Thought I'd take a stab at singing in the high vocal register when I put this song together. The entire song was written in BIAB. Pandora Radio picked it up and with some of my other songs have put it in rotation. I don't think it's the best song I've ever done by a longshot but again someone asked "When do you know when you've written a good song?" In my opinion it's when the song resonates with an audience of strangers that don't know you but can connect with the song. Vocal performance is good but not great. I'd like to sing it again but oh well .. It's out now so no use in wondering about that :-)

MAKE UP YOUR MIND - Henry Clarke

https://pandora.app.link/UOeQ6ws8Edb

MAKE UP YOUR MIND (c)

1st Verse:
I've been waiting for a while, for you to decide,
So tell me so
Since ya came into my life, things just seem so right
am I the only one.

Change:
Said that you needed, time to think it through,
But I can't hold out much longer so tell me just what to do ----

Hook:
Maybe it's time
To make up your mind
maybe it's time
To make up your mind ---

2nd verse:
I been waiting for the day, to hear the words ya say,
I have no fear.
So don't make me beg tonight, I've tried with all my might
to make ya see it's you and me

Change:
I know he wants ya, we know it's true ---
But I need to know from you
so tell me just what can I do ----

HOOK:
Maybe it's time,
to make up your mind.
Maybe it's time,
to make up your mind.

SAX SOLO: 8 bars

Change:
You're one of a kind,
you make my soul come alive.
You mean the world to me,
Girl you're all that I need ---

HOOK:
Maybe it's time,
to make up your mind.
Maybe it's time,
To make up your mind .... (repeated, adlib, and fade)

I always love your music, Henry. But Pandora won't let me listen without an account and I do not have ann account with them. Nonetheless, good luck with your song. Hope is gets lots of airplay. Your music deservers a wife audience.

Hi Henry,

European Belgian, I do not have access to your composition. Pity. Maybe you should put it on soundcloud?

Kindly regards

Thanks Al for attempting to give it a try. Just so you know an account is "Free" but I do understand. My music is also on Spotify, Amazon, iTunes, and all the major sites in case you have access to those. Much Love !! Henry

Thanks for the suggestion. However, for any of my released music I will not be putting it on Soundcloud. Soundcloud posting for my released music is not in my best interest. Thanks again for trying to access. Peace :-)

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.

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."
