#521616 - 01/31/19 09:12 AM [User Showcase] Take Me Home
Registered: 09/02/18 Posts: 1445 Loc: Virginia USA Ezekiel's Storm Expert Registered: 09/02/18 Posts: 1445 Loc: Virginia USA	Take Me Home This song has a splash of snarkiness and a dash of romance. Maybe I should title it "Flippant Introvert in Love." I consider this track a throwaway song, but my 13-year-old daughter likes it, so I recorded it.

I don’t want to be found ‘Cause I just want to know you I just want to grow old with you I think I told you Take me home You know my dreams always die And I’m alone left to lie Awake reviving you Whenever I hold you, my heart starts raging While everyone around me seems to be aging Whenever I kiss you, the world stands still Whenever I promise, you know I will ‘Cause I just want to know you I just want to grow old with you I think I told you Take me home

Thanks for taking the time to post it so we can listen. I think Flippant Introvert in Love is a good alternate title! Made me chuckle. _________________________ Cheers, Ember

I should probably add to my description that the song is not gender specific. I originally was writing as a female persona, but then realized the song works both ways, and is a bit more humorous with a male voice. Edited by Ezekiel's Storm (01/31/19 09:56 AM)

Good clear vocal. I like the way you brought in the solo acoustic guitar. Throw away? How often has that been the comment from writers of some of the biggest hits in music... plus the approval of a family member on your creations is always to be cherished! Robert

Your 13 year old fan must have heard the same merits the rest of us in your fan club hear... Nice lyrics, great vocal, & production... I enjoyed it. _________________________ Jim †=☮&♥

The melody has a great hook, the vocals are just so easy to listen to, and lyrically, this is so well written. The voice-overs give richness and depth.

Band-in-a-Box® - Boxing Clever - Sound on Sound #TBT

Did you know that Band-in-a-Box® is more than 30 years old? I stumbled across this 1990 magazine article explaining the relatively new program, and think it's an enjoyable read for any Band-in-a-Box user - it really shows that we are always listening to user feedback when developing our program!

Read the article: Boxing Clever: Band-In-A-Box Software

A few of my favorite statements:

"The intention of PG Music's Band-In-A-Box package is to couple that speed and convenience with the improved flexibility of the personal computer. Versions are available for the Atari ST, Mac, and PC compatibles. Have the programmers succeeded? And can they rid themselves of the stigma of the auto-accompaniment section? Given the above state of affairs, the first hurdle that the program has to overcome is one of acceptance and, frankly, a name like 'Band-In-A-Box' is a bad start."

(I think our name was a great start!)

"The final results are, to say the least, impressive. Band-In-A-Box achieves something that most hardwired auto-accompaniment sections have never been able to do - inject a degree of feel into the music. It really does sound more human than so many of the computer generated pieces I've heard."

"...I'm quite convinced that PG Music will have a winner on their hands. This is one piece of software that you can get more out of than you put in."
