The sky was coming down All around the stars Footprints in the night Lighting up the dark Like a path or a tunnel through the haze Like an axe coming down to spilt the days She’s a vision up against the fading light She’s a ghost in a line of crooked sight
And she don’t pay no mind And she don’t pay no mind Moving in and out of time Baby’s on the mainline
It could have been Detroit Or a condo by the sea In the middle of the night In Kansas City Like a jet or a rocket to the sun Like a war that never will be won I’m on a mission to unwind the crime I’m a shape shifter running out of time
And she don’t pay no mind And she don’t pay no mind Moving in and out of time Baby’s on the mainline
I’m on a mission to unwind the crime I’m a shape shifter running out of time
And she don’t pay no mind And she don’t pay no mind Moving in and out of time Baby’s on the mainline Baby’s on the mainline Baby’s on the mainline Baby’s on the mainline Baby’s on the mainline

Bob, You are one creative guy! Very good energy from this one! I like your use of tremolo. I think it suits the style and "slowing down" things pleasantly. Production is excellent as always.
You have a mainline to the songwriting muse these days. This has all the cool things we expect from your sound and of course, the lines already mentioned that are spine tingling good. I also think its one of your best vocals. Fine work.

Super.
This is so good.
Excellent BAND. Excellent vocal. The balance of instruments and vocal in the mix is perfect.
Hello Robert, what a marvelous song I might say! The different elements really glue well together and the instruments are layered nicely. Fantastic work on the vocals. Thanks for sharing!
I had trouble getting to this as the title made the Kiss song, from Hotter Than Hell, kept jumping into my mind when I saw the title. I wouldn't call them weak rhymes - the are "family" rhymes and more from the frictive set...
Nice backing and chord progression.

Very well done! Love your vocals on this - they absolutely soar. The slow progression on this was perfect also. Some great progressions, and the perfect level of catchy too.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first?

Update your Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows for free with build 1111!
With this update, there's more control when saving images from the Print Preview window, we've added defaults to the MultiPicker for sorting and font size, updated printing options, updated RealTracks and other content, and addressed user-reported issues with the StylePicker, MIDI Soloists, key signature changes, and more!
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."
