Torrey, your productions never cease to amaze me! Always so professional on every level. Excellent write (tip of the hat to Ron as well), excellent performance, and as always, stunning production. If this is your last song for 2022, I'm looking forward to 2023! Thanks Dave! Your comments mean a lot! T

Hello Torrey,
I'm sorry to read this song is your last song in 2022. How come? Still 3 months to go... What a very good song you made! Very good vocals (but that is almost 'normal'in your case) and an astonishing nice solo, wow, loved it!
If this is your goodbye for '22, what can I expect next year? (oh, Dave said the same, I noticed, sorry).
Enjoyed it a lot! Hans

Your guitar hooked me in.
Excellent production: a well-textured wall of sound.
I like the 70s/80s sound.
Awesome guitar solo.

Man, oh, man. You and Ron deliver in such a HUGE way every time --consistently. So professional on every level. I like Dan's reference to Pink Floyd and Dave's longing for 2023. I cannot wait for the album you mention. You are one of my favorite songwriters, Torrey, and one of my favorite performers. Some say you have to see the performer in order to truly appreciate the performance. I'm blind to that. Thanks so much Marty! I never take your comments for granted! T

Fabulous Torrey. As I first heard those lyrics I was thinking, "Man those guys wrote my song". All of it was good, but those lyrics really resonated with me. It was hitting home right from the first verse, I've felt those same feelings and you've put them to music like only you can. I actually keep a 3X5 card taped next to my bathroom mirror where I've written 2 Corinthians 5:17 to constantly remind me old things have passed away and all things have become new. Your productions always have such a high quality sound. I just now this is going to be a great album. I'm really going to miss hearing your stuff, so please, come back soon!
Brad Thanks Brad! It's wonderful to know that we don't have to let the past drag us down when we really believe we have received forgiveness! T

Hi, Torrey. Dave already beat me to the word "stunning", but I'm going to use it again anyway. Stunning. I have a vague recollection of the outline of the first version, but this is very cool. Thanks David! I appreciate all that! T

Excellent song, Torrey. Totally professional sounding mix, superb vocals and playing. I also got a bit of a Pink Floyd vibe in spots. Regards, Leon Thanks Leon! I'll take a Pink Floyd vibe comparison any day! T

A excellent production Torrey. The mix is great and the performances are terrific. Lyrically it feels like a re-write though. There are a couple of spots where sibilance jumps at me - but that's more my hearing than the production. Your voice is forward, as it should be, and everything else supports it as they should.

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.
The 2026 49-PAK is loaded with other great new add-ons as well. Learn more about the 2026 49-PAK!
