Lyrics:

Junior Prom

all the guys will wait
for the one with the laughter
every boy would show her the way

remember them, remember me
the ones not really there
all the guys would give her their name

but once the fear's away
things will change, things will change
love will sure get better in the end

all the boys that wait
dream of love, dream of glory
they watch the girls go by with a smile

imagining her faithful kiss
lasting all night long
gentle love could never be wrong

and once they'd find their way
things would change, things would change
life could not get better in their eyes

all the girls that crave
for the love ever after
afraid of giving in to the spell

they know the signs, they play the game
they never go too far
all the girls give in just the same

and once their caution's gone
life will change, life will change
feel a sense of magic in the air
but when dreams get in the way
things could change, things could change
promised love feels better in the end

Rob & Anne-Marie
Very professional production(good video)particularly liked the chorus change.
Really nice vocals.

Hello across the pond,

I am tickled to death you used one of the UserTracks in your music.
That shows off what folks can do with the UT's.

To best of my knowledge your music is first to use a UT.

Thanks for sharing the information and also you folks work.

The whole music arrangement, mix, vocals....Really enjoyed

Keep on having fun.

Hi R&AM. This certainly captures the feeling of the period.
Beautifully done as usual and the video is like movies I watched in younger years. Cheers.

Yes indeed.

What a terrific sound y'all! The lead and harmony vocal levels/mix are perfect, and your parts are oh-so-well-performed...as usual.

Take a bow:)

Very nicely done. Really captures that 80's sound - but nicely mixed with the RnAM signature sound.

A good lyric. Well sung, of course. Nicely arranged and produced - as always... Cool lead, Rob. Also cool that you used Frank's work...

Hi Rob and Anne-Marie

Enjoyable listen.

Guenter

You guys are the masters of that retro sound!! This has a great feel and the production is excellent. Even the vocal has an 80's vibe to it (great processing and delivery). Enjoyed the video a lot as well!! Take care. Greg

Outstanding music production, great performance; thanks for sharing!

You've certainly captured the 80's with this one.

Well done!



Thanks for the music,
Dan

Hello,

this is a very great song.
Beautiful the sinth part.
Great the melody and your voices as usual.

Hello.

Thanks Peter.

Hi Frank,

We really appreciate what you're doing and we hope to use more of your User Tracks in the future!

Rob and Anne-Marie

+1 I'll bet RichMac loved that buzz bass. Nice harmonized lead. You really have a handle on this style. Tom

Hi Rich,

Thank you! And we bet you liked those movies too...

Rob and Anne-Marie

Thank you!
Well, this one really took a lot of arranging and mixing (24 tracks!)
Rob and Anne-Marie

A meticulous production. EVERYTHING works so
well. 24 tracks! Sheeesh! That makes my hair
hurt. To take that number of tracks and make
everything sound so seamless very impressive.
The vocal processing is really standout....just
melts right into the mix and yet, counterintuitively,
it also perfectly stands out.

The video is like your others is eye candy for us
old movie fans.

And kudos on the user track and the fine write.
So much to like here.

J&B

Very 'classy' song and production. Enjoyed my listen.

Charlie

Thank you Floyd!
We appreciate all the work Frank puts in his Usertracks.
It's definitely becoming a huge collection.

Rob and Anne-Marie

Thanks Guenter!

FJ said exactly what I was going to say so.... +1

Thanks Greg,

Along with Lady Mysterious this was a second attempt to re-create that typical 80s sound.
Thanks to this wonderful program we've been able to go from French Chanson to Heavier Rock. The possibilities are sheer endless. And our next song (Anne-Marie has just finished the video) will have yet another sound: Rockabilly....
Thanks again for your continuous support!

Rob

thank you Robert!

thank you Dan!

Thank you Sergio!

we use the z3ta+ synthesizer from cakewalk in addition to the BIAB realtracks. This is a great synth for percussive sounds.

Rob & Anne-Marie

thanks Tom!

Thanks J&B!

Yes, quite a lot of tracks, our Cubase version almost crashed
Since some of the tracks have similar rhythms and feels, you cannot really hear the amount of tracks on this.
But, if some of them would have been left out, the sound would definitely have been a lot thinner.

Rob & Anne-Marie

Retro perfection! I especially like the stereo lead vocals, nice touch.

Everything that I wanted to say has already been said: great mix, super vocals, great lyrics, fantastic guitars, captured that 80's sound, etc.

You should be very proud of this one!

thank you Lawrence!

thank you Mario!
