A man past his best before date, a younger woman: file under Ambiguous Love Song.
Listening now I realise there`s an oldster mistake in the lyrics ( a line which, as sung, means the opposite of the intended meaning).
A full refund if you spot it!

Lost Cause

forever fixing broken things
she came upon a pair of wings
with blue sky scraps
stronger faith than facts
to offer to the world

last year`s man shuffles to the bell
doesn`t want what they have to sell
each breath inhaled
tips his scales
before the fall there was a girl

with her foot in the door
she left him wanting more
a feather for a lost cause

feels good to let go his cane
on the back of her Honda Hurricane
her waist is cut
like the key to his lock
holding tight into the blur

cross the counter in the Dairy Queen
she wants to know how he`s been
you`ve seen enough
mirror says as much
to make believe in pure

with her foot in the door
she leaves him wanting more
a feather for a lost cause


he has the watch she has time
will you find a design
the ways of mercy applaud

with her foot in the door
she leaves him wanting more
a feather for a lost cause

More great lyrics, my favorite verse is the one about the motorbike. I'm guessing the oldster thing is 'before the fall' but I'm not putting any money on it. I always look forward eagerly to your work here on the forum.

Excellent lyrics and vocal! The guitar and percussion set the tone for this song perfectly. Great mix also.

A good narrative and a lovely backing.
The little motif played by the horns (?) sounds synthetic though.
I was hoping there'd be another of your robust vocals but the theme isn't quite for it.


Cheers

Very good, Robert!

Nice vocals, especially when you bring in the harmonies. I like the track too, Congas are very effective.

I listened closely while reading the lyrics but didn't spot the oldster mistake, so no refund for me! wink

Wow, Robert. Great lyric and vocal to a song that takes the listener away. And, if they're lucky, they learn something about themselves when they get there. Well done!


Enjoy whatever happens!

Robert,

I really liked this!

Excellent lyric. Nice melody. A story well told...

So many good lines:

"forever fixing broken things
she came upon a pair of wings
with blue sky scraps..."

"her waist cut
like the key to his lock..."

"you`ve seen enough
mirror says as much..."

"he has the watch she has time..."

...to mention a few.

Cool backing (had a similar thought to ray on the horns...)

Thanks RayC,
Soon the Scott/Robert songs will be on their own site so you`ll know when to expect a rockier vocal.
This is my first try at using horns- couldn`t find a solo that wasn`t taking over the song & even this ensemble track seemed unwilling to play some chords without devolving into what sounded like a synth flute.
If anyone has a suggestion for a better background horns RT, please pass it on.

Robert

Very impressive. Thought the bass sounded really nice, well sung and composed.

As usual a strong lyric.

Nicely done.

Dave,
I appreciate your approval of vocals and harmonies- thank you!
Looks like no winners on the lyric question, so to explain:

you`ve seen enough
mirror says as much
to make believe in pure

sounds like his years of experience have made him trusting when he`s more of a suspicious old guy!
Oh well, I did say Ambiguous Love Song, so I`ll leave it.

Robert, this is an awesome song. LOVE the guitars in the right & left hand. Wonderful lyrics, and the minor key really sets it off. Try using strings rather than the horns ? I find midi strings are still more superior to the biab own RT strings. No idea what synths you have at your disposal but personally I can see past reason, such a vast array of choirs & strings at your disposal there, anyway great song and oh as the others have said, the congo drums were an inspired choice !

Hi Robert,

Your song is sweet and subdued. Your singing is at the same time intense and subtle. It feels as an acceptance of the lost cause. Very well done! The horns fit very nice in the song. I hadn't expected that, because horns are so expressive. They could easily spoil the mood of the song. At least in my opinion of course.

At first glance/hearing I thought you were out of tune when singing: "with her foot in the door...etc", then I heard it was needed there. But it was an exciting twist. And I remembered you used this kind of singing in more of your beautiful songs.

In my guess of what ambiguity you meant it's the line: "feels good to let go his cane", but it could be your clever written lyrics play tricks with me...

Really great work here - very well composed and your vocals are tremendous here. It sounds ready for the radio too, and the instrumentation works with your voice perfectly.

Great job and thanks for sharing!

Graham,
My forays into midi have been and are likely to remain minimal. I`m in awe of folks that really know how to produce the kind of string tracks you`re talking about.
I liked the slight departure from my usual ballad style the horns brought to this song, so for now I`ll leave as is.
Thanks for your very kind comments!

Hi Hans,
I liked the bit of humour that "foot in the door" line brings to the song... my Wavestune says I`m acceptable there!
I`m glad my not so clear lyrics got you thinking; thank you for your comments.

Very nice poetic start: "forever fixing broken things
she came upon a pair of wings", sounding like an angel (and later 'a feather for a lost cause'), vivid images like a movie without speaking - small gestures build up the story.
Fretless bass, horn section, congas, excellent choices and excellent use. And I really enjoyed your vocals, fragile yet strong interpretation.

"cross the counter in the Dairy Queen

Powerful. As is the entire write.

That fretless bass and the congas add great dimension. Outstanding choice.

Your vocals add just the right amount of melancholy to the production.

The mix is spot on to our ears.

Excellent.

PS Regarding the mistake...Bud is too old.

202 New RealTracks Released with Band-in-a-Box 2026!

With Band-in-a-Box® 2026, we've released 202 incredible new RealTracks (in sets 468-488) in a variety of genres—featuring your most requested styles!

Jazz, Funk & World (Sets 468-475):
Our new jazz, funk & blues RealTracks include a groovin’ collection of RealTracks and RealDrums! These include more requested “soul jazz” RealTracks featuring artists Neil Swainson (bass), Charles Treadway (organ), Brent Mason (guitar), and Wes Little (drums). There are new “smooth jazz” styles (4), which include a RealTracks first: muted trumpet, as well as slick new smooth jazz brushes options for drums. Blues lovers will be thrilled—there are more “classic acoustic blues” styles, including guitar (5), bass (4), and drums (10) with blues master Colin Linden, featuring understated and tasty background acoustic soloing, plus brushes drums and acoustic bass. There are also new electric blues RealTracks, including electric blues with PG favorite Johnny Hiland (3) and soulful electric slide guitar from Colin Linden (4). If you love funk & gospel, there are great new options this year, including gospel organ (3) from Charles Treadway, as well as new funk, tango, and rock ’n’ roll drums (3) and bass (1). And for big, bold arrangements, we have uptempo soul horns (4) featuring a three-part hip horn section with options for a full mix or stems of each individual horn — plus an accompanying rhythm section (4) of drums, bass, guitar, and electric piano!

Rock & Pop (Sets 476–482):
Our new rock & pop RealTracks bring a powerful mix of requested favorites, fresh genres, and modern chart-inspired styles! We have more of our popular “Producer Layered Acoustic Guitars (15)” featuring Band-in-a-Box favorite Brent Mason. We’ve continued our much-requested disco styles (10), and added new Celtic guitar (5) with a more basic, accessible approach than our previous Drop-D or DADGAD offerings. There are also highly requested yacht rock styles (17), inspired by the smooth, polished soft-rock sound of the late ’70s and early ’80s — laid-back grooves, silky electric pianos, warm textures, elegant harmonic movement, and pristine production aesthetics. Fans of heavier styles will love our new glam metal (13), capturing the flashy, high-energy sound of ’80s arena-ready guitar rock. We also have a set of rootsy modern-folk rock (18), with a warm, organic sound combining contemporary folk textures and driving acoustic strumming. And we’ve added lots of new modern pop styles (16) — the kinds of sounds you’re hearing on the radio today, featuring exciting new drums, synths, and cutting-edge RealTracks arrangements.

Country, & Americana (Sets 483–488):
Our new country & Americana RealTracks deliver a rich collection of acoustic, electric, and roots-inspired styles! We have new country pop (9) with legendary guitarist Brent Mason. There is also a potpourri (14) of bouzouki, guitars, banjo, and more, perfect for adding texture and character to contemporary acoustic arrangements. We’ve added funky country guitar (5) with PG favorite Brent Mason, along with classic pedal steel styles (5) featuring steel great Doug Jernigan. There are more country songwriter styles (8) that provide intimate, rootsy foundations for storytelling and modern Americana writing. Finally, we have “background soloing” acoustic guitar (12) with Brent Mason — simpler, but still very tasty acoustic lines designed to sit beautifully behind vocals or act as a subtle standalone solo part.

Check out all the 202 new RealTracks (in sets 468-488)!

And, if you are looking for more, the 2026 49-PAK (for $49) includes an impressive collection of 20 bonus RealTracks, featuring exciting and inspiring additions to add to your RealTracks library. You'll get new country-rhythm guitar styles from PG Music favorites Johnny Hiland and Brent Mason, along with modern-pop grooves that capture today’s radio-ready sound! There are also new indie-folk styles with guitar, bass, 6-string bass used as a high-chording instrument, acoustic guitar, and banjo. Plus, dedicated "cymbal fills" RealDrums provide an added layer that work very well with low-key folky styles with other percussion.
