This is a song that my buddy Chris wrote and I arranged. Chris wrote it for the father-daughter dance at his daughter's wedding. I had previously posted that version on the forum several years ago, for which we went into a studio to record. This version, however, is my other buddy Steve singing lead, and which I re-arranged, recorded, mixed, and mastered. Steve and I did the background vocals. Steve did this for the father-daughter dance at both his daughter's weddings (several years apart). I, unfortunately, won't be able to use it myself, as I have a son and I don't think he would want me to dance with him at his wedding (whenever he gets married).

I think it is a very beautiful song. I hope you enjoy it. I've updated what we originally did to include several RealTracks and better synths. This all started in BIAB and then worked itself to PowerTracks, and now to RealBand.

On Your Wedding Day

John,

It certainly is a beautiful song, excellent wedding dance style to it.
I'll bet the original really added a lot to the occasion.

The vocals are "gentle" and fit the song to a "T".

Thanks for sharing your music with us.

Beautiful.

I particularly liked the mix/blend of the instruments and how the vocals sat just perfectly on top...

Any bride would be grateful to have such a lovely song highlighted on her special day...

Thanks for this song.

This reminds me of an early John Denver tune.

Well written. The BIAB is very well done. Nice, soft vocals. I'm sure your buddy's daughters were very moved.

Hi John,

I thoroughly enjoyed the listen. I bet a whole heap of other people at the wedding did too.

All the best,
Noel

It’s all been said. Excellent song, lyrics, vocals and backing tracks.

Two thumbs up.


Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up.
Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

Thanks everyone for the kind comments. There were few dry eyes when father and daughter danced at all three weddings.

Yep, this is nice! You did a good job on the arrangement, and the vocals fit in nicely. Thanks for sharing it.

The music chosen for the wedding sets the mood for rest of the wedding day.Select a song that makes the crowd happy and allows them to bless the couples and join the song.Contemporary and traditional wedding songs are more popular.

So, let me see. You have a Google Alert set for the word "Wedding", and spam every hit.

Nice.

John,

It's all been said, this is a beautiful production.

Congrats!

PS: Maybe you can have a paint-ball shoot-out or football toss with your son on his wedding day . . . I know it's just not the same I've been there, very nice but still not the same.

Later,

It's funny how a fake account (covered advertising) can
bring a song from July last year up to the top!
But I'm glad I heard it.
It's a very nice song.

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."
