It's Gonna Fall on Soundcloud
It's Gonna Fall on YouTube A song suggesting nothing lasts forever, especially without care. 2 songs ago it was about lies, the last one was about truth, this one I suppose is about consequences. Style is _BEWITCH.STY (Bewitch Baritone Gtr Bluesy Soul) RealTracks in style: 1410:Piano, SynthLayer, Rhythm Soul70sA-B Ev16 100 RealTracks in style: 1404:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm Soul70sWarmA-B Ev16 100 RealTracks in style: 3164:Guitar, Baritone Electric, Rhythm BluesyPopSteady8thsCleanBrent Ev 100 RealTracks in song: 3664:Dulcimer, Rhythm Folk8ths Ev 100 RealTracks in song: 3225:Guitar, 12-String Acoustic, Rhythm Campfire128 Sw 060 RealDrums in style:BluesRockFunky16ths^1-a:Snare, HiHat , b:Busy Snare, HiHat was used in the redesign in EZDDrummer. Dave Bell (Blue Attitude) played guitar. I played bass and sang. You gotta love AI. Check out the images in the solo. Every image except the last has an impossible pose for the human guitarist. It's Gonna FallA structure built on sand cannot withstand the tests of time. It needs a solid base of strong support. Truth in what we say is the way to bolster growth so the world we build will not fall short. (Or... Then) this house of cards is gonna fall. History says it's true. The daunting task to rebuild it all falls to me & you. They broadcast breaking news. But by the time it reaches me there is so much added on and taken out. There may be grains of truth mixed within agendas' plans, but the slant we hear can only breed doubt. If we want to make our stay on Earth, falsehoods must be shamed. You cannot throw in your two cents worth and then expect some change. INTRO-- Gm Dm Cm Gm V-- Gm Gm Dm Dm Cm Cm Gm Gm Gm Gm Dm Dm Eb Eb F F CH-- Bb Cm Cm Bb B Cm Eb F

Hi Marty,
Your music always has a great foundation, both musically lyrically. Your lyrics always cause me to pause sand think a little more closely.
I listened on SC and then watched the video. What a great video!!! And your lyric rings true.
Your vocal is clear and spot on. Dave may need to purchase some ointment to soothe the blisters on his fingers after that great solo.
This is some really terrific music!
Best to both of you,
Alan

Brilliant song. Brilliant message. Wonderful singing, writing, and wonderful images on the video. Great instrumental playing, both from yourself on the bass, and from Dave on the guitar. Another top-notch, thought provoking song from you. Bravo.

Evocative and cool. Super performances by the humans, and the guys from the box sound really nice too. Excellent write, spot on execution. Great job!

(I look Just like that guy in the video when I play guitar) Haha! Thanks, floyd. Man, if you look like that playing guitar, you must put The Killer, Jerrry Lee, to shame playing piano. Marty, Another awesome piece of music! Love everything you are doing these days. Your voice has never been better and your writing is excellent. Superb mix as well! And of course Dave sounds tremendous also. Bob Thanks, Bob. Much appreciated. Started practicing the vocals well before pushing record. Well, that's all new for me. hehe

Alan Thanks, Alan. "cause me to pause sand think" I'd love to hear your thoughts on this and many other subjects --what do you think? Gonna fall? In the process I'd say. LOL Nice mix, vocal, lyrics etc., etc. Love that last line especially. Thanks, Beth. You're right, I should write one called It's Falling cuz I won't likely be around for the rebuild. Thanks for noticing the last line. It's a parphrase from what I often say (Well, when I give my two cents, I expect some change), and this new way fits this song better. Bravo Marty for this song and the great images.
Laurent Thank you, Laurent. You know how weird it is working with that AI. It's all about the prompt, and I assure you I didn't ask it to give us a guitarist with wonky arms. hehe Brilliant song. Brilliant message. Wonderful singing, writing, and wonderful images on the video. Great instrumental playing, both from yourself on the bass, and from Dave on the guitar. Another top-notch, thought provoking song from you. Bravo. Thank you, James. Sadly thought-provoking songs are much easier to make than inspired change.

Great vocal and message
Dave, well no matter what he plays it sounds great
Super bass and mix Thanks so much, Mario. Great song, Marty, and loved the video!
Thanks for the invite, and thanks to those that mentioned my guitar work. Thanks, Dave. Thanks for accepting and making the song a 100 times better.

Great lyrics, simple but with a solid foundation in truth. A message straight from the legendary Marty the Old Master's guide book to better world Great band, that baritone guitar supports your great bass playing, Dave isn't gonna fall from those heights, pleasant vocals. Great video that supports the story excellently, I really enjoyed those massive buildings and the flying guitarist! Janne

I avoided this for a few days because the title filled me with awe...the fear sort.
The lyrics aren't as bleak as my fever dream suggested..ominous but not despairing.
Great band built on the rock of your bass and with architectural essentials by Dave.
Cautionary tale, so long as the dogs does the wagging.
Excellent.
Cheers

--Noel Thanks so much, Noel. Appreciate that, and happy you came along for the ride. OTT comment repeated: Another brilliant song, lyrically and musically. 5 Stars, 10 out of 10, 100%, top of the class. Thanks again, Chay!! Great lyrics, simple but with a solid foundation in truth.

Great video that supports the story excellently, I really enjoyed those massive buildings and the flying guitarist! Janne Ha. Guide to a better world. I'm too cynical to believe there would be any follows. The truth scares too many. Yes, I'm glad BiaB has those baritone guitars --so helpful so often.

Excellent. Haha, Ray. Did you lose balance just thinking of it? Yep, even being weighed down by truthful cynacism, I stll fancy happy endings. I see what ya did there with the dog and the tale. hehe

This third installment is every bit as good as part one and part two. 😊
You’ve been doing a lot of serious thinking lately. We love this line:
“If we want to make our stay on Earth, falsehoods must be shamed.”
You and Dave are hittin’ the note big time and the BiaB guys fit right in.
Excellent mix and supportive video also.
Enjoyed it!

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!
