Latest song from Chris Spruit and myself. Mostly BIAB with the exception of a couple of guitar parts from me.

I discovered by accident that BIAB now supports loops, they must have snuck that in when I wasn't looking :p So this also has a couple of loops, Chillout: Tear Drops 79 and Lounge_85_fx.

Here: https://soundcloud.com/blue-attitude/99-degrees-featuring-chris-spruit

EDIT: Added the lyrics as per Guenter's request

99° (Riding on a rainbow) lyrics by Christiane Spruit


rising up
falling slow
there's a certain golden glow
nearly there, to touch the sky

praying, down
on my knees
only 99 degrees
but it is burning like a fever

what goes up
yes I know
must come down for all below
it’s worth trying to fly much higher

take a force of the blow
I am RIDING On A RAINBOW
THROUGH THE SKYLINE
Tears may fall FROM YOUR HAND
vanish in upon the land
won’t let loose
I'm falling for you

call from grace
warm embrace
holds me in a higher space
to behold your loving face

praying, down
on my knees
only 99 degrees
but it is burning like a fever.

what goes up
yes I know
must come down for all below
it’s worth trying to fly much higher

take a force of the blow
I am RIDING On A RAINBOW
THROUGH THE SKYLINE
Tears may fall FROM YOUR HAND
vanish in upon the land
won’t let loose
I'm falling for you

Thanks John!

Thanks Guenter. I edited the top post and added the lyrics as she gave them to me as per your request. She might have changed them around a bit slightly, but they will be close.

Thanks very much Bob! Yeah, I love the way she sings smile

Dave/Chris,

Enjoyable listen. A captivating sound to the production. Nice guitar...

An almost "haunting" vocal. Nice.

The loops are a nice touch. Good mix.

Dave and Chris,

What a terrific presentation. I sat here with my eyes closed and travelled along with you both. The arrangement is wonderful, very creative and compliments Chris's very competent vocals beautifully. Really, really nice work both of you.

Regards,
Noel

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."
