There's not much left to say.
Your statement about how music affects the five senses is thought provoking. The touching documentary on Glen Campbell's last performances so well reinforces this.
As always with your productions the performances, the arrangement and the mix are bar setting high.
This is a lovely and moving tribute to your lost friend and may he rest in peace.
J&B

So sorry for your loss Steve. I've lost some people recently and will probably lose my mom in 2017. It hurts. This song is absolutely beautiful, my favorite of so many wonderful songs you have posted. It is powerful and brilliant, a forum hall of famer for sure!!! Take care. Greg

Steve,
Man this is so beautiful! That subtle silence/pause just before the chorus does wonders to the song.
The chord progression of the chorus itself is super.
And then of course your voice. Beautiful as ever!
I'm very sorry for the loss of your friend.
Rob Thanks so much, Rob. I wanted the two chord transition/pause into the chorus to build just enough musical tension to draw you into the chorus. Glad you like it. Sorry for your loss Stephen. Loved this song. Super lyric and heartfelt vocal. Well done.. Thank you, Scott! Really appreciate your words so much. Glad you like this one. Steve,
So sorry for your loss.
This song is one of the most beautiful writes I've heard in a long, long time. Brought to mind the songs that come from a collaboration between Mike Reid and Allen Shamblin - as good as it gets.
Your productions and vocals are always top notch - but this might beat them all in both regards.
WOW.
floyd
Floyd, thanks so much! You really made my day with your comments. To be even compared to Mike Reid and Allen Shamblin is the ultimate compliment in my book. I Can't Make You Love Me is one of the greatest songs ever written, in my opinion. (I'll bet Bonnie Raitt would agree with that opinion.)  I take your comments very seriously, as I really look up to you as one of our "heros" (among many) on this forum. You continue to elevate the power and relevancy of Band In A Box by the quality of your work that you present here. Thank you! ==== Steve

urs Hugh Thanks, Hugh2! Your thoughts are very appreciated. Steve, I can't say enough about this one. The feel of this moves me. I am certain that you could feel it as well.

Beautiful and touching. Fantastic chorus.
Love the clarity.

Steve,
Sorry for your loss, but it's only temporary. This is exquisite.
Need more information!
"With the posts, please provide:
Link to the song (it is not hosted on our site, it is hosted on your site).
Title and background information about the song.
Indicate which tracks were recorded by you, and which tracks were generated by Band-in-a-Box or RealBand.
If Band-in-a-Box or RealBand have been used, please provide information as to which styles or RealTracks were used. (tip: In Band-in-a-Box, the Song Memo contains the names of the RealTracks used, and you can copy/paste from that.)
List other programs used in the production (Sonar, Cubase etc.)
Describe what effects were used in the production (reverb, auto-tune etc).
Please limit the threads on this forum to the User Showcase postings. Off-topic threads will be moved to the off-topic forum."
Regards,
Bob Thanks, Bob! I thought I included all that in my post to introduce the song. I'll go back and re-read it to see if I left anything out. Thanks again for taking the time to listen and comment. Always so good to hear from you! So powerful, but at the same time also relaxing and beautiful, I really like the chord progression and your vocal. Very nice details in the arrangement, especially the acoustic guitar and cello. The power of music is deeply present.
Janne Thanks so much, Janne! Much appreciated! Hi,Steve !
This tune conveys your
big loss profoundly !
Accept my condolences also !
Take care, Steve !
This is so very, very
beautiful !!
Dani
Thank you, Dani! It's always good to hear from you. Thanks for your kind thoughts and words! Glad you like this one. ==== Steve

Steve, I am choosing my words very carefully here in this comment. This is without a doubt one of the greatest songs (if not the greatest) ever posted on this forum that I have heard! I know that's a strong statement, but I feel it's justified! It's such a paradox to think how it sometimes takes something so sad to give birth to such a beautiful thing (song in this case). I could hear in your voice the pain involved in the performance of the song. You have written a very special message here that I believe will speak to people many years from now! This one is perfect and please don't change a thing with it! Thanks for sharing and may you be strengthened in God's love! Torrey

Thank you to all of you who have said such nice things to me about this song. This one has a special meaning to me, and I so appreciate all of your kindness! Thanks Cuz (Tommyc) for "resurrecting" this one. I have been out of pocket so much the past few months due to work and dealing with the loss of a few friends and loved ones the past several months.
Torrey, your words are very encouraging, and humbling. Again, thank you to all of you! This forum is very much like a family to me! God's blessings to all of you!

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."
