Most parents might find this song self explanatory.

Like You Own the World
By David Snyder

V1

Well I’m gonna miss
Your baby blues
But I think I’ve taught you
What you need to get through
So as you’re packing up the car
Sailing off into the blue
I just have two things
I want to say to you
And as your father
I know that these two things are true

CH

Just remember
You’ll always be my girl
Yeah just remember
You’ll always be my girl
And when you walk out there
With your flag unfurled
I want you walk
Like you own the world
Yeah I want you to walk
Like you own the world

V2

Well I’m gonna miss
All the crazy little things that you do
Because every single one of them
Makes me crazier for you
So as you’re waving from the driveway
Sailing off into the blue
I still have two things
That I want to say to you
And always know
That these two things are true

CH

Just remember
You’ll always be my girl
Yeah just remember
You’ll always be my girl
And when you walk out there
With your flag unfurled
I want you walk
Like you own the world
Yeah I want you to walk
Like you own the world
Yeah I want you to walk
Like you own the world
Like you own
the world

Cool tune. Nice work.

Yeah all I got for right now. Too tired to think critically.

Hi David,

This is such a great backing that you've created. The added cello is beautiful. Then, when the prairie piano enters the mix it lifts the emotional quality of the backing even more. These provided wonderful support for your heartfelt lyrics and performance.

Regards,
Noel

David, you’re a great inspiration You can be very proud of such a dedicated song ‘from the heart “ to someone very dear to you ,never easy to script. Your subtle restrained singing of it was perfect, as was the soft Cello, the piano came in beautifully.

David, Were you always this good or have you lately taken an upward leap in your songwriting? This is a great write and performance of a very relatable song to any of us with daughters. Great fatherly advice. You done good Dad! Tom

This is beautiful, David.

Nothing better than writing from the heart - and it is obvious that is where this came from.

Tasty production - nice build! One of your best. One of your best vocals, too...

Sweet.

Poignant and beautiful song, David. The cello is so tasteful and effective and provides an elegant background for your emotive vocal. I also love the piano -- it's like the varnish that makes the whole track shine just that much more.

Very cool tune David. My son has two daughters and he will be heart broken when they leave the nest. Well done

Could not say it better than Bob. Probably my new fave of yours, from a long list!! I have a 12-year old daughter. She's a tall, graceful, beautiful girl with bright eyes, a big heart and a sharp wit. Hopefully, I can write one like this for her someday! Take care. Greg

I couldn't agree more.

David, this is absolutely your best to date. I don't know how you are going to top this one?

This is so good that if my daughter ever gets married I would like your permission to play this song for the father and daughter dance.

This is a keeper.

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!

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."
