Hi All, I mentioned to Deej in an earlier post that he and I must have been on the same wavelength. We both wrote a song with the same title and a similar theme. Anyway, here's my song called Light It Up. Looking down our empty street I can see the rain’s still falling And was it yesterday Some real promises were broken I don’t know just what is real Cause I’m aware I’m falling This house is quiet tonight Except for the strangers calling So good So fine Light it up baby Just one more time Before you go Turn it up Burn it down Looking down memory lane I can see the shadows falling And was it in my mind Some final words were spoken I don’t accept what I feel Cause I know you’re falling This is my last appeal Except for the days I’m calling So good So fine Light it up baby Just one more time Before you go Turn it up Burn it down So good So fine Light it up baby Just one more time Before you go Turn it up Burn it down BIAB Tracks: 2474: Bass, Acoustic, Held Ev 085 2505: Piano, Electric, HeldChords 085 1118: Guitar, 12-String Acoustic, Strumming Ev 085 365: Guitar, Acoustic, Fingerpicking Ev 085 832: Guitar, Electric, Rhythm, AltCountryMoody Ev 075 Loop: Chillout/Chillout_dimensions_145 RealDrums: PopPromiseEv16 a:Snare on 4, HiHat, b: Snare As always - thanks for listening!

Powerful chorus, Bob, it's like a balladic version of American Girl by Tom Petty. Well done!

Hi Bob, I mentioned to Deej in an earlier post that he and I must have been on the same wavelength. We both wrote a song with the same title and a similar theme. The wise folk of old say that "Great minds think alike." I suspect that this why the above happened. After reading your comment, I was reminded of another instance of when great minds thought alike. Science abounds with them. You may or may not have heard of the 1711 uproar in mathematics and physics cause by Newton and Leibnitz. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leibniz%E2%80%93Newton_calculus_controversyThe calculus controversy (German: Prioritätsstreit, "priority dispute") was an argument between the mathematicians Isaac Newton and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz over who had first invented calculus. ... Leibniz had published his work first, but Newton's supporters accused Leibniz of plagiarizing Newton's unpublished ideas. I hope that you and Deej can settle any potential controversy amicably. On a more serious note... As always, I loved listening to your work. This song is no exception. In all that you do you always managed to create some wonderful pictures in my mind. Thank you for the journey, Noel

Hi rsdean,
Beautiful arrangement very pleasant. A little melancholy, but not too much. Your voice lives on your lyrics. And it is very good. Well done.

Bob, I like the longing communicated in your vocal and the build to the chorus. A fine simple moody arrangement in your signature style. Very cool music!

Nicely done. What's the odds that 2 songs hit the showcase at the same time with the same title?
You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

Love the range and quality of that soft vocal, Bob. It commands the listeners attention. A very well constructed song. Way to light it up!!

"So good So fine Light it up baby Just one more time Before you go Turn it up Burn it down"
We much like the write and especially that chorus.
Janice commented that your tune made her reflect on Tom Petty ballads...a good thing indeed.
And as always the arrangement is excellent with the band choice and the build. Your use of RD's and percussion loops has become signature and is most effective.
We enjoyed it!

The chorus is sparse lyrically, yet it says so much. I really like it and it is delivered well.
You've got a knack for just the right instrumentation.

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."
