Hi All,

I re-did this song as I was informed (correctly) that it sounded too much like Run-a-Round Sue.

Hope it doesn't sound like it anymore but no doubt someone will let me know

It is called Memories

I used all sorts of RealTracks that I'm afraid I lost track (no Pun intended)

The lyrics are:
As my time has nearly run
And look back on those days of fun
Treasuring all those memories
Those happy days and your love for me

We'd walk along the beach at night
Holding hands and hugging tight
The stars the sea it was so right
Your smile was true and oh so bright

Memories
Memories
Memories of days gone bye

Remembering all those years ago
When life was sweet and oh so slow
How we'd laughed and splashed around
Now our feet are back on the ground

All those evergreen yester - years
We laughed and cried but had no fear
Memories of days gone past
We should have known they wouldn't last

Instrumental

Memories
Memories
Memories of days gone bye

Remembering all those years ago
When life was sweet and oh so slow
Memories of days gone past
We should have known they wouldn't last


Let me know what you think

Best regards
George

Hi Michee,

I thoroughly enjoyed listening to Memories. I must say, your musical skills are definitely getting better and better. I really liked the way you arranged this song with some vocals doubled/harmonized and some not. You chose all the right places to get the best effect.

I love the phrase "evergreen yester-years". How cool is that line! I'd love to have thought of it

All the best,
Noel

Hi Noel,

Thanks for your nice comments.

I tried to experiment with the vocals after I heard/seen Dan's vocal video.
The harmony TC Helicon in Band in a Box didn't quite work as I intended (my fault)
So I played around with doubling the vocal track and the volume envelope in Reaper.
The song isn't perfect and I still have a lot to learn, but it is fun to try new things.

Best regards
George

A BIG +1

This is just fantastic. Outstanding vocal with super lyrics, lyrics I can relate too I might add!

Two thumbs up!


Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up.

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."
