Hi all,
Here's a french song.
My friend Christian Braut is singing.

https://soundcloud.com/christian-devienne/ma-vie-dantan

Here's an approximate translation :

The house seems lifeless
At least that's what we say to ourselves
My body is at Père Lachaise
But my soul remains in this chair
Waiting for the return
Of my soul mate
She who’s gone one day
Breaking my heart

And I hear children's laughter
Some crying and barking
I feel the warmth of my home
That fate granted me
Even though my life was beautiful
My soul is waiting
That reborns in a spark
My old life

Even though my life was beautiful
My soul is waiting
That reborns in a spark
My old life

A beautiful song, no question. The style and instrumentation is perfect. Perhaps the vocals are a little too much out in front.

Nevertheless, this is a beautiful presentation.

A nostalgic vibe with a modern twist.

The RT's and music mix are excellent. The vocal might be a bit forward, but no matter, the performance is excellent and a perfect match for the song.

I like this a lot.

Chris, I loved the point-of-view, and now I know what Pere Lachaise is--did you author the lyrics? They are really first-rate. Were you inspired by walking through the cemetary?

I like the very upfront, almost whispering vocal--I think this can be very hard to pull off from a mixing standpoint, but I think it fits for the meditative theme of your song.

Very nice chord movement and instrument selection.

Liked it alot!

Hello Chris37,

Nice words. The timbre of the voice fits in perfectly. Soft composition in its arrangement and with its nostalgic side.

Kindly regard

Romantic feel.
Well done!

Although I've never visited France nor do I speak the language, I struck up a relationship with a fine French musician.
She and I collaborated on several songs and shared song writing ideas.
She unexpectedly passed away and left me feeling empty.

Thanks for bringing back those nice memories.

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."
