The lyric is great and we were envisioning ourselves in the car headed west to the Rocky Mountains.

“No rush to be there I've got time to spare.
I sing along with every song I know.”

The above lines had Janice say, “oh yeah!”

The girls sound as good as ever and the band is ace.

Nice lyric vid also.

Good vibrations!

J&B

When Janice said "oh yeah" that's all I could ask for smile
Thank you both for listening and your feedback!

And, BTW, when I wrote the song, I had my memories in mind of driving west on I-8 many moons ago..

A very nice song!
What a pop melody!
Reminds me of an ABBA song.
The video is also perfect for this song.
Enjoyed my listen and watch a lot.

Best regards.

Thanks for listening and your comment, Brad. I will think about a driving lead for the next songs smile

BD ...

Banal? You must have accidentally listened to a different song. This is a very appealing song. You've mastered the synth voices such that they sound almost 100% human. Loved the song - cheerful and uplifting top my ears. That was a real treat!

B.D.,

Love the track. Great groove. Nicely mixed.
Vocals are astounding.
The cadence and phrasing of the lyric demonstrates a Strong sense of how Pop should be written. Skill.

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. AI-Notes converts polyphonic audio—either full mixes or individual instruments—into MIDI that you can view in notation or play back instantly.
