Registered: 08/09/10 Posts: 4117 Loc: Woodstock, NY rsdean Veteran Registered: 08/09/10 Posts: 4117 Loc: Woodstock, NY	Hi All, This is a new song called Fight Like A Girl. I’m watching you from the window In this rundown Soho dump Ordering coffee and bagels From the guy in that blue truck He’s trying to make some time with you His jacked-up humor and vices But you're an old street fighter He's bowing out to avoid a crisis They say you fight like a girl They say you fight like a girl I think you fight like a girl C’mon and fight like a girl Driving off to the mountains The Tappan Zee is thick with cars Rolling fifteen miles an hour While you count all the stars Friday night highway honcho Red flying truck and no blinker Let’s bury the hatchet and move on But you give him the third finger They say you fight like a girl They say you fight like a girl I think you fight like a girl C’mon and fight like a girl I’m watching you from the bedroom You fix the heat and shut the light If I ever stumble over us Hit me hard with some of that fight They say you fight like a girl They say you fight like a girl I think you fight like a girl C’mon and fight like a girl All BIAB Tracks: 2474: Bass, Acoustic, Held Ev 085 2505: Piano, Electric, HeldChords 085 2914: Guitar, Acoustic, Fingerpicking Folky16thsBrent Ev16 085 832: Guitar, Electric, Rhythm, AltCountryMoody Ev 075 Chorus Loop: Chillout/Chillout_dimensions_145 RealDrums: PopPromiseEv16 a:Snare on 4, HiHat, b: Snare As always - thanks for listening!

The inverted chord you use as your starting point for the hook works so well! It's hard to give a review in words for this song because it's an experience - it has to be heard and not picked apart in words, I feel. But, in short, I loved it. Great lyrics, also. _________________________ My music (almost all made with BIAB) on Bandcamp My website

Great vocals and very enjoyable chording. Janne

Brought a smile to my face. Your voice carries it well and the band plays with subdued power and purpose. _________________________ BIAB 2019 Audiophile. Windows 10. Former user of old version.

I can't say why, but for some reason, it made me think of Steve Forbert's debut album "Alive On Arrival" - an all-time favorite of mine... (if you don't know that record, find it and have a listen - I'm pretty sure you would like it) You are using the BAND to perfection these days to showcase your songs and your sound. fj _________________________ 150+ Songs produced using BIAB RealTracks And The other list...

Excellent write! my goodness, you're turning out monster songs the mix and production are so good, it seems like everyone here is getting better and better at mixing I feel like I need to step up my game He’s trying to make some time with you His jacked-up humor and vices But you're an old street fighter He's bowing out to avoid a crisis I love these lines because they tell so much about strength of character and personalities - great writing tying in watching you from a window/bedroom is a nice dovetail the use of the Alt-Country Moody is excellent enjoyed, Kenny

The tune has a lot of personality, and is really memorable. As others have mentioned - the chorus on this is superb. It isn't necessarily a very catchy chorus, but it definitely hits hard. You should be proud of this one - thanks for sharing _________________________ Cheers, Deryk

"He’s trying to make some time with you His jacked-up humor and vices But you're an old street fighter He's bowing out to avoid a crisis" Kenny has already quoted that line but we had to also...it is power packed. There is a "togetherness" of your vocal delivery, choice of lyric, melody and BiaB components that is very special. You've carved out your own unique place on this forum and we feel that the same thing would happen even if you were part of large Americana playlists...as you should be! Wonderful, J&B _________________________ Check out our BiaB SoundCloud songs! J&B YouTube Sampler J&B Website Our album "All Over The Map" is on Apple Music, Spotify and others.

Band-in-a-Box® Tip of the Day!

Did you know that Band-in-a-Box® will show you some helpful "Tips" when you start the program? What a great way for new program users to learn all the features of the program! Want to know Tips on just the latest version? This feature can be adjusted to just show the Tips for that too.

Maybe you're a long-time user of the program, and have this feature turned off? To access Tip of the Day (450+ available!), head to Help | Tip of the Day. Your Tip will appear right away - and you'll have the option of reading the Next Tip if you wanted too! Within this window is where you would also choose to "Show Tips at Startup" (if this is unchecked, you won't see them), or "Only Show Tips for Version 2019".

Here's a few Tips the program informed me of the last time I opened Band-in-a-Box®:

In the Piano Roll window, the 'Ghost Note' function allows you to view a single-channel, and see notes on all other channels display in light grey. This is useful when working with multi-channel tracks.

Want a bigger guitar display? Drag the bottom end of the Guitar Window to change its size, or press the SETTINGS button to set a custom size.

The Printout can use left and right MARGINS. This is useful to make printouts for small paper size or 3 hole paper that requires margins.

Edit | Nudge Chords/Melody. Let's say that you have entered a complete song chord progression, and you then realize that all of the chords starting at bar 23 are 1 beat to late. You can use this feature to slide your chords over by 1 beat.
