Hey ya'll, Here's a new song I wrote. It's slated to be my "solo" on Robert Dean and my upcoming CD Twilight Folk. Hope you enjoy it. Comments welcome and appreciated.  RT's used: NashEv8 Drums Bass 521 Guitar 691 Guitar 697 Guitar 694 Aching For Always©2011 Josie Beck All rights reserved. Like comets streaking across the sky Two hearts collide and burn without a trace I thought the stars would write our names But all i see at night is empty space Oh I am not ashamed of crying And I am not afraid of trying Ohoh I still believe in love Real love Aching for always Thought I could see forever in your eyes But it was just a passing glance Another partner for a dance One more song we used to play Aching for always The dawn is burning off the fog That rolled inside and settled on these tears Can't build no wall to protect my heart When I can't figure out how you got here Oh I am not ashamed of dreaming And I am not afraid of feeling Ohoh I still believe in love Real love Ooo stuck out in the rough Ooo Baby it's still tough But I'm never Never never never Never never ever giving up on real love

Hi Josie, Wow! This song is fantastic; a great composition! I don't know where to start with the compliments it's so good The arrangement and production are superb. Your wonderful voice is perfectly placed in the mix and with just the right hint of reverb to make it sound intimately conversational to my ears. In addition, there's an emotional contour to your backing that shows a great deal of thought and planning; this contour supports and enhances your song incredibly well. These lyrics are extremely tight and resonate with emotional truth. The more I learn about lyric writing, the more I realize that what some songwriters called "emotional truth" is a hard-to-define quality that makes lyrics easy to relate to and easy to imagine; it is this quality that makes the situation, characters, feelings, etc., come across as 100% real and not simply a contrived story. (I'm still tying to work out how to master this elusive quality.) You've given me new heights to aim at now! Best wishes with the CD. You deserved every success. Regards, Noel

Hi Josie!
Great job on this one, as always. I have come to expect nothing but top shelf stuff from you. And this one does not disappoint! And I think since you and Bob have been collaborating, your writing has even gotten better.
I always look forward to your postings. Keep it up, my friend!
(Tommy - Ain't that the truth! When I was growing up, my parents were always telling me to turn that racket down. Now my daughters and grandkids are always telling me to turn down. What's up with that???)

Dan, I really appreciate that - thank you! BTW, I am so looking forward to your next one - hoping the wheels are turning even while you're busy and it won't be long - I don't mean to pressure or anything - I can't help saying it - I'm a fan.

Okay, you got me with that one. Consider my heartstrings well and truly tugged.
I'm also a sucker for a great title - Aching For Always - right on the button.
Which you every success with it.
Take care

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."
