A blues/jazz kind of thing. I hope you enjoy.

Realtracks for bass and the B3. I played the various guitar parts including the 'siren'. Drums provided by Logic Pro X Drummer. Djembe is an Apple loop.

The Ghost of Amy Winehouse

I went up Bogong Mountain, you won’t believe what I found there
The ghost of Amy Winehouse, pretty red flower in her hair

Her skin shone like diamonds, she sat upon a throne
A dog growled in the distance, I heard a dead man’s moan

Come over, she said quietly, and tell me what you know
I’m stuck inside a prison, she said, 1000 miles from home

I said I don’t know nothing, and that aint a lie
She looked at me kinda sad, and rain clouds filled the sky

Rain it fell for weeks, water all around
Then cows gave birth to calves, flowers filled the ground

I went up Bogong Mountain, you won’t believe what I found there
The ghost of Amy Winehouse, pretty red flower in her hair

What a tune! I love the groove and general vibe of this one. It had me swaying in my seat!

A wonderful tribute for a star taken too soon - thanks for sharing, Matcham!


Cheers,

We had never listened to her until we ran across a video of a duet with Tony Bennet. Then we explored and then we realize what we had missed and how good so much of it was.

This is a very effective package -- particularly the haunting lyric, vocal and groove. Nice guitar also and the Logic drummer did well.

We like the "connect your own dots" lyric

Really well done.

Gracias everyone. Like you Bud I feel I kinda missed the Amy phenomenon when she was around. The media storm around her struck me as tacky and it put me off. Then someone I knew asked me to learn some of her songs. Wow. Even stripped back they punch you in the belly.

Nice laid back blues with a very ethereal lyric and sound.
Very nice song. Next time I'm in Victoria I'll have a look at Mt Bogong!

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

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."
