#365412 - 09/14/16 08:00 AM [2016 & 2017 Xtra Styles Contests - Closed] Lonely Days Of Destiny
Registered: 11/29/06 Posts: 1400 Loc: Finland jannesan Expert Registered: 11/29/06 Posts: 1400 Loc: Finland	Lonely Days Of Destiny Style: _WAYSIDE Category: Country I had a dream in which I had written a song called Lonely Days Of Destiny. I heard couple of bars from this country song in the dream. The title sounded so good that I felt I had to make it for real, but otherwise I had free hands to do it. When the new Xtra styles were released, I watched the introduction video and immediately noticed that _WAYSIDE.STY was ideal for my song, so I had no other choice than to buy the styles . And here it is, reconstructed from this minimal input data. This song was definitely destined to take part in this great contest I hope my interpretation of a country song does not offend the purists I hired Johnny and June Rob and Anne-Marie to do the vocals and what a fantastic job they did once again! Instruments from the style _WAYSIDE.STY: RD: NashTrainEv16^1-a:Sticks Snare , b:Sticks Snare 16th :Brian Fullen RT2474: Bass, Acoustic, Held Ev 085 , Craig Nelson RT664: Guitar, Acoustic, Rhythm SouthernRock Ev 085 (A:fpick) , Audley Freed RT2548: Guitar, Acoustic, Rhythm FolkSorrow Ev16 090 , Quinn Bachand RT378: Guitar, Acoustic, Strumming DoubleTime Ev 088 , Jason Roller RT2543: Pedal Steel, Background ModernCrossover Sw16 090 additional realtracks: RT2448: Guitar, Electric, Background, PopDreamyBrent Ev 085 RT2517: Guitar, Acoustic, Fingerpicking BoomChickHighJoe Ev16 110 (Simple) RT2637: Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm CountryBentNoteBalladJohn Ev 085 Vocals: RnAM Lyrics: Lonely days of destiny cheerless days that no-one hears about days that are all akin old does not end and new does not begin. Lonely days of destiny that could be the title of my song filled with thousand clichéd rhymes that have been used 5 million times no phrases strong, no leaps for the mankind just verses boring and long. They say the fortune is written in stardust you can read my life in the brown ink of rust these lonely days are unjust. Lonely days of destiny pointless days that no-one reads about grey has just one shade the future's not built and history's not made. Lonely days of destiny that could be the title of my book filled with thousand empty lines without the spark of Frankenstein a lifeless look of a frustrated reader a story, no catch, no hook. They say... When finding a friend is uncertain goldmining you can't share the cloud with a nice silver lining then pick up your pencil and earn from your misery moments in losers' days of destiny just like me. They say... these lonely days: rich and just. - Janne

I love those "dream songs"--that is the absolute coolest. Wonderful arrangement. Gorgeous work with the guitars. But I don't understand the part about Johnny. He shows up anytime I call him, and takes a little break from heaven. He does tell me that the country music up there is A LOT better than it is down here, though. Isn't that strange? Except for this song of course!!! _________________________ David Snyder Audiophile Everything + Studio + Instruments + Fingers ASCAP, NSAI www.davidsnydermusic.com www.reverbnation.com/davidpsnyder www.soundcloud.com/davidsnyderchannel www.songtradr.com/user/profile/david.snyder

Registered: 05/02/14 Posts: 3180 Loc: The Netherlands RnAM Veteran Registered: 05/02/14 Posts: 3180 Loc: The Netherlands	Once again it was a pleasure to work with Janne on a...... country song this time. Now at first glance this song sounds relatively simple, but there's a catch, Janne's songs are never simple ;-) In the bridge there is a very tricky moment in the "moments in losers" part (a very nice dropping note). I remember one or two lines in the choruses I had trouble singing correctly. So we thought, let's just copy these lines to the final chorus (after the solo). No sir, it turned out to be modulated (we had no idea). Good work from our Finland songwriter. Rob _________________________ We are Rob Meulman and Anne-Marie Bovenkamp from The Netherlands.

It could have happened that I visited heaven and Johnny played me his heavenly song there and now I have stolen it and I will be punished with eternal (ring of) fire Janne

Band-in-a-Box® Tip of the Day!

Did you know that Band-in-a-Box® will show you some helpful "Tips" when you start the program? What a great way for new program users to learn all the features of the program! Want to know Tips on just the latest version? This feature can be adjusted to just show the Tips for that too.

Maybe you're a long-time user of the program, and have this feature turned off? To access Tip of the Day (450+ available!), head to Help | Tip of the Day. Your Tip will appear right away - and you'll have the option of reading the Next Tip if you wanted too! Within this window is where you would also choose to "Show Tips at Startup" (if this is unchecked, you won't see them), or "Only Show Tips for Version 2019".

Here's a few Tips the program informed me of the last time I opened Band-in-a-Box®:

In the Piano Roll window, the 'Ghost Note' function allows you to view a single-channel, and see notes on all other channels display in light grey. This is useful when working with multi-channel tracks.

Want a bigger guitar display? Drag the bottom end of the Guitar Window to change its size, or press the SETTINGS button to set a custom size.

The Printout can use left and right MARGINS. This is useful to make printouts for small paper size or 3 hole paper that requires margins.

Edit | Nudge Chords/Melody. Let's say that you have entered a complete song chord progression, and you then realize that all of the chords starting at bar 23 are 1 beat to late. You can use this feature to slide your chords over by 1 beat.
