Josie,
A good write - that reflects early 80's Country in all of its aspects - the lyric and subject matter, the melody, arrangement...
Nice vocals. A good mix.
(The piano notes seem to be "cut short"...they don't "ring" the way one would expect, like there is no "space" in the room. No reverb? maybe? MIDI? Mostly noticeable in the opening. The overall production is very nice).
Good to see you post again... Well done.
fj Thank you FJ, I appreciate you. Hi Josie,
I listened a couple of times to your beautiful song. At first just to let it come to me as it is. Beautiful! Secondly, when I read some posts I listened to your song again. Conclusion? Still a beautiful song! The lyrics are very sensitive and very well written and 'from the heart'. In Dutch we have the same word for Tearjerker; Tranentrekker, but don't try to pronounce that. And your song is, but a beautiful one! I also liked the piano very much, as well as your sob (you call it like this?) halfway. And i won't forget the vocal harmonies, well done! So, for me you have made a beautiful song.
Hat off, Josie,
Hans Hans, thank you for such kind words. I'm so glad you liked it.

WOW Josie this is outstanding and possibly your best to date. Loved the backing tracks and your vocal but those lyrics took it over the top for me. This is definitely a song that Tammy Wynette would sing.
This is radio ready right now and the kind of country I wish the stations up here would play. Mario thank you so much. I don't know what they're playing on Country anymore we tried to listen after the hurricane when the power was out on battery powered radio and I heard one song I actually liked. It was surreal. Simply beautiful, Josie! Thanks for sharing. Thank you so much my sweet Donny. I hope you are doing okay. God bless you.

Hi Josie,
A beautiful song with excellent instrumentation and a super mix.
What really makes it special though is your vocal performance - pretty much
the best I've ever heard you sing. Great use of dynamics, full of control and
absolutely drenched in emotion. Fabulous.
A truly professional offering.
Loved it.
ROG.

It is a very-well written song, that I enjoyed listening to, but being one of those who have lost dear family members during this pandemic, I am not sure how appropriate I find it (in my case and situation) to express it like I am missing me? It is probably my lack of understanding of English that makes me in unease with the lyrics... still a great track!
Thanks for sharing!
Will

Will Thank you Will. Sadly I think we have a language barrier. I could have said I love and miss you so much that I don't feel like myself without you in my life. I just said the same thing in a different way. Josie

Hi Josie, This is s-o-o-o-o-o-o good!!!  Your performance is super. I love the band that you've assembled and your mix is perfect for my headphones. What really stood out to me was your writing. It is exquisite. These lyrics are so easy to identify with, and right now I'm sitting here with tears in my eyes. Your words and your musical arrangement have unpacked a ton of memories for me. I really appreciate that you've brought so many of my lost family and friends back into my mind. This is definitely a song to be proud of. All the very best, Noel

Good use of the hook and great lift in the chorus! I don't write them as much anymore in this genre but love the classic country style. Great job!

Thank you TuneMonger. My sister, who mostly raised me after my mother died when I was 8, left this world a few days ago. Right now my eyes are still red and that lump still gets in my throat and this song will be true for me yet again.

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."
