This was originally a finger-picking song which didn't hit that spot and dedicated to Elvis, Freddie Mercury, John Lennon, David Bowie, and the musician mates lost in the last 2 years Gary, Stroudie, Alan, Albert and Dick the dogs ( long story hahaha) SO vocals loaded into BIAB and then the song changed for the better because of the contest. Angels can sing Rock and Roll At least there's something we now know there's no reason for him to go but the difference in the way we speak and hold it tight oh no-o at least there's something we now know we now know angels can sing rock and roll there's still a lot that we got left all the memories just won't fade gones the difference in the way we speak and hold it tight oh no-o at least there's something we now know we now know angels can sing rock and roll aah just a king ooh just a king I'll never know if it's gonna come true like they say might as well do as they say it doesn't matter all as one we feel the same each feels different as a name but the difference in the way we speak and hold it tight oh no-o at least there's something we now know we now know angels can sing rock and roll ooh just a king ooh just a king I'll never know if it's gonna come true like they say might as well do as they say it doesn't matter anymore Style is _SERENAD.STY (Serenade Songwriter Folktronica) RealTracks in style: 2475:Bass, Acoustic, HeldSimple Ev 085 RealTracks in style: 1639:Piano, Electric, Rhythm JazzFunkBreezy Ev16 075 RealTracks in style: 2552:Guitar, Acoustic, Fingerpicking Songwriter16ths Ev16 075 RealTracks in style: 367:Guitar, Electric, Background Dreamy Ev 065 RealTracks in song: 1770:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm JazzFunkMovinChords Ev16 130 Loop in Song: Dubstep\Dubstep - robo_wars_150_drum_loop_1_a_sharp_minor ev8.wav RealDrums in style: BrushesPop8thsSwirl: a: Swirl Tap b: BrushesPop8thsSwirl vocals Alyn and the Flab Four. enjoy Alyn

Hi Alyn,
No-one, absolutely no-one creates and presents music like you. Without exception, at the end of your songs, I always find myself sitting back in my chair and reflecting on your lyrics. You make me think and I really like that. Too many fine people have definitely left Earth way too soon.
Thank you for yet another journey in music and thought.
All the best, Noel

You're breaking my heart here, boy. Such a sad song!
The chorus is so ethereal...
Thanks for showing off that style. Well done...

I was waiting for an explosive change somewhere on the first third of the song, (Because I really love that in your songs!) but that didn't come....... what did come was a very cool transition, Very effective chord change like we've come to know so well in your music.

All the best, Noel I started this song when Elvis died in 1977 and finished the lyrics last year when my ole guitar sparring partner Albert died, But as an acoustic guitar song it was "just like any other folk song" THEN this style really brought the song to life. Thanks for listening and yes too many good folks have passed recently Alyn

Beautiful vocals and arrangement. Thanks David, as I said in the reply to floyd this style REALLY works in this song. I sat back and went WOW when I first heard it in BIAB. It was almost perfect as it was, straight from the box. Alyn

Hello, Alyn
Melancholic and beautiful song with unique chord progressions! Somehow I feel a trace of John Lennon in your vocals. Very enjoyable listen.
Best Regards.

Serenade Songwriter Folktronica--Now, that's a name for a style! This is really cool Alyn!! I do hear the "serenade" element in the music. Very nice tribute! I particularly love the dreamy feel of the choruses. This is vintage GIBSON!! Take care. Greg

Shigeki Adachi Good to hear from you, so glad you enjoyed it. Lennon was a great influence on me when I was growing up and in my early recording days I read how his voice was recorded and tried to emulate him! all the best Alyn

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:
