Hi all this is a typical break up song. Really like this style.
Rayc has been helping me through my De-essing issues and I think this track sounds better.
All comment welcome.

[Link no longer valid]


It aint easy when its time to say goodbye.
You look unsettled as tears well in your eyes.

I know its painful but its the best thing to do
You know I'll always have affection for you.

Chorus
Ive traveled loves highway.
Ive been robbed on the bye way.
I want to spend one last moment a moment with you.

Bridge

Chorus
Ive traveled loves highway.
Ive been robbed on the bye way.
I want to spend one last moment a moment with you.


A small memento of this moment in time.
Just keep on moving on I know you'll be fine.

Raise your head up like I know you can do.
There are good times just for you.

Chorus
Ive traveled loves highway.
Ive been robbed on the bye way.
I want to spend one last moment moment with you.

Hi Bob,

Early this morning, I noticed you had a new post on SoundCloud.
Before knowing I was listening to 'Loves Highway'.
That is a nice way of wakening, Bob!

And you also revealed a secret to me: you have s-problems!
I never thought that could be possible with your kind of voice.
But it's always good to know you have RayC to help you out of it.
You both did a great job creating this song (as it sounds).

Bye,
Hans

Very enjoyable listen. It's well written and performed. The piano track was just right for the song and it would be interesting to know if you used a RT or Super midi.

This is a really lovely tune - really warm, sincere, and heartfelt smile I really liked the gentle sway throughout it, and thought your rustic vocal performance added a lot of character as well.

A solid write, and nicely catchy tune - thanks for sharing!

Hi Rob ...

Love that smooth voice of yours! Real nice song and delivered in your typical excellent way. Great job ... B/G vocals were sweet! Also, I liked the bit of reverb on the piano riff ... that was nice! Just enough to be noticed, not enough to be distracting.

As always, excellent performance. Wishing you the best ...

Alan

This is a fine "longing" song.

And that feel is well supported by the vocals, lyric and arrangement. All working in the pocket to deliver that feel.

Yes, as many say, your voice is smooth but it also that an edge that makes the heartfelt emotion cut through.

Nice!

Very enjoyable vocals and harmonies, feels like a song for which Elvis has made a comeback smile The simple arrangement and airy mix support the longing very nicely.

You've touched on separation and loss before

maybe you've lived thru this painful part of life

it certainly has that sincerity

This is fantastic! As already been said your vocals are top shelf, as is your backing tracks. You did an excellent job on the mix.


Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up.

A very bitter-sweet piece. Youe vocals carry the sadness of the occasion. Backing is solid and mix sounds good to me.

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."
