#428414 - 09/01/17 10:30 AM [User Showcase] What More Could I Need
Registered: 08/10/12 Posts: 8762 Loc: Florida floyd jane Veteran Registered: 08/10/12 Posts: 8762 Loc: Florida	One of those standard "son vs. father songs"... (doesn't every writer have one?) WHAT MORE COULD I NEED daddy was a simple man very simple tastes never seemed too interested in joining in the race i could never fathom why he didn't long for more a bigger house, a nicer car a newer coat than what he wore we argued over money we argued over dreams he never understood me at least that's how it seemed i asked "don't you wonder where other roads might lead?" he settled in his chair "son, what more could i need" (chorus) i've got the day god gave me laughter fills the air i've got my own opinions if anyone should care i've got a family raised on love tho' nothing's guaranteed it seems to me i've got it made what more could i need i was not content to hang in that small town my dad's simple philosophy was not about to hold me down so i took on the world without much more than a song determined i would make it just to prove him wrong but those other roads led nowhere the world put up a fight after many years of wandering i proved my daddy right i called to say i've finally come to understand your simple creed he said "son, you're always welcome back what more could you need?" repeat chorus now i live just down the road from that house so full of love my life is filled with the simple things my dad always spoke of i've got a loving woman my son's growing like a weed and when he argues "there most be more" i'll ask "son, what more could i need?" repeat chorus The BAND: Style is _HROCAMP.STY (Amplitube HrdRockLA Bass&Guitars) RealTracks in style: 995:Bass, Electric, HardRockLA Ev 120 RealTracks in style: 999:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm HardRockLAFuzzyA-B Ev 120 RealTracks in style: 996:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm HardRockLACrispA-B Ev 120 RealTracks in song: 659:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm TexasRockChop Ev 120 (B:8ths) RealTracks in song: 1520 Guitar, Electric, Soloist CountryWorkinBrent Ev16 090 RealTracks in song: 1169 Guitar, Electric, Soloist RockMediumBrent Ev 120 RealDrums in Song: PopAmerican RealDrums in Song: PopCalypso^1-a:Snare, Closed HiHat , b:Snare, Ride Comments welcome.

Great write, lots of good lines. My favorite: "so i took on the world without much more than a song determined i would make it just to prove him wrong" chorus is great too. Bass sounded a little low, but I'm not on my music computer with the good monitors at the moment so that could be the reason. Other than that, band sounded good! _________________________ Dave Blue Attitude Website Blue Attitude YouTube channel

Bass sounded a little low, but I'm not on my music computer with the good monitors at the moment so that could be the reason. Other than that, band sounded good! Thanks, Dave. The bass in this gave me considerable difficulty (it was actually mixed some time ago). It had a "boominess" to it that I could not tame no matter what I tried, so I finally removed all processing (compressor and eq are typical for my choices) and set it to the level of the other guitars - similar to how many Punk songs are mixed. That was the best choice I could find. Good ear... _________________________ 150+ Songs produced using BIAB RealTracks And 50 more... and some more...

Registered: 12/21/13 Posts: 5918 Loc: Davis, CA Greg Johnson Veteran Registered: 12/21/13 Posts: 5918 Loc: Davis, CA	i've got the day god gave me laughter fills the air i've got my own opinions if anyone should care i've got a family raised on love tho' nothing's guaranteed it seems to me i've got it made what more could i need WHAT A CHORUS!!! This song is a lesson in the craft of songwriting. It makes a great point that is crystal clear and so eloquently told. AMAZINGLY GOOD Floyd!! One of my dad's favorite little fables went something like this. When I was 18, my dad knew nothing, and was completely out of it. When I was 21, I realized my dad was a pretty smart guy. I couldn't believe how much he'd learned in only 3 years! Love the song Floyd! Take care. Greg

I am a little jealous of the way you always seem to make your vocal seem to set in just the right spot in your recordings. That is a struggle I'm still having. Great job!

Upgrading to Band-in-a-Box® 2020 is Easy!

Did you know... anyone who has owned a previous version of Band-in-a-Box® is entitle to upgrade pricing - you do not need to have your old version installed!

Maybe you used to own the Windows version, but you now have a Mac... that's not a problem either!
(or if you owned the Mac version, and now you have a Windows computer)

In both cases, you would purchase from the "Upgrade from 2018 or earlier or crossgrade" row here for a new Mac version, or here if you want the newest Windows version. Just need to upgrade your 2019 version? Use the "Upgrade from 2019/2020" row.

When you purchase your upgrade from either of these rows, you will receive a complete installation - just follow the steps of the setup, and your Band-in-a-Box® will be ready to use!

PG Music Inc. shopping cart accounts were not required to purchase from our website prior to October 29, 2014. With that in mind, you may have to create an account in order to upgrade - that's OK! You'll still be entitled to upgrade pricing.
