Janice's harmonies sound good.

Nice.

Thanks floyd.
Can't see anything obvious on the vocal track -(Vic also comments on the issue).
Hopefully a one off.

Peter, Leon and Janice.

I love this groove and it suits the lyrics so well.

From the very first chord, it was easy to hear that this was going to be a thoroughly enjoyable musical journey.

I honestly don't know how you all keep on producing song after song, year after year, and always maintaining such a high standard.

Excellence once again!

All the best,
Noel.

P.S. I love the picture on Soundcloud. Such a peaceful view.

Makes me feel like walking down into the woods here and setting by my creek and just watching the water flow.

Thanks Herb - creek looks nice.

It is very good and in a way as understated as his song. It gave me a smile.
You both did a very nice job with this 'sweet' song (I don't mean the lyrics, they were about hard labour...)

I really enjoyed it,
Hans


Thanks Hans appreciate the comments.

How can you not like this. It has a soothing vibe that draws me in and the vocal harmonies say "stay awhile"

Beautiful!

Peter, Leon & Janice,
There`s an innocence about the song I really like; a style rarely heard now, with hopeful lyrics that had me rooting for the factory worker`s dream, fine vocals and a good simple arrangement.
A very enjoyable surprise- well done you three!

Peter, Leon and Janice:

Very nicely done! Really like the write, and your production choices give it a nice, traditional 60’s type folk song—so mission accomplished there. Sweet melody accentuated with some pretty harmonies. Well done, folks! This is a good ‘un.

Regards to all,

Deej

This is totally different than your previous songs but just as good. Super blues harp! Everything about this is spot on.

A nice change of pace! I liked this one.

I still like it though.

Thanks Vic

Great vocals and Janice's backing harmonies really sounds like "sighing through the trees".

What I admire here is your collaboration in the development of this composition. The lyrics are superb. I love the harmonica and the vocals doubled to different octaves which make for a great composition. Well done.

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."
