https://soundcloud.com/jeff-bonilla/willinglyFirst song I have written in a few years. I guess I needed to break up with my GF to get to that pain point again in order write something new. lol I finally decided to put it up on here since I could not have done it without BIAB. Honestly I don't recall the pop real tracks I used but my guess is most of the pros on here would recognize it. I added a little synth in the chorus and then my own guitar on the outro - albeit a little out of sync probably need to redo it. But it was more about catching the mood of the heartbreak. Thanks for Listening https://soundcloud.com/jeff-bonilla/willinglyWillingly Verse: You were right, I’m no good without you in my life. I close my eyes, see your face, tell myself that you’re still mine. But I know that’s just a lie Cause my heart still aches and cries for you And there’s nothing I can do… Chorus: Knowing that I let you go, willingly is killing me. How Could I have let you go, willingly, it’s killing me. Verse: Promises never kept, linger in my head. All the ways I let you down, and the words I should have said. Proof of heaven in front of me I was blind refuse to see the truth Till I was losing you… Chorus: Knowing that I let you go, willingly is killing me. How could I have let you go, willingly, it’s killing me. Bridge: Give me one more day, one more kiss, one more night of endless bliss with you. Baby give me one more chance. No more sun, no more rain, all my days fade to grey, without you… Instrumental break and then chorus out. Words/Music – Jeff Bonilla 2019 818-259-3299

Welcome to the forum.
A nicely done break up song with a melodic chorus. Well performed and written.

Hi Jeff,
that's a cool one. Like the melody, a lot the chorus is just great. Your vocals, the arrangement excellent. And the production sounds flawless to me. Great stuff.

Hi Jeff. Nice one. Very melodic and well sung. Reminds me a little of Elvis Costello. Regards, Leon

Well done, Jeff. It reminds me of the 60s Brit Rock, and I love it. Nice harmony and changes.

Really well done, I'm a sucker for a good heartbreak song. Thought the guitars were powerful and the vocals were distinct and memorable. Somewhat else mentioned a Costello comparison and I totally hear it too.
Nice work - thanks for sharing!
Cheers, Deryk

YES! 60's Brit invasion sound for sure. Well done!
If I heard this on the radio I'd be easily convinced it was a 60's hit.
Nice job.

Hey thanks for the listen. I'm glad I'm hearing folks on hear mention the 60's brit rock feel as I wasn't really sure what it was to be honest. Thanks

Yes, very 60s California sound and early 80s new wave pop. Love that chorus. Very lush sounding.

Really good song and arrangement. You've a fair chunk of proximity effect and sibilant stuff going on in the vocal track. Both can be managed in the mix but are better avoided in tracking. Probably bypassing the frequencies that ess in your reverb'd help too.

Smooth recording. Nice heartbreaker Pop song. Sounds like Everly Brothers, et. al. style song. Music is good. Not sure what's BIAB but it works well.

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."
