MISSING YOU Howdy all, here's our first J&B new song post in over a month...but we sure have been having fun with collabs! Recently Lawrence (Gruverider) kindly let us interpret one of his songs. The version he sent us was so pretty that it was a bit intimidating to tackle an arrangement but we decided to give it our best effort. After putting together and auditioning five completely different BiaB bands this is where we landed. We trust we did it justice. This is my first effort at a “lyric video” and there are definitely some things I’ll do differently the next time. I shot several photos of Janice for the recent collab with Joanne and this was a rare one where Janice wasn’t smiling. It fit the mood for this song but all my others of her, even older ones, have her signature big smile. So I had to go with one photo. What the heck. We most welcome you watching/listening and commenting. There is an audio only link at the bottom of the page. Vocal: Janice/Rodes NT1/Blue Icicle USB/Logic Pro X Bass: 712 Acoustic Bossa Simple Version (with some note tweaking) RD: N'ville 8th (sticks) Guitar R 1: 2051 Acoustic Fingerpicking Guitar R 2: RT 365 Acoustic Fingerpicking Fiddle R: RT 1760 Background Pop Fiddle L: RT 2028 Solo Country Accordion: RT 1757 Rhythm Pop All effects and mastering: Ozone 6 and Nectar 2 Video: iMovie MISSING YOU © 2015 LAWRENCE OLIVIER I’VE GOT A HEADACHE POUNDING LIKE PROBLEMS UNRESOLVED MY EYES ARE BLEARY MY MOUTH IS DRY AS SALT AND SCENES FROM LAST NIGHT ARE STARTING TO COME THROUGH AND I’M ALREADY MISSING YOU I DRANK TO HAPPINESS THEN I DRANK TO EXCESS SWEAR I’M SORRY LOVE FOR GETTING US IN THIS MESS FOOLISHNESS AND SELFISHNESS GOT NO PLACE IN LOVE’S BREW AND I’M ALREADY MISSING YOU TURNAROUND SEEMS LIKE YESTERDAY WHEN YOU TOOK ME BY THE HAND SAID I WAS YOUR WOMAN ’N IF I WERE SMART I’D LET YOU BE MY MAN I GUESS FATES GONNA HAVE IT’S WAY NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO AND I’M ALREADY MISSING YOU BRIDGE WE BREAK OUR PROMISES WE BREAK EACH OTHER’S HEARTS THEN WE ACT LIKE WE DON’T CARE WE BREAK THE WORLD YES, WE’RE TEARING IT IN TWO AND I BROKE ME RIGHT AFTER I BROKE YOU SO HERE’S MY STORY AND IF I DON’T KNOW WHERE TO START START IT IN GLORY END IT UP IN BROKEN HEARTS I FEEL LIKE CRYING BUT WHO WOULD I CRY TO SO I’LL JUST SIT HERE MISSING YOU I’LL BE FOREVER MISSING YOU AUDIO LINK: MISSING YOU

Hi J&B/Lawrence,
A great write it is. So is the interpretation. We already commented on this song on soundcloud. The writing video works for us. In our opinion some more pictures could have been inserted, but this surely is a pretty one!

Rob & Anne-Marie Thank you! If I were to do it over I'd put a picture of a pond or spring during the ripple effect while the fiddle takes the solo. More pix of Janice would have been good but I don't have anymore that are sad or contemplative. I'm gonna keep at the lyric video thing and hopefully improve. You guys have set such a high standard for videos that I can only dream. We appreciate y'all. J&B

Janice, as they say on the uk X-Factor you have made this song your own.
Video works great as well, everything about this is so professional.

With a song by Lawrence and a vocal by Janice, I knew it would be great. And IT WAS!! Really nicely done. I love the longing and heartbreak in the lyrics, and Janice delivers beautifully. Arrangement and mix are great. Enjoyed very much!! Take care. Greg

Beautiful. Every aspect.
The write. Beautiful.
The arrangement and instrumentation and mix. Beautiful.
Vocal (do I need to say it?) - Beautiful.
The video is just what a lyric video ought to be. Show the lyric to the song without getting in the way of hearing the music. A single picture is all you need - any more would take your attention from the write, the music, the singing - the song.
Great combination.
Beautiful.

Nice presentation from start to finish! I love the photo of Janice! Even when she doesn't smile with her mouth, she smiles with her eyes! That's the perfect cover for her next album... (hint hint)
aside: JUMPSTART can provide crowd funding to cover studio costs for talented artists who don't have deep pockets. Just sayin'.
Janice could sing the phone book and it would melt my heart... but when she teams up with a song writer of Lawrence's ability, it really sparkles! Every verse had a clever line... my favorite being " I drank to happiness, then I drank to excess..." that's downright inspired!
I'd never seen the format you used for the video.. with a photo on the right accompanied by a verse at a time on the left, presented in a matching font! Now that was artsy!
And I also really like the idea of reinterpreting the songs of others on the forum. It brings a newness to a song when somebody else presents it in a different style.
What can I say? Lawrence is one of my very favorite forum song writers, Bud always has he magic production touch and Janice is one of my favorite singers... that was a total pleasure! Thanks to everyone involved!

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."
Happy Easter! Holiday Hours...

Our Customer Service hours this weekend are:
