........As much as I loved the sound of those, touring with tube amps was just asking for trouble. Hence the reason I always carried spare tubes. That one time I set up and my fuse blew due to a cracked power tube envelope, and having to run up the road to buy a replacement tube was the only lesson I needed. From there on I always had spares with me.

Beautiful vocals, a killer band, super ballad, and overall excellent production with extra points for the vocals and the harmonies. Nothing not to like  ![[Linked Image]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/images/icons/default/thumbs_up.gif) Thanks for listening and commenting. This is one of my favorite songs I wrote with Pat.

When I go over your comments before l listen, they almost always make me think I should expect a train wreck. And then I listen to the song and it's always great! My favorite parts were the chorus and the bridge. Guitars brought a nice flavor to the track. I wasn't crazy about the word 'took' in the first verse. It just sounds off. (Yeah, I'm a nitpick, I know!) But the chorus more than made up for that. Of course your singing is nonpareil, as always. This coulda been a hit in that yesteryear many of us are stuck in. Great job! Thanks, Rob. "Coulda been a hit..." is a great compliment, and we appreciate it! You're absolutely correct, the "took" lyric sacrifices proper grammar for the rhyme. I find the opening verse endearing, even though it's poor English. Wouldn't be the first (or last) time. I am DEFINTITELY stuck in a yesteryear though.

Is it the YT processing engine YouTube has two ways for uploading content. DDEX is only available to music label and distributor partners who use YouTube Studio Content Manager and the YouTube DDEX feed with version 3.6+ of the Electronic Release Notification (ERN) standard. The rest of the world uploads 48K .wav, 24bit preferred/16 bit acceptable, FLAC or 320k mp3 (not recommended but you can). -14 LUFS, with true peaks limited to -1 dB or lower to avoid automatic compression or distortion. Google applies their own compression algorithms so they strongly recommend that your tracks be uncompressed. There are many videos in the Google Help Center on how to prepare your tracks.

Excellent critique; I didn't make it that far in 60 Minutes video. Plus, she says "detridus", so now I finally know how to pronounce it. Those shots of the students with terrible technique (curled or splayed fingers, lowered wrists) with their teenage "teachers" watching without comment had me cringing. I'm a mediocre piano player, but I'd never let my students hold their hands like that. They're going to injure themselves if they keep that up. There are plenty of systems that teach "temporary" notation, but in the end, it ultimately need to be discarded because learning common notation is the end goal. Training wheels can only take you so far. That he chooses to call Am chord an "A chord" is a huge red flag. Having Hans Zimmer behind the project doesn't mean much, because he's an investor. It's not surprising people are choosing to leave 60 Minutes, because this really was just a non-critical advertisement for a franchise. See also this Reddit thread.

Great song, David. There were moments when it seemed as though the arp guitar was competing with the piano for space on the stave. I just wondered if a strummed guitar would have been more effective. Otherwise, the backing band was a good fit for the mood and setting of the song. Some miscreants have regrets (e.g. "Should never have left my fingerprints at the scene!"). Others feel remorse (i.e. that they have suddenly lost their freedom) Some blame others for their predicament, or cheerfully brag about their misdeeds. However, the guy in this song has examined himself and owned up to "the truth of the matter." His conscience has been pricked. He admits that it was all about his selfishness and poor choices. In so doing, he has laid the foundation for his eventual rehabilitation, redemption and restoration. As someone else put it: Cheats will never prosper It's clear they're born to lose It isn't that they're out of luck It's just the path they choose

Hi Bob, Loved the attitude you've got on this one. The vocal difference between verse and chorus, where you narrate the verse and sing the chorus makes this a standout song of yours. Add to that Joliz backing vocal, adds extra weight to the atmosphere. I can see the comparison of Lou Reed and Donna Sommer, but this is still uniquely Bob and Joliz. Great song, kind regards

Well, the problem started on my Win 11 laptop where I tried to run BiaB from an external hard drive. I did a reset to factory settings and it didn't fix the problem. My DAW had no problems on the laptop. Then I moved the drive back to my desktop and experienced the same no-audio poblem. Since my last post I did a factory reset on the desktop and (surprisingly) I now have audio again. Running BiaB on my laptop (right now) is a low priority; so for now we can say problem mainly solved. We'll see how stable it is over the next few days . . .

Update to my download issue: Problem fully solved ! It was an issue with my DSL conection from German Telecom. IP packets get lost and cause slow downloads. As workaround I used Cloudflare Warp this helped immediately. I have now restarted my DSL connection via service portal Telekom and after reset and restart the download works as expected . So issue was definitiv located at German Telecom and a Reset of the DSL connection at Service Portal solved the issue. BR Stephan

40 BPM! Just what I needed to relax on a Sunday evening. I'm definitely in the clouds, happily floating around without a single worry. Great mellow sound with pleasant drums and spacy vibes. That bansuri fits perfectly the mood and your playing is enjoyably dreamy. The melody is beautiful. Not only music, but a life-affirming landscape. Janne

Different than what I expected, but still very enjoyable. Great reggae sound with interestingly detailed arrangement and lush mix. Leon has written touching and socially important message. Peter adds nice fills. Janice is always in her element, no matter the style, nice layering of vocals. Janne

Very nice blues with cool chords and professional production. Dave's guitar cries wildly again and Marty with his bass is always the cornerstone in the middle of any storm. Chris has written an emotionally dark story and her singing sounds like the spirit of a wind that shakes the gutters in the night. Janne

Definitely wistful and melancholic! Very relaxing piece of music. Which BiaB Style did you get the cello from? I ask because I've often used cellos and other strings. I like the Todd Plummer comment on SoundCloud!  Todd's an old friend, ha. I used Real 3268 Cello, Background CelticWaltzNatalie. Some of the gypsy violin RTs are nice too. Thank you for listening.

This sounds like something straight off the radio in 1974. Smoother than any frappucino! The vocal works well, in part because it's singing a good melody/arrangement melody. Well done

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.

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.
