Here's another original that has been waiting for BIAB to give it life. Me on lead vocal and on one of the box guitar parts. Update 2/25/14: The original Soundclick mix is light on bass and harmony. The Soundcloud mix might be better. https://soundcloud.com/blushasta-music/give-me-a-lawn-chair-honeyhttp://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=12697865GIVE ME A LAWN CHAIR, HONEY (Copyright 2003 Scott H Olson) Verse Some people work to fill their lives with luxuries They live on fine food, drive fancy cars I’ll take a burger and fries any day That old truck out in our driveway Life's just too short for working that hard Chorus Give me a lawn chair, honey, and the stars above Hold my hand you're the one I love Be my baby, I'll be your Romeo Dream while we hold each other tight Lost in the glow of the firelight Wake to the sparkling dew and the morning dove Give me a lawn chair, honey, and the stars above Verse I know sometimes it might seem like we're missing out We stick close to home, don't travel too far But, I've been around I suppose Life is the same no matter where you go We've got it all in our own back yard Repeat Chorus Release What can I say I like it this way Little place of our own and you by my side Where is it stated Things have to be complicated Repeat Chorus Style is _TOBY.STY (Nash Rock, w/ res.guit (120 RS)) RealTracks in style: ~388:Bass, Electric, Metal Ev 120 RealTracks in style: 408:Guitar, Resonator, Background Allis Ev 120 RealTracks in style: ~405:Guitar, Acoustic, Strumming Ev 120 RealTracks in style: 384:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm Rock Southern Ev 120 RealDrums in style: NashvilleEven8^6-a:Snare, HiHat , b:Snare, HiHat Open

All I can say is WOW this is really good, top notch all the way. The instrumentation and mix was spot on, as was your vocal! But those lyrics were what really got to me. Outstanding job on writing those! I think that this is ready for airplay just like it is now!
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.

Scott, this is really great song. What fantastic lyrics, and the backing works so well. The Chorus is really well written, the single section with vocal and guitar, and then rolling back into the full song works well, giving anticipation, and the overall mix is superb. What a great number.

Scott, great write. I feel much the same way. Very good vocal. I think the bass needs to come up a lot more and maybe bring up the drums a bit. But I really like the song. Bring em on.

Life is the same no matter where you go
I love that line-rings so true!! Really good stuff. I love the message. I work 6 days a week and I just love to get home and chill with a beer and the family. The simple things are what make life what it is. Great job!! Take care. Greg

Scott,
Very enjoyable especially the "release" before the last chorus. That added something special to this already enjoyable song.
This is the sort of country I like!

Scott, I love this song! (And I agree with the premise). I never make suggestions. Well, until now.  Please - put a harmony on top of that great chorus - I'm gettin' tired of singing one over it!  Regards, Bob

"Life is the same no matter where you go
We've got it all in our own back yard"
So true. No matter where you go - there you are!
Cool vocal, lyric, arrangement and a nice crispy mix to go with it all.

Scott,
Terrific song. A very solid write - you delivered the message perfectly - very well structured. Excellent chorus.
Good arrangement and production. Terrific vocal. I assume the harmony was added after Bob's comment? Sounds good! - tight...
Your best, I think.
Keep it up!

Hi, Scott !:))
Lawn chair and a couple of piña coladas
or mojitos ? :))We used to have a couple
of those chairs earlier but moving
to the city made them superfluous !:))
I really miss them during summertime !!!!
Your tune is just super in every aspect !
I liked everything about it !:))
Cheers
Dani

The RTs just can't be beat for what I'm doing. Glad you liked the arrangement. I shy away from three chorus songs, but I do write some, so I'm happy the slow section works. Really do appreciate your feedback:)

Hats of to you Tommy for listening and for your coaching on the improved mix. So grateful for your patience and help. Tommy rocks!

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."
