Bob,
This is brilliant. I wish I had written it. Totally jealous. It gave me goose bumps. It is one of my favorite songs now, ranking right up there with the best of Lou Reed, Bowie, or Dylan.
It needs to be the theme song to a major motion picture.
A masterpiece.

I'm late in listening and everything that I wanted to say already has been said. I totally agree with the following: Bob,
This is brilliant. I wish I had written it. Totally jealous. It gave me goose bumps. It is one of my favorite songs now, ranking right up there with the best of Lou Reed, Bowie, or Dylan.
It needs to be the theme song to a major motion picture.
A masterpiece.
I think this is your best to date.
Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up.
Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

Bob,
Great song!
Heavy drums and your vocal are very nice and perfect fit this tune.
I agree with Alan.
You have one of the most signature sounds on the forum. You are a master of taking 2 or 3 chords, add a little here and a little there and come up with a fantastic, mind-blowing song.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.
Shigeki Adachi

Hi Bob, Wow this is good. I love that opening verse. I’m watching you from the window
In this rundown Soho dump
Ordering coffee and bagels
From the guy in that blue truck This is such good scene-setting writing. Time is set to 'right now' using the present verb tense and I love how 'watching you from the window' sets location so very, very well. I also loved the phrase "friday night highway honcho". Those three long "i" sounds sitting side-by-side and the way they seamlessly overlap with the "h" alliteration is excellent ear candy! When I heard you sing this, I had to stop the track and just repeat the line a few times to myself... it caught my fancy  Terrific listening! All the best, Noel

I'm really surprised I missed this song, Bob
But it seems that way. I cannot add something new after what all others wrote. A very nice song.
I like the backgroundvoices, so subtle present but ominous (in a way).
All the time I expected you to raise your voice somewhere in the chorusses, but you stayed 'at ease'.
Thans Bob,
Hans

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."
