Great song, Christian! Music and lyrics, both. Funny, I was just on a youtube channel for speaking French, and it said "Never say something is 'great'. Say, 'It's not bad.'" Well, this is great, je pense. ; )

Nice song, Andrew, the remix's little touches won me over. The first two lines of the verse reminded me of 'Veronica' - the last time I made a comparison like that the user gave me some thinly veiled grief - so please accept it as a compliment and not an accusation of theft. Your song def has its own identity and it's a good one. I played it several times so that's a good sign. Excellent work!

Not bad, not bad at all! It served the song, so you did well. I'm in the same boat. Never was a shredder, but I can only play the slow stuff now. If that. Enjoyed the humorous aspect of this as well. Happy Holidays!

It's a catchy song. The way you sang 'you, you, you' was particularly effective, and the chorus was ace. The song stayed with me for quite a while, which I think is the mark of a good tune. Well done!

Hi Ray! I reckon the mark of a good video is when one pauses listening to an excellent song to make out the non-redacted text of the letter from the CIA files! Well done! Andrew

Wow. Some pretty intense emotions going on here. I feel like an absolute alien, and I kind of have felt that way for the past 15 maybe even 20 years. You people want a Christmas rant to cool things down a bit? I'll give you one. I don't care whether it's AI or not I pretty much absolutely 100% hate the 100% utter stinking talentless garbage crap that's coming out of that sewer hole called the modern commercial music industry with or without AI. The only thing different that AI does is make it worse. People with no clue as to what music or songwriting actually is throwing some immature ideas into a machine, getting something spit back out, and then saying "Wow I never thought I could sound so good!" But it's not you. Nothing about it is you. You didn't do it. You didn't make a song. You made a fish sandwich at McDonald's. It's not real. Fake emotion, fake stories, fake experiences, fake feelings, fake chords, fake notes, fake players, fake everything. But as HL Mencken said, no one ever lost a nickel underestimating the taste of the American public. Music today has the intelligence and musicality of a rotten potato. Happy holidays everybody.

Thanks for the nice comments. Very nice job by all. That's the kind of country music I enjoy hearing. Same here. The Brothers Glaser are one outstanding quartet. Loved it. Thank you Mario.

WaoBand, This is a beautifully crafted song! I liked the gradual build-up of the instrumentation on the intro! The violin is a perfect choice to fill in where needed! The vocal is such a lovely part of the arrangement! You have certainly delivered a very polished pro sound here! The production/mixing/mastering sounds excellent to me! Thanks, TB Thanks a lot, Torrey! I'm pleased with the sound of all of my posts, but none of them are mastered as I don't have enough room left on my PC for more programs. The only one I've tried is Soren AI Mastering, but while it can improve the sound of individual instruments - I've only used it 3 times, twice for guitar solos and once for a B3 solo - the finished product of a complete track never sounds as good as the original, despite the different settings I've tired.

This song is exceptionally brilliant in all respects. I can't praise it enough. A lot of my best songs from the 70s (my 20s) were freeform poetry like this one, but I can't reproduce the music using BiaB and even if I could spend hours recording just my vocals and guitar accompaniment at home where making any loud sound is virtually impossible I can't see how I could incorporate BiaB. But this song makes me really want to. Re the theme, if we lived in real democracies - governments FOR the people and BY humans of love and compassion instead of by servants of the banks and corporations for the banks and corporations - there'd never ever be any homelessness. Most people think of fascism as being outright dictatorship, but I recently read that Mussolini, who coined the term, defined it as "the marriage of the corporate with the state". I can't be certain that's true - you wouldn't find it on Wikipedia anyway - but it's what we've got. Here's a poem I wrote in 2009, actually thematically atypical for me (it's published in one of my poetry books): ======= The Lost Ones Somewhere tonight ... This day ... This moment So many are dying From simple starvation When in truth they need not While others die obese For we live in a loveless man-made world. Somewhere tonight ... This day ... This moment Many persons are being burgled While others are robbed openly, or kidnapped And others are beaten and murdered. Homo sapiens - 'man the wise' - the species Of both guilty and innocent. Somewhere tonight ... This day ... This moment A woman is being raped in the USA And many more the loveless world over While children are being abused: Some beaten, some raped, some murdered as unwanted While somewhere another is recruited to fight a war And is coerced to execute adults and to rape Or is recruited only to sexually service rapists And at this moment Yet another is sold and enslaved. Somewhere tonight ... This day ... This moment A person is being tortured By the command of a despotic government While another is being tortured in a land where Free 'man the wise' elects hi/r own dictators. Somewhere tonight ... This day ... This moment Both children and adults are dying From diseases cultured by others of their own species 'Man the wise' In the name of profit, free enterprise and national security While many others are dying from inadequately tested cures For both natural and cultured viruses Some cures paid for Some malevolently given free As it saves the pharmaceutical manufacturers Testing time and therefore Millions of dollars. Somewhere tonight ... This day ... This moment Another human dies Treading on a land mine Or unexploded cluster bomb While many more innocents are killed in wars By lethal arms Sold for lucrative profit by the dealers of which The five permanent member states Of the UN Security Council Are the most Successful. Somewhere tonight ... This day ... This moment Another innocent person goes to prison Or execution Either due to incompetent courtrooms Or framed By police, prosecutors, or governments Or some without even trial. Somewhere tonight ... This day ... This moment Yet another innocent human vanishes And joins all those who are called "the disappeared" 'Vaporised' by governments who fear their feeble words Or just thoughts. Somewhere tonight ... This day ... This moment Many find they cannot forgive The Lost Ones Who perpetrate these crimes. © 2009

Just watched the New GUI User Interface video. Don’t need multi-view templates and a lot of screen clutter. Only want/need a full screen of chords and lyrics from edge to edge, but keeping the tool bar at top. Is that possible with the 2026 version? Would that require a custom template? No buttons showing on left or right, but a full chord screen for songs in live play. Would appreciate a comment on that, before I order-up the new version. Yes, this is possible. The sidebar menu can be dragged to zero width via mouse, and the mixer can be not shown, leaving only the top bar menu. This is how I work, too...

Noel, ah - ok, I just checked, the Computer gives me the sound of a low note when I enter it into the piano roll for a song. So that's not the cause here. @Dan: Kudos Dan - you only have 24 hours per day and you decide to spend your time with such superfluous comments in a web forum.

Hi, Mario. Isn't there a rule that adding bells to a jazz instrumental makes it a Christmas song?  This was a relaxing listen. Thanx David. Yes jazz rule #27 states "adding bells to a jazz instrumental in December makes it a Christmas song".

Hey Floyd, I'm pretty sure I remember this song from way back when I first joined. Your songs have been making me smile and tap my toes for a mighty long time now and I appreciate all the great songs and all the good times listening to them, and watching you pop these things out. There's a lot of great music going on around this forum these days! Happy holidays man!

… You really have a knack for extremely catchy pop songs that sounded like they may have been on the radio back in the hay day of hit radio songs. I don't know if you ever heard a song called love grows where My Rosemary goes and nobody knows like me or something like that... I can't remember who did that song . . Oh I just looked it up it was Edison Lighthouse... And as it turns out it was the first number one single of the 1970s. The composition and mix kind of remind me of it a little bit. Anyway great song man keep writing them!! Thank you David! Yes, listened to that song many times and played it when I was in a band - I can see how the style is similar. There were also other similar songs of the era that shared the same vocalist*. Writing catchy songs is what I aim for, and because the 60s and 70s had a lot more melodic content, my songs tend to fall in that era’s sound. Recently, I have had a longing to write and record more 90s style music - a decade that doesn’t always get the dues it deserves - in one sense, a renaissance of the 60s and 70s. Thanks for listening and your comments! Andrew * As a prolific session musician, (Tony) Burrows was involved in several transatlantic hit singles throughout the late 1960s and early 1970s, most of which were one-hit wonders, including "Love Grows (Where My Rosemary Goes)" by Edison Lighthouse, "United We Stand" by Brotherhood of Man, "My Baby Loves Lovin'" by White Plains, "Gimme Dat Ding" by the Pipkins and "Beach Baby" by the First Class.

I think BIAB would need to support non-integer tempos for that to work properly. That has been a request since almost forever. I'm still puzzled why that hasn't been embraced. Real Band can do it with the same Real & MIDI Tracks that BIAB uses.
