Hi, Scott. This has got Rob's fingerprints all over it.. Along with your guitar playing  . The song has a very delicate feel, with the guitar arpeggios "floating" over the drums groove. It was a bit disconnected and dreamy - an interesting texture! Cool.

Robert and Scott, I thoroughly enjoyed my ride!
Excellent job on everything, mix, vocal, guitars.
I want my last spoken words to be "I hid a million dollars under the........................"

Ha! First time I've ever heard a chainring size in a song lyric. Well done! Seriously, a transportive song that captures the road beautifully. Great performances by both of you, and nicely produced.

We didn’t know that we shared the love of cycling with Robert, and you and he have captured the feeling of pure joy that we encounter while riding.
Video, lyric, performances and mix are all in the “wheelhouse” for this spin! 😊
Enjoyed it!

PS As Gary Klein said, “Biking is about rhythm and flow. It's the wind in you face and the challenge of hammering up along hill. It's the reward at the top and the thrill of a high-speed descent. Biking lets you come alive in both body and spirit. After awhile the bike disappears beneath you and you feel as if you're suspended in midair.”

Hey Y'all.
Love this!
It is very magical sounding, and radiates joy. I can tell it all comes straight from the heart, including the lovely guitar.
Great job!

"rotating radiance" --That's apt and excellent imagery.
You've maintained the SL mystical quality to your music
Flawlessly integrated guitar work, Scott!

Scott / Robert,
Wow, that's a beautiful song... The production is really superb. The combination of Scott's playing and Robert's vocals are hard to beat.
Love it - a new favorite from Spirit Level.

Hello, Scott & Robert. I enjoyed this song and video for the first time the other day. What a fun ride. Never ask why cuz the answer is the ineffable experience of the ride. Love the video, the lyrics, the vocals, the guitars, the band, the mix and the lasting feeling.

I can't put my finger on it why I like this song, but I like it. A lot. It's different, but in the best possible way. Well done, Scott & Co. ![[Linked Image - Only viewable when logged in]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/images/icons/default/thumbs_up.gif)

Hi Robert and Scott,
I heard the song some days ago on YT and I thought I replied there on it.
But I couldn't find it. So I wrote a few admiring words about the song again, but because of the sudden end I swiped back, but did not save those words: Gone!
So I wrote some nice words again and for this post I will repeat the gist here: Lovely song, good solo and a creative way of singing by Robert.
But those distances... exhausting...
Hans

Unexpected subject, but creative and handled in a nice poetic way, a human powered machine  Interesting melody and chord structure, that chorus part is a really beautiful ride. Pleasant arrangement with Scott's sparkling guitar and riding drums. And Robert's unique voice is the guiding star on the endless road. Janne

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."
