To be honest, the intro didn't grab me, and the start was a bit underwhelming.

... wait for it ... wink

But then that lovely melody reeled me in by the middle of the first verse, and that major to minor chord move gets me every time.

By the time you hit the restatement of the melody an octave higher on the second verse, I was hooked.

Besides, I'm a sucker for major seventh chords.

Gorgeous. smile

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Hmm, yes I see your point, David. Intros can be tricky with BIAB sometimes. I'm never sure if I should let "the band that's always there" do its own thing or layer my own thing over the top.
Glad it grew on you. I'm partial to the major sevenths too. The verses actually start with a G6 and I threw a Cdim in the bridge just for some variation.

David has it - if you could make the solo reflect the melody - even a phrase - it would make more sense - as would a gentler instrumental performance of it.


Cheers

Sorry, I was referring to some bits in the melody.

Probably also not major 7th intervals, but I can live with that. wink

Nice work - I liked the progressions, and how gentle it sounds. Easy on the ears, and peaceful to listen to. Thanks for sharing smile

Title is perfect for the song. Liked the piano parts and the ending with the guitar coming in. Enjoyed the listen.

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.

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."
