#282513 - 01/29/15 12:14 PM [User Showcase] Melancholy Blues
Registered: 01/28/12 Posts: 2471 Loc: Murgon Queensland Australia Rob4580 Veteran Registered: 01/28/12 Posts: 2471 Loc: Murgon Queensland Australia	Just another love song guys. Please let me know what your thoughts are. Written with BB, Rt mixed with reaper. Vocals myself. https://soundcloud.com/ironbarkbob/melancholy-blues Melancholy Blues I'm not complete with out you. I cant succeed you know its true. With this lonesome melancholy blue. Last night laid awake I saw a vision of your face. I'm so weary and not sure what to do. Chorus You got me thinking while I'm in this state. What else I'm gonna do. Though my feelings may seem misplaced. I cant seem to live without you. I need to find some peace of mind. Stand up tall and keep on trying. For my baby feels Ive done her some wrong. I count the hours since we've been apart. I cant control my aching heart. Though the minuets keep on rolling past. Chorus You got me thinking while I'm in this state. What else I'm gonna do. I'm not complete with out you. I cant succeed you know its true. With this lonesome melancholy blue. I'm so lonesome melancholy and blue. I'm so lonesome melancholy and blue. I'm so lonesome melancholy and blue. _________________________ https://soundcloud.com/ironbarkbob https://open.spotify.com/artist/6IPuZM4B48Drnd38DEWC7L https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoXdTc0EC_3aaZSqT4dyzug Using Studio One.

It reminds me somewhat of the Sons of the Pioneers... Nice job on the harmonies. I especially like the chord progression and the way the dobro plays against it. You won't find an instrument much more lonesome and melancholy than the dobro, so it was a good choice for the song.

Just a note: when typing the words, try grouping the lines. What I mean is, place all 5 lines in the verse together with no spaces. Stack all 4 in the chorus the same way. It makes it easier to grasp at a glance where one is in the song. Quote: Melancholy Blues I'm not complete with out you. I cant succeed you know its true. With this lonesome melancholy blue.

As an aside and this is meant only to help you - posters get more listens and comments when they post one or two songs at a time and let those run their course before posting another. It's easy to get excited and post five, ten or fifteen songs on the board in a week but that's not the best way to get those songs heard by the most people.

You're great fun to listen to. And yes, it's got that "Elvis" vibe. Thanks for posting! _________________________ -- David Cuny My virtual singer development blog Vocal control, you say.

It's that tight vibrato at the end of the phrase that's very signature. Vocal is very natural. I love the chord progression-simple but infectious. This is also my favorite of yours, although by next week you may top it! At this rate, you're going to have a greatest hits CD out by March first. Great job! Take care. Greg

I sort of naturally sing the way I do but not really trying to copy either, if that makes scene.

Notation Enhancements in Band-in-a-Box® 2019 for Windows!

There are Notation Enhancements in the NEW Band-in-a-Box® 2019 for Windows! These include:
•A new button in the Print Options dialog which lets you quickly print a "chords only" fake sheet. You can also access this from the right-click menu on the chord sheet.
•A new track type (Drums) is now available for The Melody and Soloist tracks.
•Clicking close to a stave line will put a note on the stave line instead of between stave lines. (Previously, you had to click extremely close to a stave line to insert a note on The line.)
•Double-clicking on the Standard mode Notation window (or on the time line in Editable or Staff Roll mode) plays the song from the current time location. Previously, it played the song from the beginning of the current bar.
•Holding down the [Ctrl] key and pressing the zoom in/out buttons results in finest possible incremental adjustment in size.
•In The Notation Windows Options dialog, The clefs split point asterisk indicates that C5* is middle C.
•Pressing The space bar plays the song from the current time location, not the current bar.
•The clefs split point can be set by the spin controls.
•The right-click menu in the Editable or Staff Roll mode Notation window has an option to change the current beat resolution. Previously, the only way to do this was to right-click on the time line.
•There's a keystroke entry notation mode - the 'N' mode, which lets you enter a melody entirely using keystrokes. The keystrokes are N to enter a note, up/down cursor to change its pitch, and left/right cursor to move the time line.
•You can now edit any track in the Event List Editor. When The dialog opens, it will show you the MIDI data in the current Notation track.
•You can quickly enter forced accidentals from the right-click menu.
