That’s a beautiful song and a beautiful performance from Kendall and Yona. It would be sad no matter his age, but 25 is such a young age. Kendall sang with the emotion and presence of someone with more years of experience. Your lyric is so good and this last line especially got our attention: “We can still react oh yeah to the wonder of you and me.” We much enjoyed the original post. And this is a nice thoughtful tribute to him. Great write, mix and band also! J&B

The limit is about 2000 bars so there shouldn't be a problem - theoretically. This particular song works perfectly in my testing up to 35 choruses, which is 1120 bars. There is definitely some unexpected behaviour beyond that, so we will need to look into that. I suggest that you set the song to "loop entire song" (overall repeat), turn off the lead-in bars, and set a tag ending to skip the ending bars until the very end. Then just set the song to 5 or 10 choruses so that you get a lot of variation without using a huge amount of memory.

+1 I was just baffled by the Loop button last night. I did write quite a bit about this during testing and this was my first time using it since.

Hi Scott, Glad you liked the song! >>>This is a much more singable (and listenable) melody than the current anthem. Well, talk it up! If it gets adopted as our new national anthem, I'll give you a cut of the royalties. Just think how often it would get played ;-) >>>I particularly like that glockenspiel! Thanks! Most songs have instruments that fill up the low-to-mid frequency ranges, so there's usually some room at the top for a glock or other higher-pitched instrument to inhabit. Bob

A black screen automatic reboot that you describe is unlikely to be caused directly by a normal Band-in-a-Box application error. Even if Band-in-a-Box encounters a problem while regenerating, it would crash back to Windows or display an error rather than reboot the entire computer. It's much more likely to be a driver or some kind of hardware issue that's being exposed. Some things you could try/troubleshoot. Although I do realize it is a sporadic problem so that doesn't make it easy: -Change different audio driver type in Band-in-a-Box - select MME or WAS, rather than ASIO. -Boot Band-in-a-Box in 'safe mode' to test if the problem still happens. To do this, you can (temporarily) add the file safemode.txt to the bb\Preferences folder. When you run Band-in-a-Box, it will use factory settings and will not load plugins. -Check Windows Event Viewer (Windows Logs) after a reboot, and look for any errors shown there immediately before or after the reboot. It may or may not point to what the cause was. -Use chkdsk to scan the USB drive. If possible, see if it happens while running Band-in-a-Box from the internal drive. You could copy the bb folder, excluding the larger folders like Songs and Lessons', RealTracks, and Drums. Then just copy of portion of the RealTracks folder for testing.

A sad song it may be, but it's beautifully put together. It's great use of BiaB instrumentation and it's pretty much a perfect mix. I definitely class it as a beautiful song.

I enjoyed your nice mellow bossa, Chay! I especially liked the piano, baritone guitar and panpipe solos. Very nicely done! Thanks, Bob! I was surprised that the panpipes worked so well. I render oodles of solos to get the best and regularly find that those I think will suit don't, while some I try not expecting them to work actually do.

Love the acoustic sound. The slack guitar is very expressive. Yes, very smooth and relaxing.

Hi Andrew, Nice tune, I liked its rhythm. Your loping bass line sounds cool, and so do the piccolos and drums. Bob

I am sorry Andrew. You were right. I just didn't see the data folder in the long list of instruments...but I looked again and it was there. Did what you suggested and it works now. Thank you very much.

Hi Andi and Deej, Sounds like a great cut from the late 70s. That's quite a collection of talented musicians! Deej has a unique and very pleasant voice - it shines on this one. Very nice production. That guitar just screams - like it should. A real nice visit from a great genre a few years back. Super in all respects. Best to all of you ... Alan Hi Al, Thank you so much for your great feedback. I really appreciate it. I'm glad you liked the song. Best, Andi ;-)

I listened to this when it was released, and I had NO IDEA until today what the hell he was singing about in this song. Neil Young crafted a surreal, time-traveling narrative about environmental destruction. He has often stated that he wrote the lyrics organically while under the influence of drugs, leaving the song open to interpretation.The lyrics move through three distinct eras in human history: The Past: The opening verse paints a quasi-medieval scene with knights and peasants, establishing humanity’s timeless relationship with nature. The Present: The second verse features a deeply personal, surreal vision of Young lying in a "burned-out basement". The lines "Look at Mother Nature on the run in the 1970s" act as a protest against human exploitation of the Earth's resources. The Future: The final verse imagines a dystopian future where the planet is dying. In a sci-fi twist, it depicts the "chosen ones" escaping the ruined Earth in silver spaceships to colonize a new home in the sun, leaving the rest of humanity behind That's pretty much how I had understood it. I had devised a way to sing "Look at Mother Nature Nature on the run in the 2020s" to fit the metre of the song, but chickened out

Defo M AUDIO Air the bees knees . While I agree with you that for price/feature/performance, the M•Audio AIR line is the best around, the AIR interfaces have been discontinued. Only the 1–2 channel interfaces have been superseded with something newer. Amazon still has a new one for $329. eBay and other sites have them in the $150–$300 range. Besides M•Audio, I have a large number of interfaces from MOTU, Mackie, Zoom and a Neuman MT 48. My AIR 192|14 is the one normally sitting on my desktop. 4 mic/instrument CombiJacks (phantom switchable 1–2. 3–4) with enough gain to drive an SM7b + 2 instrument level Ins + 2 line level Ins all with separate USB Outs to your DAW + 4 Analog out incl. 2 Monitor + 4 Ins from your DAW over USB including Loopback + 2 headphone amps + MIDI + USB I/O blend control + power supply & on/off switch (I like to turn it off when not in use) + software suite (that I have never used) + telephone support (yes, M•Audio answers the phone). I also like the top-mounted controls. M•Audio AIR 192|14 ![[Linked Image]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=download&Number=32808&filename=Screenshot 2026-07-19 at 11.27.15 AM.png)

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.
The 2026 49-PAK is loaded with other great new add-ons as well. Learn more about the 2026 49-PAK!
