And now, something completely different......... http://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=12354436That Which Might Have Been ©2013 Robert Randall Burke You asked if I could save you I said I'd surely try Turned out to be a mountain Too high to climb Your questions had no answers None that I could find Your lines, they had no meter The words, no rhyme. It's your own short story You've got to write the end You might call it “That Which Might Have Been”. The maples are all turning Soon the snow will fall And you won't hear my footsteps Coming down the hall A blank page lies before you You take your pen in hand And try to write an ending You can understand. It's your own short story You've got to write the end You might call it “That Which Might Have Been”. I hope you'll think about me Every now and then When you think about That which might have been. You asked if I could save you I said I'd surely try. Key=C , Tempo 85, Length (m:s)=3:57 No intro. 80 bar chorus, from bar 1 to bar 80. Repeat x1 chorus No Melody No Soloist track. Song is saved with Volume, Pan, Reverb, Chorus, Bank0, Style is _PNCALIS.STY (Calif.Slow Sol-Acomp.Piano(85RS)) RealTracks in style: 1006:Piano, Acoustic, Solo-Accompaniment, PopCaliforniaSlow Ev 085*******************

Bob, this is remarkably good.
I can think of no way in which this could be improved.
Apart from being such a good song, it shows just how versatile you are.
So it's not just Eddie who can write sad songs!
What next?
ROG.

Hi Robert,
a very thoughtful and lovely song.
I like the vocals and the arrangement.
Totally different from your Mars thing.
You wear many hats.

Bob,
Now, THAT is songwriting. Period. Top to Bottom. I would guess this only took one try.
It's your own short story
You've got to write the end
You might call it
“That Which Might Have Been”.
This may be one of THE best written choruses I've ever heard.
The overall feeling of the song is one I get from very few. The best of the best. "Walkaway Joe". "The Dance".
Who the @*#@*# are you?
........
Okay.... other stuff...
Your vocal is perfect. You are a cool singer.
The strings are perfect.
The piano... seems "thin". The playing is what it should be, but the RT is lacking a depth that they normally have. Did you do anything to it? What is that?

ROG and Guenter,
Thanks for the kind remarks.
Floyd,
I appreciate the nice words. You're right about the piano. I had to thin it out in the low mids to give the strings some room. I love that solo piano, but it is really heavy on the bottom end, and I wanted the string section to have some oomph.
Regards,
Bob

really nice. I have played around with the solo piano tracks but have not used them to create anything.... it's good to hear what they can do.

Hi Bob,
You've certainly set the bar high with this one. It's so-o-o-o-o good! Everything about it fits perfectly to create a very professional work in all aspects.
Regards,
Noel

Wow, Bob! The lyrics and melody are "meaty", something you can sink your heart into. I imagined Elton on keys. Nice choice of RTs.
Overall; good on ya, my friend.

Great chorus! And "You take your pen in hand..." gives almost a 19th century feel - or that's my image and I'm sticking with it. I've read many letters from that period where the writer would preface his/her comments with "I take my pen in hand." Superb in all aspects.

Thanks for the kind words Don.
Janice & Bud - Thanks. I'm a big fan of the 19th Century myself. I suppose the modern version would be: "I take my iPad in hand..."
Regards,
Bob

This is a big song, period.
It's your own short story
You've got to write the end
You might call it
“That Which Might Have Been”.
Says it all!

RealBand 2019 - A New Look!
Have you opened up your RealBand 2019 yet? You may notice that we've given it a fresh new look! In fact, there are now 3 different looks to RealBand.
See for yourself! Within the program, visit Options | Icon Set and choose from: Classic, Modern 1, or Modern 2.
Band-in-a-Box® 2019 for Windows - Choosing to Run 64-bit or 32-bit
We heard you! With the release of Band-in-a-Box® 2019 for Windows we've included the BRAND NEW 64-bit version of Band-in-a-Box®, which works well with the latest plugins and 64-bit OS features! Because not everyone has a 64-bit computer, we include both the 64-bit and 32-bit versions with your purchase - you choose which one to use!
By default, when you install your Band-in-a-Box® 2019 for Windows the 32-bit version will run.
The steps to run the 64-bit version are simple! Just head to your "bb" folder and choose the "bbw64" icon - you'll notice that the Band-in-a-Box® "splash screen" will state "64-bit" as the program opens.
(and if you open the 32-bit version, the "splash screen" will state "32-bit")
Still not certain which version you're running? Within the program, go to Help | About Band-in-a-Box - it'll either state:
Band-in-a-Box® for Windows
Version 2019 (604) <--- the number in brackets is the build number - this will change as new patch updates are released
64 bit application
or:
Band-in-a-Box® for Windows
Version 2019 (604) <--- the number in brackets is the build number - this will change as new patch updates are released
32 bit application
We hope everyone who can is enjoying their Band-in-a-Box® 2019 64-bit version for Windows!
NEW! Style-style-style Additions and Enhancements in Band-in-a-Box® 2019 for Windows!
With over 64 new features and enhancements in Band-in-a-Box® 2019, we've made sure to add to, enhance, and update some of the Style features within the program: StylePicker, StyleMaker, and Song Titles browser within the StylePicker!
StylePicker Enhancements:
-If the style list needs rebuild, it tells you that within the StylePicker, instead of a message that requires a response.
-The rebuild is faster than before by 75%. It takes 1/4 of the time now.
-While the style list is being rebuilt, you can see the progress inside the StylePicker.
-The style list can be filtered by a specific RealTracks/RealDrums/MIDI SuperTracks or RealTracks/MIDI SuperTracks in a certain number range.
-You can filter the style list by a specific Xtra Styles PAK.
-The dialog to select an Xtra Styles PAK has a button to take you to the PG Music website that shows information about Xtra Styles PAKs.
-The StylePicker can list all styles (including N/A styles) in the default display.
-The Set number display is improved, including sort by type and Xtra styles.
StyleMaker Improvements:
-The new MIDI velocity offset allows you to make styles with altered loudness for MIDI tracks.
-Styles can be saved with information like a memo, examples, genres, and more, which will be displayed in the StylePicker.
-You can import information from another style. This is useful when you are making a similar style.
-A style can have a huge number of RealTracks (up to 70!) because the StyleMaker now supports RealTracks multi/medley feature, which allows a single track to have up to 10 simultaneous playing of RealTracks.
Song Titles Browser Enhancement
-We’ve added 300 more song titles including requests from users, so there are now over 10,600 titles.
-The chord density filter is available, and it’s also displayed in the memo.
-The chord complexity filter is available.
