Ghost,
What an awesome opening—totally conveys the vibe . . . and then the vocal kicks in with those terrific lyrics . . . boy, what a cool song this is. From a production standpoint it’s pretty darn stellar . . . though I’m wondering if the vocal is a tad (and I mean just a tad) muted—maybe just a touch hotter? I also think you need to develop and elongate the ending a bit more—it’s a short tune as it stands. You could add thirty seconds on to this and it would still be short and sweet, allowing you to develop a smoother close. As it stands it seem to fade to abruptly.
Really sweet tune, Ghost. Very impressed!
Regards,
Deej

I think you're right about the ending, Deej. Thanks. I'll work on it

THat's pretty cool.
Loved the music and the song is cool too.
You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

Very well and boldly done to make this mix of music styles! I really think it works... especially because your mixing is very good and clean. I agree about the ending which feels a bit abrupt, but that doesn't take away from a very fine song (and you have a very pleasant voice to listen to as well).
Thanks a lot for sharing this little masterpiece! Will

Great intro and rhythms throughout the entire song, great job on that! Your lyrics could have been sung by any teenage boy!
Your vocal was perfect for this. Your lyrics are some of the best I have heard on these forums.
I think this is your best to date.
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.

Nicely done - really unique, and a fine example of Band-in-a-Box's versatility. I agree with Mario above me too - the vocals and lyrics are both perfectly fitting for this. Thanks for sharing
Cheers, Deryk

The instrumentation hooked me from the onset and it didn't let go of me until the song was over.
I really like your vocal delivery here, the urgency in the voice.
Good set of creative lyrics.

Thanks, Ezekiel's Storm. As Deej56 pointed out, the original version seemed to fade out too fast and was quite short anyway. Consequently, I gave it a quick makeover with a repeated last verse and slightly increased volume and depth on the vocals. https://soundcloud.com/user-427542889/star-of-the-bollywood-screen-extended-version/s-QzPHm

Hi Ghosgum,
that is a really cool one!
Nice and fresh lyrics, great usage of a RealStyle that's really not inspiring a song-writer at first glance, lovely cocals - liked it a lot.
Cheers,
Stefan

Love it! The only thing it lacks is a bridge where the dance number fits in.

This is fantastic! You really have an outstanding songwriting and song-arranging ability. From start to end this is exceptionally well crafted and it's produced with talent and flair. I thoroughly enjoyed listening. All the best, Noel

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."
