Here's a song about growing older - hope you enjoy. All RT's in BIAB and mixed to a Tascam DP-008. Thanks for listening...

Bob

http://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=10271938

There was a girl with shimmering hair
Sometimes her name escapes me
She was always running through the falling rain
How long would it take her to love me
Slow and easy as a river winds
Those days play out around me
The warm north wind is leaving again
And the days of autumn surround me

Chorus:
Goodbye, Silver Girl, we've come to the end of our world
So long, Silver Girl, I'm glad we gave it a whirl

Silent strangers and early days
A well worn welcome home
The ghost of your love still lingers on
Like a slow burning candle at dawn
Storm warnings and sinking ships
We never heeded with much precision
Finding home sweet home and naming the dog
Those were the big decisions

Chorus: repeat

Two rivers and a summer dance
Someone that I used to know
Now the best days that I can remember
Is when we'd take the long way home
Sometimes there is a voice I hear in my head
Like you're calling from a telephone
And it follows me down the long hallway
So I am not traveling alone

Chorus: repeat

All I can say is WOW!

This is one fantastic song.

Great vocal, lyrics and mix. Two thumbs up.


Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up.
Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

Hi Bob,

I'm sitting here listening on my headphones right at this minute.

The minute your song started playing, I was whisked back to the folk/pop era of the 60s/70s. Then, as your song unfolded, I found myself sitting here with my foot tapping and singing along with the choruses.

Thanks for a great listen!
Noel

Like Noel, I also found myself singing along with the choruses.
Good Job.

Hey Noel, thanks - your words are very appreciated. The 60's/70's was my era for music

Hi Bob,

What i like best about your writing is the way you paint your lyrical images without getting overly poetic. That's easier said than done and a huge credit to you as a writer in my opinion. I also think you choose nice melodies.

I'm sending you a PM with some specific comments because I don't want to break etiquette here since you didn't ask for any critique.

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

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."
