Soundcloud: That was the reason why YouTube: That was the reason why DEVELOPMENT Written sometime between 2001 and 2003 (I have a midi file dated Oct 2004), this song details some of the me to my (now) wife and me while we were dating leading me to be very appreciative of being loved and loving her. I think the bridge might have been added last, as it usually is for me - but not sure when. A point of clarification: ‘that’ in the title refers to all the things we did – not how I am referring to my wife – just making it clear. At various times over the years when I have considered the song, I have wondered about the lyrics. I've decided there's a fine line between adoration/affection, sounding 'needy' or some form of obsession. Hopefully, the lyrics come across as the first type. Coming in just over 3 minutes, this song is fairly ‘vanilla-flavoured’ and not adventurous in a musical sense. When working on the BV harmonies, I was pleasantly surprised that I was singing (on ‘I can’t waste/live…’) 7ths and 9ths of the root – not something I designed, but it sounded okay so I kept going with it. There's a section of the song I've called 'middle bit' which is repeated - it's not the chorus because it doesn't contain the title, but I wasn't sure what to call it. Is this song an A, B and C structure? Those that know more about the theory of songwriting can comment. RECORDING SUMMARY Style is _STORIES.STY (Stories Guitar n Piano Folk Pop) RealTracks in style: 2527:Bass, Electric, PraiseBreakBasic Ev 140 – just used in the solo RealTracks in style: 890:Piano, Acoustic, Solo-Accompaniment PopLite Ev 140 RealTracks in style: 2934:Guitar, Acoustic, Rhythm FolkySync8thsFintan Ev 140 – replaced by my own acoustic RealTracks in style: 2934:Guitar, Acoustic, Rhythm FolkySync8thsFintan Ev 140 – replaced by my own acoustic RealDrums in Song:NashvilleEven8^1-a:Sidestick, HiHat , b:Snare, Ride General midi patch Vibes notated on the solo track in BIAB and exported Recorded in Reaper. Lead vocal x 3, but with 2 of those sitting behind the main vocal BV x 2 LYRICS Intro Verse 1 Sometimes I wonder why, everything clicked and fell into place Across the café I saw you smile and that twinkle in your eye That was the reason why Verse 2 Sometimes I wonder why, you followed me back to the car that day You seemed to need me as I needed you – our loneliness would die That was the reason why Middle bit I can’t waste ... a lifetime, not knowing you’re mine And being better for loving you I can’t live, without you with me, to have you near me To spend my whole life next to you Solo Verse 3 Sometimes I wonder why, you’d walk with me for miles and miles Those country roads were never too long, the time we’d spend would fly That was the reason why Middle bit I can’t waste ... a lifetime, not knowing you’re mine And being better for loving you I can’t live, without you with me, to have you near me To spend my whole life next to you Bridge Don’t ever change the way you smile Don’t ever change the way you laugh or cry Or life would be impossible, or life would be improbable Unrecognisable to me Verse 4 Sometimes I wonder why, each Christmas Eve by my side Summer sun and hot jam doughnuts, see the waves roll by That was the reason why CHORDS Intro: | D | % | Am / Bm / | Am / Bm / | D | % | G | % | Verses and solo: | G | Bm | G | C / D / | C / D / | G / Em / | C | Em | Am / D7 / | G | Middle bit: | E7 | % | Am | % | Cm | % | D | % | x2 Bridge | G | % | C | / / / Bm | Am | % | Bm | Em | | D | % | Am / Bm / | Am / Bm / | D | % | G | % |

Love this, Andrew. Written at a time when every moment was a "that" moment. I'm getting chills thinking of my wife of 47 years and how many "that" moments were packed in there. I can imagine you feel the same. We can hear it in your vocal. Oh, man, I gotta play this for her. I referred to this song (without hearing it first) in a song I just posted here. Mine is about never knowing why, but this one is so good at answering it.

Best of all, she was and still is authentic - what I saw was what I got. Grateful, man. Andrew

Like this a lot, Andrew. Light and breezy but earnest and heartfelt. Especially liked your backing vocal arrangement and the (uncredited?) guitar break. Cool harmonic movement, too. Super mix, it all sounds great. Nicely done.

Nice tune, Andrew, definitely earworm material that will bounce merrily in my brain for the next several hours. Liked the solo, too.

Hi Andrew,
I think I can relate to the sentiment. I sometimes think why on earth did my better half choose me, why did she choose vanilla instead of strawberry ripple?!? I too am grateful that I have a an understanding, thoughtful and smart life partner. The song is full of all that realisation of how lucky we are to have that special person in our lives. There’s a part of the Middle Bit melody that reminds me of Mike Nesmith, and I liked the variation in texture during the bridge. The vocal was also very good.
Another solid write Andrew.

Re: the uncredited guitar solo, I wasn't paying attention to the Song Memo when I posted the new thread - Song Memo is not listing it for some reason? I wonder - does Song Memo not list frozen tracks? In any case, the guitar solo is: 4389: Guitar, Electric, Soloist Soul70sRelaxedPat Ev 100. Thanks for listening! Andrew

Yes, I was happy with the guitar solo section I used - and better still, I didn't need to regenerate or go splicing and dicing through the track to find it. Thanks for listening! Andrew

Another solid write Andrew. Thanks Lee! We are both very [lucky / fortunate / blessed - I'm not sure what the appropriate word is nowadays] men to have enduring marriages - easy to overlook in the day-to-day rhythm of life. Alison is very reluctant to receive praise about how worthy she is. I often quote a line from the movie 'As good as it gets' starring Jack Nicholson and Helen Hunt - "You make me want to be a better man". (BTW - where is Greg Kinnear these days - I thought he was a good actor.) Re: Mike Nesmith - any particular song or just the general vibe? I have to admit that his 'Joanne' (despite its country leanings) is an all-time favourite of mine. I know we have both been likened to different artists from time-to-time, so I am always fascinated by these comparisons. As my mum would say "A fox can't smell its own den". Andrew

Hi Andrew,
Yes it’s Joanne. It’s at the end of the middle bit where you sing:
“I can’t live, without you with me, to have you near me
To spend my whole life next to you”
…it reminds me of the last two lines of each verse, where in verse 1 Mikey sings….
“And I saw as she went a most hopeless situation
For Joanne and the man and the times that made them both run”
The chords are different between the two songs, but it has a similar descending tone to Joanne.
I suppose on reflection and another listen, whilst not completely like Joanne in places it does still have some of that vibe.
Regards.

Regards. Hi Andrew. I like this song and I like the way the song form does follow a simple pattern (like mine do). Like you, I wonder why things happen...but I don't chalk it up to fate. I just think it's the randomness of life.

I suppose on reflection and another listen, whilst not completely like Joanne in places it does still have some of that vibe. ... Yes it’s quite close. In Joanne, that section ‘for Joanne and the man and the times that made them both run’ goes IV - iv - V - I, whereas mine goes ii - iv - V but doesn’t resolve to the I root chord, but the ii in mine is the relative minor of IV in Joanne - so similar, and both having a descending melody. The vibe. It’s the power of the minor iv. What a wonderful song Joanne is.

Good song, Andrew, has a "happy" vibe to it and I like the bouncy feel.

Nicely done! Thanks Dave! You mention something that I hadn’t consciously thought about - when I met my wife, this was one of (or the start of) the happiest periods of my life, and I hope for her also. It seems appropriate that the song conveys a light, airy and happy feel because I recall that is what it felt like. Thanks for listening! Andrew

Hi, Andrew. Nice!  With the guitar and BGVs, it's got a nice 60's vibe. The chorus works especially well.

Andrew, this is on outstanding masterpiece.
This hit home for me "I can’t waste ... a lifetime, not knowing you’re mine
And being better for loving you
I can’t live, without you with me, to have you near me
To spend my whole life next to you"
I have no idea why my wife wed me 58 years ago; yes we have had a ton of "that" moments. (Watch the original movie Grease and you will see our story.)
Great vocals and harmonies. Super groove and mix.
One of your best for sure - loved it.
Life is short so make sure you spend as much time as possible on the Internet arguing with strangers.

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.
