I'm not a prolific songwriter, rarely do I set out to write a song. As in, 'Today, I'm going to write a song.' But, I did that very thing one day a few years back and ended up with this one. I hope you enjoy it. Thanks for listening. http://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=12662719SONG SOMEWHERE By Scott H.

Scott, Yeah Man! I really like this. Going back for another listen. Great lyrics and and great vocals. My only nit is the bass seemed light. I also really like the melody. Keep em coming. Tom

Hey Scott...
Yes sir...we're liking this a bunch. Di and I have thought this a bunch of times...where in the heck is that song we need?????
That mandolin and banjo are perfect! And when the acoustic guitar came in there for a couple bars...that was sweet, too!
I echo the thought that the bass line could come up a bit. It's so danged hard to get the volume and tone right on the acoustic bass...at least it is for me. But i think you'd be safe to bring it up a bit.
Great song, Scott! And your vocal shines! Thanks for the listening pleasure!
Al & Di

Ain't that the truth....?
great song.
One thing I would look at is to perhaps look at reducing the time between some of the lines... it's a small thing.... I kept having the feeling throughout the song that the next line is coming in right...here.... nope.. ok there it is....
still loved it.

Yes - we've all got a song somewhere. Trouble is, I can't remember where I put it!  Love the sense of exasperation that the song has. Amusing and heartfelt. cheers ian

Very nice, I like this a lot. Anyone who has tried to write a song can relate to these lyrics. Super job on that, your mix and your vocal.

Clever and easy to relate to lyrics wrapped up with good vocals and a fine supporting mix. Thanks for the chance to listen!! BTW, at least you sit down to write. What few I get often come to me while mountain biking!

Thank you so much everyone for listening, for your kind words and for your suggestions.
I'm fairly partial to this one, and I was hoping it would appeal to the songwriter in you too.
I still can't get over how awesome it is to be able to take one of these songs and arrange it with these Real Tracks - simply amazing.
And it's so helpful to be able to listen to your mixes, to hear what's possible - sure makes a world of difference for me.
Take care everyone and thanks again.
Scott

I really like this concept. Very interesting idea. I sometimes feel that songs float around, like invisible fish, waiting to be snagged. Sometimes they come easy, sometimes they fight, and sometimes they nibble and tease for months or years. This is a really nice, thoughtful piece of work. Keep it up!! Greg

Hi Scott,
*clap clap clap*
That was really enjoyable. I really like the concept of telling stories with guitar stings.
Clever writing.
All the best,
Noel

Greg: Thank you for that. I hear 'ya. I often have a line, or a chorus, no verses, maybe one verse. If I 'work' at them I can usually make progress, but I don't always like working on them....
Hey Noel: Thank you for the applause! I like that line myself:)

Band-in-a-Box® 2019 on a USB 3.0 Hard Drive - Speed Thrills!
We're excited to say that all Band-in-a-Box® 2019 for Windows UltraPAK and UltraPAK+ orders now ship on a USB 3.0 hard drive!
What does this mean? Faster hard drive transfer rates will enhance the program operations (faster time to generate tracks, reduced audio artifacts) and offer faster transfer speeds (typically up to 3x faster)!
It's a great time to order your UltraPAK or UltraPAK+ Upgrade... they're ON SALE until December 31st!
Band-in-a-Box® UltraPAK $469
Upgrade from Version 2018: [color:#FF0000]$149[/color] (reg: $279)
Upgrade from Version 2017 or earlier or crossgrade: [color:#FF0000]$169[/color] (reg: $299)
Band-in-a-Box® UltraPAK+ $569
Upgrade from Version 2018: [color:#FF0000]$179[/color] (reg: $379)
Upgrade from Version 2017 or earlier or crossgrade: [color:#FF0000]$199[/color] (reg: $399)
Note: The difference between the UltraPAK and the UltraPAK+ is that the MIDI Songs & Lessons PAK is included in the UltraPAK+ package.
Video: Band-in-a-Box® 2019 for Windows® New Features!
Our "Band-in-a-Box® 2019 for Windows®! New Features, RealTracks, and other content!" video is now ready! Get to know all about the newest features in Band-in-a-Box® 2019: Click here to watch...
We have listed a table of contents for this video, you'll see it within the YouTube video description, or by visiting this forum post.
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.
