COOL song with a good narrative and a driving beat.
The melody works really well.
There's some quite loud spots in the vocal that jump out - I reckon a 2nd compressor on the vocal bus would tame that and keep the voices sweet.
Top stuff. Thanks, Ray. I've run into a problem with all the songs I've recorded in Mixcraft because it keeps crashing; consequently, I have switched to Reaper with more satisfying results. Unfortunately, Mixcraft doesn't save the vocal tracks as wav files, unless I render each vocal track as a wav file, which is hard to do with the program crashing all the time. I guess I will have to wait for the MC update before I can work on some of my previous recordings.

Scott,
A HUGE sound. The drums, bass and organ really drive this. And you did capture that AM Hit radio feel. You might not have intended it to go back this far, but for me it brought to mind Freddie and the Dreamers... well done.
Good mix. Loved the Benji/Mackenzie rhyme..

Thanks, Kenny. With growing up on AM radio, I didn't know what a bass guitar sounded like until much later. LOL!

Very nice song! I actually listened before reading your song notes and I thought it was about two dogs that had run away... I have a wicked mind...:)
I truly enjoyed listening and I hope to hear more songs from you soon.

Scott,
Really uplifting!
Your vocal really fits this tune.
I agree with Janne.
Very catchy pop song, makes me wanna sing along. Has some nice 60's vibe, could fit well in a nostalgic movie sound track.
And as rayc said, COOL song with a good narrative and a driving beat.
The melody works really well.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.
Shigeki Adachi

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."
