Once again, I have been out of pocket for the past month. I finally had time this afternoon to put some work into writing a song that has been rolling around in my head for the past week or so. (Thanks to Band In A Box, I can put together these little songs on a very limited time schedule!) In addition to the RealTracks/RealDrums, I played some orchestration using Garriton, and some sofware instruments in Logic Pro X. I hope you like it! I Found You There Here are the RT/RD's...

I Found You ThereCopyright Stephen W. YoungWhen moonlit shadows dance across the ground And morning frost is in the air A new day comes to me without a sound I know that I will find You there When troubles come to take my dreams away And questions fill my mind with fear I see the beauty of another day And I know that I have found You there I see You in the clouds of morning And in the sunshine of the day The pouring rain The gentle breeze They all sing Your song of praise I've seen the beauty of another day And I know that I have found You there I know that I have found You there

Hi Steve, This is so very, very beautiful. On a writing level, the melody and its arrangement are superb and your performance rings with honesty and sincerity. It sits perfectly. To add to this, the lyrics are wonderfully concise and alive with vivid imagery. Songwriting doesn't get better than this. On a production level... wow! You always manage to take my breath away with your ability to orchestrate and to mix songs. It's great to have you back posting. I learn so much from listening to what you do! Even if it's only once a month, that's much better than once a year. All the best for 2015 A friend below the equator, Noel

Defiantly Celtic. I did like this tune.
Very soft and mellow. Would loved to have heard some harmonies.
Well written good work. Rob

Hi Steve,
All of your songs set a high bar and I'm always excited to see you post.
This is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard. Words fail me.
God bless you.

Steve,
Always great to see you back...
A beautiful song. An elegant write.
Your typically beautiful vocals and orchestration. Your strings are always so tastefully done and perfect for the song.
Studio quality everything. A joy to listen to.

Hi Steve,
What a fantastic song, great vocals and lyrics!
A beautiful mix too and I loved the way it builds throughout the song. That minor chord at 3:22 is a great way to lead in to the ending. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Steve! Glad to hear something from you again! Everything you've ever posted has been superb, and this song is too! I'll start by agreeing with Floyd, who said: Steve,
Always great to see you back...
A beautiful song. An elegant write.
Your typically beautiful vocals and orchestration. Your strings are always so tastefully done and perfect for the song.
Studio quality everything. A joy to listen to.
floyd The Garritan strings in this add a lot of richness and tonal variability to the song... I've been trying to squeak by with regular ol' GM strings, but there is no comparison... next to your songwriting (which is the star of the show) the strings are clearly the co-star from my point of view. One of the things that I always notice about your songs is that in spite of the layers of instruments you may include in a song, everythings comes in and out of the mix seamlessly. Finding the right spot in the mix for each track is an art you seem to fully understand. And of course, I like the fact that your songs are usually about faith and family. Are you familiar with Fernando Ortega? This song reminded me of some of his music. You should talk to Garritan about getting an endorsement deal.. because I'm gonna go buy what I just heard... You may be their best salesman.

Beautiful song!! Love the sparse, airy arrangement and the way it evolves. Strings work perfectly. I wouldn't change a thing. Great work! Take care. Greg

Steve, You continue to astound with your high level of writing, musicianship and production skills. The vocals have so much presence and clarity it is almost startling (in a good way). The strings are brilliantly composed and played. This is a write, performance and mix of the highest quality. Tom

Great job. Was this a Christian song? It wasn't clear who the subject of the song was.
The only nit I have is on the bass. It tended to boom a few times but that could have simply been the sub on this computer system.
You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

"When troubles come to take my dreams away And questions fill my mind with fear I see the beauty of another day And I know that I have found You there"
Amen. Try to put aside yesterday and tomorrow and find it today.
I hear a great write and vocal presented with an incredibly effective soundstage. Everything sits in it's respective place so well. Really Nice.
Thanks for the chance to hear this.

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."
