COWGIRL CINDERELLA

she slipped a note in the pocket of my levis
she slipped away before i even turned around
i caught a glimpse of her slipping out that bar door
by the time i hit the parking lot she was nowhere to be found

"call me" in lipstick on a seagrams bar coaster
no name no number three x's and an o
like alice's rabbit deep into a dark hole
who is that girl, where the hell did she go
   
   cowgirl cinderella
   captured my heart then vanished in the night
   i keep lookin', gotta find her, i gotta tell her
   i'm under her spell no cure in sight
   cowgirl cinderella
   cowgirl cinderella

asked everyone i know and a few strangers just in case
facebook snapchat tik-tok twitter not a trace
searching for an angel with the devil in her eye
no reflection in a mirror, don't it make you wonder why
   
   cowgirl cinderella...

   
   captured my heart then vanished in the night
   i'm under her spell no cure in sight
   cowgirl cinderella
   cowgirl cinderella
   cowgirl cinderella




Call it what you want.

Have at it.

Floyd,
Any bag this fits in would need a long list of ingredients...the whole sounds right to me; playful in style and content and convincing. Sounds like you had fun and that comes through; it`s different and it works!
Highlights for me are that clap/snap intro and the really clever lyrics:

"call me" in lipstick on a seagrams bar coaster
no name no number three x's and an o
like alice's rabbit deep into a dark hole
who is that girl, where the hell did she go

great writing and a cool quirky, make a new genre, song.

I never said it wasn't a good software ?

Do you mean your song !

Bit of respect for users/ subscribers looking for other things Floyd , bit under hand if you have something to say on the subject please do so on the original post , but not this way .

came to listen to your latest song , sorry can't comment on the song as i never listened to it!!!. your comments to me are a bit close to sarcasm again pretty much what i expect on this forum if i give a view !.

Never expected it from you though !!.

Hi Floyd,

This is a beauty!

You have put heaps of work into this song and it really pays dividends.

I particularly liked the changes in instrumentation throughout the song which kept me entertained from start to finish.

I also liked the chorus "Cowgirl Cinderella" and the repetition in the outro.

Great song.

Best Regards
Nigel

FJ,
Excellent theme and title! Pretty cool phrasing going on @ nice style fusion. Strong vocal performance. Mix and all, above my grade, even if there is something to be tweaked, it slips my ears. Harmony sounds very natural. Thank you for sharing.

Misha.

"Not Classic Country. Or Classic Rock. Or Jazz. Or Polka.
Impossible!" LOL

P.S. A (talented) friend once said to me: If there is a drunken homeless performing Polka well, I will listen and dance to it. There is no bad music, there are musicians that can make it #it.

That was a treat - sounds like you had a lot of fun producing that one.

Wonderful use of all those differing elements.

Imaginative and entertaining.

Loved the clever us of "slip" riffing off Cinderella's "slipper".

And a few strangers just in case Ha! laugh

Sounds great on my headphones.

Love the production - vocal here are great:

Delayed vocals and harmonies are a real treat for the ears.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

That was AWESOME!!

Man, what a great listen through the 'phones, so much going on. Pure ear candy!

The acoustic that opens the song, is that the Ample Martin Lite? And if so, does it sound that good out of the box or did you need to add processing to it? And how do you program it? Man, I really need to learn about this stuff.

EDIT: Too many questions, I'm over on their site now checking out the demos wink

Love the handclaps, the way you bring in the heavy guitars, the delay fx on the vocals .... everything basically wink

"Not Classic Country. Or Classic Rock. Or Jazz. Or Polka"

Very true! Just very, very good music smile

You blew me away with this one, floyd, nice!

Floyd,

So cool! Too many elements to mention make this a great song. Love it...

The vocal and mix is so crisp and clean - pro all the way.

Awesome use of the "claps and snaps" - infectious!

You never compromise on the quality and delivery of your music - you are an inspiration to all of us on this forum.

Like that little yodel in your voice. It seem to solidify your desperation. Harmonies work well. What a great mix --the kind that we can listen to a hundred times and it always seems fresh, there's always something cool we might've missed. Right from the title this is exceptional. Cowgirl Cinderella. Instead of the glass slipper, she leaves a mysterious note. Instead of disappearing in a pumpkin, she vanishes like a Cheshire cat in a puff of smoke. Dang, you are a clever fellow, Floyd.

Categories are for organizing thought, and are never meant to be exclusive. Heck, even black and white have countless variations. Even the word music has some fuzzy parameters. One thing that remains a constant is your ability to make the best music, Floyd.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Floyd this put a grin on my face!

I love the way you explore the boundaries of BIAB and are not afraid to implement new sounds and techniques into your work! And by the way, when I try to do that sometimes it usually doesn't sound right, but you seem to make it work every time!

Once again your lyrics grab the listener and your vocal delivery holds that listener to stay with the song! Loved those echo effects, especially toward the end! Great job! Thanks, Torrey

kinda sounds like that music they play on the radio...especially the drums.... or is it a clap track? Cool tune. Modern country or something close to it.

Terrific song - solid arrangement and a wonderful vocal.
The delay/reverb on the finger clicks is impressive as is the follow through handclap/snare substitute.


Cheers

My goodness, Mr. Jane. You seem to have demonstrated in one little number that BIAB is a wonderful creative tool in the hands of a creative individual. Why, it's almost as if you have something to prove! laugh And so quickly too! Oh dear.

Adored the growly textures and sense of space. Fantastic stuff.

Hi Floyd Jane,

Nice original introduction. Reverb and echo are used perfectly. Nice choice in realtracks. Your lyrics make us dream because the mystery of love has always attracted us. The mix is ​​superb to put your voice in value. Nice work. I appreciated.

Floyd,

How can one not listen to a song called “Cowgirl Cinderella”? Great title. BIAB is indeed a miracle software, but some of us have a knack for making more miracles than others. What an impressive production on this—masterful! And creative as well—the claps, the stops, the panning, the selective delays, that heavy metal rhythm cutting in. All that makes for an outstanding tune! Killer stuff!

My very humble regards,

Deej

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."
