BUT NOW YOU'RE WITH HIM AND YOU KNOW, IT'S DRIVING ME MAD........
BUT I COULDN'T SEE......NO I COULDN'T SEE UN UGHH I COULDN'T SEE, YOU KNOW THAT I COULDN'T SEE..................

Rob,
Nicely done. Good use of BIAB and good additional guitar.
A good Blues Rock style write.
Well sung.
The vocal is a bit hot (in my speakers) - there seems to be some clipping/distortion - and for the style, it could be slightly lower in volume to sit in the mix more (as I think a Blue Rock vocal should "sit down" more than a typical Country song).
Keep 'em coming.

A fun song to play with --excellent changes, Rob. They say love is blind, and you show the other side of it by being blind-sided. Good write. I agree with Floyd about the vocal distortion. You sing it so much much better than it sounds.

Nice chuggy blues rock.
I like the organ part you added.

Thanks for the feedback everyone, I am re-recording the vocal track, I knew there was an issue with it but my hearing loss prevented me from identifying the problem. I will re-post the new mix after I get it corrected. Such a great forum with qualified people to learn from.
Thanks again
Rob

Hello toucher,
Pleasant arrangement to the ear that highlights your lyrics. I really liked the sound playing of your guitar. The mix gives a live atmosphere.
Well done.

Rob,
Good song, great guitar work. I really got into it in that middle section there with the solo, which was excellent. Very strong beat and rhythm really kept it moving along and the changes were right on.

The supplied link didn't work, so I found it the hard way.  Good write - the opening lines pulled me into the song. I'm a sucker for blues. I enjoyed listening!

Hi Rob,
You made it a challenge to listen to your song. The link didn't work, but after some thinking I used the one in your signature and that worked well.
I read in several posts others encountered the same problem. You wrote it was fixed, but I'm afraid this is not the case.
But about the song: it has a nice rhythm, a good band and you sing well in it.
I only think you probably can sing it with more conviction and some variations. That keeps the attention well. And your song deserves that!
Hans

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."
