The Greatest Pop Of All This song tells about heartbeat - the life-sustaining force, the greatest pop which is surely the first sound we hear before we are born and which we can hum and enjoy our time of life. The song was originally written in 2009, inspired by the music of Paddy McAloon. The Vocaloid version has been around since then, but finally I can release this with a real singer. Big thanks to Miira for her amazing vocals, especially the heavenly angelic choir she created and lifted the song to even higher level. Once again BIAB provided great instruments for the arrangement, this has quite many MIDI instruments. The guitar solo needed quite much copy-paste before it was good enough. MIDI: by me: piano, oboe, SynthDrum CelticAir Piano - MST Orch60.sty Brass - ST3 Orch60.sty Strings - GPO4 Orch60.sty Piano -> Sforzando Acoustic Str Bass Piano_F.sty Piano - GPO4 Spring.sty Bass - IO Spring.sty Pad - GPO4 Spring.sty Piano GPO4 Spring.sty Drums Heartbeat - XV5050 RealDrums: NashvilleEven8,1-SideStick,Ride RealTracks: Acoustic Guitar Pick #365 Acoustic Guitar Strum #368 Electric Guitar Slide #382 Electric Guitar Solo #583 Harmonica #626 Resonator Guitar #377 Sax #403 Vocals: MiiraLyrics: Through the clouds filled with helium through the unknown Voyager glides, space citizens like us living by the stardust highway hear this magic melody. Mellowing the tough guys a song even a punk must croon catchier than modern jazz pretentious to enchant prog fans on the dark side of the Moon. I've been humming the world's simplest pop tune sacredly touching it has made me swoon. God has sown this hymn of the blessed ones let all your prejudices fall find it in your heart there's the greatest pop of all. Sailors adrift on an endless sea mountaineers stuck on the snow top of K2 Divers in the Mariana trench these chords still strike in their hearts. Widows seeking for comfort singles having a broken heart what if they could join their hands lifted by the anthem strong enough to pull the seas apart. [Chorus] Not a praise of the highness but a fanfare for the smallest ones who fumble through thorny lives without sweet solace they deserve to hear this gentle chant of nuns. [Chorus] ------ Janne

Janne, this is such a lovely song! The vocal performance is outstanding! The build up of sound at 1:40 is great with such a full lush sound. Great chord changes! Thanks, Torrey

Hello, Janne
Very beautiful song. Mira' s vocal performance is outstanding! The chord progression is very pleasant as usual. Heartbeat is very effective. Very enjoyable listen.
Best regards.

Hello Jannesan, Great work on this! Really enjoyed the vocals and the guitar solo. Definitely the greatest pop of all! Thanks Joe for your nice comment I'm glad you liked the guitar solo, I had to work hard to get it right - I had to transpose the original song several semitones for Miira's vocal range and I tried Melodyne to transpose the original guitar solo, put it didn't sound good. So I had to build a new solo from several generated sections. Janne

Thanks, Torrey Thanks Torrey for your kind comment Thanks to Miira for the build up of lush sound, the melody in that part was originally played by an oboe sound, but I asked Miira to sing that part also, just to test how it would work. And I'm really happy I asked because she made such an excellent work on it. Janne

"Mellowing the tough guys a song even a punk must croon catchier than modern jazz pretentious to enchant"
This is so true of a lot of modern pop songs! I remember even during my high school years my thrasher friends would be singing the pop songs from the radio almost compulsively. There's some unknown power in pop songs that we all succumb to at some point in our lives, no matter your genre preference. At least that's my belief!
Awesome tune! Can't wait to hear the next one.

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."
