Sorry for the third song in quick succession posted on here. It seems I tend to work in bursts ... a few songs at once, then nothing for ages.

Anyway, here's my latest and probably (hopefully!) last one for a while now. Hope you enjoy and thank you for stopping by and listening and commenting - your feedback is always helpful and always welcome!

PRIORITY

A writer once wrote
That the most important thing in this world
Was not love

That sometimes some things take
Priority

What do you think? What do you see?

***

A reader once thought
That the most important thing in this world
Was indeed love

That sometimes certain things take
Priority ... and yet love

Remained his destiny ...

What do you feel?

***
In this world
Where we don't feel
Or come across
Anything real

Is love worth a try
For you and I
Or do some things
Come first in life?

What's on your mind?

***
Let me know,
So I may know
Which way to go ...

Let me know,
So I may see
Eternity

So I may know
If it is there
For you and me.

Or if other things
Take priority.

Nice write,
As I listened and read the lyrics, I was thinking this would be a great song for a big voice and personality like Barbara Streisand.

Beautiful message.

Lovely backtrack. Another excellent vocal. I agree with CaptainMoto. I think this could translate to a big vocal.

Very nice song. Love the lyrics. I think the voice suits the song perfectly. It has an intimate presence.

HI James ...

I've said this many times before but offer no apology for my redundancy: You are so good these spoken word songs. I always enjoy your work. You always pick the best backing tracks for your songs. A very provocative lyric that causes the listener to pause and think about what you just said. Another excellent track, my friend. Loved it!

Wishing you and yours the very best. Pleaese be safe ...

Alan

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

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."
