Hi Dani
Cool tune. Pun also intended :-). Your lyrics reminded me of what it is going to be like here in a very short while. Ice, snow and cold weather until April..
Well done
Scott C

Hi Dani,
from the 'race' in the title I expected some wild song.
but it's a comfortable cruising. nice to listen to.
I would have liked it an octave higher though.

Thanx Scott !
Your kind comments are most welcome
and appreciated !:))
To be honest I do not have
the slightest idea where this
song popped up from ! I use to have
half prepared BIAB skeletons
waiting to get some flesh on, but
this came out of nowhere !!!
But you are right regarding the weather !
We are quite up here too and we are expecting
snow any day now down at Helsinki level !:))
Cheers
Dani

Hi, Guenter !
Thanks for your kind comments !
Wild yes, I guess my summer song
was a little more "wilder" but this
is the result of scouring the BIAB
styles and then suddenly stopping
at an interesting one ? Hard to
pass without trying to do something
around it ?
Cheers
Dani

interesting song....
I think you should try raising the key a few whole steps to put it into a key where your vocal range sounds more comfortable. It sounds like you are down at the bottom of your vocal range...
just my 2 cents
You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

Hi, Guitarhacker !:))
Thank you for your kind comment !
Yes I am down close to the bottom
of my range, but not uncomfortable
singing down there. In fact I am
a bass and should be able to go much
deeper still, but I will consider
your suggestion and if I get the
inspiration I might redo it in a higher
key !:)
Cheers
Dani

Dani,
Interesting song. I would have thought you would double that vocal with another an octave higher - you have an amazing range. I thought the instrumentation was low compared to the vocal - it should sit back in it more. Just some simple suggestions. It amazes me that you can sing so well in a language other than your own...

Hi, Floyd !
Thank you for your kind words and suggestions !:))
I have barely three octaves counting the falsetto.
The second octave is not high and stable enough
for me to sing lead in a normal barbershop setting
so I have to stick either with the falsetto (tenor)
or bass !:)) As a result I usually have to drop
the key if I am to sing lead. I might redo this still,
if the spirit arises in me :))Floyd, I take your
language remark as a compliment. Would you believe
me if I´d say that over here one can learn english (american)
just by watching TV ? (chuckle) !:)) Naturally a native
immediately hears the different pronounciation. Maybe it also
helps that all one´s favourite songartists use american or english
and when you have sung their tunes from childhood days
it kinda makes it all a little easier ?
Cheers
Dani

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."
