#255406 - 07/04/14 06:32 PM [User Showcase] Out on the street
Registered: 05/02/14 Posts: 3180 Loc: The Netherlands RnAM Veteran Registered: 05/02/14 Posts: 3180 Loc: The Netherlands	Hello everyone, Our new song: Out on the street Many years ago, about 1994, Rob met this homeless man who told him his story. This led him to write this song . Originally composed on a Roland E-10 Keyboard. This is the new Band in a Box R & AM version (the original intro samples were kept intact). It took a while to get the right soloist for this song. Brent Mason (who else :-) ) turned out to be the best. The video might struck you as kind of gloomy, but we think it suits the song quite well. Any comments are welcome. lyrics: out on the street there's a ragged man I wanted to meet he said I'll find a way to make you see my way of life it worries me I myself I wander about and see the people I must do without you know I'd cry a tear or two considering the things they do and though I take good care no one seems to want me there there's a way to forget the wicked things that people said in a way I'm glad you see as I roam around in my fantasy and there's a lot of friends I meet though they remain in my reality the reason I go on you see is a need to find some harmony I can't live feeling all I do is what the people want me to and though I take good care no one seems to want me there there's a way to forget the wicked things that people said Used real tracks: Bass Pop Half Notes Ev 85 Accordion Rhythm Pop 8 Ths Ev 85 High Strung Acoustic Fingerprinting Pop 16 ths Mandolin Rhythm Pop 16 Sync Ev 85 Guitar Electric Rhythm Pop 16 Ths Gritty Ev 16 85 Viola Background Pop Ev 85 real drums: Praiseworshipslow 16ths Soloist: CountryBrent 85 regards, R & AM Edited by R & AM (07/04/14 06:33 PM) _________________________ We are Rob Meulman and Anne-Marie Bovenkamp from The Netherlands.

Wonderful song with the feel of a 60s folk/protest song, the sort of thing Leonard Cohen might have written. Lovely arrangement and production of both the track and the video. Vocals and harmony were excellent. I can't believe how you manage to do all this not in your native language. It's hard enough for us native English speakers. All credit to you.

Music works perfectly with all parts fitting together in a sweet and seamless fashion. I love the musical change that occurs as the chorus begins. I think we have another gem! Take care. Greg

Beautiful vocals and harmonies, as always. An excellent mix. And a beautiful song. The verses had a bit of a "Harry Chapin flavor" which was perfect for the storyline. A very enjoyable listen. floyd _________________________ 150+ Songs produced using BIAB RealTracks And 50 more... and some more...

Yes, writing lyrics was much easier in those days, I was a lot younger then. And now, with BIAB, so many songs, so many arrangements, so much possibilities. It's hard to keep track with decent lyrics.... Regards, Rob _________________________ We are Rob Meulman and Anne-Marie Bovenkamp from The Netherlands.

Upgrading to Band-in-a-Box® 2020 is Easy!

Did you know... anyone who has owned a previous version of Band-in-a-Box® is entitle to upgrade pricing - you do not need to have your old version installed!

Maybe you used to own the Windows version, but you now have a Mac... that's not a problem either!
(or if you owned the Mac version, and now you have a Windows computer)

In both cases, you would purchase from the "Upgrade from 2018 or earlier or crossgrade" row here for a new Mac version, or here if you want the newest Windows version. Just need to upgrade your 2019 version? Use the "Upgrade from 2019/2020" row.

When you purchase your upgrade from either of these rows, you will receive a complete installation - just follow the steps of the setup, and your Band-in-a-Box® will be ready to use!

PG Music Inc. shopping cart accounts were not required to purchase from our website prior to October 29, 2014. With that in mind, you may have to create an account in order to upgrade - that's OK! You'll still be entitled to upgrade pricing.
