And even though you are walking away from some memories it sounds like you walking toward more pleasant times.

Well done...the entire production including the vocal performance sounds excellent on our monitors.
Kudos!

Thanks Janice and Bud for your insightful feedback smile Walking toward more pleasant times, that's very nicely said. Now that I think of it, maybe I could have stressed that part more, for example, by bringing it more clearly in the bridge section. Happy walking!

Really like that baritone shuffle track which underpins the song all the way, and your relaxed vocal.
All my songs are mulled over, hummed and refined on walks...two therapies combined!
Robert


Thanks Robert for your kind words smile I don't do much songwriting during my walks, at least consciously, but quite often many new ideas pop up from nowhere, so it's more like a subconscious process then.

Sounds like many of us are enthusiastic for walking as way to "escape". Like (what sounds like to me) the chromatic descending chord progressions. Enjoyed the listen.

Hi Janne,

that's interesting in all aspects: nice lyrics, a great arrangement (love the solo guitar throw-ins) and your singing really tells the story. Enjoyed the listen!

Cheers,

Stefan

Janne,

Really like the lyrics to this one . . . and the “walking, walking” refrain is catch, with the music seemingly beating out the singer’s steps. Nicely conceived and executed. Enjoyed this listen—well done.

All the best,

Deej

Thanks Mark for your nice comment smile Most likely I'm not following the orthodox progression you mentioned, I always add my own oddities, but I'm glad you enjoyed the song anyway laugh

Thanks Deej, I appreciate your kind words smile I had some timing issues with the melody and rhythm in some bars, sounding like drummer couldn't follow the walking rhythm of the melody, but I'm glad that it didn't bother you (or anyone else).

I think its cool how your choice of backing rhythm fits the song title...
Even lead rides feel like they're walking...
Good job on this one!

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."
