Intoxicatie Yet another dream song... I had a dream where my colleagues were sitting at the table, drinking, tapping the table and singing a song - I remembered the first words and the chorus melody when I woke up, although I had to modify the melody a little because it sounded bit too much like Paloma Blanca, a hit in Europe in the 70's. Hopefully the resemblance is not that obvious anymore. Originally the lyrics were in Finnish, but when translating, I came up with that funny song title when I couldn't rhyme 'lady' properly. And then I realized I could use 'strong' female names in the verses I'm sure I could develop the story even further but it is time to give it a rest now and showcase it to you. I hope you enjoy my humor All comments welcome! Naturally, BIAB provided excellent rock instruments for the backing band. The band is based on the style _FURIOUS.STY: RealDrums [in style:SouthernPop8ths^01-a:Hat, Snare, b:Open Hat, Snare Loops: Cajon124_04 ev16, Cajon124_05 ev16 RealTracks: RealTracks in style: ~579:Bass, Electric, Blues Roadhouse Ev 120 RealTracks in song: 2625:Guitar, Baritone Electric, Rhythm BluesBoogieBassAndLicks Ev 100 RealTracks in style: 2635:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm CountryBluesRockHigh Ev 110 RealTracks in song: 1850:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm PopShiningGrittyMuted Ev 120 RealTracks in song: 3352:Guitar, Baritone Electric, Soloist SwampyBluesTalkBoxBrent Ev 095 RealTracks in song: 3361:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm BritClassicRock70sHeld Bottle emptying sound effect (recorded by myself, plain water though) Vocals by me Mixed in Cakewalk by BandLab Lyrics: Sinking booze with cheerful feeling with both hands, surely isn't bland no lady like Intoxicatie will ever be my thrill. I had heard enough all her nagging all her cheating no mental uplifting no gratitude no greeting Sherry was a savage no balm after beating luckily a timeless potion gracefully treating. Sinking booze... Margarita left me she had no sense of humor came autumn then winter her comeback still a rumor longing is too painful a tearshedding tumor but I have found a healer, I'm a homebrew consumer. I can feel a tender kissing on my lips my heart beats fast for the drought ending sips. Sinking booze... I have missed a touch for too long I've been impatient but Brandy won't tell when she grants the next sensation mutual and intimate brush in her basement sentiment is scorching but a shot's the replacement. I can feel the warmness gushing in my blood the fire of love in the overwhelming flood. I can feel the spirits tingle in my loins the elixir of gods seeks the stream of life to join. ---------------- Janne

Man, you should keep pen, paper and BiaB ready while you sleep, Janne. "Sherry was a savage no balm after beating luckily a timeless potion gracefully treating." This is so much fun. And so much funny. Love your sense of humor and the way you bring it in to play. Right from the intoxicating rhythm to the development of the melody and instrumentation. Then you add all the special touches including the "bottle emptying sound." Very creative!

Thanks Marty for your kind and fun comment I'm really glad you had also sense of humor to understand my ideas I hope the next BIAB feature will be recognizing chords directly from brain signals, so that the chord sequence has already been recorded when I wake up Janne

WOW this is fantastic. Its a real funny song that you sang perfectly! Loved the chord progression, backing tracks, and mix.
Great vocoder effects also.
Two thumbs up.
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.

Janne, First of all, very cool and positive tune! Secondly, I do not know what you changed, but your vocals are very clear! Remember whatever the settings you used Brave choice of instruments + FX and clever composition. Love the title. Listens well. Thank you for sharing. Misha.

Love it, Janne!
Your title reminded me of the title of an album by Polish jazz vocalist Anna Maria Jopek "Upojenie". Wikipedia translated it as "rapture", but I had a Polish woman translate it for me as "intoxicated with you". BTW, Upojenie was the album she made with Pat Metheny.

Two words come to mind: FUN and CLEVER Your vocals and the talkbox guitar nailed the fun vibe. The mix is excellent...great soundstage on the monitors. Regarding that BiaB wish you have ... well, we already have Moderna vax RNA crawling around our brains so we might as well have a chord creator also Enjoyed it! J&B

Hi Janne,
A very good one! I had to read the lyrics a couple of times and then the dime dropped. Very funny story, in spite of the experience with Margarita...
The rhythmic section is very good and sounds bright and addictive. And you made good use of that swampy vocal box.
also, as misha and Ray wrote; the vocals are much brighter than in yur previous songs. Although they were very nice too.
Cheers, Hans

Two thumbs up. Thanks Mario for your very uplifting words and the thumbs I considered using vocoder in my vocal track, but I thought it would just make my vocals more difficult to understand. But it was fun to find that talkbox RT guitar, it fit nicely with the not-so-sober mood of the song Janne

Nicely done!

Thanks Misha for your kind and positive comment Glad you liked the title also Actually, I didn't change anything in my vocal effecting (I use the vocal strip effect of Cakewalk, except my previous song where I used Nectar). But maybe I sang louder and fixed problems with Melodyne better, so I didn't have to bury my mistakes in the mix. I also used less reverb on the whole song, that could have had an impact. Janne

Very clever and interesting song.
Excellent use of effects and sounds to go along with your always interesting chord progressions.
Very well done all round.

Janne,
excellent job building that backtrack! The drums sound extra good on this (I've used that same set myself before). Overall sound is great. The chord structure and melody are super! Great job! Thanks, Torrey

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:
