I am trying to write a few songs for 50 90 this year. I know I am not getting to gt anywhere close to 50 but, hey, even one or two is better than none! These lovely lyrics were written by Cindy Prince. The inspiration for the melody came from Kate Rusby. https://soundcloud.com/joannecoopersa/i-am-thinking-of-you-with-cindy-princeThe style used was BABBLE (Babbling Slow Americana) RealTracks in style: 2877:Bass, Acoustic, AmericanaSlow16thsByron Ev16 060 RealTracks in style: 2879:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm AmericanaSparseSlow16thsColin Ev16 060 RealTracks in style: 2878:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm AmericanaSlow16thsBrent Ev16 060 RealTracks in style: 3074:Mandolin, Rhythm AmericanaSlow16thsAndy Ev16 060 RealDrums [in style:AmericanaRoots16th^01-a:Toms, b:Snare I added a midi flute of the melody using Dimension Pro Lyrics: Thinking of You © 2019 Cindy Prince When the skies are cloudy When the skies are blue When there's only the moon shining I am thinking of you When the snow is falling When the sun shines bright When the tiny green leaves are growing Thinking of you feels right Chorus When I blink I think of you When I shave Yes, that too When I talk When I walk Every day anew I am thinking of you When the rain is pouring When the leaves start to fall When a strong wind is blowing Thinking of you is my all Repeat chorus

Hi Joanne,
This is a very lovely song with a subtle, but very nice harmony. The instruments are nicely chosen. They fit in very well. At first glance (hearing) I had some doubts with the Americana percussion, but that vanished when listening again.
Greetings, Hans

A pleasant song, Joanne. Nice job on the flute part.
(Not sure why, but the main vocal seems to "lean a bit left" in my speakers. Might just be perception.) Good mix.

We've used those drums also and really like them.
The flute was a nice addition.
Lovely harmony blend.
Well done Joanne!

Joanne, Very pretty melody (Kate Rusby is a great inspiration!). Good uplifting lyrics and your shining vocals...a good arrangement too with that damped sound of the drums underneath. Such enjoyable music.

Enjoyable Listen. Flute has such a unique sound - to me a good addition when you want something slightly different without being jarring.

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...
2024 is well underway - it's already Easter Weekend!
Our Customer Service hours this weekend are:
