Hey All:

Been a while since I posted a song here. Have wanted to record this song for years!

Created only using BIAB 2016
Style: _POPPNOL.STY Pop Piano Liverpool Ballad

I transferred it to Sonar for mastering...don't profess to be the greatest "masterer" so any advice would be appreciated! thanks all.

Lyrics:
I think I need your help
To get from here to there
It's hard for me to admit it
I don't think I want to admit it.

Do you want to help me
And do you even care
Can you help me get from here to there

Life can be so hard
Can you understand
Have you ever been there
Tell me if you can

I know I need to change
And I know I've been unfair
But can you help me get from here to there

It's time to grow up now
And try to do things right
Stop acting like a child

But I can't do this alone
So now I'm asking you if you're willing to
Help me...

I might not have the courage
To ask you again
If you want to think about it
Well you can tell me then

Do you want to help me
Or do you even care
Can you help me get from here to there

Do you want to help me
And do you even care
Can you help me get from here to there

Michael, I very much enjoyed this. Brother you can really sing! Delivered with great emotion. Mix sounds clean and balanced. Nicely written and arranged. I hope you decide to post some more. Well done! Tom

Michael,

I totally agree with Tom. You have an amazing voice! Very professional.

The mix sounds good and the song is great too.

I checked out your website and also loved your version of Unchained Melody smile

All the best,

Why do you not have a record deal?? You are an amazing singer!! The song is really good too. Well written, arranged, produced, and mixed. But, how many people can sing like that?? Not many. Wonderful!! Take care. Greg

Michael,

This is a very good 80s/90s style ballad.
The Piano Liverpool works great here.
Very professional vocals!

Michael,

Tom pretty much said everything I thought as I listened (he often does).

Beautifully sung, very well arranged and mixed. The vocals are really well recorded (what is your recording chain for that?).

Enjoyed it.

Michael, what stood out right from the start was the amazing vocal delivery.
You've managed to provide a fantastic melody, with a perfect build.

This song continued to exceed my expectations. All complete with a beautiful subtle softening to bring the song to its perfect finale.

Going back for a 3rd listen.

Can't add much to what's already been said - superb professional vocal.
To others I'd suggest a visit to your 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."
