Hello Forum members

I'm a newbie here, having only recently purchased BIAB. I've been writing for a couple of years now and been using Cakewalk mainly for recording and production. A good friend of mine has used BIAB for a long time now and recommends it highly. Attached is my first recording using BIAB and I love the extra dimension it has given this song, especially the solo during the outro... its outstanding. (only wish I could play it myself). The vocals not perfect and I don't have the greatest voice, but i'm very happy with the music production. Can't wait to see what BIAB can give to my next song. BIAB is a big program...huge learning curve!

LIGHTS

INTRO: Aaah… aaah… aaah… aaah.
Aaah… aaah… aaah… aaah.

VERSE 1
I was thinking ‘bout all the highs and lows out on the road,
Crowd reacting to our songs, friendships under heavy load.
Played them all, woo-ooh-ooh, arenas to village hall.
Tens of thousands, maybe more, fields of green they are no more.

CHORUS
Lights go down upon an empty stage.
Lights go out, turn another page.

VERSE 2
Had the sound and the pose, the hair and some fancy clothes.
Girls and powder for our nose, money yeah, well that soon goes.
Time slips’ easy, woo-ooh-ooh, band mates long gone.
Hear their song, shed a tear, on my shoulder I can feel you near.

CHORUS
Lights go down upon an empty stage.
Lights go out, turn another page.

BRIDGE
I don’t know what’s left for me to play.
We followed the path but somehow lost our way.
Spotlight falls hard upon the ground where I stand.
Here and now, no longer in demand.

VERSE 3
Time has come, woo-ooh-ooh, to clear the stage.
One more chorus, take a bow, that’ll have to do for now.
And ever more.

CHORUS
Lights go down upon an empty stage.
Lights go out, turn another page.

OUTRO
…lightsss…. shine on through.
…lightsss…. on an empty stage.
…lightsss…. shining on you.
…lightsss…. turn another page.
