So, it's been a while since I posted a song, but here we are with a bit of.... well, it's hard to say really, maybe a sort of progressive Punk-Rock. Anyway, here it is, for better or worse and I hope at least some of you get a bit of fun out of it. RT801 Guitar RT1680 12 string guitar RT479 Trumpet Lead and lap-steel guitars, bass and keyboards are by me, as are the vocals including the BVs which took me up to a top "A" (ouch) Victim of LoveI was lost in the Lost & Found I was down, down and out and nothing brought me round And the light, that light which always shone on me Faded away and brought me to my knees I called the doctor who said "Heavens above" He said "You're just another Victim of Love" He said "It's hard (It's so hard) And it just gets worse (Things can't get no worse) You've got to move on and try to shake that curse It's not easy when she's taken all you had Go and find some good love, before it all goes bad" I called the doctor who said "Heavens above" He said "You're just another Victim of Love" But she made me laugh She made me smile She made me happy For a little while As usual, many thanks to all who have the time to listen. Cheers, ROG

Cool song Rog. Has an 80's vibe to it. Really like your stuff. Last song post and this on reminds me of the Cars.

This is great! I think progressive punk-rock describes it perfectly.
Loved it.

ROG,
This is outstanding!
Cool opening - always an important factor to a production...
The mix is top-notch. Listening in phones, everything is in the perfect space...each instrument standing out and fitting in.
Love the bridge. The trumpet works spectacularly!
A good rock write. Interesting, entertaining.
One of your best vocals! (I always enjoy your vocals) Terrific harmonies!
This is a great listen - I'm on my 3rd...

Man, just so good! I agree with Scott, does remind me of something the Cars might have done back in the day, similar groove.
Outstanding in every way, killer job on the production too!

Super cool! We love it all. Janice is dancing around the living room as we listen ...actually she's singing along like a "backup chick." She said she feels a Dire Straits and Travelling Wilbury groove and I agree. Perhaps odd to hear that in a punk song - maybe the timbre of your vocal. Great write, playing (all of it) and production. Oh yeah!! Bud

Great!
An example of how a repetitive guitar riff can make a song interesting. Groovy voice and choruses placed at the right point. Well done !

Great write, ROG
Excellent phrasing, and the backing vocals added interest and fun.
I could hear some classic 'Queen' rock style in there.
Congratulations, well delivered.

So glad that Jeff Lynn could drop in and help with backing vocals, they're great! Also with a nod to Macca "it can't get no worse" This is another great feel good rocker from you. very cool, enjoyed!

Bob Hi Bob and thanks for the review. Glad you agree about the genre. I do listen to quite a bit of early Jonathon Richman and I think it maybe influenced this track. If you're not familiar with his stuff try this for size. It's a little strange, but I love it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UnmHgnPPkkQCheers, ROG.

ROG, nice tight sound throughout! I particularly liked the bridge and break. Great work on those background vocals too! Take care, Torrey

floyd Hi Floyd. I always look forward to getting your input and I'm pleased that you enjoyed this one. Listening to Alyn makes me want to break the mould and try something different and feedback is always welcome. Many thanks, ROG.

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."
