We must've posted well over 100 songs on this forum and 99% of them were recorded with BIAB. Here's an older recording of a couple years before I discovered BIAB.
It's me on my Squier Strat and Fender acoustic. I did the solo on a custom-made guitar Anne-Marie had lying around at home. The video, which was professionally created by Anne-Marie can be considered a precursor of the current Video Real Tracks
Hope y'all like it.

We are Rob Meulman and Anne-Marie Bovenkamp from The Netherlands.
A woman once wrote down on a piece of paper for me the word "intimacy". And then, she re-wrote it thusly: "In-to-me, see". In other words, true intimacy (non-sexual, that is) between lovers is a measure of the degree to which each of them will commit to learn all that they can discover about the other. I believe that can only be done by getting rid of as much of one's ego as is humanly possible, which for most of us I would think is a fantastically challenging thing to attempt. The subject of your song seems to have failed that test in the past, and apparently admits to it:
"There she was She caught up with my yesterdays..."
But then, paraphrasing your lyrics, he rises above, doesn't let anything get in his way, doesn't hold back, and sees just who she is. And when her "love comes down on" him, well, its just a miraculous, transformative thing to behold. The sound of your mutliple guitars is grand and affirmative, like a benediction shining down on him. That's what it sounded like to me, at least.
Entranced,
LOREN (a.k.a. "bluage")
P.S. I think the split-screen design of the video is very effective in showing you off as an accomplished one-man band !!!

"Music is what feelings sound like."-- borrowed from a Cakewalk Music Creator forum member, "Mamabear".
Loved this tune. What a cool vocal. This is my favorite style of music. Mix was perfect. |Your guitar was so good. Excellent playing. Loved the solo. I have a new favorite ofd yours
I really enjoyed this! It somewhat reminded me of Chris Isaak. The vocal processing is so good. I really like this - a terrific song with equally terrific presentation. Very, very nice!
Really nice work on this I actually liked what the drum machine added here. It gave it a lot of drive, and helped it flow nicely. Love the tones in the guitar as well.
I really love this!! What guitar effects are you using for the solo? (Love that guitar by the way.)
You know what this reminds me of? The Psychedelic Furs. You even sound a little like Richard Butler on this, or would have if you had smoked two packs before the session.
I have an idea for your next tune as well.
Isn't she... Pretty in pink....
Just a thought man.

Rob, A very cool flashback that shows guitar chops I didn`t realise you have and a moodier side to your songwriting which I really like. Excellent vocal and video as always!
I think that this video well expressed your greatness as a musician. It is very difficult to make music to this level without BIAB. But you have done it very well. Excellent vocal and guitars! Enjoyed my listen and watch a lot.
It's hard if not possible to add to Loren's comments on the lyric.
The mood you set with the write, guitar and vocals is a bit different from your later productions. That and your guitar showcase another side of RnAM that we have seen/heard.
We love it.
To throw out an over used word...it's hypnotic. Once you are drawn in you stay and then come back for another helping.
Excellent!!!
