This is very creative. Loved the intro. Super vocal and loved the backtrack. And one more thing. Welcome to the forum. Look forward to hearing more of your music. Well done

The dirty vinyl effect at the beginning was unconvincing.
The band is cool.
The female vocal has the 30s shellac recording thing but the voice is very similar to Australian girl Tones who had a hit recently and all media seemed saturated with THAT sound.
Lyrics, melody are cool.


Cheers

Pretty Cool!
Great sound and some interesting bits to keep the interest.

Very nice song, love the vocals.
Only recommendation is to massage the vintage effects a bit, they seem inconsistent.

Nice job,
Moto

Very cool sounds, and welcome to the forum, (can I call you) 860. Great use of the Gypsy Swing thing. Vocals are superb. I read it a few times, but still miss the Buddy Holly reference.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Thank you for listening!

kinda long winded explanation

In learning about song writing and methods there is a lot of talk about "deep and meaningful lyrics, something personal, etc." and a number of books point to the complexity of American Pie which was written about Buddy Holly and others.

These lyrics in this song are just place holders, I wanted to craft a complete song so just needed vocals that fit musically for me which I would replace later.

When I previewed it for someone they mentioned how the lyrics were so profound and "what did they mean to me?" and I was "um, actually, nothing." :-)

So many song writing books and courses go on and on about lyrics meaning something and several of my favourite jazz songs have just 4 lines (swing on nothin') or 8 (My Blue Heaven), its about the feeling of the song for me and the joy of singing along.

have a great day!

Not what I expected, but exactly as advertised on the tin!

I'm with Deryk - strong vocals. Nicely done.

If the lyrics work - and they do for me - call it done and move on! laugh

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

I really love the way vintage music sounds, and adding the modern style vocals gave it a flair I wasn't expecting but gelled really well with the arrangement that was made! Very well done, and great job with the mix as well.

Hi 860 ...

Although Ezekiel's comments were brief and to the point, I think he nailed it. I agree with each of his descriptions. That was a great listen! You had me engaged until the very end. Sweet!

Wishing you the very best. Be safe ...

Alan

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."
