Good work on this! I did not feel that backing track is missing any instruments, does not sound thin. Also, it was not "too" loud to my ears.
Thank you for sharing!

Thanks Misha for your always positive feedback smile "Outsider Pop" - I don't know what it exactly means but I love that, I feel like an outsider when it comes to listening and making music smile Thanks for that invention, I'll use it in the future wink

with "loud" I meant that when I had my songs in a playlist, this song started loudest and I had to lower the volume.

Janne,
You already have many comments on the happy danceable sound you`ve made- I like that bouncy chorus too. Nice mix of EDM & Rt`s.
I found the lyrics a fun take on what desperate measures the love crush can lead to: " crochet curtains for your bedroom" that`s one that brought a chuckle... nearly been there!
Good to hear you once again trying a new style.

Robert

Thanks for sharing smile

The very strong melody really carries the song well and is memorable.
Well done!
J&B


Thanks Janice and Bud for your kind comment smile Nice to hear that you find the melody strong and memorable - usually I don't remember lyrics of my songs, but in this case I do quite easily, maybe it is because the melody itself is so memorable smile

Sounds good to me, I like the guitar in the intro, good way to start things off, nice solo too.

Overall a solid, well constructed track, well done!

Thanks Deej for your kind words smile Nice to get feedback also for the song title, it is important part of the song, for getting attention. Dreams are usually difficult to describe in words, so this dreamy song cannot be fully explained, but I'm glad it worked for you smile

That bar of excellence that you keep on setting for yourself just gets higher and higher with each production!
All the best,
Noel


Thanks Noel, you are just too kind with your words laugh I'm really glad you enjoyed the song from start to end smile

Thanks Tangmo for your positive feedback and smile smile "Airy" is an excellent description, I was aiming for that. Glad you enjoyed!

Thanks Greg for your kind feedback smile I read my notes that I actually made this song as a counterpart for a previous song which had only minor chords - this one has only major chords (of course some inversions may sound bit minor), so that's why it's so upbeat.

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."

Happy Easter! Holiday Hours...

Our Customer Service hours this weekend are:

Friday, March 29: 8-4
