Nice catchy tune. It reminds me of another song but I can't place it at the moment, which is a complement to it's catchiness. Good work. Vic

A gritty, raw yet polished sound, and a story that gives Quentin Tarantino ideas for his next film. I love how Dave's guitar and your (really great) vocals interact. On my third listen now. Excellent stuff  ![[Linked Image]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/images/icons/default/thumbs_up.gif) Haha. Thanks, Brain. QT doesn't make underground shorts, but if he did... Since December i've remixed/remastered over 120 songs from the last 5 years. Dave is on most of them. When you hear them all one after the other like that, you really come to appreciate just what Dave does for a song. I can't top what I wrote on the YT post ~ What a terribly, terribly, terribly sad song! 😪 Yet ... Yet ... Yet .... Dave's guitar is sooooo sexy! I wept in both woe and glee! 😂🤣😂 ~ but I always want to say great wordage re the 12 bar and 12 bars, blue. Very creative idea! Thanks, Chay. And especially thanks for taking the time to say so on YT, too. Marty and Dave, you have posted many great songs but IMHO this is your best to date. Of course I am bias as I love the blues but so what. Great vocal and lyrics. Dave's outstanding chops compliments your vocal perfectly. Loved it Thanks, Mario. Oh, i know you are a Blues fan. You live like right between Dave and me, and i often imagine the ability to get together at your place some Sunday for a jam. Ha! Too cool for school. Side splitting write. SUPER vocals and a SUPERB guitar part from Dave. Crisp BiaB backing track. What's NOT to like? Nuthin' is the correct answer. "Who's Alice?!" Ha HA! Totally relate to how you've grown through this forum's interactions. Thanks for everything, Ron. Yeah, that's how it goes with me and lyrics. i just sit back and wait. The first line came from who knows where, but then i needed a word to rhyme with Dallas. The rest is his story.

Good advice for any duelist. A good write Aurealius and Kathy. I was singing along with this catchy melody. Like Andrew said, What? It's over? Yeah, definitely worth more than a coupld spins. Well written and produced.

Ah, you know i'm a toms fan, Ron, but yes, these drums sound much better for this song. And where you use them now adds to the dynamics.

Oh, this is so beautiful, Ken. Not just the wonderful composition, but the magnificent time-lapse clips in the video. The tune opens up with them. Mimi's vocal adds so much goodness to the whole.

You know how they say your song's gotta grab 'em in the first 10 seconds. This one grabbed me right from the acoustic opening. Fine arrangement, progression and mix. The vocal is so darn good and the lyrics are so inviting. Good idea building the ending with harmony and clapping percussion. An uplifitng sing-along.

A song of hope and direction. The pause after the solo was well placed. We need people like you to write & present songs of this caliber and persuasion...carry on the excellence in your good works. Thanks, Ray. We need people who are swayed and anchored by the sentiments of this song, which don't come with a price tag. This is how I feel when I'm in nature or watching a bee collect nectar or looking at the mountains here in Virginia. I really like the melody: engaging with a slight touch of awesome mystery. Thanks, Scott. i like that "...engaging...mystery." Love the instrumentation in this song Marty. Love how the song climbs the scale. What a stellar mix. Sounds so cool on my studio monitors. Excellent vocal and lyric. Well done.. Thanks, Scott. i like thinking that one of my songs is playing in Vancouver. i was only there once, but loved everything about it.

<< I still wish that they would go back to the days where you could sample your chords over the style that you are auditioning without loading it onto your project, potentially messing up your project. That was a pretty good feature, I felt.>> I wonder if you and others are aware of how the upgraded system works, or at least how I've learned to use it? It seems designed to not mess up a project. It's fast because of the algorithm upgrades made around 2022, It accounts for the undo feature request with a better method than the normal undo feature most folks are accustomed to. In the upgraded StyleMaker, BIAB can be set to automatically track and save your searches and save your searches in a small text file that can matched with each project as a set. So, in your folder, just as audio files can be saved with projects, StyleMaker searches can too. Favorite Styles can be marked and included in this saved file as well. With this system, you simply open the associated text file along with re-opening the project and you have instant access to the associated search and favorites. Multiple Search/Favorite sets can be made and organized to user's convenience and workflow. A search/favorite set tracks 250 recently accessed/ auditioned Styles and 75 Favorites. If a search exceeds these limits, simply name and save the set and open a new one, and continue your work. So, even if you were to search 1,000 Styles, saved into five sets, the user can still have instant access to the original Style if they desire simply by marking it as a Favorite at the beginning of the project. I recall in the older version, BIAB still loaded the Style to audition over user input chords. It was done in the background and it always began at the beginning of the song and was limited to a preset of four bars unless edited by the user. Now, the entire chord chart is available to be auditioned and the user can move to any location on the chord chart even if the song format is multiple choruses. I've attached a screenshot of the Recently Used/Favorites Dialog Window

Hi Rob! I am aware of this song but only the final (title) line of each verse, so now I can say I’ve heard the whole thing. Your harp solo sounded as smooth as silk, and loved your scatting as well. The scatting pulls the listener back to wanting to hear words again, so it’s a kind of tension and release move. Loved it! Andrew Andrew, the scatting had the same effect for me, it pulled me back to the vocal. Thanks for such a nice review!

I'm running BIAB and a heap of layered development products on a PC I built in 2008. I went high-end with what CPU's that were available at the time, and plenty of RAM. The only change I have made since is replacing the spinners with SSD's. And it's had several O/S upgrades. 18 years on, this PC is still delivering the goods, absolutely perfectly. You beat me AT. Fifteen years ago I did the same as you. That at the time high-end CPU and lots of ram. The only thing I did was to increase the Ram to 32 gigs and replaced two HDs with SSDs. But I am pushing it to its limits and it is not Win 11 compatible. I am going to keep it until the chip prices come way down, regardless on how long that will be. I figure the Win 11 machine will be the last that I will ever buy so it will also have a high-end CPU and lots of ram.

I'll be your friend Ron..... in a mate sense!! You have great songwriting sense, both lyrically and musically. And I've probably said on previous posts, I love your unique vocal quality. Great arrangement, you've always got a winner in your back pocket. Kind regards

It's not a case of having tolerate the listen Floyd. That's a really nice tune and use of the Mandolin. Oh, and then there's the interplay with the electric guitar, great change up. Enjoyed it immensely.

Hi Vic Really nice song, well played and well sung. My first impression of the vocal production was it wasn't clear and at the forefront, but in retrospect it works with the reverb giving it that "Lost In Space" effect. Really enjoyed, great stuff. Kind regards

Hi Marty You sure can sing and play the blues, and Dave did you proud on the solo. Blues only improve with age, and at 40 years old this is only getting better. Worthy of a jam with Joe B. Kind regards

This is a really beautiful serene composition Mario. I've listened to it several times and keep getting more from it with every listen. The string arrangement and cellos really work that sense of peace and ease. Flawless as always. Love your work Mario. (well, it's not work is it? Anything you enjoy isn't work) Kind regards

Anybody getting a good midi or other notation format export? Tried midi into MuseScore 4 and the playback is better than XML but the notation is a mess to clean up.

Thats a tough one lasting 10 years.... No it's not. Not at all. Thats a tough one lasting 10 years. Only with a PC. Incorrect & total nonsense. I'm running BIAB and a heap of layered development products on a PC I built in 2008. I went high-end with what CPU's that were available at the time, and plenty of RAM. The only change I have made since is replacing the spinners with SSD's. And it's had several O/S upgrades. I've got plenty of other systems (including two Macbooks), but this one is my daily driver. 18 years on, this PC is still delivering the goods, absolutely perfectly.
