First off, I'm very sorry for your loss! I can only hope you find some comfort and healing through using your musical gift! You did an exceptionally good job creating this lovely song! There is a genuine sense of authenticity and emotion in the vocal! God bless!

Take care, TB

Thank you for your kind and comforting words, Brad.
I really appreciate it!

This is excellent . . . in all aspects from the write and the production.

So, the vocal is what takes this over the top for me . . . I know you typically use vocaloids, but that’s not what this is, is it? (There are breaths and pauses that I don’t associate with vocaloids). But regardless, a terrific vocal that makes this shine.

Good stuff

Deej
Thank you very much, Deej.
I also think it's amazing how deep emotions can bring out intense songs and intense songs can bring out deep emotions.
We have the best hobby of all.

Strong and emotionell. Thanks for sharing. When my mom died a few years ago I took the guitar and sat alone playing and crying. Playing guitar have been very good therapy for me the last years.

We hope that the memory of your Mama’s smile gives your comfort and that time helps to ease your heartache.

It is a fine production in all aspects.

Thank you Janice, thank you Bud.
I'm glad she always smiles when I dream about her when I sleep.
Good memories are a great thing to have.

Wonderful and passionate tribute. Very well composed and produced.

Thank you for sharing.
Misha.

P.S. Music is a good healer too, so don't stop.
Thank you for your kind and comforting words, Misha.
You're absolutely right, music is a great healer when you're sad.
This song was very important to me, but to be honest, I was really scared to start it.

Thank you, Sören.
Crying is good. When I get to the point where I have to cry, I feel much better.
Incredibly sad, but better.

Losing my parents was the most painful thing in my life. Since my wife is younger and my kids are healthy, I'm hopeful (and praying) that I will never feel worse pain than that for the rest of my life. The pain never goes away but it does get better and fond memories eventually can make you smile and laugh. So sorry for your loss. VERY nice tribute. Take care. Greg

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."
