A new song from Scott/Robert. This one started with a bluesy shuffle from Scott I nudged towards folk rock. To sum up the lyrics: "go West not so young man,even if its the last thing you do". Our newly minted Spirit Level survived a test here due to Scott`s unflappable nature and generous forgiveness of the late changes I threw at him: thanks pardner!!

Robert & Scott,
A very enjoyable song. Interesting lyrics, a really interesting melody.
A super cool sounding BAND. Very original sounding. And Scott's guitar fits in perfectly. Some of your best guitar work, I think.
A nice vocal, too. And a good mix. Cool song.
I like it.

Very good guys, you have developed your own signature sound I think.
You haven't done a song yet that I didn't like, keep them coming!

Very nice! I really like the lyrics, they paint a nice vivid picture.(I grew old, you pretended not to notice...)
I agree with Floyd, really nice guitar work. Love the intro. And your vocals sound great.
Thanks for sharing this.

A wonderful song with interesting story in the lyrics, and well sung, Robert. Man, Scott really lifts the whole production to a very polished level.

Evocative lyrics bouncing along to that very homey beat. Definitely a 60's 70's light rock vibe to my ears. I really enjoyed this.

fj Thanks Floyd; this is a nice Biab style to begin with, though I take the credit for adding the fiddle chops... and give Scott all honours for delivering such cool solos and support guitars. Very good guys, you have developed your own signature sound I think.
You haven't done a song yet that I didn't like, keep them coming! Dave, This lockdown has been quite productive for writing and focusing on music; we do have more coming! Very nice! I really like the lyrics, they paint a nice vivid picture.(I grew old, you pretended not to notice...)

I`m glad you got the story, Steve;thanks for your comments. Robert

Nice work all round, lyric, vocal, guitar (nice whammy) and overall production. Really nice melody on the chorus, and I enjoyed those harmonies.
Very strong work.

Marty, I thank you for that and agree- Scott came through (twice really as mentioned in the intro), blazing on this. Evocative lyrics bouncing along to that very homey beat. Definitely a 60's 70's light rock vibe to my ears. I really enjoyed this. My inspiration for the band sound came from a couple of celtic folk rock bands - The Waterboys & Runrig.I hope we captured a little of that feel. Thanks for your positive comments. Robert

David, I`m still not quite there with how to process vocals for the rock numbers, but I appreciate your likes on this. Robert

This is a very fine tune. The lyrics read like poetry. Beautiful vocals. I love the electric guitar. A well played electric guitar is my favorite instrument and this meets that definition.

"This one started with a bluesy shuffle from Scott I nudged towards folk rock. "
Yep, and a bit toward a melding of Jefferson Airplane and the Dead to our ears. Airplane in ambiance and the Dead with that bounce in the rhythm.
We really liked the write and particularly:
"I grew old you pretended not to notice taking you down dead end dirt roads please find enclosed it sticks in my throat my request not that I`m owed"
Your vocal delivers the whole feel very effectively and, man, that guitar is wonderful.
You guys have found a great niche on the showcase!
Enjoyed it.
J&B

Very enjoyable shuffle, the chorus is really nice and catchy, the solo is very beautiful. I can really feel the Celtic influences you mentioned and also I can hear Thin Lizzy, especially in Scott's guitar sound and playing. You have found your own style, I'm just amazed how much creative and very productive collaboration there's on this forum. I'm already waiting for your new songs Janne

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."
