This is a song that bluage and I collaborated on. I wrote the main lyrics and bluage did the rest. All I knew was that it was a Reggae song and probably mid-tempo (although I may not have conveyed that part to bluage). From there, bluage took all creative control and recorded and produced a really cool song. He'll have to tell you all the BIAB instruments, etc., that he used. He sang the vocals too, which are wonderful. p.s. I just noticed bluage also added some fade out lyrics, so he gets some writing credit too. Thanks Loren for bringing my words to life! I appreciate it. Here is: That's How Strong My Love IsThank you for any listens and comments. I 'm going to jump off the cliffs of Negril If the fall don't kill me, the drowning will I'm going to wash up on some distant shore And I won't have to think of you no more
That's how much I love you That's how much I love you, baby That's how much I love you I love you, oh yeah
I'm going to move myself to Miami Beach Maybe there I'll be out of reach But your memory travels like a plane Finds me anywhere, makes me insane
That's how much I love you That's how much I love you, baby That's how much I love you I love you, oh yeah
(Bridge) There is nothing more powerful than love There is nothing more powerful than love
I'm going to lay myself down on the track Until that Kingstown train come roaring back I'll just lay here until that day When that locomotive take me away
That's how much I love you That's how much I love you, baby That's how much I love you I love you, oh yeah
That's how much I love you That's how much I love you, baby That's how much I love you I love you, oh yeah
I love you, you love me We will live in harmony I'll hold you tight all through the night And our love will be out of sight

Really nice. Loren's magic can make anything special. I remember the song Loren did for me "Bottom Dollar", all the ad lieb made it so special. Love the upbeat melody and vocals. We all need some "happy songs".

I like this, good write and great job on the track from Loren. Especially like what he did for the bridge!
Collaborations are the best, well done you two.

Good job on this, both of ya. The tracks are good and Loren has a nice vocal warmth that works well for the style. Nice mix. I enjoyed the listen... the ending fade was cool...

Like it!
Reggae is happy music right from the start.... Nice work on the writing too...

Dear jptjptjpt, dear Loren,
what a treat.
First things first: Loren, I do love your warm voice !!!! A very cool arrangement with absolutely no frills - just great. Very nice lyrics, of course, too.
A most beautiful love song.
All the best,
Stefan

Warm, communicative voice - very occasionally pitchy in the intro though. Nice reggae backing - just a little slow for ska from my perspective. STRONG vocal in the bridge. Nice stuff.

"Belladonna', 'guitarhacker', Floyd Jane, 'blueattitude', Stephan, and 'rayc'... Thank all of you for listening to and commenting on 'jptjpt's' song, That's How Much I Love You. His lyrics were just so-o-o good that I heard music immediately upon reading them for the very first time. 'rayc', you have ears like radar !!! It's true I was singing near the top of my vocal range in every verse except the bridge. Stay safe out there, folks, and remember to keep that 'social distance' . Sincerely, LOREN

A great feel!! It's now playing for the 3rd time (as of this sitting). What a wonderful voice with so much texture to it. Loren, you can make anything sound better, and this song and jptjptjpt's lyrics are the perfect vehicle. Thanks for the collaboration, and sharing this wonderful result.
Ok, now I'm my 5th go-round, and wanted to mention the cool flute solo.

jptjptjpt and Loren, this is super. Great vocal and instrumentation, i.e. that flute was super. Great harmonies also. This had a happy go luck, care free feeling through out.
Excellent work!

Dear 'HearToLearn', 'BabuMusic' and 'MarioD'... 'HereToLearn', I'm glad you found the song to be such an upbeat listening experience . I figured it was the best approach to composing music for a song that dealt with someone threatening to commit suicide to demonstrate his love for his partner . 'BabuMusic', that was lotta listening you did !!! Thanks for your enthusiasm. 'MarioD', I appreciate your comments . What you heard is what happens when you're given some inspiring lyrics to compose music for !!! Thanks, again, all . LOREN

Very good opening lines! The vibe is warm upbeat and carried as much by Loren`s excellent vocal as that infectious reggae beat. Nice ad libs to close out a very enjoyable collaboration. Well done.

We've been a bit of ska/reggae fans for many years and how cool to hear this on the forum.
As mentioned your warm soulful vocal is perfecto for this genre.
And lyrically and melodically it is square in the middle of the genre ballpark.
Upbeat and fun. Two words yep. But they mean a LOT.
Great collab you two...oh, forgot to mention. Nice mix!

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."
