TuneMonger,
Sweet, sad song—nice vocal by Marcus, and strong write with some nice lines, particularly those first four in the second verse, both good examples of a relationship drifting apart. The dreamy solo guitar really adds something to the tune—lovely. Great collaboration—enjoyed it!
All my best,
Deej

Very delicate lyrics, beautiful melody and chording, like a lost classic from the 70's, reminds me of Elton John. Great emotional singing. I like how the piano is mixed distant, it gives the song a live living room feeling.

what a sad lyric! (without being maudlin). A good write. Really interesting chord progression. It makes that Country BAND sound like they want to break into some jazz (because of that, I thought the Nashville Even8 drums were a bit "stiff" for the song). I was actually hoping that we would hear you singing this... You really kept my interest throughout. Nicely mixed. fj

An excellent lyric getting the subtlety of a relationship going down ; I enjoyed the sad soul searching! The vocalist sounds very good and nails the jazzy tinged melody... I guess the latter element I expected to come more to the fore as the song developed; the guitar break is sweet just when I was thinking there`d be horns. Never mind my expectations- this is really good work!

Interesting turn, Tunemonger. Vocals do have a lot of presence, but it goes in well. I like the fact that you incorporating different singers. Listening to two of your songs, I would never had guessed they are written by one person Excellent arrangement and lyrics. Thank you for sharing. Misha.

Good vocal--very expressive voice.
Very pleasing melody. I like the 70s soulful love song feel of this.

Nice song Tunemomger. Sad, but good, lyrics: "We cross each other up so much As fading lovers do Unsure of all the steps to take In the dance they bid adieu". The vocalist did a great job too. Thanks for sharing. Mike

Very nice composition (sort of like a Dan Fogelberg song)with some nice changes.
The vocalist did a good job and it all sounds very good.

Man, there's a lot to like here.
The progressions, the write and the vocalist are all excellent as is the mix.
The lyric is an excellent love lost theme that avoids all the cliches and overly angsty vocals. And that dreamy guitar is perfect.
Outstanding!

Lovely narrative, melody and vocal tone. The kick drum really doesn't fit the feel though - it's more click & batter than thump. That can be addressed by EQ - it's a problem wit most RealDrums now. Lovely stuff.

Hi Tunemonger,
Beautifully done. Love the chord sequence and instrumentation.
The solo was sublime - understated but just right.
Fabulous vocal and emotive lyrics.
All wrapped up in an excellent mix.
Thoroughly enjoyed.
ROG.

Thanks to all who've commented about By the Way. I'm glad the chord progression was singled out, it's a good one that's been used often before I borrowed it. FJ and ray, thanks for the drum tips, I'm looking into that now. Thanks, MikeG, for quoting my favorite lyric line in the song, that made my day! I think my mixes are getting better, nobody dinged me there. Again, thanks for criticisms of any kind, I always give them a lot of consideration. ---Bob Millard AKA Tunemonger

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."
