Good day all.... Well.... I've never written (2) songs back to back before so I'll throw this one against the wall too. A song about life and how we sometimes fail to grasp it and it's unknown adventures or opportunities. You know, the "without some risk there's no reward" thing. I'm an idiot! I forgot to post a direct link. I'm old.  https://soundcloud.com/chulaivet1966/time-waiits-for-no-one-ken-lasaine-on-guitarsMy sincere thanks to Ken (klasaine) for his time and musicianship on this new one. He's the best and easy to work with. Thanks also to any that give it a spin and hope you find it worthy of your time. ***I stumbled upon this salsa track and knew it could drag something out of me eventually. 60s and 70s Pop-Brazilian. 5 insts. (piano, bass, guitar, in drums, perc. & strings. 'b' is more intense w/ Timbale figure. T=102 (M-Finger Electric Bass, M-Ac.Piano, M-NylonGuitar, M-Strings, Drums=Salsa^5-HiHatOpen 60s and 70s Pop-Brazilian. 5 insts. (piano, bass, guitar, in drums, perc. & strings. 'b' is more intense w/ Timbale figure. T=102 (M-Finger Electric Bass, M-Ac.Piano, M-NylonGuitar, M-Strings, Drums=Salsa^5-HiHatOpen BIAB: drums, bass, piano Ken: all guitars Me: All the vox and I also added a conga track. Time Waits For No One (100 bpm Key: Bm 3:21) Intro:Verse 1Born alone, eyes tightly closed awaiting your first cry. When you strike out on your own, so begins your life. Every path will ebb and flow to swells of ocean waves. You’ve done your time says every line etched deeply on your face. ChorusTime waits for no one, there’s choices to be made. Time waits for no one, so board that ship before it sails. Bm7 (4 bars) interludeVerse 2Looking back at old regrets and possibilities So easy to get lost in thought and dreamy reveries. Younger voices calling you for choices never made. Life’s a stormy marathon, can’t always play it safe ChorusTime waits for no one, there’s choices to be made. Time waits for no one, so board that ship before it sails. Bridge:Lead break: verse + chorus. Verse: Bm7 (41-56) Chorus: (57-60) Bridge:Verse 3Someone told me long ago wisdom comes with age. Get used to all the highs and lows accept what can’t be changed. Without some risk there’s no reward. The nature of the game. Young or old, keep pushin’ on. Forward is the way. ChorusTime waits for no one. There’s choices to be made. Time waits for no one so board that ship before it sails. Vamp to end: Bm7 (8 bars) (81-84) Copyright: Wayne Evans – music & lyrics April 10, 2024 17:00

Wayne, super tune! The salsa instruments are cool but the song of course strays far from salsa cliches. That's always cool. Nice vocals and killer guitar work by Ken throughout. Sounds like you're on a roll!

Howdy Ron.... Thanks very much for stopping by and giving it a listen and kind comments. It's much appreciated. TBH....after I posted the thread I had second thoughts. Figuring I may be out of line or come off as too self indulgent to have (2) songs posted, but....it was too late. I think I got too enthusiastic coming out of my 'slump'. I'm sure I won't be writing (2) back to back in the future. Thanks again.

Wayne, you had me from beat one of the first measure.
Super groove.
Great vocal and lyrics.
Super backing band.
Ken, super lead work!
Great mix.
Life is short so make sure you spend as much time as possible on the Internet arguing with strangers.

Hi, Wayne. Could you post the link to the song at the top of your post instead in your signature? It took me forever to figure out how to find the song. With the complaint out of the way... I like the song - high energy!

Good morning everyone....
Mario
That's a very generous review and I thank you.
Much appreciate the kind comments.
Sorry I forgot to post a proper link.
David....I added the direct link top of page.
I'm an idiot for forgetting to post a direct link.
Old age is sneaking up on me....and I'm only 77!
Thank you for pointing out my oversight and also for taking the time to find it and give a listen.
Thanks again to you both.

Well good mornin' J&B....and all others Cool Latin vibe! "Someone told me long ago wisdom comes with age." Hmmm ... if so then I should be a LOT wiser! Nice mix, band and performances. Enjoyed the listen! J&B Ha....good catch. It seems my post 'slump' enthusiasm clouded my lyrical judgement. I think I got bamboozled out of wisdom result too. Probably should read: "Rumors swirling long ago that wisdom comes with age."OR "Have you heard the latest joke that wisdom comes with age":On a serious note, I thank you very much for giving it a listen and the kind comments. It's quite appreciated. Hope all is well and have a great day.

Cool, Wayne. Yeah, that conga hit me and plastered a smile on this face. Vocals are so good. Love the drive in the song, and Ken shines brightly. Fun Latin groove. My all-time favorite album title is "Tom Wasits. For No One." So good to hear that your muse moved back in with ya.

Good morning Marty.... I thought it had a good 'drive' of that salsa style too which is not a term I would generally associate with the genre. I will be perusing more of that genre for the next endeavor providing I don't free fall into another 'slump'. Thanks very much for checking it our ant the generous comments. Howdy Blue.... I liked that style too which not one that I've employed in the past. This BIAB program is a very cool tool for us song writers and I'd have several songs in my "unfinished" folder without it. Thanks very much for taking the time to give a listen and kind comments. Have a great everyone!

Hi Wayne,
A lovely song! I like that Latin fibe and your vocals shine in it!
The topic in the lyrics is handling 'getting older' too: "Time waits for no one, there’s choices to be made"
I enjoyed it a lot!

Howyd Birch.... Your too kind. I thank you for stopping by and taking the time to give it a spin. Yeah....I really dig that salsa/latin vibe too. This is my first with that BIAB style but I'll be looking for more of the same for my next one. Primarily, to get out of my comfort zone, so to speak. Thanks again and hope all is well.

Hi Wayne.
This is fantastic listening. I love the salsa groove.
Ken has also worked with it very, very well and has captured the flavour of Brazil in his vocals superbly.
"So board that ship before it sails"... I love this line! It's a command. It's a metaphor, and it's perfectly placed in the powerhouse position of the last line of the chorus.
Because I'm old, I could look at these lyrics from a hindsight perspective and see the truth in them.
I have no doubt that that coloured my thinking but it did not diminish the power of your words. If anything, I suspect it probably made your words more acute.
I really enjoyed this music journey!

This is a cool salsa that gets my feet moving.
The mix is a bit flat and almost mono, but the song itself is pretty good.
Like it!

Good morning everyone. Noel96.... Ha...well, regarding the 'hindisight' comment, I'm old too and it was written from that perspective. I sincerely appreciate your thorough take on it. Peter.... Yeah, I feel quite fortunate the Ken thinks highly enough of my efforts to collaborate with me on them. B.D.... I dig the 'salsa' style too. Thanks for giving a listen and chiming in. Sounds fine on our systems but it's always good to hear other listeners perspectives Should I revisit it, I'll consider your comment. Thank you all for taking the time to listen and comment. Much appreciated. Have a great day all.

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!
