The View From The TopA song about how little understanding you'll find amongst privileged upper middle class and rich people to various struggles as race equality, gender equality, workers rights and paying decent wages. I belong to the privileged upper middle class here in Denmark, which i why I point a finger at myself. Feel free to agree or disagree upon my views.

I'd've liked to read the lyric as I listened but they aren't buried so I'll cope. There's a Gilbert O'Sullivan lilt to the chorus melody - nice. The vocal sounds over processed. Great message & cool song.

Solid production, well-constructed song, and a very good performance. Especially liked how you handled the BGV's. Nice choices re: instrumentation and use of the RT's. Thanks for posting.
Question: What is "Gentle Quirks"?

There's a 60' & 70's vibe to it, where the use of chord progression with 7sus and and Dimished were used frequently.
There's more than a single vocal track, but there's going quite some processing on:
There's a Vocal track 1 octave higher than my normal vox There's my normal Vox There's a track an octave lower than my normal vox The plugin ADT from Wave is used And iZotope Nectar channel strip with compression, EQ, Noise Gate (to minimize bleed) and RX7 De-Click
Here's the lyrics: I can almost sense a new sensation in the air I can hear them marching in the street Rising up against a system unjust and unfair It is a tough one to defeat
On the news they talk about gender equality I really thought that deal was done Luckily this mess has none at all to do with me I just turn my head and then it’s gone
I don’t disagree with their views And I wish them all the best But why do they constantly argue? It makes me so depressed
I’ve been sitting here all life Feeling good about myself
I have been appointed to a nice room with a view Maybe you deserved it more than me I have decided to stay for a while or two Just feeling good about myself
I have an eye for details both at work and in cafes Nothing escapes my eagle eyes An almost naughty smile will truly meet your gaze I do exactly as I like
I did not leave you all alone The temptation was too great And since you have entered my zone I do not need to debate
Cause I’ve been sitting here all night Feeling good about myself
I have been appointed to a nice room with a view Maybe you deserved it more than me I have decided to stay for a night or two Just feeling good about myself
I’ve been lying here all life Feeling good about myself
I have been appointed to a nice room with a view Maybe you deserved it more than me I have decided to stay for a day or two Just feeling good about myself
I have been appointed to this nice room with a view No one has deserved it more than me I have decided to stay for a life or two Just feeling good about myself

Nicely done, Peter. I listened to both YT videos. This is an excellent production. That whistle is hauntingly beautiful. Love your vocal!

Really enjoyed it, especially the chorus. Nice layered sound. Good work.

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."
