Another Man’s Shoes (Lyrics)

I recall one April day, way back in ’83
A certain conversation that my mother had with me
Said, “If you would be happy, Son, and chase away the blues
You really need to walk a mile in someone else shoes.”

So I headed to the thrift shop, just past the five and ten.
I bought some shoes, I put them on, and wandered home again.
They pinched my toes, they ached my soles, and blistered both my heels.
Now thanks to Mom I’m confident that I know just how it feels.

To walk in another man’s moccasins; to walk in another man’s shoes
Now I’ve got one more reason to go around singing the blues.
I’ve walked in another man’s moccasins; I’ve walked in another man's shoes
So take a tip from me, be careful just whose shoes you choose

Now Mom was very patient and she did the best she could
To see her pearls of wisdom were fully understood
But it seems that comprehension was not my strongest suit
And what she saw as simple – well, I didn’t quite compute

“Is it luck or fate?” I asked, “I need to know what’s true.”
“If you play your cards right, Son, good luck will follow you.”
So I played cards, I played roulette, I even rolled the dice
And if I’m broke today it’s ’cause I took my Mom’s advice

I’ve walked in another man’s moccasins; I’ve walked in another man's shoes
Whenever it was ‘aces high’ then all I had were 'twos'

I’ve walked in another man’s moccasins; I’ve walked in another man's shoes
So take a tip from me, be careful just whose shoes you choose
So take a tip from me, be careful just whose shoes you choose


My music may not set the world on fire but if it causes a glow in just one person's heart, it has all been worthwhile smile

'83? Crikey, I was 26 & spoke to my mum infrequently, (not a good son and busy living near the city with all that comes of that), so was immune from such amusing advice.
Witting and cool.
I enjoyed it.


Cheers

You're on a roll lately - I'm getting a strong late 60's folk feeling from this one. Your vocals are incredible on this. You really captured an authentic classic rock feeling on this one. I can imagine this sounding really awesome live.

Nicely done - thanks for sharing smile


Cheers,
Deryk

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."
