This is a song that wrote a few years back. I always meant to record it, but somehow I kept putting it off. Two days ago, a good friend who had heard me sing the song, called and ask if I would send him a copy. That was the push I needed to get me going. Here is the song, scratch vocals and all. I hope you like it.

A very well written and meaningful song. I think there is maybe a bit of clipping on the vocal - I'm hearing a little distortion there. But your voice is perfect for the song. A little tweaking & you've got a great track!

Thanks Curt,
I need to rerecord the vocal on this one. I recorded sitting in front of my computer with an old shure mike that I had laying around. I have always liked the feel of the song, and I don't really know why I haven't taken the time to finish it, but a drawer full of unrecorded songs will do that to you sometime. Thank you for taking the time to comment.

The melody is a copyright infringement lawyer's slam dunk dream, dead ringer for Kris Kristofferson's song, Help Me Make It Through The Night. Many of the lines in the verse and chorus are note for note. My wife, downstairs hearing this song playing on my computer, also commented that it was Kris's melody.

I would reconsider this song project, since other aspects of this also need work. Keep the words, rewrite the melody and then record it better. The recording sounded like it was recorded with a single mic in a room with the music playing on a stereo. Lot's and lots of room sound, no lows, and the aforementioned vocal issues.

Of course, this is simply my personal opinion.

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.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.
