Well done. Did not know the original, so had a listen to that, too. A good cover. fj
Thank you, Floyd, especially for taking twice the time to also listen to the original song. Much appreciated. Of course, it helps a lot if you have a great original to start with
Great job with your windy thingy. You create a depressive and sad mood, very well done. Love that! But, real man™, don't cry, they carry on. Or, as Dave Grohl gently puts it: "Done, done, on to the next one"
Spaghetti western, definitely. Pretty cool choice of guitars, creates the right mood. Sometimes the guitars come in a bit too late for my taste, but that's just a minor nit. Cool song anyway...
I love the dark mood you create with both the lyrics and the really good choice of instruments. I think this is my new favorite song of yours. Well done!
Hi David, To start with the song itself: Great! Very good vocals. Oscar's vocals are very pleasant to listen to, and the BG-vocals too A nice melody and use of instruments. Lovely lyrics. But the thing that amazed me a lot was that ton of work you had to do to create all this! And I read you are able to automize some processes. That's great. I think I once told you that I wanted to do a duet with an AI voice. I bought some vocals from Emvoice, but, beside a simple vocal melody, I couldn't manage to get me that duet. That's why I still use humans... But what you can do is very, very good! Hans
Maybe I just have a sick sense of humor, but I laughed so hard all the way through this that my fat ol' belly was jiggling! Unique song and funny video ... and great sounding bass. Brad
Hi Brad, yes, I think you have a that. Like we. But I gave it some message, along with the fun; Obese is a problem and our food and drinks help to let that problem grow. In my country we have a suggar tax on drinks with sugar in it. I don't know if other countries have it too. Ooh, Belgium too. It doesn't help much, I think. I also let that fat guy overcome his shame. That's a good thing too, I hope. It was Marty's granddaughter (12 yrs) who asked Marty if that man (me) was making jokes on fat people, because she has fat friends to. That's where I changed the lyrics in overcoming the shame. Good thinking of her! And Marty had a lot of fun, while playing the bass. And good too!

Hi Mario, you're always on my party. Well, more to come soon! I am happy you enjoyed the video too. It is always a challenge to make them. Marty does 3 videos a week, I think. I can't. I hope we can do something about it, as I wrote to Brad, taxing those companies so to force them offering more healthy food. I know, healthy food is not fun to eat. We eat vegan meat 4 times a week. I can't say I like it all, but less meat can help on many frontiers. But here we are only for the music. Glad you like it!!!

But most people who diet end up gaining back the weight and more, and an exercise routine is difficult for most people to maintain. Certainly, obesity is a real issue. But from what I've heard from fat people who get told this, this particular message is rarely helpful. Still, nicely done. And yes, even the bass.
Hi David, thanks for the compliments on the song from a musical standpoint. But IM(H)O you missed a point in my song. I don't have the message you wrote I had. Look what I wrote to Brad and Mario. My points are; being fat gives a lot of problems you can't overcome easily. Shame is one of them. But it's good if you overcome that. And we also need to think about how to solve the convenience of getting fat fast food. Taxes are one of them, but these companies must have their own responsibility. Not just the big wallet. But I know that won't be easy. But health problems that arise from this also cost a lot of money. Thanks for watching and listening, Hans
Hi Noel, and here I am, finally! Like-I think- most others here wrote, a beautiful song! And I always compared your vocals with -the late- Robin Gibb. I still do! Immediatly when I hear your voice, I must think of his voice. And I know you don't know him, because you always say that. It doesn't matter. The song is very nice, lovely to listen to, the lyrics are very good. Glad you are back, Hans

Paj. i agree ...ptw is underated...as is rb viz midi. its nice to see you appreciate it cos i feel too few users realise the value. big studios i once frequented sometimes were amazed at its features when i showed examples compared to what they wereuseing. getting older ive forgotten lots of my old midi tricks... fun days. om
Yeah, and the icon menu items are handy but the MIDI Menu in the Edit Menu dropdown has really useful features, including a filter and subfilter in the Replace option which allow you to manipulate a lot of MIDI data quickly and conveniently. I'm editing a few MIDI sets for a band at the moment and it just makes me re-appreciate the feature. I do wish that I was able to record Macros but, still, it just works well with MIDI files. Paj 8^)
Floyd, you and Bill are masters are writing songs. Floyd your vocal was perfect for those lyrics. I could feel the pain in your voice. The backing band was perfect. Loved that guitar vocal duo at the beginning followed by the introduction of other instruments. It was perfect for this song. Loved it.
Thanks, Mario. Much appreciated.

I seriously love what you and Bill have done. The genderless lyrics are perfect for both male and female vocalists. This thought crossed my mind somewhere mid-song, and when it did, I found myself wondering what kind of difference a female singer would have brought to my listening experience. Have you ever had the opportunity to hear a woman sing this? (I'm just curious.) The chorus is powerful-plus, and the mystery of what the bridge lyrics are referring to was a really clever idea for emotional development. It's a technique that has never once occurred to me. It's such a great idea. I'm definitely taking that onboard What stood out to me most was the triplet rhyme of me/be/memory at the end of the chorus, and that pause that's full of expectation before "just a memory". The way these lyrics flowed kept my mind thinking about the song's story beyond the close of the chorus. As I see it, that's '10th dan black-belt' lyric writing! I really enjoyed where you took me with this superbly crafted composition and presentation. --Noel
Noel - Thanks! All that delicious stuff in the lyric is Bill's doing. And he knows what he is doing. It is unusual to find a lyricist (only) who possesses the prosody that Bill has. True talent. A real joy to work with. Interestingly, sometimes that prosody took a while to uncover. He gave me lyrics that sometime took a long time to find the cadence that he heard (since I just had a piece of paper). I'd scratch my head for a while - then when I latched on to it, it just happened - and just flowed...like magic.
Dear Janice and Bud and Vic and Marty, Thank you so much for the listens and the kind comments. You know I only live if I can make you guys laugh, and I hope that I brought just a little bit of humor into this dark and dreary world!! 😂
Cool, Wayne. Yeah, that conga hit me and plastered a smile on this face. Vocals are so good. Love the drive in the song, and Ken shines brightly. Fun Latin groove. My all-time favorite album title is "Tom Wasits. For No One." So good to hear that your muse moved back in with ya.
Yep, fun changes and a cool melody. Vocals could be louder (or maybe my ears could be better). Man, your guitar fits in so well, adding an extra ton of excitement. Ronnie, I love the title and how cool it is to sing over your melody. A real tongue twister, but once it's untangled it flows off the tongue like an old prayer.
Hi Marty. This sounds really great. I love the writing, the arrangement and the production. Your lyrics are excellent. The standout for me was Verse 2 where you said...
Quote
Everything we try seems another way to prove we lost the love we found. We should hear our song is changing, and rewrite it to a fade. We tried our best and failed. Our love boat simply sailed. Our course is clearly laid.
When you sang, "we lost the love we found" it really hit home. Those words were very powerful and they setup the last line of the verse so that it really resonated and made me think a lot. Musicianship sparkles everywhere in this creation. --Noel
WOW, thanks, Noel. Really appreciate your depth and wonderful comment.

Cool vocal - though perhaps a little too far back in the mix. Ace steel. Another classic Martypiece from the fecund furry. I enjoyed it heaps.
HAHA. Thanks, Ray. Love your gift of gab-- your turn of a phrase-- your eloquent form of comunication. It's funny how we're always telling each other to turn up vocals.

The pedal steel sounds great And that cool vid that must’ve taken quite a bit of time. Enjoyed it! J&B
Thanks, J&B. I'm more of a sophist. If someone gets overly positive, I'll throw some negatives at them. hehe Curating stills from CoPiot is much more rewarding than trying to find the right video on pexels or pixabay.

Thank you, floyd. Like lyrics, I'm not sure where that accordion idea came from, but I needed something different for those parts, and it worked nicely.
Like the custom tab in BiaB +1 Many of the icons are already under tabs like the window views. Many others could be placed under a tab and then many could be eliminated so that the icon area at the top does not take up 25% of the screen real estate. Clean this up and RB would look far better and more space available for the tracks and such.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
