So, this is the last song I will post for about a week. I'm going on vacation with my wife; we're going camping with our travel trailer and will be back sometime next Tuesday. Have a great rest of the week and weekend, everybody. Keep playing, recording, and sharing the great music, and as Peter Gannon says, "Have fun".

Lost In Timeby Christopher P. Werle and John E. Ford

Lost in time, lost in the mem'ry of all the love we share
Of hopes and dreams waiting to find me.
Lost in time lost in the feeling that greets me when you smile,
That warms my heart, now and forever. [to CHORUS]
CHORUS
Before I found you I knew I was bound to hold you close within my arms,
For all the world to see. Here we are in perfect harmony.
Lost in time, lost in the moments I share with you each day,
That lift me up, higher and higher. [to CHORUS]
BRIDGE
Always knew that we would be, celebrating you and me,
Never rose above you, I wanted just to say I love you.
Now I know, forever we will be...
Lost in time, lost in the mem'ry of all the love we share,
Of hopes and dreams, waiting to find me. [to CHORUS]
ENDING
Lost in time... Lost in time... Lost in time...

Since I’ve been teleworking since March 2020 (as a result of the Coronavirus pandemic), that has afforded me time at home to work on all the original songs my buddy Chris Werle and I (John Ford) have written. Chris wrote the lyrics, chords, and melody. I then transcribe it into notation, since Chris doesn’t read music. I then write the harmonies, most of the instrumental solos and/or counter melodies, arrange all the instruments, and put everything together.
All songs started in Band-in-a-Box (and some of them are over 20 years old). Then they were worked up in either PowerTracks Pro or RealBand. Since Chris and I live in different states now, I had to rely on previously recorded vocals and his guitar playing from old PowerTracks or RealBand .SEQ files. Because of limitations in RealBand with some VSTi’s, I did have to export the some of the MIDI tracks out of RealBand and render them to audio in Cakewalk (for those that RealBand didn’t render properly), after which I would bring the audio back into RealBand. But most of the songs and the final mix were exclusively rendered from RealBand.
My goal here is to post one song each day until all 26 of the songs have been posted. Some have been posted previously, but I have gone back and reworked all of them, so they are all new mixes and are different from what was originally posted.
Most of the songs are Christian in nature, so if that’s not your thing, that’s fine. But it’s our thing. So without further ado, here is the music.
