Hi all, Here's a new collab with David Lekich (Deej56). He has written the lyrics and he sings (so well !) https://soundcloud.com/christian-devienne/betty-blueYou oughta know I’m not so innocent I’m just the same as you, but different Just looking for a true connection And ready for a change I’ll hit the ground and I’ll keep on running To the sound of your distant drumming Turn around and I’ll be coming For a bright and better you My Betty Blue All along the dark and broken roads I’ve felt a little lost and so alone Now I’m sensing there’s a new direction I’m ready for a change I’ll hit the ground and I’ll keep on running To the sound of your distant drumming Turn around and I’ll be coming For a bright and better you My Betty Blue I may be crossing lines I may be wasting both our time But baby love is hard to find And worth a risk or two RD AmericanaSlowRockFred RD TambourineEv16 RD BluesRockFunky16ths^3 RT 711 Acoustic Bass RT 1680 Acoustic Guitar RT 2825 Piano RT 3202 Solo Acoustic Guitar RT 3349 Solo Electric Guitar RT 3346 Electric Guitar

Christian / David,
This is outrageously good… An outstanding collaboration. Nothing more to say.

Hi, Chris (and David).
I’m just the same as you, but different
Neat line, and clever rhyme with innocent
Cool harmony on the last verse.
There's some odd warbling on the final chorus - perhaps there's some synthetic doubled vocal or something?
Very cool.

I really like this. Excellent vocals. David has a classic 60s era delivery. I can't put my finger on it but he reminds me of that era. The mix is so good. Great production. Bravo to both of you.

Stunning, stunning writing. Dark and beautiful. And David does it total justice, here. One of the better songs I've heard on here in a while, both from the writing and the performance perspectives. My sincerest congratulations.

Great collab with two of my favorite music makers here on the forum. There was a French film in the 1980s called Betty Blue. (I really liked it, that's how I remember that far back)
Anyway, the whole thing was great. Instrumentation, arrangement, lyrics and vocals. Congrats to you both.

Quite a write.
Of course Deej's vocals always shine!
I like the sound of the acoustic bass.
Well done!

Hi guys,
what a brilliant collab. Yes, I hear some 60s feel in it, too. Very good lyrics, very well sung and with an excellent sound. Loved the listen!
Take care,
Stefan

Hello Christian and David,
I think the others said everything in their posts what I wanted to say.
You are a good team making this so nice song. Thumbs up!
Of course I like that voice from David. If you listen to that, your heart breaks (whatever he is singing). Great!!
I hope you make some more songs now,
Hans

Excellent collab, Chris & Deej. Deej I am a huge fan of your lyrics and vocals. Such passion and love those harmonies, man. Such excellent changes in this song. Those guitars --in fact, the whole band is superb. Man, this is such a good song. Great dynamics and feel. I'm on my 3rd listen now, and I'll be back for more. So very good guys.

Sounds like a collab match made in heaven to me.
Really enjoyed the song and the cool British rock nuances.

Thank you all for your kind comments.
To collaborate with David is very stimulating and I'm always looking for good musical arrangements for his incredible voice.

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."
