#536980 - 05/16/19 02:34 PM [User Showcase] The Best Thing In Your Life
Registered: 08/29/14 Posts: 5553 Loc: North Carolina David Snyder Veteran Registered: 08/29/14 Posts: 5553 Loc: North Carolina	Floyd scolded me and called me lazy and triflin' for not posting a song in a month--so I had to. Just another song about a pretty girl by me and Greg Allen, one of my NSAI buddies. Enjoy. https://soundcloud.com/david-snyder-gigs2/best-thing-in-your-life The Best Thing In Your Life By Greg Allen and David Snyder Chorus 1 What do you think that life would be without her? Is there a word more beautiful than bride? The girl who’s always been, there through thick and thin, And the woman who’s the best thing in your life V1 Did she raise your little babies? Did she send them off to school? Did she tuck you into bed when you stumbled in, like a drunken fool? Did she still call you Darling, all those nights that you were wrong? Did she hold you close, when she danced, to your favorite song? Chorus 1 What do you think that life would be without her? Is there a word more beautiful than bride? The girl who’s always been, there through thick and thin, And the woman who’s the best thing in your life. V2 Remember when you met her, she was young and she was free Walking through that screen door, sweet as summer breeze Remember when she kissed you, in her mama’s living room And how you went and married her in the second week of June CH2 What do you think that life would be without her? when it takes the love of a woman to survive Cause the girl’s who’s always been There through thick and thin Is still the best reason you’re alive Bridge You’ve done one thing right, boy, and you know just what I mean When you saw her smile, walking down that aisle, and she took your wedding ring.

I think you could tighten up the end of the chorus...it seems like it leaves you with no clear melodic direction. Overall, I enjoyed it and it did make me a little misty-eyed. And that ain't the cheetos talking. _________________________ BIAB 2021 Audiophile. Windows 10 64bit. Songwriter, lyricist, composer(?) loving all styles.

(as opposed to a pretty good girl song) Your vocals are always so "convincing". Nice use of the oohs and aahs... Nice job by the 2 of ya... (at first I read that as Greg Allman and thought... "Cool!!") fj _________________________ 150+ Songs produced using BIAB RealTracks And 50 more... and some more...

Especially the pleasure that you apparently had while singing it. Like the song before this one (All about the kiss). I also liked the used backgrounds, vocals and violins, in the composition. One small thing: By the end of the song, it looks like it's dimming for a fraction of a second. Couldn't make up if it was meant to be or not. My bet is you did that on purpose...

Love the backing harmonies, and found your lead vocals to be strong and memorable. Really lush production really took this to the next level for me. The strings that build in the second verse are stunning. A really solid write - thanks so much for sharing _________________________ Cheers, Deryk

I love the sentiment expressed in the lyrics and the crafting of melody and arrangement is really well done, too. As always, your vocals ring true with sincerity and honesty and deliver the song with flair. You and Greg have done a great job. I really enjoyed this. All the best, Noel _________________________ LINKS TO MY BIAB/RB SONGS audios on Soundcloud videos on VIMEO

Could've been a track on New Morning (Dylan) (I love that album) glad to hear a new song posted by you (floyd's like a mafia boss, we can't get out) Just kidding of course, boss beautiful and inspired words about a woman who should be praised, it's a good way to go a graceful delivery Kenny

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."
