Hi, friends ! I have been away for a couple of days and when I return the archive of songlinks has grown exponentially (lol) !:)) ....and now I am about to add to that.....(another lol) !! This tune is a jazztune born out of the cold winter weather over here. It just got me in a winter state of mind !:)) http://app.box.com/s/2klg02b02i6u4ymi4yvrI am indebted to Dean Clark who graciously plays the intermediate guitarsolo (thanks Dean) ! Style: SJAZZBL STY Smooth Jazz Ballad (65 RS) Instruments in style: 908 Electric Bass 910 Electric Piano Drums: Realdrums Smooth Jazz Ballad Sn Ride Soloist: 5 Electric Piano And here are the lyrics: WINTER STATE OF MIND (by Dani) Bluer than blue, I sit alone here without you looking out of my window, still snow keeps piling up out on the sill thinking of you, my love and how you fare up on the clouds above thinking thoughts of another kind I´m in a winter state of ……… I´m in a winter state of mind I´m in a winter state of mind Outside it is cold, far below zero c I´m told I will stay inside my room and hide all in vain from all the pain No cure in sight, but let us hope it goes allright thinking thoughts of another kind I´m in a winter state of ……… I´m in a winter state of mind I´m in a winter state of mind solo Bluer than blue, I sit alone here without you looking out of my window, still snow keeps piling up out on the sill thinking of you, my love and how you fare up on the clouds above thinking thoughts of another kind I´m in a winter state of ……… I´m in a winter state of mind I´m in a winter state of mind Cheers Dani

Dani, good song. I think this is one of your best. Great mix and I love the vocal. When you hit those low notes I feel it all the way down to my toes!

Hi Dani,
very interesting chord progression and very well sung. I can't help: for me the guitar solo is totally out of tune. On purpose?

Thank you Trevor for your most kind words ! You are right, writing, or rather playing around with chords trying to construct something rational has really helped me back on track again !:))
Cheers Dani

Hi Dani...
This is a great tune! So soft and mellow. It reminds me of something Mel Torme might have written and recorded. All the instruments are so mellow and laid back. And your voice is perfect for this ... exceptionally good! We're still smiling a while after we listened. Very, very nice! Thanks for a super nice listen.

We forgot to acknowledge Dean. We're so sorry for that. Both of you deserve the accolades. Dean, we appreciate the hard work and talent you put into this, too! This is a great song!

Guenter you rascal !!!
You just had to notice my electric 12-string out of tune. Well, there's a perfectly sound explanation for that:
.....''''''''.....'.................................It IS out of tune!!
because the strings (2 x 0.08 to 2 X ?) are shot and the last time I tried to re-string it myself I wound up cutting my fingers to ribbons with the ends of the strings.
Maybe I can talk Dani into reposting after I freshen the thing up?
However, thanks for the instructive comment - the Forum can always use more of these, because in the end they lead to improvement.
Dean

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."
Happy Easter! Holiday Hours...
2024 is well underway - it's already Easter Weekend!
Our Customer Service hours this weekend are:
Friday, March 29: 8-4
Saturday, March 30: 8-4
