Memories of childhood holidays. I always used to nag my parents to take me there, those dreams are part of this song. For me, Barafundle Bay in South Wales (UK) was like strawberry fields was to john Lennon so I tried to evoke a bit of that ethereality.

I'm doing the vocals, acoustic guitar and slide guitar. The rest is BIAB.

Hello japokeapeg. Welcome to the forum.
I can hear the Beatles influence.
Nice job on the harmonies.
Have you thought of doing this in another key?
may allow you to bring more out of your vocal.
Catchy tune nicely done. Rob

japokeapeg,

An enjoyable listen. Nicely put together, well mixed.

Has the sound of an early 70's radio hit...(though a bit long for an AM song. smile ). Catchy.

The slide was cool...

Wow - I really enjoyed this one! Definitely a psychedelic 60's vibe going on here which is always good by me. The Beatles influence is apparent. Some really top notch vocals, and I thought the instrumentation was captivating and unique.

Great work and thanks for sharing smile


Cheers,

Welcome to the forum!
I enjoyed your catchy reminiscing. Good vocals and guitars. Around 3:30 the song seems to lose some energy - perhaps vocals/harmonies in a higher register would suit the feeling better?
Your mix sounds good.

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."
