One of my favorites from you. I have to agree with the comments referencing the early Beatles. Yet, the Jim Hughes version is pretty darn good! And, I do agree with you about the Beatles having a strong country influence in many of their songs. George Harrison was often quoted as having said Chet Atkins was his guitar hero.
That was real nice, laid back listen. I thought your vocal on this one was stellar. Thanks for the great listen! Wishing you well,
Alan (a Texas resident from 1975 - 1979)
Thanks, Alan... I appreciate your comments & support. George & the Beatles were also fans of Carl Perkins, Phil & Don, Buck Owens, & others who had country roots.
Nicely done A strong throwback to that old school country vibe - never a bad thing in my books. Love your vocals on this too. It sounds really sincere and heartfelt. Nicely catchy as well.
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks, Deryk... Your support & comments are muchly appreciated.
I'm getting an early beatles vibe from this too as others have mentioned.
Good song, Jim! I like your vocal.
Thanks, Dave... I glad you liked it... I think the "early beatles" vibe is probably from... The 4, 4m, 1 cadence which is used repeatedly throughout the song.
I love the gentle, relaxing backing that you've assembled for this. It's a perfect choice for amplifying the sense of loss that the words convey. To my ears, this song sounded like someone mourning the passing of their partner. Your vocals are heartfelt and carry the lyrics' message straight from the heart. Beautiful work.

Thanks, Noel... I really appreciate your comments & support.

Yes you've gone But I'm not alone The fragrance of your sweet love Lingers on
You're still here Cause though you are gone The fragrance of your sweet love Lingers on
I can smell Your perfume In the air I can feel Your sweet touch Ev'rywhere But you're not there
Yes you've gone But I'm not alone The fragrance of your sweet love Lingers on
Dear Jim,
you sure know how to write and perform sweet love songs. Liked this one, too, a lot.
And, yes, I had the same idea like Torrey: There's some Beatles feel in it. I knew it was the A to A minor change, and though I torture my brain, I couldn't find out, what that song I was reminded of. But finally I remembered: Devil In Her Heart, which is rather one of the less known Beatles songs, I think.
Jim, even if your song wasn't as good as it definitely is - I'd be so grateful that you caused me to watch some very old Beatles songs on YT.
All the best, Jim, and thanks a lot for sharing this wonderful simple (in the most positive sense of the word !!!!) love song,

Yeah those Beatles wrote some great country tunes How are you & Maha doing? I hope things are going well for both of you.

Dear Jim,
I really appreciate your compassion - thank you so much for it. Well, although there is some light at the end of the tunnel, things are still very difficult. Maha is still very ill, but there is at least a tendency for imprivement. But we've had so many ups and downs during the last months that we're still a bit sceptical.

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.
Update your Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows® Today!

With this update, there's more control when saving images from the Print Preview window, we've added defaults to the MultiPicker for sorting and font size, updated printing options, updated RealTracks and other content, and addressed user-reported issues with the StylePicker, MIDI Soloists, key signature changes, and more!
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."
