Hi David, And when it's finished you stare blankly across the room, in a trance you've never experienced before but say, "Damn, I'm glad I listened to that!"
Alan & DI
Al and Di, thanks so much!
I hope you came out of the trance, but that gives me a reason to try and raise the bar.
Next time I am going for a space shuttle launch.

The melody created with many repeats of simple nice motif is wonderful. The unexpected chords that come out sometimes are splendid, which are really your feel. Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Let it all out David! You took the words right out of my mouth with WTF but do you know what? That was one hell of a song my friend. Not only great lyrics but sung in a way that gave the song more meaning. I loved it Paul
Thanks Yorkshire, the song WAS the therapy so all is well.
Sometimes you just have to listen to some Floyd, follow the crazy and press the reset button or you begin to take things a little too seriously, ya know?
This was fun.

I'm going to say I liked that, as a change of pace, as pushing the envelope, as winding up with very good crescendos (the shred solos) and as exploring a facet talked about but little understood, music as therapy.
I don't think I will ever really understand music, or how it works, or anything. It is like staring at the evening sky and wondering how far it goes.
I do know that I find myself really peaceful and still and calm writing the most simple, childlike, harmonious melodies right after I have taken the car out for a spin on the musical autobahn, so to speak, and gone 125 miles per hour in sixth gear to the smell of scorched rubber. The car grinds to a halt, I hit the last chord, the musical screaming is over, and I suddenly feel like a little happy cloud in a blue sky.
And then the simple stuff returns.
I will never figure this thing called music out but I do know I love it.

Video: Enhanced Melodists in Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows®!
We've enhanced the Melodists feature included in Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows!
Access the Melodist feature by pressing F7 in the program to open the new MultiPicker Library and locate the [Melodist] tab.
You can now generate a melody on any track in the program - very handy! Plus, you select how much of the melody you want generated - specify a range, or apply it to the whole track.
This new panel offers built-in specific support for the Reaper® DAW API allowing direct transfer of Band-in-a-Box® files to/from Reaper® tracks!
When you run the Plugin from Reaper®, there is a panel to set the following options:
-BB Track(s) to send: This allows you to select the Plugin tracks that will be sent Reaper.
-Destination Reaper Track: This lets you select the destination Reaper track to receive media content from the Plugin.
-At Bar: You can select a bar in Reaper where the Plugin tracks should be placed.
-Start Below Selected Track: This allows you to place the Plugin tracks below the destination Reaper track.
-Overwrite Reaper Track: You can overwrite previous content on the destination Reaper track.
-Move to Project Folder: With this option, you can move the Plugin tracks to the Reaper project folder.
