"turn it up
burn it down"

That's worth the price of admission alone!

The lyric is succinct and just cuts through it all. And it is well delivered by your vocal performance and supported by a great band and mix (very effective builds and dynamics).

Nothing left to say other than we agree with ALL of the aforementioned accolades.

Terrific listen and addition to our playlist.

J&B

cool tune.

The bass was booming on my computer a bit. Might want to tame it. Since no one else has mentioned it, it might just be these crappy speakers.

I'll listen later on my buds.

Yeah that has a Lou Reed kind of feel.... mixed with Dylan.

I liked it.

A good write... I also enjoyed the chord progression you chose... It fits the lyrics so well... I actually picked up the acoustic & strummed along... Nice production... I like it!

Great sounding track Bob!! The bass may be a little loud....my headphones handle it well but it definitely resonates. The arrangement is awesome.......great build of the instruments. I think the band is PERFECT. Some really cool lyrics. Definitely one for your greatest hits album!! Take care. Greg

Very nice song as usual. The starting chords remind me to Donovan's song "Atlantis" but here there is more rockin' energy.

"rsdean"...

You write lyrics like someone who only comes outside at night (not literally, of course!), but in the sense that if they were exposed to the light of day, their meaning would be too much to bear. There are thoughts and feelings that simply must be communicated under the cover of darkness, because they're so intimate, and so personally revelatory. Isn't that the reason why our lovemaking so often takes place after the sun goes down?

The RealTracks provide a depth of musical empathy necessary to illuminate the drama in your anxious lyrics as they come out in your aching vocal. That held acoustic bass, in particular, is so deep and resonant that it sounds bottomless.

You create your own, unique world in your songs, "rsdean". "Light It Up" shows us another corner of it.

Peering into your reality,

LOREN

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.

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."
