Nice work all around!

My only thought is that the chorus is crying out for something to give it more weight - perhaps doubling the vocal, or adding harmony?

Anyway, good job as usual.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

I love this Robert! My new fav or yours!

I'd like to have maybe a little hotter bass and kickin' harmony on the chorus but it sounds good to me as is and it's a great song.


Well done!

I love that drum part during the verses -- real simple and effective. It is a really good mixing of instruments on this one. Yea, maybe need to kick up the chorus a little more, but it is a super great start.

I think this is your best to date.

I do agree about the chorus harmonization. You may want to give it a try.


Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up.
Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

That's an impressive list of songs, Robert,
and your new one is a very strong one. A great mix.

I agree with the others about the need for harmony.
The line "I have been redeemed" - would be even more
powerful harmonized - maybe a woman's voice.
The percussion choice and use was great too.

Well done. Ian

Nice work as per usual Robert, the song builds nicely.
When the vocals crank up it was so Neil Young-y!
Yes, some 3rds vox harmonies would be great on the chorus.
Maybe pan the acoustic rhythm guitar more to the left and the electric more to the right?

Your songwriting goes from strength to strength.

Robert,

Great song! I agree that this is one of your best. And of course, a great message! I also agree about adding harmonies, etc. But again, one of your best!

Keep it up!

Hi Robert, nicely put together. As other's have said, the adding of some harmony would really round out the song. I don't know if you can sing harmony(I can't) but in BIAB is a very good vocal processor which produces some amazing results if you work at it. The harmonies on my latest upload were done that way. It is very easy to use. Try it, this program is full of surprises. Nice job on this one. Keep at it.

Cheers

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."
