Really good song, Herb.

Did AI write the melody and chord changes, or is there a way you can tell it what you want?

Nice job on the piano, and BIAB arrangement.

Enjoyed!

The next one I'm currently working on is a rocker of sorts.... well, closer to a rocker than this.

Coming back for a second listen is a nice compliment. Thanks for listening.

I like it a lot. Has a late 70s to mid 80s sound to my ears. I agree with the several comments about this being a good fit for Carrie Underwood. But the first thought I had was Alison Krause. She occasionally does a straight country song. But, what do I know - just an old fart who still enjoys music - making and listening.

Great lyric and nice work with Synth vocal. That's a nice plug in for the vocal harmonies. Sounds terrific.

Take care,

Alan

Alan, yeah I really like the older style country so I guess it shows up in my writings. AK is a favorite of mine. Thanks

Herb, cool tune. Nicely programmed vocals and the band, including the piano, sound great. The instrumental breaks really flow well, too. You describe a lot of work, but this sounds quite effortless, and quite beautiful. Well done!

DC Ron

It was a lot of work. The biggest part is in the DAW with the editing needed to pull it all together. Thanks

My take on this: Get a decent MIDI keyboard (weighted or unweighted, it's up to you), Native Instruments "Kontakt" and a piano library of your choice.
There are even some free ones that are usable.
You don't have to sell your house to get a good piano sound.

BD Thomas

I'm cheap..... I guess it all comes down to do I want a good sounding piano or not?

Dave

With AI, the way it currently functions, you can kinda tell it what melody you want..... however, I have found that to be hit and miss. Some of them have an "upload audio" function but it only takes 60 seconds and it's really not going to faithfully reproduce the melody exactly. Same thing kind of applies to changing lyrics in AI and editing the song. It's a far cry from being perfect. It's still easier to work in a DAW.

I know some folks who literally regenerate a song over 100 times because each time it does something different. One guy I know did around 140 generations before he got something he really liked. That is NOT how I do it. Since I use Synth V for my vocals on songs, I am able, in SV to edit the melody line, change lyrics easily, and adapt the vocal line/melody to what I want it to sing.

Essentially, AI wrote a draft version based on the prompt I gave it...topic, things I wanted in the lyrics, etc. I then take it and recreate it in BB and rework the vocal in SV and put it together in my DAW and hope it sounds good.

Thanks for the compliment on the music and the piano part. I am in the process of knocking the rust off my keyboard skills.

You nailed the vibe perfectly. The song winds its way through the lyrics and melody like a meandering stream through backwoods country. Enjoyed it.

Hi, Herb.

Nice country song - the harmonization works well. Solaria is a good fit here. My first thought was it was that Solaria was a Suno vocal, so take that as the compliment it's intended to be.

The lyrics are nice, and the mix is filled with nice touches as instruments weave in and out, or back out completely.

The piano is country, but has a touch of harpsichord - cool.

Nice work all around. smile

What a great sound, Herb. Really enjoy the whole package. Excellent job on the synth vocal, too. Beautiful melody, and I like how you mix the various instruments to highlight certain parts. Everything sounds perfect to me, but then I'm getting carried away with all the goodness in the write and production.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Herb,
Solid composition. I think it's the first time I hear you play piano. Fits very well, but I think darker tone would sound better, if it's midi obviously you can experiment. Myself, sometimes I would even double piano with a different brand VSTi. Tune listens and mixed very well, but to tell you the truth, I like your compositions with real vocals more. Thank you for sharing.

Misha.

Hi Herb,

I really enjoyed this song! Solaria did a good job, but here it's the composer/musician (I mean you) who makes this song sound so great!
The piano was also good here. If you had given it more emphasis, it might have taken away the attention from Solaria and the text. And you don't want that...

But sometimes I wish I could hear your voice again on those country songs. In my memory it still sounds so good!

Thanks . I like to do hard editing of the parts. Only the underlying rhythm runs the whole way. It makes for a cleaner, better sounding mix when you hard edit. Less of a mess. No backing off, completely out.

Thanks for listening.

I'm still playing with the tone of the piano. I actually started piano before I got a guitar. The guitar took over and I dropped the piano for a while. One of the bands I was in, we had a really good piano player but I took over on one song because he couldn't play in the key it was in. It was the only keyboard song I played. In recent years I've been getting back into the piano and shaking off the rust.

Thanks for listening

You're correct. While I really want my guitar playing and piano playing to be heard clearly, it's more important that they support the song and that often means being in the background.

I'll be doing a few things where I sing, and a few where my playing is definitely gonna be upfront.
Thanks

Hi Herb.

Your expertise is on full display with this creation.
I absolutely loved it.
If you hadn't had mentioned Solaria, I would never have known that this wasn't a live singer.
Quite honestly, I am in awe of your arrangement and production skills and your outstanding control of Synth V.
To my ears, this is first-class everything!

It sounds like all the effort and grey hairs were worth it, Herb. 😊
We agree with the Carrie Underwood comparisons too.
You and the wrecking crew worked well together.

Well done!

The synth voice does sound have a Carrie Underwood vibe but I think the song's vibe goes way further back in time than Carrie. Jean Sheppard or maybe even better, Lorie Morgan could have topped the charts with this one back in the day with Charlie Rich and Freddie Fender and their hits were blasting out of our car speakers.

The piano was good and fit into the song just fine. I'm not recommending you change anything, but a Floyd Cramer RealTrack (there are a few) would have worked well with the classic feel of this song.

The lyrics were good and cohesive with only a few lines and phrases where AI lyrically was not quite tweaked with how you usually write nor how this song would be written in the 70's. Two lines jump out to me and there's one phrase that particularly reminds me back to my very earliest song posts where you pointed out to me a writing habit I had at that time and here in this song, AI sneaked it into the lyrics. Those lyrics brought back memories of both the good advice from you that made my lyric writing better and some fun memories from my early posting days.

This is a very good song, arrangement, production and your precise editing and producing is top notch. Enjoyed my listen.

Thanks Noel. One of the things I decided when working with synth voices was it had to sound as realistic as possible. That was one of the reasons I never got into the vocaloids because they didn't sound real. It's all about the attention to detail.

I appreciate your commentary.

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.
