A shelter-in-place-inspired song.
https://soundcloud.com/rtk-iv/homebound

The lead guitar, right-side acoustic and vox are me. The rest, realtracks: Realbass700, Drums - Nashville Even 8, Keys - Synth 2364, Realguitars 367 and 368 and Cello - 3269

Homebound
c. 2020 JJW

I sit and watch the raindrops fall, waiting for someone to call
Clock ticking, a haunting sound
Homebound

Every day is a Sunday, like a never ending play
Specters in a ghost town
Homebound

Come if you want to, don't feel you have to
There’s nothing here to do, you’re not around
Things have changed, I get it
Let’s start again, let’s face it
We can try just a little bit, don't stand your ground

There’s only so much of me I can take
Just me and this house and the heartache
Another morning, alone I wake
I’m homebound
Count the cracks on the ceiling,
The wallpaper is peeling
It’s emptiness that I’m feeling
Homebound

Wish there was more that I could say
Would it matter anyway?
If I begged you some, would that be OK?
I’m upside down
Please come home, I need you now
Just one more chance if you’d allow
Wouldn't it be nice if we both could be
Homebound

The lead guitar in this is fantastic and fits in really well with the RealTracks. I loved the clever lyrics in this too, some great lines in it. Although I can't quite relate fully to all of them since I share my house with my 6 year old son, who doesn't give me any time at all to get sick of my own company!!!

Really enjoyed listening to this, thanks for sharing.

"everyday`s a Sunday"-that`s how I described my walks to my wife the other day!
I enjoyed the relaxed feel ( the electro flute fits that nicely) and your plaintive vocal.
The lead guitar is icing.
Well done.

I liked everything about this. Of course, I hear flutes like that and I think Strawberry Fields. But this had its own thing going on. Nice work!

I can't fully relate either! I'm home with the wife, adult daughter and two dogs. Lyrics are just a flight of fancy. Thanks for the listen.

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."
