*******************

I had hardly even seen
The new girl in accountin’
When she passed me a note
That said meet me by the fountain
And then she grabbed my hand
Led me to the elevator
I didn’t understand
Cos I was just a spectator

It was like I was watchin’ a movie
I just couldn’t control
She was the only one who could move me
And see into my soul
Like a white hot light
shinin’ in my eyes
I got too close tonight
I just got too close tonight

We walked out of the lobby
Onto the crowded sidewalk
Smilin’ at each other
We didn’t even have to talk
We walked on into the night
The cold air on both our faces
Though it all seemed so right
What were all these strange places?

It was like I was watchin’ a movie
I just couldn’t control
She was the only one who could move me
And see into my soul
Like a white hot light
burnin’ up the skies
I got too close tonight
I just got too close tonight

Was that a shooting star
Or an aero-plane?
Was it my beating heart
Or the sound of rain?
I tried to slow it down
But I couldn’t stop
All about the town
Going out on top
Waiting for the next shoe to drop

It was like I was watchin’ a movie...

HI Ron,

I just wrote a reply, hit "post reply" - then nothing. Oh well - cyberspace must be a pretty busy place!

This is the first time I can remember Dusty singing in that lower register as he did at the beginning of the verses. He can cover the whole vocal spectrum so nicely!

I liked the opposing rhythm guitars, Tremolo right and distortion left - nice!

Another Gem! You guys know what to do with your musical tools!

Take care,

Alan

DC, RW, DA...

Y'all do Pop so well.
Crisp clean tracks. Infectious.
The vocals here seems a bit "too crisp" (opinion - and just a bit). My thought was "warmer" but that might not work.

I so enjoy your Pop.
You show off BIAB well.

Hi Ron and co-workers,

Very nice popsong with a catchy chorus!
Nice to see how all your songs have a 'delicious' chorus that invites to sing along.
I liked a lot what I heard.
Great work,

When you three get together I know I'm in for a great song.
Super vocal and lyrics with the perfect backing band all mixed to perfection.
Outstanding pop song.

Thanks, Alan! Yeah, Dusty can cover a couple of octaves without effort, and a few more notes than that with the high harmonies. He's ridiculous. Glad you liked it!

Floyd, thanks for the listen. I do tend to prefer brighter vocals, especially with Dusty's character-rich voice. But I also have high frequency hearing loss (as many of us do or will) so have to be careful not to overcompensate. Using reference tracks and several listening environments helps, but isn't perfect. Will give it a closer listen. Appreciate the input!

Hans, thank you for the input! My lyricist does a great job crafting "song-ready" lyrics with hooks built in. My job is to use them, and I do try to make his hooks fun to sing. Glad it worked! Truth is, I tend to post our hookier songs since I think they are the cooler listening experiences. We're a slave to our meager (but awesome) audience. Ha!

Bob, THANK YOU for the compliments! Even when the song is "done", I spend several days listening in 4-5 listening environments and tweaking the mix/master. I tend to work really fast until I get to the end, and then pump the brakes, knowing that I need to make that last turn safely. Glad you liked it!

Nice and catchy pop song, guys.
A real toe tapper.
I love those harmonies, and the production is pretty good.
I'd probably put less reverb on the vocals, but that's my only (minor) nit.

B.D., glad you liked it! Yeah, I've been trying to compensate for my preference for dry-ish vocals and may have gone too far. The vox FX chain includes both a tape delay and a plate reverb. I usually increase the tape delay mix until it starts to step on the vocal, then back off a smidge. Then I'll incrementally add plate reverb until it's just barely audible. This usually meets my need for a clean sounding vocal while providing a bit of pleasing ambience. But I may have left the delay a bit heavy. This is most noticeable to me (now) in the opening section. I do spend an inordinate amount of time on the vocal FX, and never feel I get them exactly right. THANKS for the input!!

Love that tight rockin' sound here!
Your chorus is really catchy and the vocals are wonderful (love the harmony work)
This is an awesome tune!
That bridge was a really creative turn in the song that is so effective! Excellent!

Thanks, TB

THANKS, Torrey! The bridge is my favorite part of a song to work on since it's usually the last piece in the musical jigsaw puzzle. It's very satisfying when it turns out. Glad you liked it!

Man, I am diggin' the songs of Davis, Hughes & Ron. A terrific collaboration of creative talent. Oh, yes, I've stared in this movie once -well, at least I had a supporting role. hehe An excellent grab-ya-and-don't-let-go song. Great story lyrics delivered in excellent voice. The melody grabs the listener, and the band brings it all together. Pro all the way.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Thanks, Ezekiel! Getting those four guitar tracks mixed took a lot of trial and error, and I'm still not convinced I got it right, but glad it worked for you!

Ha! Thanks, Chay! This one certainly has a music video running through my head.

Marty, glad you liked it! The theme of a romantic destiny "I just couldn't control" is pretty relatable, I think. But I have starred in my own version, so there's that...Ha!

What a great song!

Loved the structure, the way the verses chorus, and bridge sections interplay.

A real 'ear-worm' chorus and great production - I could easily buy into this. Thank you for the music!

Things do get a little crisp at times.
this is a nice piece of countryish pop.
I did find, in the 1st verse, that some of the phrasing or cadence was a little stilted:
"That said meet me by the fountain &
Cos I was just a spectator" are the main ones.
Good band & mix.

Dan, THANKS! Dusty is a not-so-secret weapon for sure. I'll listen to most songs acapella at some point just to fully appreciate all the little things he's doing. Glad you liked it!

Ray, really appreciate the listen and your discerning comments. I often reach for riskier phrasing and/or cadences, just because that's where the fun is for me. I do recognize that there is risk in that. But in the best case, there is also reward. Maybe next time!

Yes, later on it's okay. Or maybe the ears will have adapted by then.

There’s no need to overly parse out this production. It is ALL good.
The vocals and the band session guys are great as is the arrangement.
Great use of BiaB tracks wrapped in an open/airy mix with plenty of dynamics.
The lyric imagery is very cool and the melody is bouncy and fun.

We much enjoyed it!

PS We found your comments to Bob regarding post mix activity interesting as we are the same way. We master with a reference song and listen to the results on several sound systems. BTW Bud has a severe high f loss also and has a custom “mixing program” for his hearing aids. smile

Janice and Bud, ya'll are too kind, BUT...so glad you enjoyed it! Interesting about Bud's mixing program, had no idea anything like that existed. Had forgotten ya'll were in Georgia. My whole family lives (or is buried) there. I'm the only one who left and never came back. Our son loves visiting though. He can't believe there's a place where people are so sincere and friendly. (Those are uncommon characteristics around here, sadly.) THANKS for the listen!!

THANK YOU, Vic! I do love that for our lyricist, the rain in Spain doesn't fall mainly in the plains, if you know what I mean. Besides, if it weren't for my fondness of these sometimes offbeat lyrics, we wouldn't have any songs at all.

Glad you liked it, Brad! I really keep the mixes simple, with the vocals, bass and kick in the middle and everything else somewhere else. I'll pan guitars hard left and right if it's not a distraction.

User Video: Band-in-a-Box® + ChatGPT = Impressed the BOSS!

Since AI is now readily available online as a resource for many things, we recently put together and shared a video where we demonstrated how to create a song using Band-in-a-Box®, ChatGPT, and Synth V; we've also shared a Bob Doyle Media video, Convert MIDI Chords into AI Vocal Harmonies with ACE Studio and Band in A Box, showing how they utilize AI for their song projects. Now it's time to share Henry's video, Band-in-a-Box + ChatGPT = Impressed the BOSS!, where he demonstrates how to use ChatGPT and Band-in-a-Box to whip a song project together in only 3-4 hours.

Watch the video.
