Hi all,
Here's a french song about the passage of time and the possibility to stop it with poetic writing.
Lyrics are not easy to translate. Christian

1) Perché sur le dos d'un flamant,
j'ai vu passer un garnement
qui jouait à gober le vent,
à traverser les nuages blancs.
Sur un morceau de papier blanc,
j'étale des mots, des sentiments.
Je m'amuse à narguer le temps,
en le figeant, juste en rêvant.

2) Les nuages blancs se sont percés
et les gouttes se sont déversées.
L'enfant joue à s'éclabousser
dans les flaques qui se sont formées.
Sur mon morceau de papier blanc,
les lettres ont plu abondamment.
Elles ont plu à mon âme d'enfant
qui s'est souv'nu de ses dix ans.

3) Le garçon est rentré chez lui,
le corps trempé, le cœur ravi,
se jurant d' revenir ici
pour assouvir ses folles envies.
Sur un morceau de papier blanc,
un autre jour demain m'attend.
J'irai encore narguer le temps,
en le figeant, juste en rêvant.

Thanks Will !
I've tried to translate the lyrics......

Taunting time

1) On the back of a flamingo,
I saw a kid
who was playing to swallow the wind,
to cross the white clouds.
On a sheet of white paper,
I write words and feelings.
I have fun taunting time,
by freezing it, just dreaming.

2) White clouds have been drilled
and it has rained.
The child plays to splash
in the puddles.
On a sheet of white paper,
the letters rained abundantly.
My child's soul was pleased
to remember when I was ten years old.

3) The boy went home,
his wet body and his light heart,
swearing to come back here
to satisfy his crazy cravings.
On a sheet of white paper,
another day tomorrow is waiting for me.
I will have fun taunting time,
by freezing it, just dreaming.

Chris,

Nice chanson!
The fragrance of French pops in the early 70 's drifts.
I do not remember the names of the singers anymore, but at that time I often listened to French pops.
It is different from your usual style.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

As Shigeki said it is different from your usual songs. But different in a good way!

We enjoyed it!

That was a pleasant listen, even with no real clue what was being sung. Nice singing, clear arrangement.

Well done!

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

That's very nice...a little de-essing of the vocals would be good but not essential.
Always well constructed Chris - always.


Cheers

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."
