Wow! What a beautiful piece! Pretty much everything has been said that I wanted to say. Love the a capella beginning, sets the stage for the loneliness of the song. And the strings really work in this one. The lyrics are just beautiful, just about every line is quotable. So poetic.

Well done!

Beautiful, aching poetry. Poetry set to music, as Dave stated. Some of Leonard Cohen's stuff came to mind. Laura Nyro, as well. Well done.

Wonderful poetry Robert!! A very cool song......unusual changes, and a beautiful vocal, great strings, and I love that muted guitar strum which is like a backbone throughout! Really a great effort all the way!! Take care. Greg

Hi Robert,

I'm afraid I missed this song, but until now!
I like your style. Always that melancholic mood that make me creep in my own mind.
Very nicely done, but it is also complicated. For singing. Especially in the middle part of the song.
It's nice to hear how you struggle through it. Very good. That feeds the 'medieval' touch in this song (as I would describe it).

Thank you for listening and commenting Jim & Birchwood ( I like that you picked up on the "medieval" chant parts in the song).

Exquisite poetry. As others have said, hauntingly beautiful. Perfect choice for instrumentation.

Robert,

It's a pretty mysterious song.
I'm not good at English, so I can't really understand the meaning of lyrics, but I feel something special.
Your vocals just fit this tune. Emotional.
The chord progression is characteristic.
As floyd says, the combination of the muted acoustic and the newage piano is super.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

What a great song!

Super a cappella intro.

What fantastic instrumentation you have in this song. Excellent vocal! Outstanding mix.

Everything is perfect.


Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up.
Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

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.

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."
