https://soundcloud.com/torrey-bliss/the-way-of-the-worldI haven't posted a song in a while and made the decision to get to work and get something up here again. Sorry I've been gone for a while but life tends to get in the way. This tune is a little bit "preachy" but I promise you I was looking in the mirror often on this! It's about how we are just not as caring for our neighbor as we used to be in society. Thank you all for your time to listen and comment! I appreciate it so much! BIAB Drums - Rock 90's Bass - 1522 Electric Power 8's Guitar - 697 Electric Rock Dirty Guitar - 694 Electric Rock Arp Me Vocals Guitar Rhythm and Leads played through my Roland GR55 Synths Percussion The Way Of The World Words and music by Torrey Bliss Copyright 2019 Headed to the cliff at a breakneck speed Are we ever gonna turn this thing around Hey maybe someday But it's not gonna be right now While creation cries and another soul dies We're fighting over ideology Nobody's letting go and nobody really wants to see Its the way of the world The voice of reason unheard Aversion to the light Do I love my neighbor do I feel his pain Do I care enough to even know his name Do I have a heart do I love him as I love myself We choose the way of the world Where no reason is heard We're running from the light Oh the way of the world Its selfish banner unfurled The golden rule denied Judge me if you will But I won't judge you For there's a cross waiting for me I must bear If change is up to me The time has come to do it now We choose the way of the world Where no reason is heard We're running from the light Oh the way of the world Its selfish banner unfurled There is hope if we'll turn back While we still have left some time

Torrey,
Great to see a new one from you!
A powerful opening. Nice guitar work. Cool drums.
Awesome bass. Super vocals. So many nice little touches throughout the production. Bits of ear candy sprinkled all over. (cool guitar all the way through)
A little ELO. A little Boston. A little Beatles. A bunch of Rundgren...All the things that make it ALL Torrey Bliss.
Good write. Excellent mix.
Heading back to have another little. Well worth many.

Torrey,
Exceptional work - great guitar parts - melodic and musically excellent.
I agree with floyd regarding all the influences and nuances in your work.
Mix sounded great and the whole piece was wonderfully professional.

Great song Torrey and such a great sound. I had the volume turned up kind of hot from listening to some thing else previously. Then came your intro. Wow. Had to turn it down a bit.  Great message in that song. Yup. gotta look at ones self first. Phil Keagyish on the vocals???? Very nice sounds

Hi Torrey
As Peter said, very melodic with great guitar sounds and an excellent vocal.
And to add to Floyd's list of luminaries, I'm getting a hint of Elvis Costello.
Great work (and not too preachy as far as I'm concerned).
Regards,
Leon

You're becoming the king of dual lead.
I love your strong melody in this, (as always).
There's nothing wrong with holding up a mirror so long as we're not afraid to look 1st.
Great rocker Torrey.
fabulous song.
Cheers

Hi Torrey,
I've been looking forward so much to your next song and here it finally is.... And yes, you never disappoint, it's just awesome in every respect.
The subject is the one that can't be sung about often enough these days - a fantastic write !!!!
A pity that Floyd and Ray have already commented, because they mention what I was thinking of when I heard the song: The dual lead (which I love so much) remindes me on Wishbone Ash (I'm European...), butr of course Boston nails it, too. Beatles, Elo, yes - you can't hide your musical socialization - luckily I might add.
But whoever may have influenced you: It's an original Torrey Bliss song through and through and if that ain't radio quality I wouldn't know which one was...
Everything terrific with this one - thanks a lot for finally delivering this gem.
All the best,
Stefan

Stefan Stefan, I'm a HUGE Wishbone Ash fan - principally ARGUS but over all - a fabulous band & yes, Torrey does have THAT sound.

Hi Ray,
I was almost sure that no-one here might know that terrific band...
Just listened to 'Blind Eye','Vas Dis' (which is absolutely cover-proof, I think) and some more, first time after decades - just gorgeous...
cheers,
Stefan

Man!!! You had me right from the opening harmony guitars and it just kept getting better from there.
Just totally outstanding, loved everything about it! I listened first then listened again while reading the comments.
I was initially thinking Boston meets the Beatles, but then read the comment from Stefan. Wishbone Ash! Yeah, I can hear that too, listened to them a lot back in the day.
But mostly I hear you. The way you have assimilated all your influences while adding your own spin on things makes it unique and very, very good indeed.
Very much enjoyed!

A cracking good song a great listen thanks Torrey, strong guitar lead lines and just love those tight vocal harmonies ( can hear the Jeff Lynne tones in there ) although of course it's your song. All you need now is a string section to top it off. Great stuff well done.

Torrey,
Dave put it well; sure the influences are there,
"But mostly I hear you. The way you have assimilated all your influences while adding your own spin on things makes it unique and very, very good indeed."
I`m a big fan of your melodic sense and the twin guitars are irressistible.
Awesome vocal here too... good to have you post again- at the top of your form!
Robert

Enjoyable fast pace pop rock with really nice (different) transitions between sections, especially that 'now' cry having both desperation and hope. Great lyrics, preachy but that's the way it should be - to wake up everybody, "The voice of reason unheard " unfortunately so true... All the great Torrey elements there: melodic, lush harmonies, ELO solo, the excellent use of BIAB instruments.

Thanks Floyd for having a listen and commenting! I loved all those musical references you listed and suppose that some of it works it's way out in the music. Thanks, Torrey

Hi Torrey,
Well, that was a powerful start of your song! But at first I agree with Stefan that Floyd said all the things I would have if he wasn't first.
Secondly I'm also glad you're back with this powerful song and strong message. I hope humanity will find the way to the Light again one day. but as long as this does not happen, we can make our music about it...

Cool...
The song also has a great message we all need to contemplate...

Agreed with all this that FJ said: A powerful opening. Nice guitar work. Cool drums.
Awesome bass. Super vocals. So many nice little touches throughout the production. Bits of ear candy sprinkled all over. (cool guitar all the way through)
A little ELO. A little Boston. A little Beatles. A bunch of Rundgren...All the things that make it ALL Torrey Bliss.
Good write. Excellent mix. Out of the Beatles, I got more of a George Harrison style/vibe out of the whole song. Loved this a lot Torrey and nice to see you back!

What a tune! Love the fast-paced nature of the song. It is definitely pulling from some Beatles influence, but that is never a bad thing - and you did make it your own. I found it really engaging and enjoyed my listen - thanks for sharing

 OK, folks are naming names so we'll join in. Janice immediately said "Jeff Lynne and George Harrison." Yeah! Great lyric, vocal, guitar and, man, are we ever down with the lyric. And all wrapped in a fine mix. One of the top rock songs posted here. Nuff said...we really enjoyed it. J&B

Thanks Brian for listening and commenting! I appreciate it! I debated about adding strings but decided against it opting for more of a raw sound to the production! It might be interesting to hear what it would sound like though! T

Hi Torrey,
Well, that was a powerful start of your song! But at first I agree with Stefan that Floyd said all the things I would have if he wasn't first.
Secondly I'm also glad you're back with this powerful song and strong message. I hope humanity will find the way to the Light again one day. but as long as this does not happen, we can make our music about it...
Hans
ThankHans for taking the time to listen and comment! I appreciate it! T

I really liked the intro...
Cool...
The song also has a great message we all need to contemplate...
Sometimes a "little bit "preachy" is needed in a song! Thanks Jim! I always appreciate your comments! T

Super song, great vocals, excellent backing tracks along with some outstanding guitar licks all professionally mixed. Everything about this is great!
This is your best to date IMHO.
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.

OK, folks are naming names so we'll join in. Janice immediately said "Jeff Lynne and George Harrison." Yeah! Great lyric, vocal, guitar and, man, are we ever down with the lyric. And all wrapped in a fine mix. One of the top rock songs posted here. Nuff said...we really enjoyed it. J&B Thanks J&B! I always appreciate your comments! T

Hi Torrey,
I'm late getting to this one. Wow!!!!! It's such a fantastic sound that you've assembled here.
From top to tail, this is stunning writing, stunning arranging, a super performance and a mix that sounds as radio ready as anything I've heard.
You sure have the knack for creating and making great music!
I really enjoyed this journey,
Noel

Torrey, Not going to draw parallels. It well worth to be called OriGiNaL! Great stuff. Message speaks. I guess it is a bit more musically aggressive than other tunes I heard by you, but hey, I think that bit of harshness is the perfect ingredient for this song Instrumentals & Vocals are album quality. Enjoyed it! Thank you for sharing! Misha.

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."
