My song is so sad it's the first to have "Sad" in its title..... My Sad Story A few may notice this is a remix of the original that to add to the overall "sadness" of the song, was a finalist to a Taxi placement in a movie but was rejected due to some poor production decisions I made but have since corrected.

Great subject for a song challenge. +++ Lilly Cries +++ is not my song. However the song is co-written by and performed by a Band-in-a-Box user.

Well I have a good sad song. I have the lyrics and melody and chords...but I am having trouble getting it into the box. I played this song with my granddaughter and she started crying before we even got half way through the song. I titled it "Little Dog's Girl". I have been checking out the new Real Tracks like "Real Tracks 278", which is Ooohs And Aaahs. And man.. right now is when I could use some of those real tracks. Has any one on this forum used them in a composition yet?
If you have ever listened to "He stopped Loving Her Today" by George Jones ...the Ooohs and aaahs along with the pedal steel and the harmonica alone make me feel like crying.
Anytime I cover this song around my Mom, she starts crying. Actually every time I do it she starts crying. I have to play "Boot Scoot Boogie" to get her to stop crying.
I know I seem like a meany for making them cry... but that is what a good sad song will do...but they love it and come back for more..
I would like to post my song but I haven't got it to fit "Band in a Box" yet. I may have to use a minimum of real tracks to get it to work.
And also I am digging the tunes that the rest you guys are posting.....really good songs coming in here.

Dave,
Do you have any Prozac you can send me? This one has pushed me over the edge.
I'm standing on the edge of a bridge.

My entry: FOOTSTEPS IN THE HALL Being haunted by someone who isn't there anymore.
You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

Oh yeah I like this song...I got a tingle..This is the the best one I have heard on here in the "Sad Song" category so far. And there are some good ones. I could feel the lyrics..they spoke to a place I have been before. And the construction of instruments are well placed and timed just right to keep the feel alive. Good Job on this one. C. Dan

Is it bad to say that I am really enjoying these sad songs so far and that I want to see more? I feel like that's a bad thing for me to want, especially because some of them seem pretty personal. But they're just so good.
Cheers,
Ember

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)!
