Hi all, With this rock ballad, David again made me benefit from his talents as an author and performer. https://soundcloud.com/christian-devienne/leave-me-softlyI never knew you felt so empty I never meant to make you cry I know for all my sins One day there’ll be a reckoning And you might hurt me with goodbye But you ain’t got the kind of heart to kill me, baby You would never play the part of pain If you wanna go then let me know real easy If you’re gonna leave, baby won’t you leave me softly I can’t blame you for your anger I’ve got my own faults to face So you have every right To lash out, girl, with all your might And make me pay for my mistakes I know the wrongs I’ve done The countless times I’ve cut and run So what should I expect But to die a million little deaths But your a kinder soul You could never be as cold So when you want to strike and flee Just remember you ain’t me I hope you know how much I’m sorry How much I need you by my side And if you ever find the nerve To end me, love, like I deserve It’s only fair I let you try But you ain’t got the kind of heart to kill me, baby You would never play the part of pain If you wanna go then let me know real easy If you’re gonna leave, baby won’t you leave me softly RD RockNorthern^4 RT 1592 Electric Bass RT 1828 Acoustic Guitar RT 3922 Electric Guitar RT 3939 Electric Guitar RT 3305 Electric Guitar RT 4026 Solo Electric Guitar

This is one of the best rock ballads I have heard in a long time
I could feel your pain
Outstanding vocal, lyrics, lead guitar, and mix
This is top shelf all the way
Loved it
Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up.
Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

Nice song! Can't go wrong with that vocal. Good writing too. I might have upped the volume on the lead guitar some, but still, it's sounds good as it stands. Thanks for the chance to listen.

Really nice ballad and Deej sings it with a lot of emotion.
A very good well composed and produced song.

Mario, Brad, Andi and Peter:
Thanks folks for giving this one a spin. Christian does such a great job creating the music, and it's always a lot of fun trying to write the lyrics to it. A much different process for me, as I typically write the music and lyrics at the same time (for the most part at least). It's such a privilege to collaborate with someone as talented as Christian!
Brad: You may be right about the electric solo needing to come forward a bit--I'm curious to see what others think. Thanks for the constructive comment!
My best to you all,
Deej

Thank you all for your nice comments,  As suggested by Brad, I've increased a bit the volume level of the solo electric guitar.

..and he sure benefitted from you talent, too, Chris. Great collab. Man, Deej can sing. Excellent lyrics and band. I'd turn up the solo a bit more, but who needs my opinion? All of the guitars work well together. So good, guys.

Marty,
Thanks much for the listen and comment. I think Chris has subsequently turned up the solo, so hopefully it's in a better place. Appreciate the kind words and helpful feedback.
Stay well!
Deej

You guys could write and sing the phone book and it'd sound brilliant. And this is far from being "just the phone book". What a nuanced, dark, intelligent write. Well done to both of you! It's so different to write the lyrics to already written music, yes; but what a great end result, however you two did it. So much talent on this board. Bravi.

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!

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."
