Peter,
Great take on this - love the vocal delivery and arrangement. The guitar at the songs end is tremendous.
Loved it!

Peter,
This is excellent!
GREAT use of this lyric - in every aspect. The spoken verse had a "Rod McKuen feel". The chorus worked well after that. The bridge was really well done - the changes there were unexpected and super! Nice outro..
Excellent in every way.
floyd floyd, Thanks for the very positive review.(Glad you liked the little diminished thing in the bridge. Peter

Peter,
Let me join the chorus and say, this is indeed excellent!
Your take on Joanne's lyrics is very creative and superbly effective. I really enjoyed listening to the spoken sections. They provided a great contrast.
Definitely a work to be proud of!
All the best, Noel I think Noel's comments express what I felt as I listened. The guitar outro was spot on. Super job! Alan

Very good use of sprechstimme to build the drama.
I am using the new 1040XTRAEZ form this year. It has just 2 lines.

Great take on the song Peter! Speaking the lyric works really well! The guitar starting at 2:18 really finishes the tune nicely! Thanks, Torrey

The drama on this one is insane in a good way (tactfully done; gives it a good flow). You guys have been doing such a great job of putting your own twists on Joanne's lyrics. I also really enjoyed the spoken word component of this version! Great job.

Different and welcome approach to the lyrics. Kind of Mark Knopfler sound in your voice, both spoken and sung... or did I say that already in my 'The Hard Way' comment . The piano really lifts this to the heights. I would have put down the organ a little. Lovely peaceful guitar at the end. Janne Thanks Janne - appreciate those comments. Peter

Love the contrast between the spoken word and the vocal.
Great set of lyrics from Joanne.
Love the tasty, emotive guitar work too. Over too soon for my tastes, you could have extended that a bit.
Excellent track, well done!! Dave Thanks - I do have a longer version - (one for the special edition CD!)

floyd What he said! We get the McKeuen feel. Used to read a lot of him back in the day - well Bud did -- Janice was a child But then the Knopler feel is there also. The lyric, upon refection, is perfect for the spoken verse and set up the chorus really well. We agree with Dave that more of the guitar work would've been great. The spoken word, the lead singing and the harmony all really nails the entire feel of the song and well expresses the lyric. Excellent Kudos!!!!!! J&B Janice/Bud Thanks for those encouraging words. Really appreciate them. Peter

Peter, Very laid back... on the surface: we get to feel the tension in the lyrics through understatement. I love the simple arrangement. An original and very enjoyable take on the song!
Robert Thanks Robert Peter

Interesting tune Peter! You did some really cool music here!! Just listened to Janne.....amazing how different the song is with different melodies. Yours is more mysterious (I hear some Dire Straights here) and his is more ethereal. Nice job!! Take care. Greg

Hello, Peter
Heavy sound! Dramatic! I am surprised at the difference with my version. It is very interesting that the contrast between the spoken word and the vocal. 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."
