Oh What A Fool Is A Young Man Something a bit different from us. A combination of Band In A Box and NI Komplete to create a pseudo orchestral backing. Leon - Vocal & Lyrics I played the outro guitar solo, sang a little and used my rudimentary keyboard skills and some midi editing to add a flute and chords for some of the Kontakt sounds. The Band: RealTracks in style: ~2483:Bass, Acoustic, Bowed HeldSimple Ev 085 RealTracks in style: 2870:Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm CelticAirDave Ev 085 RealTracks in style: 2820:Harp, Rhythm ClassicalSlow8ths Ev 085 MIDI SuperTracks in song: 1805:Synth Pad, PopBelieve Ev16 065 RealDrums [in Song:RockNorthern^7-a:Snare, HiHat Closed , b:Snare, Bell Ride O what a fool is a young manYou gave me a volume of haiku Inscribed it with all of your love It wasn’t long after you told me You thought it was time to move on I had worn pastels and paisley From that day I only wore black I thought that nothing could save me Except somehow winning you back O what a fool is a young man In love for the very first time Don’t be too hard on a young man In love for the very first timeI tried to get your attention To show you how much I still cared When that didn’t work I ignored you No better with that plan I fared So I thought I’d make you jealous Took someone else to the dance You said that we made a sweet couple And left us with no backward glance O what a fool is a young man In love for the very first time Don’t be too hard on a young man In love for the very first time
I opened that volume of haiku Beauty expressed in three lines Thought of the way we had seemed so in tune Two paths that had somehow aligned My sorrow was tinged with acceptance Thought I might be happy one day Love might even be kinder next time Yes I know what you’re going to say O what a fool is a young man In love for the very first time Don’t be too hard on a young man In love for the very first time
O what a fool is a young man In love for the very first time Don’t be too hard on a young man In love for the very first time

Different indeed!
Good to you you guys pushing the side of the envelope and trying new things. As always, great lyrics from Leon, I like the vocal(s) too.
Loved that outro solo! Were you using a whammy pedal for that?
Sounded good guys, enjoyed the listen!

Peter & Leon,
THIS is outstanding. COOL is an over-used word, but SO appropriate here.
An excellent write. "I opened that volume of haiku Beauty expressed in three lines" ...just one example...
The tracks are put together really well. Terrific production/arrangement. Loved the addition of synths to your stuff...
The outro guitar is over-the-top good.
So much good, I hate to bring up a slight "negative" (in my opinion, of course)... I did not care for the vocal processing. There was a "boominess" that "took it out of the mix". It made it seem like the tracks needed to come up, but I think it was more that the vocal needed to come down - to "sit" better (not sure if that would eliminate that "boominess" or not).
OK. Back to the praise...
So much to LOVE in this one!!

Guys,
I liked this one a lot. Really loved the intro synth sounds, very relaxing. I agree that vocals could come down in volume just a tad to bring the band up. Other than that, no issues here.
Keep up the great work!

Gentlemen, this is fantastic. Great backing tracks, loved that orchestra! The vocals and mix were super. The lyrics were top notch also. As usual your guitar tone and chops were outstanding. Loved those guitar effects!

Sounded good guys, enjoyed the listen! Thanks Dave. I'm using a Line 6 Helix Lt - which has onboard (among many things) a whammy emulation linked to the expression pedal. Peter

An interesting chord progression, which delivers the color of the song and its story.
Clever lyrics, sadly probably often a true story....

That's cool. the unison/double tracking had a slip at 0.57 that could be repaired with a tiny bit of cut n paste or drag. The outro guitar is important as it provides the "relief" the song was building towards - worked a treat too.

This is a fantastic song. Truly emotional text and the dark melancholy melody touch me deeply. The chording is excellent, intriguing and support the mood. The haunting sounding vocals highlight the sadness. The powerful rugged solo guitar still plays the strings of my soul. I really dig the orchestral background, the drum rolls especially.
Great work!
Janne

Peter & Leon, I like the tension that you maintain with the orchestral backing and realisations evolving through the narrative- another excellent life lesson lyric! I agree the vocal could drop in volume a little, otherwise this is really good ( one of the best I`ve heard from you ),and that outro guitar is spine tingling.

fj Thanks floyd -appreciate the review - possibly what you are hearing is caused by the vocal doubling? I'll have a play around with it later. Thanks for the kind words. Peter

Fantastic moody and ethereal sounds Peter! Love this flow of this (almost a Pink Floyd sort of thing). Yes it's different from your usual offering but it certainly works and sounds great! Love those interesting melody/chord changes!! Thanks, Torrey

Great song & performance... I liked the melodic treatment you gave the following lines... I thought that nothing could save me... You said that we made a sweet couple... Love might even be kinder next time... It really made them stand out... I also enjoyed your guitar solo (as usual)... And I definitely liked the orchestral drum roll on the tag... Nice touch!

Yes, what others said is what came to my mind: epic, ethereal, and I love that solo electric guitar. That was the cherry on top.
Good work and good use of BIAB.

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."
