Title: It Hurts
(Verse 1)
One kitchen chair is empty now
The one you used to sit on
You always showed up with a smile
Like the first sunray after a long rainy day
Oh no, you are gone
Gone
Gone
(Bridge)
The clock down the stair
Is still ticking away the time
But for whom, if you're not there
You're not there
(Chorus 1)
It hurts
It hurts
It hurts to be left behind
It hurts
Oh, it hurts
It hurts to be the one
Who has to carry on
(Verse 2)
No one does prepare you for a moment like this
From a life full of joy, a life of bliss
It's over now
I can't go on
I don't know why
I should go on
(Pre)
Life is over without you
Without you
(Chorus 2)
It hurts
It hurts
It hurts to be left behind
It hurts
Oh, it hurts
It hurts to be the one
Who has to carry on
(Outro)
Oh, it hurts
It hurts
It hurts
Oh, I'm so angry and lost
It hurts

Beautiful song, B.D.
My mom just passed away a few weeks ago too, December 1st. Different deal though, in her case it was a long, slow decline so we knew it was coming.
Thanks for the song, and all the best to you and your dad.

Brian,
So sorry for your loss. My hearts goes out to you.
This so is beautiful. Is that you on vocals? It sounds really good. (If it is a synth it sounds incredibly real.)
I wish you comfort and healing in the days ahead, my friend.

Di and I wish you and your family strength and peace as the days come and go.
The vocal so vividly reveals the pain. You have captured the dark pit such a loss puts you in. A well-done song about a a very sad event.

Hello Brian
I am very sorry that you and your family are so sad now.
But as a musician you did the right thing. You wrote a song about it.
That's exactly what helped me to find my way out of the endless sadness.
And you know what? This must not have been the last song about your mother.
I hope that your sadness will soon give way to the joy of having had such a great mother.
She would definitely be very proud of you and wouldn't want you to be sad.
One sentence about your song:
You have really written an extremely emotional song that gives an idea of how you are feeling at the moment.
But where things end, something new begins and when I heard how fantastically you sang this song,
I really wonder why you have your songs sung by AI voices!!!
My brother Wolfgang and I wish you and your family a lot of strength
and all the best to get through these difficult times
Many greetings
Andi ;-)

Thanks for the song, and all the best to you and your dad. Thank you for your nice words, Dave. My condolences for your loss. As I wrote in the lyrics, no one can really prepare you for something like this, no matter how it happens.

What a great song to express how you feel now. Sorry for your loss, I can feel your pain in my heart. Those words are truly powerful and describe the loss so personally. Very emotional vocal performance.
All your songs are creative and speak to me, but this one speaks especially more.

Such an emotionally true song, I can feel the hurt.
My condolences and wishes for healing, acceptance and strength as time carries on.
https://soundcloud.com/user-646279677BiaB 2024 Windows For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.

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."
