You two make some of the finest music on this forum. The sparse backing tracks is perfect for this. Rob, your vocal is so danged good! Everything about this is special - the lyric, the music, the vocal, the band, the vocal - everything.
Very delicate and still with the pop sensibility you always bring. I really enjoyed the melody, particularly on the chorus, and your vocals are, as ever, faultless. The string arrangement is some nice icing on a very good arrangement.

Gosh, this is so pretty! Wonderful!

I agree and couldn't have said it any better.
You should be very proud of this one.

This song is so lovely! And I especially loved the video you put together. The vocals were also beautiful. I think you did a really good job, and you sure made that MIDI style sound pretty darn good! Thanks for sharing.
Rob and Anne-Marie..I love listening to your track! When I heard the first few bars, I was hoping that the introduction wouldn’t slip into an uninteresting vamp, but you took it off in a new direction and it remained fresh and interesting throughout. The production was excellent, and I loved hearing your voices together. This level of quality creative work really is inspiring!!
Wow - what a lovely tune The sincerity here is apparent within the first couple measures. It is perfectly catchy, and your vocal performance is superb and moving. That aside, the mixing job here is seriously top notch. It sounds really bright and really catches my ear.

Hello, Rob & Anne-Marie
Very beautiful music and video! Vocals are excellent as usual. You always use pretty unique chord progression, but this time it's pretty well and I like it. Starts with C, subdominant of Gmajor, moves parallel to Dmajor key, changes to Eminor and returns to Gmajor. The key changes very quickly, but it is very natural. Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Really pretty!! Has a haunting quality. My first (and really only) heartbreak is still used for inspiration in every song about relationship emotional pain......at least I got something out of that relationship. This is really a quality song and production. Your vocals and arrangement/mix always impress me! Take care. Greg
I confess I did not watch the video, I just wanted to hear the music. Nothing personal, I do that on lots of videos. So forgive me, I'm sure it's wonderful based on the past ones I've watched.
The vocals on this are so beautiful when you go up into the so pretty part it's wonderful. Then when Anne-Marie comes in there with you - it's "so pretty" it's magical. I also liked the sparse musical arrangement.
Check out some of the latest Band-in-a-Box® feedback we've received:
"There's a saying 'Give a man a fish, feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, feed him for a lifetime.' That's exactly what my friend did in 1990. He taught me how to use BIAB and I've used it hundreds of time to do arraignment and to jam with any style band."
"Love BIAB. I use it daily. Their support is great too!"
"RealTracks are amazing!!! I use BIAB for backtracks in my solo act... Still using the basic package and it's all need..."
"I have used Band in A Box for many years. If it would have been around when I was young, I would have been a much better musician. I use it for all my songs I have written and recorded. With Band In A Box I can sit in my room and sound like a whole band without having to put up with them!"
"If you know something about music and take the time to learn the program, you can make it do some amazing things. It is a great help to songwriters who want to demo their song without paying for studio time. It makes changes and tweaks much easier as well."
"Been using it for so many years. It's a great tool. The instruments that I don't have or play make up the void and it saves so much time. I use this program for every song I write."
"Great tool for the songwriter!"
"An essential part of my studio! I write songs on piano, but I'm not a pianist by a long way. BIAB is like having a roomful of session players in your studio, and just the simple act of taking your basic idea and hearing a skilled pianist play it presents so many new ideas and options you hadn't thought of."
"Powerful, easy to use, inexpensive and they even split the modest payments up if you want. No complaints. Lots of satisfaction."
"I added a steel guitar to a fully produced original. He followed every change like he was in the studio reading the chart. Fascinating technology!"
"I have used it to make backing tracks for six CD's with about 12 songs on each. They make a great gift!"
"It's simply a necessity - buy it now - the staff and support do a great job as well!"
"A great tool for us songwriters!"
"I LOVE Band-in-a-Box!"
"I see it as a very worthwhile investment. In fact, from initial purchase about 8 years ago, using the backing tracks I have made, my income from that investment has returned over 5,000% on the investment!"
Band-in-a-Box® - Boxing Clever - Sound on Sound #TBT
Did you know that Band-in-a-Box® is more than 30 years old? I stumbled across this 1990 magazine article explaining the relatively new program, and think it's an enjoyable read for any Band-in-a-Box user - it really shows that we are always listening to user feedback when developing our program!
"The intention of PG Music's Band-In-A-Box package is to couple that speed and convenience with the improved flexibility of the personal computer. Versions are available for the Atari ST, Mac, and PC compatibles. Have the programmers succeeded? And can they rid themselves of the stigma of the auto-accompaniment section? Given the above state of affairs, the first hurdle that the program has to overcome is one of acceptance and, frankly, a name like 'Band-In-A-Box' is a bad start."
(I think our name was a great start!)
"The final results are, to say the least, impressive. Band-In-A-Box achieves something that most hardwired auto-accompaniment sections have never been able to do - inject a degree of feel into the music. It really does sound more human than so many of the computer generated pieces I've heard."
"...I'm quite convinced that PG Music will have a winner on their hands. This is one piece of software that you can get more out of than you put in."
