Lyrics I was thinking of a day I the mountains in France Wondering if maybe I’d take a chance on you And you’d take a chance on me too I was walking through the forest with a glint in my eye The clouds drift away and above me the sky is so blue Almost too good to be true Poor as a beggar and drunk as a loon He cursed her sweet name and he howled at the moon And said don’t you worry my friend we’ll all be dead soon He laughed like he does and ran a hand through his hair Fixed me like an insect with a basilisk stare Said oh you glib shallow Johnny just have a care So I walked home alone I was tired near to death I thought of the places I should never have left I thought of the places I should have left well alone I was thinking of a day a storm on the ocean I was thinking of the words that set things in motion with you From such a small seed it all grew I was walking through the shallows where they reflected the clouds I was feeling like an Emperor I was singing aloud I was wine drunk on happiness and wondering if it was allowed Hard on the outside and soft underneath Desperately seeking a set of beliefs She brought me some comfort she brought me some blessed relief She asked me for distance I granted it gladly We both needed assistance but I knew ‘twould end badly So with some hesitation I wished her goodnight and went home I was thinking of a day I the mountains in France Wondering if maybe I’d take a chance on you Almost too good to be true

First Anne-Marie wants to compliment you on your rhyming scheme in the beginning of the song: "I was thinking of a day I the mountains in France Wondering if maybe I’d take a chance on you And you’d take a chance on me too" Rob compliments you on your very wise choice of RTs. He's a big fan of the Brent Dreamy and Baritone RTs. We particularly like your solo guitar work. Once again very good vocals by Leon.

It all works well for me. Love the guitar tone. Enjoyed it!! J&B J&B Videos J&B Soundcloud J&B Website

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."
