Such a beautifully ethereal sound in this song. Great lyrics. I especially like this quatrain: all the rainbow ribbons momma fastened through her hair Jenny keeps with daddy`s laugh like braids through despair
Nicely done!

Very powerful Robert!! Very dark! Music creates the perfect mood. Good arrangement and vocal. Well done!! Take care. Greg Greg, Thanks for the positive comments... to me its a song about a survivor ( "the healing sound of time") so its not all dark! Excellent song Robert. I figured to myself a final as Dire Strait's "Brothers in Arm" and a more long fading out ending.
Surely one of your best.
Sergio
Thank you, Sergio! I`ll have to listen to that Dire Straights ending- been a long time. Robert

This is one hell of a great song! Dark and sad, well written, perfect instrumentation and some great vocals.
Poetry so beautifully to music!
This your best to date IMHO.
Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up. Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

I agree with all the prior posters - great song, well done - vocals, arrangement, mix: all good. But... I'll confess that if you hadn't said the song was about family violence, I wouldn't have been able to figure it out myself. The arc of the story is clear - trauma, with hope at the end. It's just specifics which are fuzzy. For example, is red supposed to refer to blood (which is salty), rage (the fire/water analogy), something else, or all the above? Sometimes I'm just too darned literal when listening to lyrics, and miss the forest for the trees. Since you said you were trying to paint the broad outlines without specifics, you've succeeded in spades! (No, I'm not being sarcastic). Nicely done.

Everything about this product brings to mind one word: Powerful.
One of our favorite Americana productions that has been posted here.
We like David's alliteration, "poignant and poetic."
We are reminded of an impressionistic tapestry unfolding...again, powerful.
And the build with the chorus changes is very effective.
Wonderful!

Dark but beautiful...
Shades of Simon and Garfunkel... Nicely done! I think Jim summed it up pretty good with just a few words. I fully agree with the S & G analogy. Excellent work on this. You do these sad folk songs so dang good! Excellent! Alan Thank you, Alan! Robert

Kenny Kenny, I appreciate that. I had this all done and then realized it was too busy at the start -glad I simplified the instrumentation . a beautiful and sad write here Robert, so good, emotions are established from the truth of the song. Cliff Thank you Cliff! This is one hell of a great song! Dark and sad, well written, perfect instrumentation and some great vocals.
Poetry so beautifully to music!
This your best to date IMHO. Mario, That`s very kind -thanks for your listen and comments. I agree with all the prior posters - great song, well done - vocals, arrangement, mix: all good. But... I'll confess that if you hadn't said the song was about family violence, I wouldn't have been able to figure it out myself. The arc of the story is clear - trauma, with hope at the end.

Sometimes I'm just too darned literal when listening to lyrics, and miss the forest for the trees. Since you said you were trying to paint the broad outlines without specifics, you've succeeded in spades! (No, I'm not being sarcastic). Nicely done. David, In describing how you didn`t get some meanings " For example, is red supposed to refer to blood (which is salty), rage (the fire/water analogy), something else, or all the above?" seems to me you`ve demonstrated that you REALLY understood! And, yes, all the above meanings intended. Green will always mean sour to me `cos of all the crab apples I munched on as a kid-the senses get mixed up in our memories. Thank you for listening so closely and taking the time to comment. Robert

This is a very emotionally sad story. You have captured the feeling of despair with your vocals and background tracks. Nicely produce, Tom

Robert,
You must be truly a bard. You always give a song really suitable for lyrics and express it with emotion richly. This song is no exception and it is powerful. Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.

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."
