Just For One Day

Simple and happy song this time, another one fitting Miira's voice nicely. The chorus melody sounds bit familiar to me, but I haven't figured out what it could be, maybe you can enlighten me, or tell me that my song is original enough smile Comments welcome as always smile

Lyrics:

Why am I doing this to myself?
Why do I keep coming here once again?
Stuck in routines in this bad job
I keep on turning this tedious knob.

Cut my chains, shake me babe
just for one day
show me there is another world
no barriers blocking on the way.
like playful cubs
let's fool around
make me feel
like I'm not bound
just for one day
then back to my old life
back to decay
but a smile on my face.

Why am I doing this to myself?
why am I bending to your will again?
stuck in your grip in this wedlock
from breakfast to bedtime I live by your clock.

[Chorus]

Let's defy the laws and gods' will
just for one day out of standstill
life rollercoaster up and downhill
on our glory day.
Through the walls, the blaze of fire
unrestrained rising higher
"no contracts" sings an angel choir
just for one day
for one day.

Why am I doing this to myself?
why am I hooked again and again?
stuck like an addict in bad habits
junk food and booze no means to quit.

[Chorus]

----------

Wow, you nailed this! Right from the first few bars, it's really attention-grabbing. I loved the groove, and found it pleasantly catchy smile I really enjoyed how the lyrics paint a picture too.

Thanks so much for sharing!

Very nice lyric, arrangement and vocals -- the whole package works well.

The mix sounds really good on our monitors.

Like Deryk said "right from the first few bars it's really attention getting."

Kudos!!

I enjoyed this uptempo country rocker - a very nice choice of RT`s (and the handclaps!).
I don`t know about the chorus, but the verses reminded me of Richard Thompson`s Back Street Slide.
Well done.

Excellent delivery from every angle.

I really liked the driving beat you've managed to capture, and the choice of resonator guitar sits so well in the mix.

Miira's vocals are superb.

Great job, no question.

Thanks Robert for commenting and enjoying smile The song you mentioned is new to me but yes, I can hear some resemblance in the rhythm of the verse melody in the Thompson's song.

Hello, Janne

A very fun song!
Mira's vocal is wonderful.
The chord progression that is not normally used in country songs is properly used, and that is very interesting.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

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."
