Well produced song. Killer guitar riff. I do hear The Beatles throughout. Good work to both of you.

Thanks J&B! I always appreciate your comments! Sorry for the monitor damage! I almost put a warning up about the loudness of the track. T

Torrey + David,
I am not the right guy to comment on spiritual context, but musically totally stunning!
I read reference to Beatles, but to me it sounded more like unreleased ELO track. Clever composition and very good playing! Congrats on this remake and thank you for sharing!

Misha.

Always love to hear tracks from either of you guys, and both together is a great treat!!! Now, at the beginning does that say "I buried Paul" or "Cranberry Sauce"?? This is a dynamite track throughout!! Vocals sound great!! 50 tracks? I could NOT handle that. GREAT STUFF guys!!! Take care. Greg

Thanks Misha! I never really listened to ELO much back in the day but maybe some of it still crept into my work! I appreciate you taking time to listen and comment! T

Thanks Greg! I have no idea what that is saying! I thought it would be a good tune for a little reversed audio and I can't remember what section I reversed. I appreciate your comments! T

Hey Torrey,

you said you don't hear the Beatles in this but I can't believe there wasn't an intentional homage to PAPERBACK WRITER... there are places near the beginning of the song where the word PAPER, the melody and the backing guitar are close enough to think instantly that's what you're shooting for.

Anyway, having said that:
I really like the way you presented the chorus. Very interesting harmonies that work. (when I say "interesting" it isn't always in a good way, but in this case it is). The way you have approached this song is so different from anything I would have thought to do that it just makes my jaw drop. Where on earth did THAT idea come from?? But the skill of the craftsman is in taking a bunch of pieces and combining them together into art.. and that, my friend, is what you have done here. I think this is an outstanding job of building a song out of various ideas presented via collaboration (something I have never learned to do to anyone's satisfaction)

The message of the song made me smile. Coming from a background of a church where everybody has a bible full of hand written notes, the idea that somebody would need a certain KIND of bible to write on seems totally believable to me. And you developed the theme credibly. Very impressed.

Some of the lyrics were laugh-out-loud funny... such as "to help him remember what he has done wrong" If religion is good at anything, its good at that.

Your ability to juggle 50 tracks and bring it to fruition without sounding like a dump truck of mud says a lot about your mixing skills.

I stopped hanging out on the forum around the time you joined, so I'm not real familiar with your work, but put my name on your list of fans. I will be watching for more from you.

Pat, I was being a bit facetious with the Beatles comment. Being a sort of "spoof " song i took a few liberties with getting close to some of their ideas on this one. Thanks for taking the time to listen and comment! I appreciate it! T

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.

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."
