Spend This World For this song, I had to channel my inner teen.  I wanted to write from the perspective of a teen/young adult, so I tried to recall my thought processes as a high school student in the 70s. Like it or not, this is what I came up with. I hope the age of my voice doesn't ruin the presentation of the song. Tracks: RT2583 Guitar, Electric, Rhythm Punk RT2584 Guitar, Electric, Rhythm PunkMuted RT2585 Guitar, Electric, Rhythm PunkHeldPlus RT997 Guitar, Electric, Rhythm HardRockLACrispArp RT699 Guitar, Electric, Rhythm ElecRockDirty RT2586 Guitar, Electric, Soloist PunkMurray RT2589 Bass, Electric, PunkFuzz Virtual Guitarist Iron Drums are from spliced loops (royalty-free, of course) Lyrics: They put me here For thinking about you The put me here What are they gonna do I’m waiting for the walls They put here Cause I don’t wanna They put me here Cause I’m gonna I’m waiting for the walls to come crashing down. Nothing will take me away from you ever We’re gonna spend this world together They put me here Cause they don’t know The put me here To put on a show I’m waiting for the walls to come crashing down. Nothing will take me away from you ever We’re gonna spend this world together Clowns lurking on the forest edges Gnomes living in your mama’s hedges Stone skipping by the old school Midnight dipping in your kiddie pool I’m waiting for the walls I’m waiting for the walls to come crashing down Nothing will take you away from me ever We’re gonna spend this world together They put me here To put on a show They put me here Cause they don’t want to know

Scott,
He`s alive in there- that teen I mean, and the old guy who listened to all those 80`s bands ( I hardly did, but I`m thinking Cheap Trick?).
I like the whole thing, but my favourite part is the lyrics on the bridge:
Clowns lurking on the forest edges
Gnomes living in your mama’s hedges
Stone skipping by the old school
Midnight dipping in your kiddie pool
nice...there`s a story or two behind that.
Robert

This is cool - your vocal is one of your best.
I think the guitars in the verses are too fizzy/metal but that's becasue the RealTracks labelled punk are more 90's punk than late 70s. If you tried to defizz them with EQ you'd end up with blunt blah.
This song pushes and rocks, the bass and drums are spot on as, like I mentioned, the voice.

 Yeah, as mentioned that inner teen can rock! I (Bud) can relate to this but from the 60's. Another decade same angst. Janice just smiled when I typed that  We always liked connect your own dots lyrics when there are the "right" amount of dots and this one is perfecto. We've always been fans of your vocals and this one is so full of energy ... which is necessary for that hard pumping very well done production. As Janice says, "never grow up it's a trap." Hmmm..a hook perhaps. In summary it is FUN to hear some hard driving rock on the board! J&B

Hi Ez ...
As I listened, I considered lengthening my sideburns and letting my hair grow! But ... I didn't. Definitely 70's rock. My rock era was the 60s ... I'm an old fart. Will be 74 on my next birthday. Yikes!!!!
Love that clipped ending ... the perfect punctuation for the hard drive along the way. Your inner teen thrives!
Best to you. Be safe ...
Alan

Hello Ezekiel's Storm,
It's good rock. The voice fits well with the rhythm without being aggressive despite the content of the lyrics. The mix is good.
Best regard

Great sounds, Ezekiel. Outstanding lyrics and your vocal is PERFECT. Sounds so much better than some young punk trying to pull it off.  "Clowns lurking on the forest edges Gnomes living in your mama’s hedges Stone skipping by the old school Midnight dipping in your kiddie pool" You, too, huh?

Sounds like 80s new wave to me and your vocal is perfect for it. Great work!

Where in the world did they put you? As manic as this is, I wouldn't be surprised by any answer. Great fun with an angsty soul. Sounds really good with an effective stereo spread. And it definately put me back (in feel, if not style) to my high school days, remembering the forever love of my life. Sweet...Whatzer Name.

You were some youngster!
Nice energetic song. Very pleasant listening to. Old days reviving with this...
I only had one objection; "We’re gonna spend this world together" is not a good thing for the world, is it?

"Clowns lurking on the forest edges Gnomes living in your mama’s hedges Stone skipping by the old school Midnight dipping in your kiddie pool" I see I'm not the only one that picked that particular set of lyrics Very cool indeed. The 70's ... a special time indeed! Many fond memories. Outstanding track from start to finish, well done.

A Look Back... Band-in-a-Box® 2015 NAMM Demonstration #TBT
Watch Tobin (and Charlie!) demonstrate Band-in-a-Box® 2015 for Windows at the 2015 NAMM Show: Play video...
Tobin does a great job of showing just how easy it is to create a song with Band-in-a-Box!
This video was posted on January 23, 2015 to the Keyboard Instrument Chops and Gear YouTube Channel.

Ordering Your Band-in-a-Box® is Easy!

Even if you choose to have a backup copy of your Band-in-a-Box® packages shipped, you'll still have the download links available to you - no need to wait!
We've made it even easier to get started with Band-in-a-Box® with the Easy Payment Plan 4 - when you choose this payment option you'll pay four equal monthly payments starting on the day of your order.

Note: This only applies to this Band-in-a-Box product, and does not apply to other products that you might have in your order, including the physical backup copy if selected.
Band-in-a-Box® File Associations
You may have noticed when you were installing Band-in-a-Box® for Windows that you were asked if you would like to Associate Band-in-a-Box songs and styles with Band-in-a-Box? But, what does that mean?
It's actually pretty simple - basically, if you select this option while you're installing the program, files with the extensions .SGU, .MGU, and other Band-in-a-Box files will open directly in the program if you select them from outside the program.
Missed this option during your setup, but you'd like to apply it now? Go to File | File Utilities | Associate File types with Explorer within the program.

Ear Training Games in Band-in-a-Box® for Windows
October 1, 2021 is National Kids Music Day!
Head to the Practice Window in Band-in-a-Box® for Windows, and you'll see fun games that are fun ear training options for kids: Music Replay & Pitch Invasion.
Of course, you don't have to be a kid to like these games, I think there a fun way to learn at any age!
Music Replay is just what it sounds like - the program plays a 1-bar melody, and the user plays it back. Get it right, and you'll keep building that melody (and skill) within the game - get it wrong, and you'll be met with a warning tone and have to try again... it's quite addictive, and a lot of fun!
If you like a classic arcade game, then you'll love Pitch Invasion! We've managed to incorporate aliens with pitch-recognition skills in this exciting game, where you'll match the pitch of the alien ship descending towards your planet trying to destroy your collection of instruments - match the pitch and you've saved your instruments, make a mistake and the ship keeps coming... you'll have a few tries to get it right, if you're quick, but if all your instruments are destroyed - it's game over! The game speeds up as your skills improve, and you'll earn points along the way, with bonus points available throughout the game.
Open up your Band-in-a-Box® for Windows today to give it a try!
These ear training games are also included in Musical Arcade for Windows.
