First song of 2018. Happy Year Year y'all.

Come Set Me Free
By David Snyder

V1

What if the universe was only just a day
Would we still choose to spend our time this way
I know that this is not what we were meant to be
We cannot let this world control our destiny

CH

Oh Innocence come set me free, come set me free
And show me what true love can really mean

V2

If we were strong we would stand up against these walls
I know our dreams can’t really be this small
I know that this is not what we were meant to be
We were supposed to love even our enemies

CH

Oh Innocence come set me free, come set me free
And show me what true love can really mean

Bridge

Midnight worries won’t you flee
To morning bright and fair
I miss the beauty of the truth
And the sunlight in her hair

CH

Oh Innocence come set me free, come set me free
And show me what true love can really mean
Like ocean winds wake up the trees, wake up the trees
Like morning comes up a fragile breeze

Oh innocence come set me free
Oh innocence come set me free
Oh innocence come set me free

The sound of the 80's in the 2018's.

This is really good. Love the vibe in this one. Super vocals and backing tracks with outstanding lyrics.

Great job on this one.


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.

David,

A different and cool sound to begin the year. I really enjoyed the synth swirling behind your vocals and the positive message... oh, and the nod to one of my favourite singers!

Great lyrics, and a little Steve Winwood influence goes a long way. (I saw him in concert a few years ago, awesome!)

Strong song to start off the year, David!

“If we were strong we would stand up against these walls
I know our dreams can’t really be this small
I know that this is not what we were meant to be

Stronger than a garlic milkshake!

Lots to ponder Mr Snyder and wrapped in a cool production.

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."
