If I Fall In Love With You OKAY - POSTED THE CORRECT LYRIC FOR THIS VERSION. DUH!!! Another medium tempo big band swing song reminiscent of the 1940s and 1950s. Lots of horns and a nice steady rhythm. Perhaps similar to something Sinatra might have recorded. The vocal comes across a little bit louder on Soundcloud than it does on my original tracks - not much but a bit. I guess it has something to do with their compression process. Thanks for listening and any comments you might care to leave.

Alan,
That's really well done. Great job with the horns - they are perfect for this. Everything about this fits the era...

Alan,
You own this style! This should be picked upby a modern day crooner like Michael Buble.
Super smooth and very enjoyable.

Really nice work here, Alan  You can tell it comes from a sincere spot, and I love how smooth it sounds. Someone else mentioned Michael Buble's name - I absolutely agree with them! From the vocal performance, to the arrangement, to the trumpet solo - I don't think I'd change a thing here. Thanks so much for sharing this!
Cheers,
Deryk

fj Thanks so much, Floyd. Glad you enjoyed it. I took into consideration a lot of your comments on my previous. I think it came out much better than it might have because of your input ... thanks! I do "listen" to the comments folk make on my posts. I appreciate your suggestions, as I do other folks, very much. Wishing you and yours a great Thanksgiving. Alan

Robert Hi Robert, you are very kind with your comments. I appreciate it very much. Buble - that would work! if only .... I don't know if i "own" this genre or not, but I really enjoy it, both as a composer and listener. I love the fluidity and casual feel most common in this genre. thank you again. Wishing you and yours the very best. Alan

G'day Graham, Thank you so very much - I truly appreciate all those wonderful comments. As i mentioned to another commenter earlier, this is a real comfortable style for me. Even thought I'll soon be 71 years old, I've enjoyed Big Band Swing and ballads since prior to my teen years. Again, many thanks. Wishing you the very best, Alan

Nice croonin' and swingin'!
We watched an hour of Sinatra last week. Like this song we most enjoy him when there's a swing feel to it.
Two words come to mind regarding your production: cool and classy.
You have the horns right where they need to be...can't do that if you don't know the genre. Well done.
And your vocal works the melody just like it oughta for this style.
Yep, we like!

This song is very adorable. Were you feeling inspired by anything in particular? I agree that the music does sound quite a bit like something that Sinatra might have recorded. I didn't personally notice or mind the vocal volume on the soundcloud. I'm not sure what the originals sounded like, but I thought the volume on the vocals was quite perfect. Thanks for sharing!
Cheers,
Ember

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!
