Hey mon, we like this! Janice said it gave her "happy feet." She reserves that for only certain tunes  No doubt somebody somewhere out in the galaxy has used BiaB to create loops but this is assuredly the first appearance on the forum. So how cool is that!? Just reading the productions notes makes our heads spin. Amazing. The higher register vocal works for sure on this! The "take it several ways" lyric is mega clever. All is good...actually great! J&B

Floyd, you certainly did yourself and BiaB proud with this track. The lyrics are an inspiration. They encourage us to break out and dig deeper into the mysteries of the program, music in general. Your liner notes, snapshot, and screen shot are more than worth the price of admission, demonstrating the high degree of skill required to produce such a work. In the end, it is your thoughts that will endure. Incidentally, there is a great YouTube called, "Producers HATE ME for Revealing these 10 Secrets," one of several that discusses looping, but an exceptional one. Seen it? (07:00) Thanks, Ed. That was an interesting video - though nothing earth-shattering - mostly just common sense... Yep yep yep yep yep! I like like like like like like! Loops are fun, and this song was a lot of fun to listen to. Super clever, but as usual, you've crafted it by adding an emotional core. Thanks for the peek behind the curtain as well! "peak behind the curtain" HA! There might be a song there.... thanks, David...

I was interested in how you'd use the loops - I had visions or nightmares having the DAW do the looping process but now I see, from your excellent image, that it's loops as "blocks" - assembled.
If it's good enough for Brian Wilson it's fine by me.
the song is fresh, effective and the hidden message is fun too.
Great stuff. Thanks, ray. "Loops" is used in a general sense these days for any recorded clips one might use, create, buy for use in music production (as opposed to the actual act of setting up a loop in a DAW - but many of the loops created for that purpose are, in fact, created in a DAW loop and then exported as a audio clip - to use as building blocks. Turns out that the new BIAB plugin is a great tool to use in that capacity. I did not think I would ever use it, but I've been working another "loop" type production - and tried it out. It is quite cool!! This reminds me of "Somewhere Over The Rainbow", the Israel Kamakawiwo'ole version - and this is meant as a MASSIVE compliment! What a brilliant job! Sincerest congratulations! Made me smile throughout - and that way of ending it is a stroke of genius :-) Great, great job. Thanks, James. I appreciate that...

Brave Man ..Although you do have a wild streak in your work at times.
But this time you went wild, I enjoyed it and found it to be educational and experimentally refreshing, the vocals on the chorus are good and prove to a certain degree, IT CAN BE DONE IN BIAB.
I think you have proved a point Floyd , Enjoyed it .
But not as well as I have enjoyed your past posts/songs.
Although it was a fun listen !!.
Thanks Thanks, beatmaster... just stretching a bit, ya know...

There's a lot of nifty cool experimentation on the forun these days...
And I love it!
Good job Floyd...
I think you have broken the mold...
And have truly written a "modern" country song using Biab! Thanks, Jim... floyd,
Nice song!
The melody is very catchy.
It's amazing that you didn't make me feel that you made it only with loops.
A good song is a good song regardless of how it is made.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.
Shigeki Adachi Shigeki Adachi - I do appreciate that... Floyd,
Some really impressive production touches on this . . . but let’s start first with the song: Really engaging . . . that clap really gets the toe tapping. And your vocal is so soft and smooth on this—reminds me of an 80’s ballad. But that chorus production is really cool . . . not sure if that’s delay, multiple tracks or a combination of the two, but a slick sound. And love the ending. Cool tune!
Kind regards,
Deej
Deej - thanks for that fine review....

That's a reggae tune my friend! You turned it out in nice fashion! VERY clever use of background vocal tricks in the chorus! Great job Floyd! Thanks, Torrey. Thanks, Torrey. It wasn't intended to be a reggae tune. The combination of tracks just made it sound that way... First time I've heard you sing something other than country, it was great! Wouldn't mind at all hearing more like this. And of course the acronymic tribute was a sentiment I'm sure we all share! TuneMonger - Thanks! Yep yep yep yep yep! I like like like like like like! Loops are fun, and this song was a lot of fun to listen to. Super clever, but as usual, you've crafted it by adding an emotional core. Thanks for the peek behind the curtain as well! Floyd, What David said covers it- the vocal on verses is very connected to a good feeling. Not entirely sure about the processing on chorus vocals but looking forward to digging into how you created the loops. Robert Thanks for listening, Robert... just trying some different stuff all around..

Wow. Your skill developing your songs just amazes me. Vocal and lyric were excellent. The capabilities of this software is pretty mind blowing as well Thanks, Scott. Yes, BIAB is amazing - and most of us use less than 10% of it (much like our brains! HA!) Wow, man! This is wild, Floyd. Amazing what one can do with just loops --well, not everyone. Great explanation, too. Really cool song. Thanks for making this place a better place to learn. Thanks for the nice comments, Marty... Hi Floyd,
looks like 'floydish' doesn't really apply to this killer production - I'm still undecided which one does, but right now I tend to either 'floopish', 'fleative' or possibly 'flexperimental'...
After 'Dangerous' showed me (Ok, I haven't known you as long as others have) a side of yours I had not known this one really knocked me off my feet.
Very, very flool, eh, cool - liked it a lot.
Take care,
Stefan HAHAHA! Stefan - thanks for the very entertaining reply!!! Hello Floyd,
You keep surprising me. First a bunch of whiskey songs and now a rum drenched reggealike song.
And only made with loops!
Very very nice. The only thing that I would have added if it was my song is a steel band in some places. There is one in BB.
But without that it still is a good song :-)
Hans Glad you enjoyed this, Hans... Thanks for the steel drums suggestion, however...this was not intended to be a reggae song (and steel drums would make it seem even more so )
