Hi all. This song is written from the point of view of someone in the depths of despair.
Sorry if its a little dark. All comments welcome. Rob
[Link no longer valid]
Oh my lord wont you look, and see if you can find me.
I'm caught between the devil and the deep blue sea and I been crying out.
I live my life as I saw fit consequences are apon me.
Oh my god been calling out please put my sins behind
I beg you please don't hide your face, coz I burnt all of my bridges.
I feel a weight coming down on me for I suffer for my decisions
my guilt may plea may be too late, to call apon your mercy.
I wash my hands in a flowing spring, as I been feeling so dirty
Bridge
The sinful man that I am, I don't deserve your sanctuary.
Now I've lost my integrity, My heart feels that its empty.
Please help me lord to turn around and always count my blessing.
I cry out now from deep inside please know that I'm repenting

Bob,
nice one but the bass is BOOOOMING and could be tamed by EQ or compression.
Perhaps you should offer this to Nick cave - it's his sort of darkness.
The violin sounds great - very Bad Seeds.
Nice structure around the instrumentation.
Cheers

Bob
A really powerful composition. An excellent feel and vocal - I like the overall sound (agree with Ray that it's a bit bass heavy - but sounds really good through my headphones).
Very impressive.

Hi Bob,
Powerful poignancy! You captured the musical moment perfectly as you described it in your narrative. Love the strong influence of the drums. This quite different from you usual posts. But also equally compelling to listen to. Great work!

Really well done all the way around! I really like how the style and tone of the piece perfectly fit the message that the lyrics carry. And the selection of the BIAB components all fit so nicely together.
As for the dark nature of the songs message, I guess now you’ll have to write a positive, upbeat song of redemption! Thanks for sharing your creative work!

I like the darkness to this song.
The bass is really in need of a low roll off.
Brighten the drums while you're at it.
I like the song.
You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

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."
