THERES AN OLD SILVER TRINKET BOX
WHERE GRANDMA USE TO SIT
AND ITS FULL OF PRECIOUS MEMORIES
OF THE LIFE THAT SHE LIVED


THERES A FRAME UPON THE MANTLE
THATS NOW FADED BLACK AND WHITE
OF GRANDPA IN HIS UNIFORM
DATED NINETEN THRITY-FIVE
PRECIOUS MEMORIES
ARE ALL THAT WE HAVE LEFT
PRECIOUS MEMIRIES
WE GO ON BUT DONT FORGET
THE TIMES WE SHARED WITH FAMILY THERE
ARE SPEICAL AND ARE FEW
LAUGHTER LOVE AND GOD ALONE
ARE WHAT PULLED US ALL THROUGH
PRECIOUS MEMORIES OF ALL THE LOVE WE KNEW

THAT FRONT PORCH SWING COULD TELL SOME TALES
IF ONLY IT COULD TALK
IT WOULD TELL OF THE TIME THAT SHE SAW
HER TRUE LOVE GO TO WAR
IT WOULD STAY SO STILL AT THE BIRTH OF HER FIRST GRANDCHILD
THEN SWING WITH JOY AND FREEDOM WHEN A NEW LIFE HAD ARRIVED


PRECIOUS MEMORIES
ARE ALL THAT WE HAVE LEFT
PRECIOUS MEMIRIES
WE GO ON BUT DONT FORGET
THE TIMES WE SHARED WITH FAMILY THERE
ARE SPEICAL AND ARE FEW
LAUGHTER LOVE AND GOD ALONE
ARE WHAT PULLED US ALL THROUGH
PRECIUOS MEMORIES OF ALL THE LOVE WE KNEW

I think in this song you really fused that sort of sad tone with a more 'precious' vibe. By that I mean that I can definitely feel that there's a tender remembrance there that underlies the rest of the song. It's a nice mix of warm memories but of missing someone.

Thanks for sharing.

That is a lovely song Biglad.
Nice backinga nd a well recorded vocal.(though you dip down on the 1st syllable at the beginning of each stanza.
The only suggestion I'd make is to EQ the kick drum to take some of the modern aggression from it &/or change any compression on it - possibly tweak the attack.
A big taste of The King in this one too.


Cheers

John,

What a fine song! Excellent write.

A fine production - nicely mixed. A heartfelt vocal.
I'd have to disagree with ray's assessment of the kick. It sounds great on my monitors.

This one "has it all". Your best.

Nice work on this one, Brad smile It sounds really heartfelt and sincere, and you can really feel this one in your soul. Nicely catchy as well, and some good progressions here. It flows beautifully.

Thanks for sharing!

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."
