Hello Al-David,
Beautiful instrumental composition. The guitar is used very well. The rhythm is pleasant and the mix well done. It is not always easy to be selected where there is competition and introduction by friends of friends.
Kindly regard

Hi Alan,
Sorry for your loss, life can sometimes be so difficult. Bet your brother would have really liked it. I like the upbeat and strong feeling it gives. Nice!!

Sounds like a solid TV theme to me, another winner from you. I lost my brother a year ago, I keep thinking he's still here, then I realize he's not. Know how you feel.

alias JaniJackFlash Hi Dero ... I sincerely appreciate your very nice comments. I've been in the music business since 1964 and fully aware of the competition ... I've had a number of submissions not selected. But, on the other hand, I've been fortunate to have 27 songs get selected for a variety of projects. The rejections don't really bother me ... just part of the business. Again, many thanks for the kind words. Wishing you the very best. Please be safe. Alan

HI TM ... First, so sad to hear about your brother. Sincere condolences from Di and me. We've buried three of our children, so we're no strangers to loss of close loved ones. But we continue to move on with our lives. Yet, the tragedy is always there. We just find the least uncomfortable place to put it. I appreciate your very kind words and constant support. It means a lot. Always love your posts!!! Wishing you the very best. Be safe ... Alan

You've really created an inspiring and uplifting song. Some songs seem to speak to you, even when you don't know what they are saying, and this one certainly achieves that. Really great.

Hi Alan,
I'm just working my way through the forum. It's been quite a while since I sat down and spent any serious time in here.
I'm so sorry and saddened to read about your brother. My condolences for your loss. Even though we all know how life works, and that it's a journey that begins and ends, it doesn't soften the blow of losing those we love.
I'm so glad that this work of yours is up near the top of the posts. When I saw your name, it was a magnet that pulled me into this thread.
It's very refreshing to come back after an absence and to hear your music. Your competence still shines through and through. What I always like about your songs is that you compose and assemble your arrangements with all the finesse of a band master. You know exactly what goes where to achieve the results you want... what sound is needed here, what chord is needed there, what nuances will lift the aural texture to the next level, etc., etc. As someone less skilled in this arena, I seriously admire what you do.
Thank you for taking me on yet another delightful musical journey.
Please say hi to Di for me. I hope that things are sailing along on calm, blue waters for you both.
All the best,
Noel

So sorry to hear about your brother. May he truly rest in peace.
This is a punchy track that keeps one's attention throughout ... great guitar melodic lines throughout that come out from the background, yet well mixed so they blend with it. I genuinely like this a lot. Great job - like someone said on SoundCloud, you're so versatile, too ... every time you post a track, I have no idea what genre it will be like, purely because of your versatility. This is no exception. Well done.

Thank you so much for your very nice words. When a song speaks to someone in any fashion, a composer couldn't ask for much more. I appreciate that very much. Best to you. Take care and be safe ...

Noel Hi Noel ... Not really sure what to say after reading such a wonderful litany of kind comments. I am both humbled and pleased with your comments. All I can say is, as far as "assembling" the various pieces of the production, it all just seems to come to me naturally. I do not fret and worry over that aspect very much as I know it will come to me in time. Although selecting the various tracks/RTs might take some time due to the many available options, it's not particularly challenging in most cases, although there have been a few exceptions to that. The most difficult and time-consuming part, for me, is the mix. As I think you know, I do not use a DAW or any third party options. If it cannot be found and/or modified on the BIAB chord input page or in Audacity, it won't happen. I do spend a fair amount of time tweaking the various tracks on the chord input page. If you looked at the song and bar settings used in the chord input page, it would probably boggle your mind! I was so happy to see you commenting on the forum! I told Di last week that I'd not seen you on the PG Music Forums in quite a while and was hoping all was well with you. So nice to have you back for whatever time you can give us! Wishing you and yours all the very best. Please take care and be safe ... Alan PS: Di is waving and says "Hello, Noel!"

I guess I'm so versatile because I like and enjoy so many different genres of music. And, like most things in life that I enjoy, I won't to be a participant in them. And I spend many hours experimenting with the seemingly unending possibilities offered by Band In A Box. Again , thank you very much. Please care and be safe ... Alan

Hi Alan,
I am sure that TV talent show doesn't excist anymore? They would if they'd chosen this tune. Very nice and, as others said, 'highly energetic' and still very melodic. The band performed very well and the mix is very good. You did that mix yourself?
Also as others said, sorry for your loss, Alan! Was your brother also making music. It looked like he did, on the picture.
Stay safe you and Di,
Hans

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."
