#335036 - 02/05/16 06:03 AM [User Showcase] It's All In The Heart (Greg/floyd)
Registered: 08/10/12 Posts: 9483 Loc: Florida floyd jane Veteran Registered: 08/10/12 Posts: 9483 Loc: Florida	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.

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. _________________________ BIAB Ultra Pak+ 2021:RB 2021, Latest builds: Dell Optiplex 7040 Desktop; Windows-10-64 bit, Intel Core i7-6700 3.4GHz CPU and 16 GB Ram Memory.

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.

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

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.

Good job to both of you. 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... _________________________ 150+ Songs produced using BIAB RealTracks And 50 more... and some more...

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.

Registered: 12/12/11 Posts: 3275 Loc: York, England ROG Veteran Registered: 12/12/11 Posts: 3275 Loc: York, England	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. _________________________ Free online guitar lessons.

What I lacked in clarity initially is an understatement to the enjoyment of my several listens. 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=bb1DTsxBOfE We'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... _________________________ 150+ Songs produced using BIAB RealTracks And 50 more... and some more...

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...

Band-in-a-Box® - Boxing Clever - Sound on Sound #TBT

Did you know that Band-in-a-Box® is more than 30 years old? I stumbled across this 1990 magazine article explaining the relatively new program, and think it's an enjoyable read for any Band-in-a-Box user - it really shows that we are always listening to user feedback when developing our program!

Read the article: Boxing Clever: Band-In-A-Box Software

A few of my favorite statements:

"The intention of PG Music's Band-In-A-Box package is to couple that speed and convenience with the improved flexibility of the personal computer. Versions are available for the Atari ST, Mac, and PC compatibles. Have the programmers succeeded? And can they rid themselves of the stigma of the auto-accompaniment section? Given the above state of affairs, the first hurdle that the program has to overcome is one of acceptance and, frankly, a name like 'Band-In-A-Box' is a bad start."

(I think our name was a great start!)

"The final results are, to say the least, impressive. Band-In-A-Box achieves something that most hardwired auto-accompaniment sections have never been able to do - inject a degree of feel into the music. It really does sound more human than so many of the computer generated pieces I've heard."

"...I'm quite convinced that PG Music will have a winner on their hands. This is one piece of software that you can get more out of than you put in."
