https://soundcloud.com/alfredo-de-pietra/where-have-all-the-heroes-goneMusic: Alfredo De Pietra lyrics & vocals: James Higgins Where Did All Our Heroes Go We all watch from afar for just a little sign of light But the curtains are drawn and they're pulled close tight From the highest of the high to the lowest of the low Where we once saw hope we can only find fear and hate From hope to fear to hate Oh where did all our heroes go From hope to fear to hate Oh where did all our heroes go From the Hollywood hills to the Bowery slums We've searched high and low but there ain't no one Oh the silver screen has a verdigris sheen Countless million carbon atoms floating round the sky But in god you trust the truth you do deny We used to look to you as a guiding light But your just the same let the blind lead the blind From hope to fear to hate Oh where did all our heroes go From hope to fear to hate Oh where did all our heroes go We all watch from afar for just a little sign of light

Where did they go indeed.
Like Greg said "cool vocal and nice arrangement!"
The mandolin works very well.
We enjoyed this!

Good song! I liked the lyrics alot and the vocal has a nice engaging feel. I listened to a few other tracks from your SoundCloud- very enjoyable (I especially liked your version of Lord Franklin). It seems you have a you have an interesting ongoing collaboration-I look forward to more.

I really like this a lot! I didn't think I was going to like it as much as I do by just reading the lyrics - what a cool song and sound. And I love James' voice and the way he sings this. The arrangement and production is perfect. Sounds like something Paul Simon wrote and sang.
Great collab! Hope to hear more from you two.

I want really thank you all. You all are very kind. I live in Sicily, James in Scotland. We both aren't very young This song came from our discussions and our worries about what's happening in the last months (Brexit, U.S...) and what could happen (...hopefully not...) next months/years in several other European Countries. So, you may consider it as a political song, by some degree... James had the great ability to transform our thoughts into lyrics. Thanks again Alfredo

Alfredo & James,
Enjoyed the listen. Interesting to hear an outside view. A good write. Had the feel of a Springsteen lyric/song form his later acoustic periods..

Hi Alfstone, excellent work on this! I like the guitar noodling at the 1:30 mark, very easy vibe. Good one!
Cheers, Joe

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first?

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."
