Happy New Year forum friends!! Here's to hoping '21 is better. Listened to a lot of great stuff over the past week and will continue to catch up. This song is a tribute to an old friend. We were college roommates. He was warm, charismatic, and funny as hell. He was also extremely wild and out of control at times. Around 2016, I looked him up on Facebook after not having seen him for more than a decade. The song pretty much tells the story better than I can in a narrative form. He apparently was killed as a pedestrian in Oklahoma City. I'm guessing some kind of chemical alteration was involved. So sad. I will always love him. Always love to hear what you think. Will post the lyrics soon. Take care.

Killer song! A great tribute to a close friend. When you dropped the drums it was very effective. The organ gives it a spiritual feel. Expertly written and beautifully sung. I’ve been a fan for several years now. This is your best. So very glad to have listened, Tom

Greg ..
Simply said - you are a very special talent. Your talent leaves an indelible and worthy footprint where ever it touches. Some folks make music. Some folks make fabulous music. Some folks make music that's simply superb. They all have one thing in common : they aspire to equal your talent that produces the element of near-perfection.
You've turned 6 of my pretty okay songs into pieces of musical magic with your added musical fairy dust. I hope we can do that again sometime soon.
You fully understand the true voice of the human soul and the muses of the human heart like no one else I've heard. And this song is just one more piece of evidence to validate that claim. Simply amazing, my friend.
Nothing but the warmest greetings from both of us.
Akan & Di

Greg,
sad and beautiful tribute. You definitely have talent for soft pop tunes with jazz flavor. Excellent composition and vocals! Mix is very clear. I had no trouble of understanding lyrics.
Thank you for sharing,
Misha.
P.S. I have lost a very special (and musical) friend from my youth some years back. Still very saddened by it, but a lot of good memories still live and I hope will stay with me for a long time.

Terrific melody and lyrics. A hell of a way to learn about the demise of a good friend, but I guess that is social media's effect. As always, your superb voice set the mood. Liked the organ. Great production. As good as it gets!

Using floyd's Jackson Browne theme the only thing missing was David Lindley playing along.

Great opening lines. Dang, I'm only finished with the 1st verse, and I'm tingling. Greg, you know what a fan I am of all you do, and whenever I get the time to come to the forum, I hope there'll be a new Greg Johnson song. Man, this is emotional. Wait. Haha. When the song ended a ad came on" "Oooo, a fondue set..." Well, that gave me another reason to listen again.

Beautiful song Greg. So sorry for your loss. I too lost a very close friend from my youth. I was lucky in that we had reconnected after 35 years. He died a few months later. Broke my heart. Your lyrics were pulling on my heart strings. Well done

Oh my God.
First of all, so sorry for your loss. Nothing I could say about it would be suitable, so I won't say anything else.
The song is extraordinary. By far your best (for want of a better word).
I can't really articulate what this song has made me feel, so let me tell you why, if that's ok. I had a very good friend in college who also passed away a few years ago, at the age of only 33. Left behind three children and her husband. I also found out on Facebook. One night, she was there ... then, the next morning her husband posted about her passing.
I wish I could have written half the song you wrote about your friend for my friend and her family (I did do a musical tribute for them, but that's neither here nor there). Your song is so heartfelt and ... wow. Thank you so, so much for sharing.

Love everything about this song -arrangement, production, vocals and especially the lyrics. There are so many standout lines. I thought this was one of the best:

Take care

Sorry to hear about your old friend. Facebook has brought to light the demise of friends I had back in school. Without FB, I think I'd still be wondering, ,"Whatever happened to so and so?"
Absolutely beautiful song. Well crafted. Well sung.

Greg,
A sweet sad song, made all the more compelling by your superb execution. Wonderfully done. And I love, absolutely love your use of the organ on this—expertly done; sits just right where it needs to be in the mix. Sweet tune!
Kind regards,

I don't get onto the User Showcase very often, but thought I would today. Your song title caught my eye...kinda of in a melancholy mode today.
Wow, your song brought back some memories buried deep. I forgot how much I missed those guys. Your song brought them back.
Thank you

Jackson Browne has already been mentioned but the connection is obvious and always a good thing.
It's always easy to say "my new fav" and move on but with this production if not our absolute fav it
certainly ranks up there with the best you've done.
The tribute is moving and your vocal conveys the emotion well w/o being over the top angsty.
The production is of the open airy feel that we so love -- and strive for.
Exceptionally well done Greg!

Lovely song. Your voice sells it with warmth and compassion.
Facebook did jump out of the lyric...not sure if it was being so specific or just the sound of it that startled me.
Cheers

A giant WOW. Color me "floored".
The BAND is great. Excellent production.
The vocal is, of course, stellar (as all of yours are).
The writing is beyond belief. As good as it gets. (Better than "Song For Adam")
Why you aren't at the top of the Billboard charts is a mystery.
fj Thanks so much Floyd!!! A compliment like that from you is an ounce of gold in my songwriter bank!! And "Song for Adam" is a classic. I fell in love with that song when I was 16, and such a comparison is truly humbling! Take care my friend! Greg

I'm late to the party but I'm extremely glad I got to listen to this one. What a great tribute to a friend. Your vocal is outstanding, I can feel your pain. Your instrumentation is spot on, love that guitar lead, and your mixing skills are second to none.
Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up.
Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

There are plenty of songs that I don't catch all the lyrics. Either the vocals are obscured in the mix, or the singer isn't clear.
That's not the case here. I understand Every. Single. Word.
And it sounds effortless, because the arrangement stays out of the way, and supports unobtrusively.
Vocal front and center, because your voice is always the best part of these songs.
Listening to this is like listening in on an intimate conversation.
Excellent lyrics: conversational language, honest and to the point.
As floyd jane said, this shares the same elements as classic Jackson Browne songs.
Lovely song.

Hey Greg, good to hear one of your songs again.
You're kind of the forum's own Don Henley. Both of you write songs that are beautiful and terrible at the same time, and people love them in spite of the sweet damage they do to our souls.
You are also both masters of the clever lyric... like your line about looking for ways to see life in any way except how it really is. Reminds me of the line in Desperado about "some fine things have been laid upon your table, but you only want the ones that you can't have"
Come to think of it, your voice even has a similarity to Henley's.
All that aside, let's get back to this song. So sorry to hear about your friend. Your vocals are those of a teen. It makes me happy that the years of musical experience didn't steal the youthful qualities of your voice. I'm so envious.
I kind of expected you to be famous by now. What's the holdup??? I've been away for 2 years

I can't really articulate what this song has made me feel, so let me tell you why, if that's ok. I had a very good friend in college who also passed away a few years ago, at the age of only 33. Left behind three children and her husband. I also found out on Facebook. One night, she was there ... then, the next morning her husband posted about her passing.
I wish I could have written half the song you wrote about your friend for my friend and her family (I did do a musical tribute for them, but that's neither here nor there). Your song is so heartfelt and ... wow. Thank you so, so much for sharing. Thanks so much James!! Really appreciate your kind words, and your song posts! Take care. Greg

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option
Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!
Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!
For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.
Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.
Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!
Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.
Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

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."
