Thanks Marty, mentioning Beatles is always flattering smile Not The Beatles, but an English rock band too. Glad you liked the title and the lyrics.

That's a really well written song, Janne. It rocks. I also got a strong Who vibe from the chorus and detected some Beatles-like touches in there. From the hints you dropped in the comments I'm guessing your inspiration might be 'All right now' by Free (though I'm not actually hearing it).
Regards,
Leon

Well sung and produced. The inspiration? I`m guessing FabFour though can`t quite place it... which means you made it your own.

Robert


Thanks Robert for your kind comment smile I'm really glad you think I made it my own, I thought that the inspiration would be too obvious. Not FabFour though, but thanks for mentioning them laugh

GREAT clever lyric all the way through ... a mix song - who would've thought?

Along with that fine lyric are nice vocals, band choice and mix.

We enjoyed it!

Thanks Janice and Bud for your very positive comment smile Harrison - interesting and flattering observation. The idea behind the lyrics is that why make cover songs when you can easily make your own based on a hit song. I wish I'd gone much further, but unfortunately I'm not as creative as Mr. Snyder wink

Like concrete this song is solid!

Excellent lyrics, vocal, backing tracks, leads and mix.

A solid R&R song.

A toe tapper from the git-go.

This is an excellent song.


Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up.
Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

Kindest regards,

Thanks Deej for your positive comment smile And thanks for mentioning the Who, wouldn't have thought that, heartwarming reference although my voice cannot be compared to Daltrey's smile

Bingo, Leon! You got Free from my hints, nice to hear that you are not hearing their song, so I have manage to create an original enough song that rocks. And big thanks and additional plus also for "Beatles-like" words smile

I really like the music and the instrumentation. The chorus is an ear grabber. What an imagination you have to create this!

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."

Happy Easter! Holiday Hours...

2024 is well underway - it's already Easter Weekend!

Our Customer Service hours this weekend are:

Friday, March 29: 8-4
Saturday, March 30: 8-4
