Hi all. This song was written for songtradr. They wanted a song that mentioned spring flowers and blooms. I thought I would contrast spring with death and renewal.I also wanted to evoke emotion. In the end I wasn't successful. This is a step away from my normal write. All comments and suggestions welcome. Rob

What Love Brings



Daddy bought some roses in the spring of 65 and laid them at the head of Mamma's grave.

She'd been fighting off the cancer on a Saturday she died.
It was a sorry thing to end that way.

I feel the spring time breezes as they warmed the bitter air.
Apple blossoms float around and seem so unaware.

Rays of light creep through the trees and warmed my ailing heart.
Ive been hoping for the spring and what love brings.

I really like the songs made with this style, especially the acoustic guitar #2914 fits nicely your peaceful melodic ballad. Great performance and lyrics, I can feel the spring time breeze here also smile

Rob,

This is nice. Haven't heard you do anything like this before.

A good write. Really nice arrangement - works well for the song and its subject matter. Good mix.

Your vocal is really nice - emotional.

Well done.

Most different indeed but the contrast, as you mentioned, is really well done. There is assuredly a "heavy" feel to it but the hints of renewal are most effective.

Very creative and, as always, well performed.

Rob,
I guess you meant you weren`t successful with Songtradr- you certainly were in evoking emotion...there`s sadness in both lyrics and your vocal.
I enjoyed this reflective side of your music.
Well done on the production too.

Good one Rob.

Love the lyrics and your vocal suits perfectly.
A touch of early Johnny Cash in this one.
Thumbs up from here.

Cheers.

Wow - what a powerful tune smile Your vocal delivery and the lyrics are flawlessly executed here. It is incredibly sad, but I love how raw and emotional it is. The tune almost has a dream-like quality to it as well, I found.

Great work on this - thanks so much for sharing!


Cheers,

Nice one Rob. It reminds me a little of Gordon Lightfoot. Excellent writing and vocal. I enjoyed my listen, Tom

Nice. I enjoy all your work, but I think you should do some more of this style. It does suit you well. I agree with Tom, there is a little Gordon Lightfoot in this, and that's a good thing. I like this one.

Hello, Rob

A beautiful melody reminiscent of Simon and Garfunkel's "Feelin' Gloovy" is wonderful.
Unlike usual rock and roll style, your fork style song is also very nice.
Your vocal is really comfortable us usual.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

Different than what I'm used to hearing from you, but very good.

I see both Tom and Steve mentioned Gordon Lightfoot, I'm hearing a bit of that too, both in the write and the vocal.

Nice arrangement too and the mix sounds good.

Good song, enjoyed the listen!

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.
