A Journey That Never Ends © 2018 Alan D. David, BMI / Diana Randall, BMI (v1) Wherever the wind might blow That’s where I wanna go -Carefree got nothing to lose Always wearing my traveling shoes Got no problems, ain’t got a care Packed my Superman underwear Nothing to stop me or tie me down Going where I can’t be found CHORUS Life’s a journey that never ends Twists and turns and a few dead ends Might get lost a time or two +Or take a road with a different view Got no time to be worried or blue So much to see and do -I’m always chasing the wind Life’s a journey that never ends (v2) Going fast or taking it slow Don’t matter as long as I go -Keep moving on down the road Traveling light as the miles unfold Highway straight or curves ahead Smooth sailing or a bump instead There ain’t nothin’ gonna slow me down The next place is where I’m bound CHORUS Life’s a journey that never ends Twists and turns and a few dead ends Might get lost a time or two +Or take a road with a different view Got no time to be worried or blue So much to see and do -I’m always chasing the wind Life’s a journey that never ends (v3) My destination is always new Could be Dallas or Timbuktu Always different but still the same A new adventure just a different name -Going here and going there -With stories and memories to share -A big city or a country town My feet are always on new ground CHORUS Life’s a journey that never ends Twists and turns and a few dead ends Might get lost a time or two +Or take a road with a different view Got no time to be worried or blue So much to see and do -I’m always chasing the wind Life’s a journey that never ends

Al & Di,
Good to hear a happy song coming as a first for your new settup.
This is well written ( goes without saying really - good song construction is second nature for some!) and infectious.
That`s a cool nylon guitar track I haven`t heard before.
Very enjoyable music.
Robert

Hi Alan & Di,
Loved it !
A real feel-good song that just rolls along and asks to be played over and over.
There was a time when I tried living a bit like that, but eventually I found I liked
the old familiar things as well.
Super backing track and a perfect vocal - hey, if you can sing like that in one take, there's
no need to start tracking up!
Hope things are working out for you in the new space, my friend.
All the best, ROG.

All the best, ROG. Hi ROG, Thanks so much. This song is a bit autobiographical. I love traveling to places I've never been before. I've been so fortunate in that regard: 43 countries and all but two (Oregon & Hawaii) US states. I was unhappy with the vocal but didn't have time to do a retake. For some reason, I rushed the words "Might get lost a time or two" on all three choruses. I wanted to make that right. Still working on the "sound". The acoustics here leave a lot to be desired. I think the vocal "dynamics" sounded halfway decent but still need some tweaking - still looking for the right tone balance. I recorded the vocal and mixed it, then posted it in less than twenty minutes. So not a lot of technical prep. In other words - it's pretty raw! Many thanks. I appreciate the kind words. Di says "Hi!" Alan

Robert Hi Robert, Many thanks for those kind words! yeah, I discovered that nylon track by accident. I meant to grab a different one but accidentally clicked onto this one instead. Not unhappy about that mistake! Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for letting me know. Alan

Yes, I think the all acoustic back ups have a nice big, but subtle, feel. Thanks for the listen and great comments. Alan

Good song as usual, Alan! I always enjoy your lyrics, I have no skills whatsoever in that department and you do it so well.
Nice to see that you are at the point where you can start recording again!

Really nice work here Alan I like how easy going it sounds, and the groove is really nice too. Some really neat lyrics to boot, and the playful nature of the song really makes it a standout. Sometimes the world needs more fun and carefree music. You should be proud of this one - thanks for sharing!
Cheers,
Deryk

Nice one Al...sorry you missed the deadline but this type of tune is often requested... Much more so than the dark stuff I tend to write It would be great overhead music also. Nice and bouncy and upbeat and well done! Enjoyed it. J&B PS I wish I could write on demand -- just takes me waaaaaay too long.

Hi Dave, Thanks so much. Glad you enjoyed it. I still have 12 -14 songs with music finished but lyrics only partially finished, some no more than a single verse. But, in time! Thanks again. Alan PS: edited as follows - I had the music finished in one day - just wasn't able to record vocals until a couple of days ago.

Always a pleasure to hear from you - and the several other folks @ PG Music who visit the forum. The opportunity wanted a song much like you described. Sometimes I get lucky and get fairly close to the desired song. Other times, well ....! This was a fun song to do - enjoyed the entire process. Again, many thanks! Alan

43 countries!? I hope to get to be lucky enough to see that many. I was going to say this song sounded like it came from someone who was pretty well traveled, and then I saw that comment! I've only ever been to Florida (and going there again this late summer in September). I had barely seen Canada up until I moved from Ontario to BC. Took the train. It was pretty cool. 5 and a half days, 12 hours delayed both ways. But it was a really cool experience. I hope to get the chance to see that many countries someday.
Cheers,
Ember

Nice and bouncy and upbeat and well done! Enjoyed it. J&B PS I wish I could write on demand -- just takes me waaaaaay too long. Howdy Folks! Thank you very much! I need to redo the vocal, but other than that I'm pretty happy with the outcome. I just need to smooth out the vocal timing in places - maybe reduce the lower EQ a tad. As I edited my reply to Dave - the music was finished in about 22 hours and had the vocal written the following day. Couldn't record vocals until a couple of days ago. Otherwise, I'd have had ready in time for the opportunity. As far as writing on demand - I've been fairly lucky with that so far. I've had 2 placements on Songtradr, one on a different site and sold a work for hire several years ago ($600.00). Many thanks for the nice comments! Best to you & yours. Alan

Alan,
A very pleasant listen. Such a positive sentiment. A very nice combination of instruments - not sure I've heard anyone use that guitar before - perfect for this.
Glad to hear y'all are getting settled in. Hope that all goes well for you.

fj Thanks so much, Floyd. Yeah, we could use a little more positive. There's enough negative in the world to go around several times. Glad you enjoyed it. And, as I told a previous reviewer (Dave, I think), I happened into that guitar track by accident. Glad I did! Best to you. Alan

Wow! Love it! It sounds so authentic all the way around. I love the groove from the get go; but then your vocal solidified the whole thing. I love the feel you are are singing with. My goodness; I'll be listening to this many times. Such a cool song! Btw, for "one and done" and having just moved; I would never have known. In my opinion, you did a really impressive job. Keep 'em coming please!

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!
