Here's a song I wrote about my high school sweetheart but we used to fight a lot....so this song just popped out... [Link no longer valid]
I played the lead acoustic guitar and bass and sang lead and harmony. Everything else was Realband 2014
Goodbye My Friend By Horst Hartung 1972
Well It’s six three long years, we’ve been together It won’t be easy to say goodbye But all we do is yell and fight, I know you, it ain’t right I think it’s time for me to go
Before I go I’d like to tell you, I’m not mad at you And I’d like to say, I think I’m gonna miss you And although our love has gone, I’d still like to see you I don’t want to lose you as a friend, I don’t want to lose you
You know you make it hard, and I, I think you know Oooh, I’d like to stay, but it ain’t gonna work out And the soft spot in my heart, it’s telling me to stay I think you know as I, I have to go
So Goodbye my friend, I have to leave you, although I wanna stay And my broken heart cries, I sure don’t want to leave you And I’ll wipe that tear from my eye, It’s time to say goodbye I don’t want to lose you as a friend, I don’t want to lose you I don’t want to lose you as a friend
Lead:
Before I go I’d like to tell you, I’m not mad at you And I’d like to say, I think I’m gonna miss you And although our love has gone, I’d still like to see you I don’t want to lose you as a friend, I don’t want to lose you I don’t want to lose you as a friend
As I turn toward the door, close it behind me Ooooh I realize, what I have done And though the pain, it hurts me so, walking away slow Leaving behind me, a cold and empty soul
So Goodbye my friend, I have to leave you, although I wanna stay And my broken heart cries, I sure don’t want to leave you And I’ll wipe that tear from my eye, It’s time to say goodbye I don’t want to lose you as a friend, I don’t want to lose you I don’t want to lose you as a friend
Repeat:

Hello Horst. This is a really good song and follows pretty closely how the song would have been commercially produced in 1972 in my opinion. Excellent lyrics, guitar, bass and vocals. This is a favorite style of music to me and I've really enjoyed the post.
A lot of musicians still learn the licks, chord progressions and harmonies from songs from this era and I would not be surprised to see country turn back to this style in some fashion some day.
This is a strong song that holds its own just like it is and if I were to make any suggestions to make it sparkle a bit more in genre is to say even on acoustic based productions, the harmonies BG Vocals and steel guitar usually had greater presence in the overall mix. You make good use of these in your production, but maybe play with bringing a few more background ooh's/ahh's into the mix and making the pedal steel guitar more active by playing some riffs along with the held notes.
Good comparison songs for the genre are Poco's just for me and you or Pure Prairie Leagues, Amie.
Immensely enjoyed the song as is,
Charlie

Great vibe on this one!! A little Grateful Dead. Vocals are very cool-love the organic sound you get, and the interplay between the parts is very catchy and appealing. Another great tune!! Take care. Greg

Wow Horst,
Wrote that in 1972 - you sure nailed that vibe. What a great songwriter's ear you have for melody. This song is so authentic with the melody changes, vocals, harmonies that it could have come right off an album from that era. Makes me want to whoop out the acoustic and sing along.
What a treat.
Josie

HI Horst ...
Nice song! It reminded us of some Country Folk from the 60s and 70's, a la John Denver, The Kendalls, maybe even Peter Paul & Mary.
The harmony was great and your acoustic guitar pickin' was real nice!
Nicely done! Best to you ...

Nice job on that, Horst.
A good Pure-Prairie-League-vibe to it. (I thought the pedal steel could come up in your mix some in the choruses).
A good listen.

Horst, You nailed that California country rock sound. Brings back some fond memories. I agree that the steel should be brought up. Nicely written and very well sung. Tom

It's been said. Early 70's CA rock sound for sure and PPL certainly comes to mind. Excellent arrangement and write.
We enjoyed it.

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."
