Wow, this was so beautiful, Noel! And you're always so positive! I am not ignorant of the beauty in the world, but the bad stuff is hard to escape. However, we need lovely songs like this to balance things out. Great work, I'm humming it already!

As protest songs go, I'd place it up there with the works of Dylan, Simon, Guthrie, and Paxton. This one has a modern vibe to fit the times we are living in. Insightful and thought-provoking, the quiet, reflective mood of the music adds to rather than detracts from the hard-hitting lyrics (as did Paul Simon's "Side Of A Hill"). Thank you for your _really_ nice words, Brian  I really like Paul Simon's lyrics and songwriting, so it would be a worthwhile goal to become even half as good as him. That would be a dream...

Your voice sounds so - different.  Good song, with a strong "Carpenters" vibe that I really like. Add some vocal harmonies, and it really sounds like her. Beautiful, a little melancholic, but still full of positive energy. Enjoyed my listen. A lot!

Well I have to confess that what I know about the Jazz genre would fit on the back of a postage stamp and still have room for War And Peace!! That said, I really did enjoy this song, thought that Suno did a great job with the vocals and the lyrics and overall mix is, imo, top rate. I can hear a certain Mr Bublé singing this! Nice job sir!

Not exactly my favorite genre, but you did a really good job, great arrangement, very tasteful choice of instruments, and the saxophone was THE perfect choice. Very convincing singer. I could easily imagine listening to your song in a bar while drinking a good French wine. Thumbs up Thanks, BD!

Timeless jazz with a pleasantly mellow arrangement. The vocals work fine. I like the lyrics, especially the jump from the doubt over the break-up moment to the brighter days. The sax really serves the song, I was just wondering would it work better to have shorter sax passages, but more often. Janne Janne, that would have been better, I was just being lazy. When I came up with the main melody riff (I Knowww...) I was so pleased with myself that I said, "My work is done here." So I hurried the production because I wanted to hear it right away. Maybe one day I'll do a version 2.

Rob, lounge jazz at its absolute best. The synth vocal is outstanding, it sounds so real. Your backing band fits like a glove. Replacing your harmonica with the sax was a good idea as it belongs in the lounge jazz genre. But maybe you should post the harmonica so we can hear the difference it would have made. Great lyrics and mix. Loved it Thanks, Mario! I really went back and forth regarding which version to post. I like what I did on harp, but in the end, I just couldn't top that lush tenor sax tone.

Hi Rob! I followed the rhymes in your lyrics closely - Knee Wobbler and I have an assignment dealing with rhyming - so knowing your attention to prosody, I was interested to see what you did in terms of both phrasing and rhyming. Very good! Andrew Thanks so much, Andrew! I'm afraid I spent only a few minutes on the lyrics this time and they are not up to my usual. I got lazy, not sure why. Looking forward to hearing what you and Lee produce!

The ability to add a count-in click to a loop would be awesome. When I hit F10 to start a loop playing, the play starts immediately before I can get my hands back on the instrument.

Rob, super write and uber cool laid back performances. Nice traditional backing track, and the vocalist fills in nicely. That sax solo turned out great, but I'd still love to hear your always-on-point harp. Heck, I'd love to hear you sing this, too. But that's just me being selfish. Love the song! There's a lurch in the backing track at 0:16 that may be fixable, but I'm not sure what it is. Most noticeably, the strings drop in volume rapidly. Didn't detract from my enjoyment of your awesome song though. Thanks, Ron. Thanks for always encouraging me to play harp! I hope to get a new mic and pedal dedicated to harp soon and that will get me playing more blues for sure. I'm really excited about it, it will give me that Chicago sound that's been missing from my harp efforts. It's a chunk of change but I figure it's worth it. Funny how expensive it is to properly record a cheap little harmonica! Not really cheap anymore: a set of correctly tuned Hohner harmonicas can cost more than a US made strat. I knew about the drop-out but I was hoping I could get away with it. Guess not ; )

I thought you were a keyboardist, but you're very good on guitar as well! Andrew Thanks, Andrew, Guitar is my main instrument (and I only take stringed instruments to live performances). My keyboard skills (if you could call them that) are minimal, and with midi I can correct many mistakes without having to record whole sections 10 times or more!

Hi Rob. The vibe of this song pulled me right into the music from the start. I love this slow cocktail-style jazz with reflective lyrics and music and words that are a perfect fit. --Noel Thanks, Noel. I'll bet you would have sung this beautifully!

Hi Rob, What a pitty I didn't hear you do the singing. Suno claimed that part for himself. But Suno's voice is a bit too polished for my taste. I would have preferred a smoky, raw voice singing those beautiful lyrics. Couldn't you persuade Suno to find one for you? Or do it yourself (after two (small) glasses of whisky)? I'm curious! Hans Hans, of course I sang a vocal to this so that Suno could copy it. But believe me, my vocal stunk. I was pretty happy with the Suno vocal, I thought it had a Buble feel. You mentioned whiskey, but whenever I want to sing gruffly, my secret is too eat a dark chocolate candy bar. That seems to work for me much better than whiskey.

This is another song that I rediscovered when going through my collection of unfinished material. I started this song a number of years ago, and I've tried a couple times over the years to complete it. While I was satisfied with the melody and chord progression, getting a final set of lyrics that 'worked' always eluded me. Towards the end of last year, I tried again. This time the stars seemed to align for me. With the help of Synthesizer V for vocals (using the Natalie 2 vocaloid), this is where my somewhat long and roundabout journey took me. I hope you enjoy it. --Noel BIAB Band Piano: MIDI Supertrack 2103, Piano, Rhythm PopShiningA-B Ev 120 (with EZ Keys 2) Bass: 518, Bass, Electric, Pop HalfNotes Ev 085 Guitar: GS2 MIDI Rhythm Guitar Drums: NashvilleSkip^07-Snare Production Info (yet to come)

I'm thinking about upgrading for the first time in a long while. What new real tracks come with that upgrade? I've gotten confused in the past, thinking I was getting something when they were actually extras. I have a very narrow genre, Celtic, oldtime and I've borrowed from bluegrass. Sure wish we could pick and choose which RealTracks we got. I don't use 85% of them.

All the elements of a good song are here: good melody, lyrics, vocal and instrumental performance. I didn't hear influences so much, I felt like the song had its own unique vibe. Great work!
