Another song written as part of the 50 90 song writing challenge. Something a little different for me. Wonderful lyrics written by Liz Petty. Comments as always are appreciated.

Lyrics:
V1 every stone tells a story every pebble holds a poem every cloud gives a dreamer reason for thoughts to roam
Every color of a rainbow And every ray of the sun can teach us something if we stop.... instead of run...
C so stop and smell the roses on every journey you are on and listen.... listen closely listen closely
V2 every lake knows a secret every river sings along every star gives a lover reason for hearts beating strong
Every petal of a flower and every blade of grass can teach us something if we stop... don't go quickly past...
C so stop and smell the roses on every journey you are on and listen..... listen closely and listen..... listen closely
to hear the muse's song yes listen....

Wow, what a pretty tune Joanne Your vocal delivery on this is stunning! I really liked the lyrics too - they're almost poetic, so props to Liz for that!
Thanks so much for sharing - you should be proud of this one
Joanne, I very much enjoyed the production on this song. The lyrics have a poetic 60`s folk feel that you made dynamic on the chorus with those handclaps and the mandolin. Your wonderful vocals and harmonies add the tingle we`ve come to expect!
Deryk, Scott, Robert, Rob, kenny and Bob. Thanks so much for giving "Smell the rose" a listen. I must say that I am not too sure about it. I tried to recreate "Ophelia" by the Lumineers for a synch opportunity but I am not sure that I succeeded. They guy who does my final mixing and production said he wasnt sure about it either (didnt like the drums and I think I agree with him).
So your encouragement is appreciated.

I enjoyed this one a lot Joanne. Stellar production and vocal performance. I do agree from a syncing opportunity, the drums (beat) could be improved but only from that perspective.
From all other perspectives, this is a good, strong, well written and produced piece.
What a wonderful song. The melody is simple and beautiful. Your vocal is moderate and attractive. I also like the lyrics. I enjoyed my listening very much.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.
Update your Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows® Today!
Update your Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows for free with build 1111!
With this update, there's more control when saving images from the Print Preview window, we've added defaults to the MultiPicker for sorting and font size, updated printing options, updated RealTracks and other content, and addressed user-reported issues with the StylePicker, MIDI Soloists, key signature changes, and more!
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."
