Registered: 08/10/12 Posts: 8442 Loc: Florida floyd jane Veteran Registered: 08/10/12 Posts: 8442 Loc: Florida	There are a number of stories I could tell about this song. But, in this case, I think I'll let the song speak for itself... Hope you enjoy it. ONE MORE STAR i know you'd call me crazy... sitting here with this gun watching the horizon for the setting of the sun i'm here because of you... it's killing me you're gone but i know just what i've got to do as soon as nightfall comes you see, years ago, out walking with my dad one moonless night i looked up in amazement when i saw this falling light and dad said "quick, make a wish...a shooting star will make it true" so, now, i'm sitting on this hilltop..i'm gonna bring one down for you i'll shoot at one more star take aim and pull off one more round do wishes go that far or just fall back to the ground now and then, one goes out, i swear so, i keep loading up the chamber and sending up this prayer please come back baby, wherever you are then i close my eyes and shot at one more star my broken heart keeps begging me to somehow bring you back it made me grab a box of shells and this rifle off the rack it still believes every time it hears somebody say shoot for the highest star...you'll reach your dream one day i'll shoot at one more star take aim and pull off one more round do wishes go that far or just fall back to the ground now and then, one goes out, i swear so, i keep loading up the chamber and sending up this prayer please come back baby, wherever you are then i close my eyes and shot at one more star please come back baby, wherever you are i close my eyes and shot at one more star the band...

I really like a well delivered romantic notion and you nailed it here. I wouldn't change a thing. Great work. Take care. Greg PS Thanks for your input on my blues tune. I think your absolutely right about the horns. I like horns and I guess I was trying to put a square peg in a round hole. Always appreciate your insights. Thanks again!

Nice vocal mix and I like the build of the tune with the drums coming in as it progresses and the steel guitar answering one of your vocal phrases early on and setting the tune on its way. _________________________ Patrick http://youtube.com/musingthemusic https://soundcloud.com/musingthemusic

Nice surprise that you're not fixin' on shooting anyone. Really catchy and memorable lyrics. Your use of BIAB here is exceptional, really top shelf. It all comes together like a well oiled machine.

Details on the production can be found in Greg's post. He forgot the wonderful Biabettes though. Guenter _________________________ http://www.21d.de/ Latest Song: What You Desire

Registered: 12/05/11 Posts: 9042 Loc: GA USA Janice & Bud Veteran Registered: 12/05/11 Posts: 9042 Loc: GA USA	We'd pick our favorite line and quote it here....but given that it would be the whole song it would be long and redundant to do that! This one is extraordinary even given the context of your "high bar." I'd love to visit the top of that bar for a few minutes and see what it's like :-) There's not a slack nano second in this song -- not in the lyric, not in the melody, not in the vocals, not in the RT choices and not in the mix or the mastering.

Registered: 05/22/11 Posts: 3129 Loc: Florida tommyad Veteran Registered: 05/22/11 Posts: 3129 Loc: Florida	floyd, Let me start with what I don't like about this song. Nothing. From back to front -super ending. I still have trouble with that. Loved the oohs. Ooh yeah! Nice editing on the steel and Brent Mason. The vocal and the write are top notch as always. That acoustic sounds killer. What kind of a guitar and are you using the AT mic? The mix is great. Only someone who has devoted the better part of his life doing this could come up with the little tricks in the beginning to grab ahold of the listener. The extra beat on the hold before the singing and the way the bass enters along with the kick are nuances that come with experience. Always a pleasure to see what the mind of floyd jane comes up with next. I'm convinced this is the best place to find fresh and interesting music. Much better than the radio. Tom

Uncommon RealTracks Instruments for Band-in-a-Box®

Today is Uncommon Instrument Awareness Day.

Examples of "uncommon instruments" include anything from Spoons to the Wheelharp to the Singing Ringing Tree, and more!
(there's probably more instruments out there that we DON'T know than we DO know)

Although our RealTracks collection doesn't include many 'uncommon instruments', we do offer some pretty unique choices!

On top of the usual varieties we offer for Piano, Guitar, Saxophone, Flute, Clarinet, Bass, Tuba, Trumpet, Trombone, and more - our RealTracks library also offers a nice selection of Shakuhachi and Kalimba - there's even a Koto RealTrack included in Set 212!

Kalimba: RealTracks Set 271
Koto: RealTracks Set 212
Shakuhachi: RealTracks Sets 193 & 212

What's the most surprising RealTrack Instrument that you've come across?

Band-in-a-Box® 2019 Mac Update Ready!

Just because Band-in-a-Box® 2020 for Mac is here doesn't mean we've forgotten our 2019 users!

Review - Loops-with-Style PAK 2 for Band-in-a-Box® 2020

"Dr. Dave" Walker is at it again! You may remember his recent reviews of both Band-in-a-Box 2020 for Mac and Xtra Styles PAK 9 - now he has something to say about our Loops-with-Style PAK 2 - check it out: Click here to read...

With money being tight for most musicians, this is a wonderful gift for those on a limited budget. At $29, it offers months and years of fun and experimentation, bringing many ideas to fruition as songs with enough variation so that your audience doesn’t jump to "aw, that's a computer!" while still keeping the power of the software in your hands.
-"Dr. Dave" Walker

Thank you again Dr. Dave for the great review!
