Hi Bob!
this is a fun listen! I like the guitar that played near the beginning and again in the middle... I would have liked to hear more of that... but maybe that's just because I'm a guitar player
The drums and pad were nice too, all in all a very nice composition!

My foot was tapping and my head swaying from the start to the finish of this one. I like this one a lot. Everything about this one is top notch.
Two thumbs up.
Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up.
Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

Another fine write, mix and performance. Love'd the "drive some baby" effect near the end.
It's fun to follow along with you as you experiment and you do a good job expanding out while staying rooted to folk. I would not have been unhappy to have seen you do more with this song.
Your mix worked well. But I think could have easily reached further. You possibly could have squeezed more 'flyover' feel by maybe changing style during the chorus. That would have accentuated the 'grounded' beat of the verse.
Enjoyed this one a lot and looking forward to your next post.

Hi Bob,
You certainly are carving a unique niche with your style of song , and lyrics. I like it, and this one confirmed for me why I like it. Keep it up.

Hi Bob,
very lyrical again. I like the beat you discovered for your songs. The guitar is a nice touch.
Enjoyable listen.

Bob,
this is very good work, kind of reminds me of Lloyd Cole and the commotions, back in the 90s.

Another really cool song Bob!! You've used a similar "band" which works very well with your style-love that dreamy guitar! Really cool, impressionistic lyrics and production and mix work great. Nice job!! Take care. Greg

Charlie,
Thanks - much appreciated. I always work with a lot of layers - the trick is always knowing when to stop layering... I tried to go easier with this one, but your point is a good one.

Bob, This new band that you've put together just flat out works with your material. I expect we will hear more of them as you continue to expand this sound. Nice job. Tom

Wow! It is so easy to get lost in that imagery. Like Tom said the band works really well with your style. The mix is outstanding. Everything sits right in it's place AND works with it's neighbors Excellent! J&B

Bob,
This "new sound" you've found fits you (your lyric style) like a glove!
It just works! Does a good job of putting the focus where it belongs... on your lyric.
The little bit of lead was just right.
Wish I knew how you come up with some of your lyrics - how you think, how these come to you... so cool...

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."
