All the hallmarks of a Steve Young song...

Wonderful arrangement. Excellent production. Outstanding Vocals and Harmonies. Solid writing. Beautiful mix.

The opening and the drop are both really nice. The banjo is a nice addition.

Well done all around - as always. An excellent listen.

(looking forward to you being around more often!!)

Well, you sure were able to get 7/4 to stick on solid ground. I always look forward to your posts knowing they'll be top notch write, arrangement, production and performance. This was exceptional. Enjoyed.

Steve,

This is absolutely stunning!

I love that opening and it leads the ears into a really, really fine composition. The lyrics are superb and you've set them to a really catchy melody. Your vocals and harmonies are first class.

The backing you've created amazed me. I didn't realise it was 7/4 until I read your post (I always try to listen first without reading comments because I like to compare my thoughts to comments after the listen). This is such a terrific time signature and you've used it with flair. It's great to know that Realtracks worked so comfortably with something out of the ordinary.

Everything about this shines with polish and glistens with professionalism. Without doubt, you continue to inspire!

It was definitely worth taking the time to set up these bars of alternating 4/4 and 3/4.

All the best,
Noel

Steve,

The whole atmosphere is like a gospel.
7/4 is a time signature that is pretty complicated, but your song does not make us feel like that.
It is very natural.
Your singing is wonderful as usual.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

That was a stunning effort, great work on the 7/4 meter and just a wonderful catchy tune beautifully sung.
Loved the vocal, drum passage - actually all of it.

First of all, please forgive me for "disappearing" on y'all! I took early, semi-retirement the end of January. My wife insisted that I disappear from the face of the planet for a few weeks, and try to get de-stressed. After working almost 7 years of 60 hour weeks, in addition to pastoring a church, she knew I needed the time off. She was right (as always). I am now back involved in civilization, and much more relaxed and happy.

Thanks to all of you for posting such kind words about this song. I won't take over everyone else's threads to thank each one individually. Just know that all of you are important to me, and very much appreciated!

Now, I will get to listening to some of what I have been missing the past couple of months!

Yes, as others have said, this has all the hallmarks of a Steve Young write--hooky as all get out, masterful build and arrangement. A real foot stomper, inspiring lyrics, great vocals.

But I think I can tell where you are getting all of these tricks:

Playin' in a P&W band will make you learn some arrangement chops, won't it Steve? smile Happy Sunday morning y'all--time to kick out the jams!

Glad to see you came back!

Thanks, David! Yes, leading a Worship band will bring out some chops, indeed. Several live presentations a week in the same location, with a constant need to have fresh material will bring that out in you.

Glad you like this one!

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."
