Thanks for the comments! This is in _QUONDAM.STY. Except for a couple of 2-bar sections and a thinning of the instruments during the bridge's choir passage, it's just A and B sections played straight up. Had to Google Quondam (it's Latin!) but still don't know the connection with the music. Hmmm...

Very nice vocals and harmonies. Enjoyable bouncing rhythm.
Interesting lyrics, always nice to hear a new angle to Christmas songs.
Very good mix, all instruments clearly present.

Jim, Janne, Scott, THANK YOU for the listens and feedback!

Here are the very creative lyrics by R.W. Davis...

Snow Globe Santa
There’s a blizzard all around you
Snow Globe Santa
I hope they didn’t drowned you
Snow Globe Santa
I’m so glad that I found you

How are you doing in your circular prison?
Are you planning your escape?
You’re cradled safely among holiday boxes
With the wrapping paper and scotch tape
You’re frozen in time, unable to move
With glitter instead of snow
How does it feel trapped in a transparent ball
With a fake tree and mistletoe?

I’m barely awake in my colorful sweater
The falling snowflakes make the windowpanes wetter
I try the cupcakes but they all taste like cheddar
It’s time for a break but feels like a double-header
I give it a shake and the world seems so much better

Snow Globe Santa
There’s a blizzard all around you
Snow Globe Santa
I hope they didn’t drowned you
Snow Globe Santa
I’m so glad that I found you

How are you doing to see us all once a year?
Do you still remember us?
Our family gathers ‘round the fireplace
To celebrate each Christmas
You still look the same, a jolly smile
And a glow on both your cheeks
We’ll carefully put you back in the box
With the ornaments and wreaths

With sadness and regret, I’ll have to say goodbye
And hope to see you next year
If I listen closely I might hear you say
“SOMEONE LET ME OUTTA HERE!!!”

Snow Globe Santa
There’s a blizzard all around you
Snow Globe Santa
I hope they didn’t drowned you
Snow Globe Santa
I’m so glad that I found you

Nicely done - it definitely sets the Christmas mood, and your vocals are right on point too. Nicely done mixing job as well.

Thanks for sharing!


Cheers,

Deryk, THANK YOU for the feedback! Christmas is such a great time of year, but also a huge cliche. It was fun to craft a song around this different spin on the holidays. smile Ho! Ho! HO!

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."
