A Johnson & jane joint effort. A Greg/floyd collaboration. Greg sent me some stuff. Based on advice he received from an old friend. I added some stuff to it. Then threw some more stuff at it. Then piled some BIAB tracks on top of it. I asked Greg to sing it, but he felt it was more my thing (meaning "country")... There you have it. Recipe for a co-write. IT'S ALL IN THE HEART she was the cutest thing i'd ever seen my very first crush, jenny bernstein she caught me staring, i hung my head a nervous wreck, 10 shades of red dad saw it all, gave me a wink and a nudge then he sat me down when i refused to budge if you're gonna catch the big ones, boy you gotta think like a fish while you gotta keep your hope alive don't bet the farm on a wish beauty's in the eye of the beholder with women and with art but when it comes down to love, son it's all in the heart i've had my share of mistakes and close calls not sure it was love but there were plenty of falls but now I know I found the one i've been dreaming of all along scared to make a move, i'll mess up everything there was dad, to sit me down again if you're gonna catch the big ones, boy you gotta think like a fish while you gotta keep your hope alive don't bet the farm on a wish beauty's in the eye of the beholder with women and with art but when it comes down to love, son it's all in the heart it's in the way you feel deep down can barely breathe, you're gonna drown an endless fall it seems every moment like a dream indescribable it never lets go you're all in heart and soul if you're gonna the big ones, boy you gotta think like a fish while you gotta keep your hope alive don't bet the farm on a wish beauty's in the eye of the beholder with women and with art but when it comes down to love, son it's all in the heart ©2016 Greg Johnson and floyd jane The boys in the BAND!: RealTracks in song: 1190:Bass, Electric, ModernRnBRock Ev 065 RealTracks in song: ~1676:Guitar, Acoustic, Fingerpicking CountryBrent Ev 065 RealTracks in song: 1946:Mandolin, Rhythm ModernCountrySync Ev16 100 RealTracks in song: 910:Piano, Electric, Rhythm SmoothBallad Ev16 065 MIDI SuperTracks in song: 2060:Strings, Rhythm PopCountry Ev 120 MIDI SuperTracks in song: 2058:Strings, Rhythm CelticAir Ev 085 RealTracks in song: 1835:Guitar, Electric, Soloist PopModernGrooveGritty Ev16 075 RealDrums in style: NashvillePop16^4-a:SideStick, HiHat , b:Snare, Hihat We hope you enjoy it.

Whew... now this is a good one. Great collaboration. Great performance and arrangement.
Lyrically, this is an excellent candidate for a contemporary, modern country song and to my ear, without too much tweaking.
Not suggesting any changes or that any are needed. Just saying that to me, by several lines in, I saw potential for a good (aka Luke Bryan, Blake Shelton, etc) song. It's all part of my analytical process when I listen to a song. No matter what manner I dissect this song, it will work. So, I know it has that certain quality that stands the test of time. Good job to both of you.

Well written and executed. To my ear what sounds like an electric piano is a little over the top in the mix, but I'm nitpicking.
Good vox, theme, could be performed by several artists in the new flavor of country.
Good job

floyd & Greg, With you two teaming up, I knew what to expect. You exceeded my high level of expectation. Killer chorus.
" beauty's in the eye of the beholder
with women and with art
but when it comes down to love, son
it's all in the heart"
I don't know if those lines came early in the process, but if they did I would bet the story fell right into place. A nice little story of Dad's lesson of love taught to his son. Great lyrics all the way through and a melody that supports the feel. Good arrangement and very well sung. Mix is spot on. It doesn't get much better than this. Tom

Very very cool song! Both the lyrics and the music are great, such a breath of fresh air from a lot of the pablum and nonsense on the radio today. Great writing. And as usual, the production and overall sound quality is top notch.
Kudos!!!

Hey Floyd,
great song and collaboration.
Just a good song could be born of a collaboration between you.
Really pleasant.

We thank you for the listen, Charlie. You appear to be defining a "good song" as what Luke Byran or Blake Shelton do (how it reads anyway). I have to admit I don't much care for what either of them has been doing for quite some time - so I would not want to make this sound like them. Listen to some Billy Currington - I find that much more to my tastes and I could hear Billy doing a song similar to this. That "Luke Bryan sound" wears out quickly for me, so it is not something that I strive for...though I get that a lot of people like... Thanks for stopping by - always like to hear your thoughts...

Really good song - catchy chorus - great vocal (trademark) and top set of lyrics.
Hard to go wrong!

"You appear to be defining a "good song" as what Luke Bryan or Blake Shelton do "
Well, yes and no. Regarding Bryan and Shelton, I define the songs they release as singles to be "good songs" relative to the influence they tend to have on the current country genre and where their songs usually peak on the charts as opposed to my perception of the quality of how it's written. Even someone who does not particularly care for the genre would likely acknowledge Shelton's #1 single "Home" to be a good song as on the strength of the song itself also was a #1 single for the writer Michael Buble in a completely different arrangement in a completely different genre of music. I was not addressing your or my taste for the songs of that particular genre but the quality of "It's All In The Heart", its theme, lyrics, message and such.
My defining "It's All In The Heart" as a "good song" was to mean the same as I consider "Home" to be a "good song." My intention was to say "It's All In The Heart" has the strength to be a hit across several genres of music. <grin> you and Greg will have to decide what to do if Luke Bryan calls to ask to record it....
I have nothing but good feelings and good things to say about "It's All In The Heart", the write, production, arrangement and performance. What I lacked in clarity initially is an understatement to the enjoyment of my several listens.

Floyd & Greg
Another masterpiece! No question.
I always enjoy Greg's vocals, but he was right on the money here with choice of singer. You nailed it Floyd, your vocal is absolutely perfect.
This is a winner. Fantastic lyrics. Deserves airplay. Perfection.

Hi Guys.
Well, it's obviously a cracking song. (Does "cracking" translate, or is it a bit Yorkshire?)
A brilliant piece of writing, both music and lyrics and the vocals are just heartfelt and perfect.
But what about that mix! This has to be one of the best mixes I've heard in a while and I'm guessing that it's your work, Floyd, basically because of the drums. Like you, I often want the drums louder in some of the mixes we hear, but the drum sound on this track is wicked. I had to put it up on the big Tannoys and I watched as the kick drum bounced the cones around!
But it's not just the drums. This is a BIG sound and the stereo wash is beautiful and very in keeping with the style of the song.
Did I say I liked it?
ROG.

Charlie - thanks for the follow up and the clarification. I hadn't heard "Home" - is it, indeed, a fine song - it was released in 2008 - Blake used to do really good stuff... Do you know "Austin"? one of his earlier ones - I love this song! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bb1DTsxBOfEWe've gone around several times about "modern country" in other threads, so I don't want to get into that here. I've just grown weary of those who are constantly saying "well.. that sounds 'dated'" simply because it doesn't sound like bro-country. There is a lot more to "modern music" (and modern country, for that matter) than that particular sound... Pretty much anything that falls in the Americana category these days would likely be labeled "dated" by someone who only turns on Country radio for 5 minutes and then leaves because it isn't for them. There is a lot of good music out there... Again - thanks for the thoughts...

Good job
rob Thanks for dropping by, Rob. The e. piano is the foundation of the mix - and intended to "be heard". Listening on phones, monitors and small speakers (so a variety), it sits pretty much right where I want it - never "taking over". I appreciate the opinion, though... Nice one.
Loved the lyrics and that hook in the chorus just plain works. Thanks, Herb.

Hi Floyd and Greg, This is a beautiful collab with beautiful lyrics too! We get why Greg preferred to have it sung by you (country timbre in the voice) just like we did with Little young Pretty  Rob and Anne-Marie

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.
