This song was inspired by a strong feeling experienced during a Sunday walk about a new opportunity life has given. My lyrics are usually quite melancholy, but I hope this one brings more positive feelings, despite some of the clichés of the genre. Thanks to Miira for the touching interpretation of my vision, without her dedication to my music I wouldn't have made this song.
I walked blindfolded, couldn't see what I was looking for to be drawn. I was a poet stuck in-between chapters couldn't find right way right day to move on. You have to act when you get a chance don't wait until the final dance your turn is over before you realize forget what ifs and improvise.
You turned a new page in my life you opened my eyes to see a whole new virgin scene right in front of me. You gave me colors to paint the view beautiful and unique to my art on the blank canvas of my heart.
My mind was aging in the sunset thought I couldn't feel a rousing breeze but sometimes life catches you by surprise gives a strange opportunity for you to seize. Don't hesitate to take a leap to feel euphoria in deep no more regret for choices of your past nothing here is meant to last.
[Chorus]
Leaned on the wind embraced the lift of air you were there for a while with one starry night to share. Inspired I made a song wrote a poem drew a flower cast shallow things aside didn't waste an hour.
You gave me words for my songline the path across the fate of mine I didn't need any signs to choose my track I went ahead and didn't look back.
You captured a great ambiance, and Mira's work on the vocals is great & quite remarkable.
It was refreshing and definitely encapsulated a 'New Page'. The vision helped to illustrate to meaning of the song.
Everything about this is enjoyable.
Thanks, I really appreciate your kind words. Yes, she really did great work on the vocals. I'm glad you found the vision helpful I hope that people can find their own interpretation behind the images.
Very beautiful song with nice vocal. Especially the melody line is excellent. It is also favorable to try various chord progressions. Enjoyed my listen and watch a lot.
Really pretty song and nice video!! The vibe is wonderful. There is something dissonant going on in the 3rd and 4th chord from the start of the vocal. It happens again later with same changes. Mira has a really unique and pretty style, although she may be a bit pitchy at times. Really pretty and emotionally expressive song. Enjoyed much!! Take care. Greg

Thanks Shigeki for your positive words, listening and also watching the video By the way, I was listening to your Coffee Talk while writing this, what a lovely jazzy tune with great vocals.

Thanks Greg for your valuable feedback, always pleasure to hear what you think. I'm glad you liked the song and the video. About the dissonant part, the song is in Eb key, in the 3rd bar there is a chord with a B note, and at the same time the melody plays Bb. That is intentional, I know it is not perfect, but quite close to my ears. I couldn't find anything that sounded better.
Jeanne, very good work!! Thanks for spreading positive vibes !! Nothing will do that more than walking through nature and looking at what God has provided . Thanks, Torrey
I love this one! Nothing like going for a walk to inspire deep thinking

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."
