"It's The Simple Things" (2009). https://soundcloud.com/lawrence-olivier/its-the-simple-thingsI did this song with BIAB years ago and was never quite satisfied. Thanks to BIAB and their commitment to an ever expanding catalogue of recording styles, I was able to use all new instruments and I am much happier with the results. I love the nylon guitars!

Excellent singing as well. Glad you're happy with the new version - I certainly enjoyed it.

Sounds good to me, Lawrence!
The "band" works well for the piece, and your vocal is perfect.
Enjoyed!

Wonderful remake!
Your choice of RT's is interesting and, man, do they ever carry the song well.
The lyric is well worth reflecting upon and is delivered with a classy, passionate vocal.
It's ALWAYS nice to log on and see a gruve tune posted and this certainly did not disappoint.
Excellent work! Come back more often.

BIAB went the whole hog in REAL - the clicks and taps i the classical guitar track &/or bass track really place one in the room. The arrangement, lyric and vocal performance make this an excellent result. Personally I'd reduce, rather than eliminate, the "noises" as they distract me when wearing headphones. A personal nit -. Loved it.

Lawrence,
So great to hear you again... Love this song and the vocal is outstanding.
The mix is excellent and bass is a real standout - just beautiful.
Bob Bob, thank you. I've recently watched a video about how high passing the low end effects harmonics across the rest of the spectrum. It was very eye opening. And as a result lately I stopped using high pass filter. Nice! The nylon strings sure sound sweet.
Excellent singing as well. Glad you're happy with the new version - I certainly enjoyed it. David, thank you. It's always nice to hear how new RealTracks that are getting released can help finish a piece! Thanks for sharing with us and great song. Ember, thank you. It's always a pleasure to discover the new recordings each year. Really love what you have done here. I particularly enjoyed the lyrics. Very pretty sounding. Rob
Thank you Rob. Nice job, good use of textures. The strings fit so well. The simple things are so important...
Steve Steve, thank you. Sounds good to me, Lawrence!

J&B Janice and Bud, thank you for your kind comments. It's always great to hear new songs from you as well. Great song... Engaging lyrics... Wonderful production & mix... I really enjoyed listening Jim, thank you. Nice work on this Gruverider! The Cello is a great touch. Thanks for sharing! Thank you Joe.

Stunning. What a band! Powerful lyric and sweet emotional delivery. Wonderful from first bar to last, but that ending is especially powerful.

The wait for better RTs was worth the end result - great atmospheric arrangement, I like the harp, the bass especially in the ending, and those nylon guitars play the very interesting chord progression amazingly well. Your voice has nice raspy tone which fits in perfectly.

Hi Lawrence,
As I said on Soundcloud some time back, this is a wonderful listen.
As always, your sound is as professional as anything I've ever heard. I am always captivated by the uniqueness of your creations and presentations.
I would love to have 10% of your imagination... that would be enough for me!
All the best, Noel

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."
