https://soundcloud.com/user-108834131/time A little life experience few months back served to remind me that time is a ‘gift voucher, not a guarantee slip. Bal.85.F sty Ctry Bal RT 536 Bass Acoustic Drums Nashville even 8^2 side stick Hi hat Rt 522 Guitar Acoustic Fingerpick Rt 1112 Fiddle Background Rt 1543 Synthpad pop believe others all midi Time is like the ocean it will not bend to your call The lines upon your face is your journey time tells Our lives are but times circles what goes comes again Hey old man time Oh old man time I’m counting all my sunsets the length of my days but time it counts for nothing just goes on its old ways For I am just the dust time made and time will blow away I paid for my wisdom as time turned my hair to grey Our lives are but times circle what goes comes again hey old man time cant slow old man time Don’t try and seek for more time the lengthen of your days times a taker not a giver he will not change his ways He will be here when earth crumbles and the stars they burn away he has seen all our tomorrows as he saw our yesterdays So find the time to love for where it goes it stays that’s one chain unbroken that time cannot erase Our lives are but times circle what goes comes again So find the time to love for where it goes it stays the one chain unbroken that time cannot erase So find the time to love for where it goes it stays the one chain unbroken that time cannot erase ‘Time’ the song © Paddy G 2016

Really nice job on this Paddy!! Arrangement is perfect, and fiddle is very sweet. Great concept with the personification of time. Nice heartfelt vocal. Great all the way around! You should check out "Time the conqueror" by Jackson Browne-cool song, similar theme. Take care. Greg

A good opening, Paddy.
Good to hear another from you.

PaddyG, if not for the actual country feel I'd has sworn this was Tom Rapp from the cult legendary Pearls Before Swine - late 60s psych band. Lovely stuff. Lyrics are a cautionary tale that needs to be told again & again in as many ways as possible. Here's a link to my rather more bombastic take on the topi, (please do not feel compelled to follow the link - just a contrast for me on the topic at hand). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNUNF0opCdc
Cheers

Hi Paddy,
Let me quote Greg, because he expresses my thoughts perfectly: "Really nice job on this Paddy!! Arrangement is perfect, and fiddle is very sweet. Great concept with the personification of time. Nice heartfelt vocal. Great all the way around!"
Enjoyable listen.

This is a very strong write and performance. Good mix and excellent arrangement. Your vocals fit the lyrics and melody quite nice.
Enjoyed my listen.

Hi Paddy,
Your songs remind me of the folk music here in the states that was so prevalent in the 60s. You strike me as a Dylanesque poet, writing relatively uncomplex tunes that let your more complex lyrics breathe.
Like so many of the songs from that era, your songs have consistently made me stop and think... (that's a good thing!)
I'm so glad you joined the forum, as I think you bring something unique to the equation. I like your songs.

Simply a great song, sounds like folk music is very similar all around the world. Who did you listen to growing up.

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."
