First song of 2018. Happy Year Year y'all.

Come Set Me Free
By David Snyder

V1

What if the universe was only just a day
Would we still choose to spend our time this way
I know that this is not what we were meant to be
We cannot let this world control our destiny

CH

Oh Innocence come set me free, come set me free
And show me what true love can really mean

V2

If we were strong we would stand up against these walls
I know our dreams can’t really be this small
I know that this is not what we were meant to be
We were supposed to love even our enemies

CH

Oh Innocence come set me free, come set me free
And show me what true love can really mean

Bridge

Midnight worries won’t you flee
To morning bright and fair
I miss the beauty of the truth
And the sunlight in her hair

CH

Oh Innocence come set me free, come set me free
And show me what true love can really mean
Like ocean winds wake up the trees, wake up the trees
Like morning comes up a fragile breeze

Oh innocence come set me free
Oh innocence come set me free
Oh innocence come set me free

The sound of the 80's in the 2018's.

This is really good. Love the vibe in this one. Super vocals and backing tracks with outstanding lyrics.

Great job on this one.

David,

A different and cool sound to begin the year. I really enjoyed the synth swirling behind your vocals and the positive message... oh, and the nod to one of my favourite singers!

Great lyrics, and a little Steve Winwood influence goes a long way. (I saw him in concert a few years ago, awesome!)

Strong song to start off the year, David!

“If we were strong we would stand up against these walls
I know our dreams can’t really be this small

Stronger than a garlic milkshake!

Lots to ponder Mr Snyder and wrapped in a cool production.

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.
