A terrific listen. Enjoyed it.

floyd already said pretty much what I was going to say. ROCK SOLID production!

My only additional comment is that everything about the music is upbeat... the tempo, the style, the delivery, the key is major... but the message is somewhat dark, and that creates a bit of cognitive dissonance as I listen.

The closest commercial song about which I'd say the same thing is Linda Ronstadt/Stone Ponies "Different Drum" ... But the disconnect doesn't seem to have hurt the way her song was received, so maybe it's just me.

My own musical sensibilities would like to hear this message delivered with a slower song in a minor key, or the same song with a more upbeat message.

Having said all that, I think the song and the lyrics are both very good, the song is a treat, and I imagine you are quite pleased with this one.. you certainly should be!

This is a cool song, indeed, and one we'll share to folks
to illustrate how powerful BiaB is in the hands of
talented folks.

And, as always, terrific write, vocals and guitar!

Thanks for the comprehensive review appreciate it. I felt the lyric was somewhat tongue in cheek hence the major feel. Not sure what the author felt didn't bother asking him - which often leads to some interesting interpretations. He mainly picks me up on phrasing issues (& playing too much guitar).

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

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."
