A great write! Haunting and sublime.


I love your instrument choices and the levels that you mixed them - that held chord piano just peeking through. And your vocals are spot on.


Great song!

Greg my friend this is your best to date. Everything is spot on! Your instrumentation is perfect for the groove and your vocals. Your lyrics are fantastic!

This is a keeper.

PS - I listened very carefully because I thought high in Hawaii might be something else whistle

The devil made my this that grin

HI Greg,

Was gonna point out the really good lines ... but I'd simply have to report the entire lyric ... every line is a gem!

As others have said ... a wonderful vocal. This is a sit back, close your eyes and smile as you listen song. Fabulous in every way. This is a textbook example of how to write a an excellent song in its entirety. Simply wonderful!

A very surprising beginning. And after that a perfect buildup of the instruments.
Especially the pedal steel guitar works great.
Your vocals are beautiful.

Thanks so much Ember! I don't remember seeing your comments until recently. New there? Or just started checking out the forum? Take care. Greg

Great song construction,lyrics and vocal.
I feel a two bar intro would have helped a little.
Nicely done.

What's not to like...

Thanks so much for the nice review Floyd. As you know, I'm a huge Henley fan and that is a very flattering comparison. Take care. Greg

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."

Happy Easter! Holiday Hours...

Our Customer Service hours this weekend are:

Friday, March 29: 8-4
Saturday, March 30: 8-4
