I Wrote this tune in February when my mother passed away. This is a remake of it using Vocal Mms in Band in a Box. It is very simple just me singing vocals and playing the banjo part with Gospel lows Mms real track from Real Track 328. Key E 71 BPMs This was done in just a few minutes and is the first and only take of the remake. Enjoy , C. Dan Roberts https://soundcloud.com/countryjammer/my-mamas-song Here are the Lyrics: Here we weep.....as a million tear drops fall.. For you have departed....to the angels call... You have no pain....and your sorrow is gone.. Our Father in heaven....has finally taken you home.. We will never stop loving you...we hold you in our hearts And keep you in our hearts....and memories of our times And in our dreams....is where we will wait For the glorious day....we meet you at heaven's gate Though death has pulled...pulled us apart Time will heal......the aching of our hearts Where you are .....is where we will be Always know we love you ....for eternity Here we weep......as a million tear drops fall As you have departed.... to the angels call You have no pain....your sorrow is gone The Father in heaven...has finally taken you home

Good track, simple but effective, BGV created a drone effect. Nice work.

Simple is best with a tribute so close to deep feelings. I can hear most of the lyrics but it would be good to post them. The banjo and deep mms fit really well.

Hi Dan ...
So sorry to hear about your mother. You did a really nice tribute to her with this song. The simplicity is as it should be. The love and sentiment comes through clearly. Very nice, indeed.
Wishing you the very best. be safe ...

Here are the lyrics as I recorded the song although they are not as I wrote them..I wanted to play the song at mom's services and I sang the lyrics wrong. I ended up not using the song at the service..I just didn't have it in me..
Here we weep.....as a million tear drops fall.. For you have departed....to the angels call... You have no pain....and your sorrow is gone.. Our Father in heaven....has finally taken you home..
We will never stop loving you...we hold you in our hearts And keep you in our hearts....and memories of our times And in our dreams....is where we will wait For the glorious day....we meet you at heaven's gate
Though death has pulled...pulled us apart Time will heal......the aching of our hearts Where you are .....is where we will be Always know we love you ....for eternity
Here we weep......as a million tear drops fall As you have departed.... to the angels call You have no pain....your sorrow is gone The Father in heaven...has finally taken you home

Dan. It takes me to a room in a house where family are gathered in song. Very moving.

Very nice work with this one - I agree with Vic above me, it makes for a moving song. Very poignant lyrics, and a beautiful tribute. Thanks for sharing - she'd be proud
Cheers, Deryk

Nice tribute, sorry for your loss. Somewhat of a haunting sound. Like the banjo. Well done.

Realer than dirt. Styling that predates technology, still moved along with it. Really nice.

I like the idea of the bvox but they massage some of the authenticity away from the singing & playing. Your parts are excellent.

Hi Dan,
In times of sorrow a song like yours works out very well. No other instruments than one banjo. A leadvocal and a bg- choir humming with dark voices. No effects like reverb or whatsoevere. That is very nice to bring you in the mood this song was meant for. In a way it gave me goosebumps. So, a good song!

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."
