Great mix.

FWIW - I didn't care for the synth vocal, but that is only my opinion and others may not agree.
However it didn't really detract to much from this song.

Thank you Mario for your kind comments.
The problem is that the synthesizers sing in tune and I don't!

Hey Laurent, a very enjoyable listen.
I hear Michael McDonald in the vocals. But the funny thing is that I don't like McDonald's voice that much but I like this!
I also get a smooth jazz vibe here.

Also, GREAT work on the guitar.

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.

Thanks Bass Thumper. I hadn't thought of Michael McDonald's voice. I know him a little from What a Fool Believes with the Doobie Brothers. I lowered Hayden's formants a little to make his voice a little deeper. I'm glad you don't like it anymore though. We therefore arrive at the following equation: hayden - 3formant= Michael McDonald.

Even though it's not my favorite genre, I enjoyed listening to it because you supported the message of the song very well with your arrangement and vocals and everything else.
It is consistent in itself (hope this phrase makes sense in English).
Well done.

Thank you B.D.Thomas for the comments. I designed the lyrics based on what the music evoked in me.

Hello Laurent,

What else can I say than everyone else wrote before me?
A very beautiful song, very sensitive lyrics, good rhythm, excellent solo and good singing.
But I had a wish about how the phrase "nothing remains" is sung and I would like it to be sung ;-)
The vocals go down every time on 'remain', where I would like them to go up and bring in a little more emotion there.
But I know, it's a matter of taste...

I enjoyed it much,
Hans

Thanks Hans for the comments. To be honest, I haven't thought about this detail. I thought of it as if without thinking about another option.

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!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

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."
