Thank you for sharing!

Thanks Misha for your always positive feedback smile "Outsider Pop" - I don't know what it exactly means but I love that, I feel like an outsider when it comes to listening and making music smile Thanks for that invention, I'll use it in the future wink

with "loud" I meant that when I had my songs in a playlist, this song started loudest and I had to lower the volume.

Janne,
You already have many comments on the happy danceable sound you`ve made- I like that bouncy chorus too. Nice mix of EDM & Rt`s.
I found the lyrics a fun take on what desperate measures the love crush can lead to: " crochet curtains for your bedroom" that`s one that brought a chuckle... nearly been there!
Good to hear you once again trying a new style.

Robert

Thanks for sharing smile

The very strong melody really carries the song well and is memorable.
Well done!
J&B


Thanks Janice and Bud for your kind comment smile Nice to hear that you find the melody strong and memorable - usually I don't remember lyrics of my songs, but in this case I do quite easily, maybe it is because the melody itself is so memorable smile

Sounds good to me, I like the guitar in the intro, good way to start things off, nice solo too.

Thanks Deej for your kind words smile Nice to get feedback also for the song title, it is important part of the song, for getting attention. Dreams are usually difficult to describe in words, so this dreamy song cannot be fully explained, but I'm glad it worked for you smile

That bar of excellence that you keep on setting for yourself just gets higher and higher with each production!
All the best,

Thanks Noel, you are just too kind with your words laugh I'm really glad you enjoyed the song from start to end smile

Thanks Greg for your kind feedback smile I read my notes that I actually made this song as a counterpart for a previous song which had only minor chords - this one has only major chords (of course some inversions may sound bit minor), so that's why it's so upbeat.

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.
