Hi All,

Here's a simple little song about endings and beginnings...

This is called [Link no longer valid]

The forecast calls for permanent rain
And through the foggy glass I can see
Muddy footprints are what remain
So close the doors and lock your home
And gather up all the broken bones

The sounds tonight outside my window
Are whispering so quietly
Those voices have a haunted glow
A wicked shadow I cannot condone
Trying to cover all the broken bones

I was paid a visit by two angels
They kinda resembled you and me
One carried a box of silver bells
The other dragged a bag of stones
Collected with all the broken bones

The visionary soapbox preacher
Walking both sides of the street
Didn't see what was beneath her
Yellow tape and a danger zone
Tumbled in with all the broken bones

Pay the ghost and clear the loan
Time to bury all the broken bones
Time to bury all the broken bones

Bob,

Unmistakeably Robert Dean. Lyrics that get deeper as the song goes ( love the verse about the angels visit!) and a nothing more to add arrangement.
Another excellent song!

Yes, Robert pretty much summed it up for me. You have such a distinctive style, and the writing is always top notch.

Excellent!

Cool song. You come up with more ways to write a break up song than anyone I know. You're like the Charles Dickens of break up songs. Nice production too.

Nice!

Your arrangement is excellent, and vocals fitting - as always - but it's the lyrics that carry the song, and you again show an knack for words that are both poetic and tell a compelling story.

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

Excellent lyrics Bob, I found it created a very real picture and mood. Vocal delivery was just right and all superbly arranged and engineered. A winner.

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."
