Beautiful vocals. Really enjoyed listening! I cannot say much about the instrumental parts, because you didn't write anything about who did what. I thought we were supposed to do that, but good to know that I don't have to do that in the future.  Thanks for sharing! Will Thanks Will!! I do have the bad habit of not putting the tracks on......I'll try to improve on that. Take care. Greg

Will ...
If you go to my comment, the 3rd or 4th on from the original post, I listed which tracks I used for the background music. And yes ...Greg wrote a gorgeous lyric and, as always, sings like a bird.
Best to you. Take care and be safe ...
Alan Thanks Alan! It was a pleasure! You have a way to write inspiring music with good "bands"! Take care. Greg

Hi Greg,
A beautiful song and so nicely sung. 'Like a bird' as Alan wrote. That is so true!
Alan did a good job as well on the 'background' with the band.
It really was a joy listening to, only one minute too short!
Hans Thanks Hans! Always enjoy your tunes!! Take care. Greg

Alan & Greg,
Excellent teamwork!
I have a soft spot for this kind of music, where I can just fall back, relax and listen. Not boring pop yet not overcomplicated jazz, this tune is just perfect for the genre. From musical composition to lyrics to vocals, beautiful all the way! Thank you for sharing.
Misha. Thanks so much Misha! Your last post was a sonic delight!! Take care. Greg

Totally agree with you about Al David's inspirational influence. Man, you take that influence to such a magically high level of achievement, Greg. Man, if I could sing like you, that's probably all I'd do all day long. Well, may not; I'm not terribly fond of musicals. Great song here, Greg. And a wonderful presentation.

Rather unsurprisingly this is a lovely song, beautifully sung and composed. A rich pro sound throughout.
True talent from you and Alan.
Wonderful.
Peter Thanks so much Peter!! Much appreciated! Take care. Greg

Greg & Alan,
Such a lovely melody and with sweetly sad lyrics, a fine vocal and very cool arrangement, this is a song that soaks in ...a very, very good collaboration!
Robert Thanks so much for your kind words Robert! Take care. Greg

User Tip: How to add drum fills without changing any other tracks
MarioD has shared some great advice when it comes to adding drum fills without changing any other tracks in your song:
There have been a number of questions asking how to add drum fills without changing any other tracks in a song. This is especially important if one is holding a chord for a few measures and wants to add a drum fill prior to the next chord. The following is how to accomplish that:
1-get the instruments/tracks to play like you want but don't worry about the drums for now.
2-generate the song.
3-freeze all tracks
4-unfreeze the drum track
5-add your fills where you want them
6-generated the song again - note this will only generate the drum track and not the frozen tracks
7- when you get the drums like you want them freeze the track

Review - Band-in-a-Box® 2023 for Windows is Overflowing with Features!
Dennis posted his very thorough Band-in-a-Box® review recently, where he dives into some of the new features added with version 2023: Sound-Guy's Band-in-a-Box Review
Read his thoughts on the Download & Install Manager, partial track regeneration, Playable RealTracks, Audio Editing, the addition of SynthMaster, the VST DAW Plugin, and more!
"Band-in-a-Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is, without negative connotation, a monster of a program. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. No DAW can do some of the things BIAB does, while BIAB can do a lot that DAWs do."
