That is lovely Joanne! Your producer/engineer side really shines and the beautiful vocals let your "Baez side" soar.
Nice!

Joanne,
A very sweet melody you`ve given to Falling In Love and your crystal clear vocal makes this a keeper.

Somehow I missed this one totally.... wow.... love the combination of the children's lullaby lyrics with the reggae music..... so very cool.
What a great song.

Thanks Floyd, Robert, Janice and Bud and Herb for checking back in. I appreciate it. Herb, were you referring to "Song to wake you in the morning"? Just can't pinpoint any reggae in my songs so not sure which one you are referring to.
Nearly on the home run! My FAWM profile has a "cup" on it for reaching the finishing line but there are still two "cheats" (two duplicates) So still going to try and get the last two in before the end of the month.
Here are some lyrics that could be interpreted to be slightly political so may not appeal to all but if anybody would like to set them to music I would really appreciate it (I am starting to run out of steam!). They are Based on the poem "The White House"
by Claude McKay, 1889 - 1948
Your door is shut
against my face,
As sharp as steel
with discontent;
But with courage
And with grace
Chorus
I hold myself
to the letter
of your law
I bear my anger
proudly
The pavement stabs
beneath my feet,
And passion strides
upon the street;
Where boldly shines
your shuttered suit
I search for wisdom
every hour,
inside my body
Low and raw,
And buried deep
I find my power
Chorus
I hold myself
to the letter
of your law
I bear my anger
proudly
Bridge
I keep my heart inviolate
Against the poison of your hate.
Chorus
I hold myself
to the letter
of your law
I bear my anger
proudly

And for my grand finale I am posting THIS ONE. Yes it is a political Hip Hop tune. THE LETTER OF YOUR LAW I get the feeling that political songs are not very popular this FAWM but I thought I would finish off with this anyway. Because it is political and is about anger I could not think of anything to do but yell! Hence you do not have the pretty folk song that you may come to expect from me but a rather ugly hip-hop one!. Oh well. My very first HIP HOP song. FAWM is certainly a good place to experiment and BIAB is the most versatile tool for trying out something new. I will say that I wont be putting it on my FAWM album which will be called "A song to wake you in the morning"!! It is based on the poem "The White House" by Claude McKay, 1889 - 1948 Lyrics: Your door is shut against my face, As sharp as steel with discontent; But with courage And with grace I bear my anger proudly Chorus I hold myself to the letter of your law I bear my anger proudly The pavement stabs beneath my feet, And passion strides upon the street; Where boldly shines your shuttered suit I bear my anger proudly Chorus I hold myself to the letter of your law I bear my anger proudly I search for wisdom every hour, inside my body Low and raw, And buried deep I find my power I bear my anger proudly Chorus I hold myself to the letter of your law I bear my anger proudly Real tracks: ****** Song Summary ************* Title: _HOPHORN Demo (All RT with Loop - Hip Hop Beat with Horns) File:the letter of your law.SGU Key=F , Tempo 100, Length (m:s)=2:24 No intro. 56 bar chorus, from bar 1 to bar 56.

"The Letter Of Your Law" is really cool! It has some swagger to it and you really deliver the goods - loved it!

Awesome job, Joanne! Love to hear people stepping a bit outside of their comfort zone and trying something new. Really cool Joanne, Plus 1 for your gutsy take on this poem. If anyone could make hiphop sound sweet its you...but yes, you gave us a good gritty version of yourself! Some interesting voices in the background and a nice production job, under some time constraints as well. Robert

Than you Will and the Bob brigade (rsdean,Bob Buford and Robert) for taking the time to listen to this experiment. It is appreciated. CONVERSATION AFTER THIRTY YEARS So here is number 14. These most haunting lyrics were written by Elizabeth Petty. I just don't know whether they are happy or sad or just plain realistic and I also can't decide if I want to end up this way or if I don't. But I nearly weep everytime I think about them. Anyway, here is my musical take on them. One person on the FAWM forum said it reminded them of Simon and garfunkel "bookends". If you listen on headphones you will notice that I panned the versus and the "choruses" to opposite sides to give the feeling of a conversation between two people. I balanced this panning with midi generated lines that follow the line of my vocal. I pitched up the verse midi line and used a violin. For the "chorus" I pitched the midi line down and used a cello. The idea was to give the impression of the versus being sung by a woman and the "choruses" being the mans reply. Lyrics: do you think it will stay this warm from now until the start of spring? or do you think it's a fluke kind of bizarre climate change thing? em I don't really know. whatever you believe I will say that it is so should we take the dog next time to a new and different dog groomer? or do you like the old puppy cut she got from that lady on Spooner? I don't really care do what you think is best for her and her hair. did you see that the Bedfords bought a new car I think it's a Jeep? or do you think it is a Japanese look a-like one they bought for cheap? I don't really think what the neighbors get haven't seen their new car yet did you ever imagine we would be together for over thirty years? do you ever remember worrying that we would lack things to say dear?

Yah it is officially OVER. I have 15 new songs most of which I am very proud of and will be released on iTunes on a new album shortly. Thank you so much to all my collaborators. Liz Petty, Arthur Rossi, Bob Buford, Marthie Hauptfleisch and Cynthia Wolff. You have made this FAWM absolutely fantastic and something to be repeated many more times... I could NOT resist these wonderful lyrics written by Liz Petty so ended up writing and recording two songs in my last day. ENOUGH (CEMENT SHOES) Lyrics: Enough (Cement Shoes) V1 working two jobs raise three children fighting back the tears when she is hurting taking the hits trying to stay married ignoring all the pain that she has carried PC and now she has had enough no... more...strength.... to stay tough.... C she's got cement shoes on walking in the water somebody's mother somebody's daughter she's got cement shoes on treading in the water its the only option that life has taught her and the water drowns her tears... V2 sitting at home watch the window feeling all alone since she's a widow missing her kids knowing that they are busy waiting for their call she grows more lonely PC and now she has had enough all... the.. sadness... is too much..... C she's got cement shoes on walking in the water somebody's mother somebody's daughter she's got cement shoes on treading in the water its the only option that life has taught her and the water drowns her tears.... B waves of women broken battered still crash against a shore waves of women empty forgotten will haunt us evermore C they've got cement shoes on walking in the water somebody's mother somebody's daughter they've got cement shoes on treading in the water that is the only option that life has taught them and the water drowns their tears....

Joanne
Just listened to a selection of these songs. Excellent work - some really pretty melodies, and vocals abound.
Really well done.
Finished off with the last one Conversation After 30 years which has a lovely haunting sound and melody.

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."
