The understated anthemic feel...love it! I keep feeling like it's going to burst out into something much bigger, the the instrumental break happens; and it returns back to the other feel. I really like how you did that.

Really nice song!

Great lyrics. I especially like your extended metaphor. Great use of the instrumentation to establish a corresponding mood to mesh with the lyrics.

Bob,

Love your vocal here . . . and, well, on every song you sing for that matter—really engaging; you have your own, really worldly sound. Production is just killer, particularly the guitar in between the second and third verses—really crisp. Lyrics are poetic, with a superb hook. Incredibly well done! Enjoyed this a ton!

Kind regards,

Deej

I enjoyed it, I thought of Death Cab taking a Goth turn. Moody deluxe, which it has to be if you're gonna name a song Vampires. Great job!

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.
