When The Impact Has Worn Off Here is something bit funkier this time, I tried to catch the mood of Prince's more rock oriented hits. Unfortunately my voice is not strong enough for this song and some parts were too challenging for my tongue, but I hope you can overlook these small issues On a local musician forum there was a contest for songs related to mental health. I actually won that competition, but not with this song. The subject gave me ideas for other songs, and this one was also inspired by that subject. The message of this song could be that woman is a drug you can't be weaned off, after you have mistakenly tasted it. RealDrums: BluesRockEv Loop: Funk16ths_SyncSnareRide RealTracks: Electric bass #2607 Electric piano #2526 Electric guitar #1718, #1719, #2158, #2757, #1651 (solo) Acoustic guitar #3060 Horn Section #2348 Organ #2619 Vocals: Janne S Mixed in Cakewalk for Bandlab Lyrics: When the impact has worn off and the daze is gone in the nooks of my body the symptoms remain to live on I'm groping with my fingers for a medicine case I can merely touch dusty crannies of my space. Just a while ago I felt colors in the spotlight now I'm crawling on the carpet in the grey of the lone night Just a while ago euphoria raised me higher now I am sweating, trembling I just can't give up on desire. When the impact... I went to see a doctor asking for a new prescription he said he can't enrupture blissful addiction. I searched for happiness through alleys very shady but every dealer of the flush looked like a heartbroken lady. When the impact... I spent hazy seasons in some mental institution I felt the shocks of treatment mind's electrocution. But memories got stronger teeth on the gag still braving lobotomy can't remove the traces of the serotonin craving. When the impact... On the waves of the Cuban seas my pill of happiness is surfing for joy it didn't promise to return to me dissolving in the lap of a Latin lover boy It shivers still on my loins that sweet excitement the flavor whose substitutes cloy. ----------------------- Janne

Nice one, Janne.
Good groove. The bass is cool. Nice use of the horns, too. Organ is nicely used, too. Cool guitar solo.
A good listen. Funky and fun.

At first, and this is not surprising of course, this had a nice Per Gessle ring to it. But it wouldn't be a Janne song if a completely unexpected twist wouldn't come up Pro sounding, that's for sure! Rob and Anne-Marie

A cool vibe - overall sounds like Ian Dury & the Blockheads. There's some MASSIVE essing on your voice in places that is almost painful in headphones. I can empathize re the difficulty of singing generally and wordy lyrics in particular. You've made a good demo of the vocal anyway - it'd be cool to get them sorted.

Janne.. I especially liked your arrangement with the horns, organ, etc..I liked the stops, the solos, etc...very well mixed in to the fun..very creative lyric choices, as well as the analogy. You are a champion of going into very unexpected topics for your songs!

Thanks Ray for your kind feedback Ian Dury, wow I agree about essing. I should first learn to pronounce my esses correctly, then use Melodyne better and always remember to handle the consonants properly. And then use de-esser, I have tried Sonar's vocal strip, but let's see if the Nectar 3, which I have just purchased, is better. Janne

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."
