Don't Know Where I'm Bound
Words and Music by Troy Schiewe
Copyright 2019

Sitting in a chair in the evening shade
got a cool drink in hand man I've got it made The good Lord smiling down on me
Of all the things I've every done, bought, sold or I have won
All I need is the love you give to me

Well I don't know where I'm going and I don't know where I'm bound
But the livings kind of easy when when your love is all around

Sitting on a corn flake waiting for the van
I don't think I quite understand what John Lennon was trying to say to me
All you really need is love I get that one buddy it fits like a glove
Got a good woman who gives it to me

Well I don't know where I'm going and I don't know where I'm bound
But the livings kind of easy when when your love is all around

Sitting in a chair in the evening shade
got a cool drink in hand man I've got it made The good Lord smiling down on me
All I really need is your love I tell you darling we're like two peas in a pod
You're the only thing in life that matters to me

Well I don't know where I'm going and I don't know where I'm bound
But the livings kind of easy when when your love is all around
Yes the livings kind of easy when when your love is all around

Cool tune!! Some fun lyrics, and a simple happy feel! The vocal is very good but maybe a bit too much out front (solo too)....I think the backup band could be heard a bit more (not drums but guitars). Nice job!! Take care. Greg

Well, each monthly song has been pretty high quality IMHO. I liked the humor re John Lennon and this was up to your standard. A good tune done well.

There's very loud click at 1.50 that you ought to deal with.
Pleasant patio rocker & well sung.
I don't know why, but the rhyme of me & me bothered me.


Cheers

Hi Troy,

This is excellent listening!

I found the lyrics engaging and the musical journey very entertaining. Your vocals are terrific and the mix is sitting really comfortably in my headphones right now. The sound is great.

All the best,
Noel

Sunny melody and funny lyrics, catchy chorus and nicely rocking band. Nothing else is needed for a feel good pop song. I enjoyed!

Yeah! This is the sort of song that sort of announces "Sit back and relax, we're just having fun."

Toe tapping easy rocker. smile

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

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."
