Peter, Leon and Janice,

It's 4:00 a.m. in Melbourne right now. This really made me open my eyes.

Brilliant... Brilliant... Brilliant.

I love EVERYTHING about this write and it's presentation.

► Spectacular intro

► Such a memorable melody

► Totally engaging lyrics

► Super, super, super production

► Leon's writing and singing shines

► Peter's guitar playing is *chef's kiss*



► Janice's backing is the perfect icing for such a prize-winning cake

I congratulate you all on a wonderful listen and really fine entertainment.

All the best,
Noel

Thanks Vic - have made an adjustment to the vocal.

Nice change in mood at 3:20, and I can really hear Janice do her cool thing during that part, she seems a bit buried in the mix for the rest of the song (for my tastes).

Good vocal from Leon, and good write.

Lovely playing as per usual, Peter, nice fills and great outro solo.

Good song guys and gal, enjoyed!



Thanks Dave.

Thanks Marty. A jam is only a Dropbox away!

Peter, you had me from the first measure. Everything I would have said already has been said. All I can say is WOW this is absolutely fantastic. Great vocal, harmonies, backing tracks and mix.

I'm a sucker for nostalgic love songs. Good lyrics.

I especially like the melody and lyrics of the chorus. Sticks with you, you know.

Aces guitar work. Love that ending.

Thanks a lot Scott.

I do think Janice is a bit quiet on this, I would bring her vocals up...maybe in some places. Thank you for sharing.

Misha.



Thanks Misha
Never listened to K-pop.....I was actually thinking a bit of The Who when I wrote the song.

Great storytelling tune. Great guitar throughout. I like how you "brought it down" for the next to last verse. That was a nice effect. Excellent work.

Man.... What a good song. I like to listen before I read the credits.
I was thinking this really sounds like the LA Hard Rock style.... And lo and behold, it was. That chorus reminds me of something but I can't place it. No matter, your chorus is good as is the whole song.

Good job to everyone involved. I was wondering if that was maybe your sister on bgv.... Janice.... Should have known.

Totally enjoyed it.

Sweetly heavy backing. All those rhythm instruments played so well together, and the vocals joined in convincingly. Nice cool-down and ramp back up. Peter's guitars gave that extra voice to the band. Much enjoyed this.

Hi PeterF,

Nice composition. Personally, I find the lead guitar too far back (except in the last part) because it is rich in variations. The voices are impeccable. The whole is pleasant. Great collaborative work.

Kindly regard

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."
