Without Ya Babe
© Emmrich 2014

(verse)
so folks ask me how you've been
I just don't know where to begin
it's been hard without ya babe
it's been hard without ya babe

(verse)
I think it's raining all the time
weatherman tells me it's sunshine
every day this week
well it seems mighty bleak

(bridge)
and the edges seem frayed
and I don't act sane
without ya babe

(instrumental break)

(verse)
many times I've been this way
but you were here to save the day
I’ve been lost without ya babe
I’ve been lost without ya babe

(bridge)
and the edges seem frayed
and I don't act sane
without ya babe

Kevin: acoustic guitar, vocals, slide
BIAB: bass, drums, piano, acoustic guitar

Loved that slide..... very cool.

Hi Kevin...

Liked this one a lot!!!!

Yes, sometimes it works mixing the EVs and the SWs. Works great here.

Love the easy, casual feel to this one. I enjoy the song where the title is used in the verses and rather than a chorus, use a bridge instead. I have 2 or 3 like that. it's not that easy to do but the change is real nice when it's done correctly...like this.

And I agree with the others...J.J. Cale written all over it. Wouldn't that be nice!

Have fun at FAWN this year. I know how much you enjoy it. Will be waiting to hear more from you.

Best to you, my friend...

Kevin,

Really like this one! Simple and solid. Both the write and the production. You got that simple (Lumineers-like) production workin'.
The slide is cool (Sounds like a slide part that Neil Young would have played). And the last bridge has a real Stones feel to it. You've covered all the bases...

And topped it off with your own, very unique vocal style.

Nice.

Yeah man, don't trust those weathermen when it comes to affairs of the heart! I gotta get on the ditto band wagon and completely agree with the Americana genre feel and the JJ groove. We really enjoyed this one.

Solid tune Kevin.

You also did one heck of a job arranging the real tracks man.

I appreciate all the listens and the kind comments. I'll try and do some listening -- but it's tough with all the FAWM stuff going on (and family, work, sleeping, eating,...). Sundance suggested I change seems frayed to feel frayed. Done! I'll update the demo later this month.

I like all the JJ, stones, lumineers and Graham Parsons references (maybe the Graham one was over at FAWM)

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

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."
