use. the chord progression came pretty easy - about half an hour of chord inputting and making minor adjustments to them. I tinkered with the specific instruments I wanted for about an hour and a half. Then I listen to the music I'd created, over and over for about an hour in order to get a feel for it. I then put the vocal to it. I recorded the vocal three times and this is the one I chose (my second attempt). I did a final mix in audacity. And you are correct - what you hear is directly off the BIAB chord input page. I "massage" the instruments there until I'm happy. Actually, that's the most time-consuming element of the project. I spent an hour doing just that. The only disappointment I have doing that way is the limited number of tracks available to me. But I overcome that by making a second recording with the some of the backing tracks deleted and then replaced by the additional instruments I want. I then load both sets of tracks into Audacity and line then up perfectly. When I play them as such, I get the full sound I want and, in my opinion, it sounds about as good as I can do with a formal DAW. Everything you hear is created, massaged and arranged BIAB and then transferred to Audacity. Again, I did all that in about 5 hours. I know it sounds like a lot of work but it is a smooth process for me. I probably told you more than you would care to know, but that's my process. And thank you for the kind wishes for Di. She's really struggling right now. I'll be sure to pass them on to her. We both appreciate your kindness. Wishing you well, Alan & Di

I'm delighted you caught that "edginess' in my voice. that was intentional as I don't naturally have a raspy voice - I have to induce it as I sing. Everyone seems to like it so maybe I'll keep working with it and see what i can do. Thanks again! Alan

Good morning, David! Tis always a treat to hear from you. I anticipate your reviews. Glad you liked it - thanks for letting me know. Someone else, not a member here, told me they thought it sounded like Mel McDaniel trying to do a Bob Seger imitation. I can live with that! I don't know if you know Mel McDaniel or not but he's a real nice guy. Kind of quiet but polite and respectful. Wishing you a great Sunday. Also, Thanks for the kind wishes for Di. We appreciate that so much! Alan & Di

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!
