Christian & Patrick,
A very nice song. Good tracks, nice vocal. Good mix.
"It was really cosmopolitan Tolerant and friendly"
True... I lived in Montreal for a couple of years...
Enjoyed the journey back...

Nicely done - it flows delightfully well, and the mix is really nice as Floyd said. It's nice to see Canada get some love here in the forums too - never been myself, but Montreal's been on my to-go-to list for a while now. Thanks for sharing
Cheers, Deryk

Loved the organ and brushes, worked well with the whole mix.
I enjoyed the vocals and lyric story as well.
Nice job!

Chris/Patrick, I don't speak French but I could listen to it being spoken or, even better, sung all day. I love the vocals on this (thanks also for the translation). Somehow this lovely French Canadian song works perfectly with the bossa nova treatment. The organ is a nice touch too. But one of the stars of this piece is Patrick's whistling.
BIAB wishlist: what about a whistling RealTrack???

This songs moves along very smoothly. I like it very much. Any chance I could include it in my next Bastille Day concert? Any chance I could see the original lyrics?
My music may not set the world on fire but if it causes a glow in just one person's heart, it has all been worthwhile

The song has a really lovely flow to it. I've never had the opportunity to go to Montreal when I lived closer to Quebec, but hope to still get the chance to some day!
Thanks for sharing.
Cheers, Ember

Christian,
Cool jazzy number . . . I’m not typically a fan of jazz, but this is wonderfully executed. And again you’ve picked a great vocalist (and whistler) for this one. Nice work!
Regards,
Deej

Hi Christian,
there are some folks here on the forum about which I have my doubts that they ever sleep or eat - you're definitely one of them as you're coming up with so many songs.
This one's another nice tune, very well (!) arraged and appealingly sung by Patrick. Another good job, Christan.
Take care,
Stefan

Je reviendrai à Montréal Au pays de Charlebois Et grimper sur le Mont Royal L’impression de rentrer chez moi
J’avais des amis fantastiques Aimant la vie et la musique
C’était vraiment cosmopolite Tolérant et sympathique
Moi qui écoutais Beau Dommage Félix Leclerc et Gilles Vigneault Et Harmonium en héritage La chanson trouvait son berceau
Merci mes amis fantastiques Vive la vie et la musique

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."
Happy Easter! Holiday Hours...

Our Customer Service hours this weekend are:
