This is a song I actually wrote about 3 years ago, but I finally got around to re-doing it. Mostly Realtracks, with some orchestration I did using Garritan Personal Orchestra. I programmed the drums with EZ Drummer. All the vocals are me (once again, cheap labor). I hope you enjoy it! Big Fish Here are the lyrics... Big FishLyrics & Music by Stephen W. YoungA young man has his passion Full of life and youthful dreams Of winning wars and driving fast cars Super hero kinds of things But the wars have become a job in a factory And the fast car is now a dark blue SUV And he lives three doors down from the old town square Two doors up from the girl that's always cut his hair He's the king of the hill in this small town, in his mind But he's beginning to feel like a little fish In a pond that's getting bigger all the time One day he met Sally Ann Took her out for a country drive They laughed and talked of simple things How it's great to be alive And with a smile, she stole his heart. It really was not fair Now he has a wife. He lives his life to share And they live three doors down from the old town square Two doors up from the girl that's always cut his hair He's the king of the hill in this small town, in his mind But he's beginning to feel like a little fish In a pond that's getting bigger all the time Sally gave birth this morning Now a new life has begun He couldn't believe his ears when heard the doctor said You have a son And with misty eyes he looks in his little boy's face And in an instant he understands Amazing Grace And they live three doors down from the old town square Two doors up from the girl that's always cut his hair He's the king of the hill in this small town, in his mind But in Sally's eyes he's still a big fish In a pond that's getting bigger all the time In his little boy's eyes he's a big fish In a pond that's getting bigger all the time It's time we realize we're all big fish In a pond that's getting bigger all the time ==== And here are the Realtracks used... RealTracks in song: 1253:Bass, Electric, PopShiningHeld Ev 120 RealTracks in song: 1533:Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm PopPowerPushArp Ev 120 RealTracks in song: 1677:Guitar, Acoustic, Fingerpicking CountryBrent Ev 120 RealTracks in song: 522:Guitar, Acoustic, Fingerpicking Ev 120 RealTracks in song: 869:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm ModernRnBRockWarmA-B Ev 065 RealTracks in song: 1877:Fiddle, Soloist CountryRob Ev 120 ******************* Have a great day!

Hi Steve,
When I see that you've posted a new song, I always smile and race on over to have a listen. Your work always inspires me.
"Big Fish" was a delight to listen to. I have to hand it to you, you have a really well-honed sense of arrangement. This one is incredibly well done. Come to think of it, all your songs are incredibly well done and this one gleams just as bright as every other one I've heard.
I can guarantee that I'll be popping back to listen to this song a few more times!
All the best, Noel

Steve.
This is absolutely superb.
It's a great song and the lyrics brought a tear to my eyes. Beautifully sung and a spot-on mix.
Perhaps the best thing for me was the arrangement - full of texture and variety throughout and just so professional.
Thanks for posting this one.
ROG.

It’s all been said. All I can add is this is another professionally polished song from Steve.
This is a keeper.

With Band-in-a-Box® 2020 for Windows, there are 50+ new features, 202 RealTracks, and more!
We get ideas for the new features and new RealTracks from program users- there are several sources: our Wishlist and general forum, support phone calls, trade shows, etc. In most cases, customers are not describing a new feature – they are describing a problem they have that they would like to have solved.
This is a list of our features and additions in Band-in-a-Box® 2020, presented from a unique perspective. It is from this customer list of "problems they would like solved." These are not exact quotes, they are paraphrased from our discussions with our customers. They explain what problems and requests they discussed with us, that resulted in the various new features and RealTracks. Hopefully this answers the question "why did you add this feature/content?"
So, without further ado, here are the 49 requests/problems that we (hopefully) have solved with the release of Band-in-a-Box® 2020: click here to review.
