She Doesn't Want Me to Dance I had this song about 80% finished, was working on the chorus, and needed a hook. I'm a big joker at home and often partake in mock Jerry Lewis rhythmic ambulations about the house. After engaging in these shenanigans, I'll say to my wife, "Let's go out dancing tonight." She always deadpans, "No." Thie last time she said that, I realized I had my hook. Tracks: RT2929 Guitar, Acoustic, Rhythm PopFunkyJoe RT2933 Guitar, Acoustic, Fingerpicking SongwriterFolkSlap RT697 Guitar, Electric, Rhythm ElecRockDirty RT650 Guitar, Electric, Rhythm PopRockBritHeavy RT1722 Guitar, Electric, Soloist TexasBluesRockStraight RT1008 Bass, Electric, ElecRock Ev The drum track is spliced together from various loops. Lyrics She’s the rain on the meadow She’s the light behind each shadow When the night comes crawling And she keeps me awake Into my heart she’s falling She says we’ll take a morning break She’s something else She puts me in a trance She says she loves me But she doesn’t want me to dance She’s the moon in my passion She’s the fabric of all fashion When the night comes crawling And she keeps me awake Into my heart she’s falling She says we’ll take a morning break She’s something else She puts me in a trance She says she loves me She doesn’t want me to dance

Hi Scott
I'll leave the analysis to the experts, but I really like this one.
After my first listen I immediately cued it up again.
Regards,
Leon

Crawlin’...fallin’...loves how you “wobbled” those in the melody.
Really interesting selection of guitar RTs..gave it great texture.
Liked the stops you used.
Vocals++
Your wife has got to share the royalties on this one!

The spoken tag was worth the price of admission  We could envision the Lewis ambulations. The band is a cool RT genre mashup and well backed your rousing well delivered vocal. (Janice provided "rousing!") Nice use of the drum loops also. Fun! J&B

Ezekiel's Storm,
I hope your wife still likes you... On a bright side, this secret solo dance is great!
Clever lyrics! Very well put together. A lot of spontaneous details, but makes a whole. Vocals are A+. Thank you for sharing!
Misha.

Hi Scott,
This is a cool arrangement. I really liked you vocals. They hearkened back to the 80's, kind of a Simple Minds sort of vibe. As a matter of fact, if you posted on here, "Hey, listen to this old Simple Minds song." I would have believed you!
Thanks for posting it, I enjoyed listening to it.
Also, at least you're able to dance like Jerry Lewis, who had SOME rhythm, I'm not even at that level... Ha!

It's a cool, amusing well constructed song. the vocal and melody are ace but the way the vocals is split L & R with no presence in the centre of the image weirded me out a bit.
In my head phones the vocal is mainly in the left channel with some image in the other...sounds a bit like the imbalance that many, many ADT plug ins cause.
Nevertheles --- cool

Very Haight-Ashbury to me, liked how the lead guitar didn't step on the vocal. And your singing was terrific as usual. Great trip back in time for me.

Cool song. The vocals are very rich. They remind me of mix between Neil Diamond and David Bowie. Great use of the band.

Excellent work. Thanks, Mario. I've been meaning to tell you that I love your tag/signature line on your posts. Ezekiel's Storm,

My wife had a good laugh when I played her this song. Thanks, Misha. Hi Scott,

Thanks for posting it, I enjoyed listening to it.
Also, at least you're able to dance like Jerry Lewis, who had SOME rhythm, I'm not even at that level... Ha! Keep dancing, Bawb! If Elaine Bennis can do it, so can you! It's a cool, amusing well constructed song. the vocal and melody are ace but the way the vocals is split L & R with no presence in the centre of the image weirded me out a bit.
In my head phones the vocal is mainly in the left channel with some image in the other...sounds a bit like the imbalance that many, many ADT plug ins cause.
Nevertheles --- cool Thanks, Ray. I used Waves Reel ADT, but used the stereo plug-in instead of the mono.

I always like hearing about the story behind the song.
I'm not crazy about some of the earlier guitar fills, but that section starting around 3:14 is sweet!
I get a David Bowie vibe from this. Good mix and vocals. Enjoyed it.

RealBand® Works Great in Windows® 11!
Here's an introductory look at RealBand® running on the preview version of Windows® 11!
Watch the video.
Customers LOVE Band-in-a-Box® 2021!
Check out some of the latest Band-in-a-Box® feedback we've received:
"There's a saying 'Give a man a fish, feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, feed him for a lifetime.' That's exactly what my friend did in 1990. He taught me how to use BIAB and I've used it hundreds of time to do arraignment and to jam with any style band."
"Love BIAB. I use it daily. Their support is great too!"
"RealTracks are amazing!!! I use BIAB for backtracks in my solo act... Still using the basic package and it's all need..."
"I have used Band in A Box for many years. If it would have been around when I was young, I would have been a much better musician. I use it for all my songs I have written and recorded. With Band In A Box I can sit in my room and sound like a whole band without having to put up with them!"
"If you know something about music and take the time to learn the program, you can make it do some amazing things. It is a great help to songwriters who want to demo their song without paying for studio time. It makes changes and tweaks much easier as well."
"Been using it for so many years. It's a great tool. The instruments that I don't have or play make up the void and it saves so much time. I use this program for every song I write."
"Great tool for the songwriter!"
"An essential part of my studio! I write songs on piano, but I'm not a pianist by a long way. BIAB is like having a roomful of session players in your studio, and just the simple act of taking your basic idea and hearing a skilled pianist play it presents so many new ideas and options you hadn't thought of."
"Powerful, easy to use, inexpensive and they even split the modest payments up if you want. No complaints. Lots of satisfaction."
"I added a steel guitar to a fully produced original. He followed every change like he was in the studio reading the chart. Fascinating technology!"
"I have used it to make backing tracks for six CD's with about 12 songs on each. They make a great gift!"
"It's simply a necessity - buy it now - the staff and support do a great job as well!"
"A great tool for us songwriters!"
"I LOVE Band-in-a-Box!"
"I see it as a very worthwhile investment. In fact, from initial purchase about 8 years ago, using the backing tracks I have made, my income from that investment has returned over 5,000% on the investment!"
continued...
Do you have something to say about Band-in-a-Box®? Post your own thoughts for Windows or Mac version today!
Band-in-a-Box® - Boxing Clever - Sound on Sound #TBT
Did you know that Band-in-a-Box® is more than 30 years old? I stumbled across this 1990 magazine article explaining the relatively new program, and think it's an enjoyable read for any Band-in-a-Box user - it really shows that we are always listening to user feedback when developing our program!
Read the article: Boxing Clever: Band-In-A-Box Software
A few of my favorite statements:
"The intention of PG Music's Band-In-A-Box package is to couple that speed and convenience with the improved flexibility of the personal computer. Versions are available for the Atari ST, Mac, and PC compatibles. Have the programmers succeeded? And can they rid themselves of the stigma of the auto-accompaniment section? Given the above state of affairs, the first hurdle that the program has to overcome is one of acceptance and, frankly, a name like 'Band-In-A-Box' is a bad start."
(I think our name was a great start!)
"The final results are, to say the least, impressive. Band-In-A-Box achieves something that most hardwired auto-accompaniment sections have never been able to do - inject a degree of feel into the music. It really does sound more human than so many of the computer generated pieces I've heard."
"...I'm quite convinced that PG Music will have a winner on their hands. This is one piece of software that you can get more out of than you put in."
