I was kind of in a Beatles mood when I wrote this a couple of days ago. Hope somebody enjoys it

Isabel Words and music by Torrey Bliss copyright 2017 BMI
You never could imagine You were the center of attraction To me you were a queen
Then we ended up together With a love to last forever But lately I have seen
That there's a longing in your eyes Telling what your voice denies
Isabel you'd never leave me But you never tell me that you need me You have learned to hide your feelings oh so well You have a dream that you must follow Of a fairytale promised tomorrow You hope it will come true but only time will tell
You said you couldn't help but wonder What's left to be discovered If you could just be yourself
You’ve given more than taken Now you've been awakened To desires you've never felt
What could I do to keep your love Oh would it ever be enough

Torrey,
This is outstanding. The sound, your singing, your melody, your lyrics, everything, they're all superb.
When I opened the thread, I immediately clicked on the Soundcloud link. I do this because I always like listening to songs without any preconceived ideas that often find their way into my thinking if I read the back story beforehand. I always read what the composer has written after I hear the song.
Because of my above process, I had no idea that this was conceived in a 'The Beatles' frame of mind and, as I sat listening, I kept thinking thoughts like: "This sounds just like it's one of The Beatles songs"; "He's really captured The Beatles sound, their arrangement style, their melody and chords really, really well"; "definitely The Beatles"; etc.
Then, after listening, when I returned and read what you'd written, I discovered your reference to The Beatles. I have to say, you channelled them incredibly well! You've captured the musical flavour of this iconic group perfectly! Outstanding.
I thoroughly enjoyed your track... start to end.
All the best, Noel

Torrey, The intro threw me until I read your Beatles inspiration - its clever and the drums coming in are totally Ringo! The whole idea is followed through extremely well and the arrangement has polish - can`t think of a better word, its so well crafted. Your voice sounds different on this song, but then the whole sound is unlike anything I`ve heard from you before. I almost forgot to say -the song is very catchy! Well done.
Robert

Hi Torrey,
Everybody has already said what I was thinking. But I'll repeat some of it as it's deserved.
Perfect channeling of the Beatles. Sounds like something from their 1964-1965 era. Everything about this is so danged good. What a treat! You never fail to amaze me with your productions. Love the tempo change and near acapella about 2/3 through. Fantastic work!

To me, it has a strange sort of Bowie like vocal and a Genesis feel. Certainly UK 70's. Lou Reed? Most enjoyable.

Absolutely excellent work.
Yes, Beatles influence, but also Freddy Mercury could be in there somewhere.
The vocal quality is sensational, and has assisted to lift the production to a very high standard.
Not a weak link anywhere.
Most enjoyable, yes, absolutely.

WOW! Torrey...
This is STUNNINGLY good! An extraordinary piece of writing - lyrically and (especially) musically.
The arrangement and production are absolutely Top Notch. And the vocals are every bit a match for that...
You must have spent considerable time getting the drums to do those long fills? Incredibly well done!
This is one of the best pieces that have ever been presented here (and that is saying a lot!)
A truly GREAT listen!!!
A big ZOWIE.

Torrey I’m currently on holidays in the US (looking forward to a Maine lobster tonight) so not ideal for listening on poor wifi on the iPad but given the reaction I had to listen. Truly amazing stuff. The Brian May guitar sound was superb as was the whole composition. Excellent work.

back again, had to hear it a few more times
if we had a hall of fame for songs posted here,
this should go in immediately
it's a super recording of a tremendously good song
on todays listen I hear the drum sounds of Ringo on
early John Lennon solo career songs - powerful.
I still hear Jeff Lynne doing his Lennon voice
I love this kind of song and sound so much
thanks for sharing with us
Kenny

This has really classic pop rock sound, melody and chording. A 60's and 70's type of song somewhere between the Beatles-ELO-Squeeze. The mixing of drums is fantastic and vocals are great, cool guitar playing. Song to be played loud Janne

Hey Torrey very cool intro. The beat at the first was very interesting. Loved when you jumped into the first lyric. Super vocal. Excellent job. Guitars were superb

Yep, Brian May meets the Beatles!
It's all been said.
This is a keeper.
Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up. Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

I especially appreciated the dynamics, if that is the right word. The music moves, goes someplace, bobs and weaves, riveting.

Well Torrey, not being a big fan of rock music ever and being the Beatles the ones I really cared back then I sure dig this song. Very well put together and definitely with huge Brit sound to it.

Wow Torrey. This is a real retro Beatles meet ELO tune. Really sounds like George Harrison to me. I would be so proud of this. Great production and performance. Rob

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."
