Hi All, Here's kind of a folky / beat poetry piece. This is called Shadow Lights. Running shadow lights Up and down the hall Running shadow lights On your apartment wall Casting shadow lights All across 110th Casting shadow lights Over Central Park West Leather jacket dreams When we were 24 Leather jacket dreams I think Schott is what you wore Rising shadow lights Around this new old town Rising shadow lights Above New Lebanon Running shadow lights Time’s a ticking bomb Facing shadow lights Tracing lines on your palm Running shadow lights Running shadow lights Running shadow lights BIAB Tracks: 0365: Guitar, Acoustic, Fingerpicking 2364: ElectroFlutes, Rhythm Pop 2505: Piano, Electric, HeldChords 2474: Bass, Acoustic, Held RealDrums: MalletsFolk16ths As always - thanks for listening! Bob

Hypnotic. A couple of notes, a couple of chords, et voila. Wish I had your talent to "get straight to the point", when I myself write a song. Incredibly beautiful. The lyrics are mesmerizing, too, evoking (as I perceive it) memories. It's a pleasure to hear your works.

At first I thought your song was a bit boring because there's not much variety, but on second listen it grew on me, it's kinda hypnotic and probably the first song since Strawberry where I like a Mellotron.
Very well done!

Bob, a perfect example of less is more!
Fantastic lyrics and vocal.
The mellotron sounds great - brilliant!
Super mix.
I think this is your best to date.

Hi, Bob. Love the build of the arrangement. As B.D. says, the repetition is almost hypnotic. Cool!

Bob, beautiful song! The arrangement has a sweet lullaby quality that is very easy on the ears. Your lyrics are always interesting and subtly literate, and these are no exception. The whole package has a Lou Reed, post-beat NYC feel to me. Absolutely love it.

There is a beautiful ensemble between the vocals, the guitar and the flute. It's a nice mélopée (in French).

Nicely done, Bob, I love the way the song builds as it progresses.
Reminds me of something Lou Reed might have done.
Enjoyed!

Bob, I always get the feeling of being in Manhattan in your songs. This time the upper west side. Back in the seventies I wandered those streets. My cousin lived at 102nd and Amsterdam while my sister lived nearby. Of course it was affordable then. The simple arrangement works well and the mellotron was quite the surprising element. After the first few seconds I found it worked perfectly. Poetry set in simplicity. Another good one, Tom

That is So Nice.
Intimate Vocal.
A Just-Right Production.

I think Schott is what you wore"
Poetic. And, yet still a Song. Not an easy thing to pull of.
Talent.

Bob,
Your music is always such a pleasure to listen to.
I like your voice in this lower register - you don't do that often. For me, it's a real treat when you do. If there's poetic majesty on this forum, it would be - hands down. Contrary to the thinking of so many people, poetic writing is not an easy transition to music. But you have the touch.
As typical, the lyric is "honest" and speaks to many.
Thanks for a soothing listen!

As a New Yorker ... I like imagery in the lyrics, I like the way it builds by adding instruments, without overpowering the lyric or vocals.

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."
