Deleted A musing on the the fragility of our digital personas. Don't know how he thinks these things up. Guess that's why I do the music. Had to rename this post from the original "Deleted". True story: My brother/lyricist's spouse told him, "Hey, Ron just posted another song," paused, and then said, "Never mind, it's been deleted..." Aargh! All instruments you hear are from the 2026 _DETACH.STY. BiaB places this style in the Country genre, but I think it works well in this not-a-country-song. I've found a lot of fun RealStyle applications by looking in adjacent genres like Country instead of Pop. Am using some power pop-like structure, but there's not a big repeating chorus, only the "Won't you help me..." line used in three places. So this approach may be a weakness. Also, went for a more dramatic ending than usual. I like the way it turned out, but can see that being open to interpretation as well. THANKS in advance for any listens and comments! R.W.

They must be around here someplace I followed all the clues What have I got to lose? Like the ghost of a memory left to die Cuz nobody could remember And can you hear a tree fall in the forest If no one’s there to say “timber”? Like a flash in the pan or flash in the sky To signal an upcoming storm You circle your birthdate on the calendar Even though you were never born Won’t you help me find my luggage Or a phone to call for help? Don’t send them to the lost baggage Or to any place else Until I search myself Am I an invisible man?
An unopened metal can?
A dream that disappears when you awake?
The calm after an earthquake?
A duplicate snowflake?
A forgotten mistake?Like a funeral unattended by all But the men that dug the big hole You escape into all your flights of fancy For all the stories never told Like the faded words on a scrap of paper You felt alone and mistreated You try to find a trace of yourself online But now you have been deleted Won’t you help me? It looks like you need some help, too…

Ron,
What a cool song! Love it!
Awesome arrangement, tracks selections & mix. Your vocal is really strong on this one and I really like how you structured the "Won't you help me" lines. It's a great hook.
EXCELLENT ending. That was a superb build-up.
A new favorite!
Bob

Hi Ron! This is good! I love the ‘doot doot’ used almost as a BV fill transitioning to the chorus. Also one of the RTs - I think it’s 4955 - jangling away on the right-hand-side - it gave me the impression of deleted things floating in the ether, and I note these RTs are called ‘ethereal’. I wouldn’t call this country either, but for the presence of the steel guitar which is suitably disguised more as a slide which again suits the song. I’d be happy to sign a petition claiming this as rock/pop rather than country, or reporting the classification to BIAB Support as a ‘bug’.  Enough of the analysis - a really good song that I enjoyed. Andrew PS while listening and pondering the title, I thought how cool would it be to have an album named ‘Key strokes’ full of songs like ‘Deleted’, ‘Enter’, ‘Space’, ‘Control’, ‘Tab’, ‘Shift’, and so we don’t forget the Apple Mac users ‘Command’.

Ron & R.W.
Huge fan of chugging muted guitars AND simple spacey additions - so that opening is PREMO!
Nicely done...
LOVE your vocal on this!!! ....and those doot-doots, of course! (and the melody changes that happen right before that - Cool)
Bass and drums sound really good. Excellent mix.
Super change-up for the bridge...
Very cool lyric. Very cool melody. Both are interesting and often unexpected (in a really good way).
Outstanding arrangement/production.
Excellent mix. Bears repeating. Terrific soundstage.
Sounds Great.

Hi Ron,
Super song, write and production. I see Mr Dee likes the doot-doot-doots, he’s a doot-doot-doot man from wayback! I love the whole vibe and the phrasing, pauses etc. This is going on my favs list and is worth several listens, just to get more out of the lyrics and arrangement.
Love it Ron, kind regards.

Hi Ron. Your brother has written some really inventive lyrics, and you have set them against a fantastic melody. This is a super-creative arrangement with a brilliant overall sound. Right from the start I was captured and transported into the song. Your vocals (lead and background) shine. To me, it sound like quite a bit of effort went into shaping this creation into its final presentation. Kudos to you both. I loved everything about this  --Noel

Andrew, THANKS for the listen and nice remarks. The "doots" are an Easter egg of sorts: Each "doot" represents the word "deleted" with the last six letters...deleted. Get it? I'm SO easily amused. Like your concept album idea.

Like your concept album idea. Easter eggs - that makes me wonder if I should play your song in reverse to see if there is any backwards masking! Actually, that gives me an idea … Andrew

The choice of style is very good. The song is very pleasant to listen to; it's very airy and the vocals are excellent. It's very enjoyable.

A weird, different, unexpected song. That's why I like it The surreal lyrics are right up my alley, and your interpretation of them is perfect. Even without a proper chorus, it's incredibly catchy. Really, really well done, Ron ![[Linked Image - Only viewable when logged in]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/images/icons/default/thumbs_up.gif)

Cool song, liked the doot doots and the ending. Singing strong as usual, mix and master is nonpareil. I recently purchased some new audio gear and your song really sounds terrific through it. Timber and remember was my favorite rhyme. You're really on a streak of hits, way to go!

fj Thank you, Floyd. The "spacey" RealTracks have some unusual textures that I like a lot, and the instruments can often be combined in interesting ways. Glad you enjoyed the tune!

Once again an excellent song and great use of BiaB samples. The arrangement, mix and production are superb and those and your vocals create an unmistakeable style.

Hi Ron,
Well, that is me something! An almost deleted song. Only kept the intended deed as a title!
Don't get too carried away, Ron. You'll be tempted to do so with all the rave reviews! I think it's a great song too, so those reviews are definitely valid!!!
Very nice lyrics and very well sung. That bass really works well the way you use it!
Yes, I really enjoyed your song!

Ha! I'm with the bro-in-law cuz I thought the song was deleted so I skipped this beauty when first seen. Man, I'm glad I checked again (cuz it's still here after being deleted --haha). Outstanding lyrics as only R.W. Davis can pen. I'm very glad you do the music, Ron; it makes for a terific partnership. Anotherr gem, and I hope you never delete it.

Like that it sounds like this took "quite a bit of effort" but I'm not sure it did. Getting backing track stems out of BiaB takes no time at all. Recording and editing the vocals takes the most time by far. I also listen to the final mix dozens of times in different environments, then remix and repeat. This last step is usually spread over several days. But it's my hobby, and I enjoy doing it. Besides, it's cheaper than golf.

You're really on a streak of hits, way to go! Thanks, Rob! This is an example of a song where I wrote the ending first and designed the rest to lead the listener to it. Not a trick to deploy on every song for sure, but it has its place.

Great work! TB THANK YOU, Torrey. Most RealStyles offer a nice palette of sounds to draw from. Finding the right arrangement in a single RealStyle is a fun puzzle. Truthfully, I spend maybe 20 minutes in BiaB selecting the RealStyle, then it's off to the DAW for vocals. After lead vocals I'll create the final backing track arrangement and lay in the harmonies and BGVs. THANK YOU as well for the compliment on the vocals. Part of it is learning how to sing better, and at 68 I'm singing better than ever. Another part is taking the time to lay down a decent vocal. On days I can't sing well (allergies, air quality, etc), I just don't record. Like the weather, it will pass. Finally, and maybe most importantly, I've learned how to compose and edit my vocals more transparently. It's studio magic, but good magic the same. Glad you enjoyed the tune!

Fun "nerdy"/philosophical lyrics, lots of things included, so thoroughly pondered topic. "You try to find a trace of yourself online/But now you have been deleted" what a scary thought, but these Moltbook days this could be a story of an AI agent and for some reason, I'm now thinking the mystery of the deleted pair of socks in the washing machine Interesting arrangement which adds to the mystery. Great mix, nicely panned guitars. And the vocals and harmonies are guaranteed top quality. Janne

Hi Ron,
Well, that is me something! An almost deleted song. Only kept the intended deed as a title!
Don't get too carried away, Ron. You'll be tempted to do so with all the rave reviews! I think it's a great song too, so those reviews are definitely valid!!!
Very nice lyrics and very well sung. That bass really works well the way you use it!
Yes, I really enjoyed your song!
Hans THANKS, Hans. I like the BiaB bass, too. THANKS for keeping the deed!

Ha! I'm with the bro-in-law cuz I thought the song was deleted so I skipped this beauty when first seen. Man, I'm glad I checked again (cuz it's still here after being deleted --haha). Outstanding lyrics as only R.W. Davis can pen. I'm very glad you do the music, Ron; it makes for a terific partnership. Anotherr gem, and I hope you never delete it. THANK YOU, Marty. Yeah, funny how the song's title led me to another facet of what it means to be digitally deleted: The song was still there but looked like it wasn't. Had to laugh. Glad you enjoyed the tune!

“Like a flash in the pan or flash in the sky
To signal an upcoming storm
You circle your birthdate on the calendar
Even though you were never born”
We’ve long liked “connect your own dots” lyrics and this is a great one!
Excellent BiaB session folks.
The lush steel is one of our favs.
The mix and mastering are standout.
The tracks work well with each other.
And nobody is stepping on anybody setting up a fine soundstage.
Excellent vocal and Beach Boys tight harmony BGV’s.
The arrangement? Wow!
Great work and much enjoyed by us,
J&B
Our albums and singles are on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube Music, Pandora and more. If interested search on Janice Merritt. Thanks! Our Videos
