Hey folks. Wanted to share this song sketch and express my gratitude for two dedicated members of this forum who helped me to shape it a bit. I believe they wanted to stay anonymous, so T & R Thank you! I know that this tune needs a clean rewrite as I tried to fix some things already in the mid of the project.... like exporting BIAB tracks centered and "dry" for example. Now I know better Time Is On Your Side
Me: Butcher style mixing + vocals. Band: 464: Bass Acoustic, Bossa 470: Piano Acoustic, Rhythm Bossa RealDrums: Bossa brushes 467: Guitar, electric , Rhythm Bossa 704: Flute, soloist Bossa 1595: Guitar , Acoustic, Fingerpicking 2293: Horn Section, Rhythm PopPads. Lyrics: In the fast lane where tides are moved by fashion They scream out loud, “You’re so fine, you’re so special.” They’re radically increasing sugar doses, They want you to believe That sheep are smarter than their bosses. Time is on your side, like the tongues of fire, oh so alive... There’s an elder gentleman sitting in the park Every day he sees the world is growing dark Silhouettes are disappearing into the night Like a ghost ship. Time is on your side, like the tongues of fire, oh so alive... There’s a homeless woman standing on the corner And mysteriously smiling like Da Vinci's Mona A few quarters are shinning like the stars In her coffee cup. Time is on your side, like the tongues of fire, oh so alive...

Hello,
This a really cool song! I really enjoyed my listen. I love the character of your vocal - full of life, fun and exciting. I can see this in a movie, given the appropriate scene.
I enjoyed it as is. There are other folks here who may have some technical advice for you that is beyond my knowledge. But, as I said - I really liked this a lot! The flute was a good choice - fits perfectly.
Best to you.
Alan

Hi Rustyspoon, This is quite excellent if I must say! The flute really adds a lot of interest to the piece. Solid progressions too. Well done!
Cheers, Joe

Lots of flow, emotion and enthusiasm in that vocal. Packed in a cool Latin song.

Really expressive and, like the lines suggests, so alive. A dark tale with a big positive vibe to carry it.

Good writing! Lots of great lines, I think my favorite is:
"There’s an elder gentleman sitting in the park Every day he sees the world is growing dark Silhouettes are disappearing into the night Like a ghost ship."
Very expressive vocal. Love that Bossa rhythm too!

I liked this as is, except for the ending...I th8nk you should take it out in an instrumental fade..the groove is infectious, so I wouldn’t let it stop so suddenly, just let it run out for about 12 bars, maybe with some flute soloing. Your lyric choices are always so inventive, and I enjoyed the idea you were conveying. Thanks for sharing!

Hello fellows. Thank you for awesome feedback!Tano, special thanks for a healthy critique. I know, form is my weakness. The problem is that whenever I get an idea, I rush into laying the tune out asap not thinking too much about the structure...just enough for the idea/message to be present. I have to make structure a habit Best regards, Misha.

Very nice piece of music! I didn't want it to end, so I a kind of agree with Tano Music, that an instrumental part in the end would have been even better.
Great work! Will

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option
Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!
Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!
For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.
Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.
