The change for the third verse is perfectly timed.
Nice song, all your elements worked really well and brought the BIAB components to life.
I can imagine that outro solo building and building in a live setting.
Cool stuff.
Cheers

Very nice Peter and Leon!
Nice harmonics to start things off.
Always enjoy Leon's lyrics and vocal, also really like your vocal contributions on this one.
Tasteful leads and I like your tone too, a little less distortion than you normally use I think.
A good listen!

Peter & Leon,
A nice write.
Nice arrangement. The simpler middle section is a nice touch. Works well.
A really good mix. The bass is nice and punchy, with good definition. The drums are crisp and clear. The acoustic is at a good level to allow the vocals to sit where they should...
Enjoyed the listen.

Peter & Leon,
Doctor’s telling me I might be too tightly wound
Couldn’t hurt to stop and have a look around
I like that message and the slightly sardonic way Leon sounds singing them.A little Dylanesque to my hearing.
The strummed guitar carries the relaxed rocking feel.
Really good intro & outro accents and solo also.
Taking it down a notch is working well!
Robert

Great work Peter and Leon! I found this quite immersive and the switch up in the later half of the song works very well! Thanks for sharing!

Nice work on this one Love the progressions, and the vocals were a standout to me. A solid throwback to a classic country style. I loved the switch up on the last verse too. Kept it sounding really fresh and engaging. Thanks for sharing!
Cheers,

I liked the vocals most of all, reminds me of someone, maybe Jim Seals of Seals and Crofts. Good work on the song and its production.

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.
Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.
Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!
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.
