Deej,

Very nice tune!
Your vocal overwhelms me.
The guitar sound is very comfortable.
Moreover, the melody is very pop.
I feel some nostalgia and early Beatles in this tune.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

Hi Deej,

You made a very cool, catchy song, but already everyone here told you so. It is difficult to write anything more complimentary than has already been done!
Your choice for the band has been very successful, given your hesitations.
But, although its a very good song, I prefer your slower songs, because your way of singing them is way more emotional and gives me goosebumps.

You've done it again - hats off.

First of all, this made me grin from beginning to end ... what inspired lyrics :-) And the production is top, top notch ... the music complements the lyrics perfectly, the singing is up to your usual stellar standard, the mixing (not my territory) is excellent ... excellent job! Well done.

Deej,

Excellent. In all regards.

I agree with the influences mentioned so far - Springfield, Petty... I'd add other great Radio Pop Rock folks - Joe Jackson, Elvis Costello, The Knack, Huey Lewis...

An excellent write for the genre. Could have easily hit the radio in days gone by...(again - your strongest stuff is self-penned)

Terrific production - great use of BIAB.

You are hitting all cylinders here. Super. More like this!!

Almost classic 80s power pop - it only needs a little more top end on the bass to get there.
Terrific song and top notch vocals.


Cheers

Shigeki, Hans, musician17, Floyd, Greg, and rayc:

First off, my apologies for the delayed reply and thanks. I've been away from the board a bit, lost in some other things, but didn't quite realize for how long. I almost hesitated to respond not wanting to bump the song after all this time . . . but that didn't quite seem right either. Please know I really appreciate the listen and the kind words. I'm glad you enjoyed the tune.

I hope you are each doing well and staying safe!

My kindest regards to each of you,

Deej

I love the opening lyric!

Great vocal. This one would definitely be playing on my turntable if I had it in vinyl.

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

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."
