Aint been around for a while. Had a computer melt down that ultimately led to building my own computer. Taken me quite a while to get things up and running again. My first few new songs are very simple arraignments with just me on guitar and vocals. Here's one called " Those Lies" https://soundcloud.com/captainmoto/those-liesThanks for listening and commenting. Lyrics: She's got lightning burning in her eyes And there's thunder every time she cries And I brought this storm upon us when I told her those lies Oh the dark cloud cover wipes the sunshine from the sky And the cold wind blow'n passing thru me like a knife And I brought this storm upon us when I told her those lies I try to tell her everything aint black and white And she cried and it echoed thru the night And I brought this storm upon us when I told her those lies Fury of emotion carries thru to daylight The restless rage is rolling with no end in sight And I brought this storm upon us when I told her those lies

Hi Moto,
Dig this tune, so intimate with the sparse arrangement. Nice songwriting, singing, and guitars. This could be your coffee house version and the song would also work with full rock band treatment.
Cheers,
Frank

GOOD song, good lyric. Sometimes the distorted guitar sounds brilliant and other times it doesn't. That's the luck of the game. Well done.

Glad you liked it. I was shooting for different. Thanks Glad to have you back Moto. Excellent tune. Loved the intro. Loved the guitars and super vocal. Well done Happy to be back hanging out with such talented people. Thanks for the comments Scott GOOD song, good lyric. Sometimes the distorted guitar sounds brilliant and other times it doesn't. That's the luck of the game. Well done. Ray, thanks for listening and taking time to comment. About the distorted guitar, maybe some listeners like it maybe some don't. I never I never challenge a listener's perspective. I can say there's no luck in this one, it is exactly what I was shooting for brilliant or not. Nice! I really dig your vocal, good write too. Love the main guitar part, very cool. The other guitar has it's moments too Good to see you back with a new one, I'm a fan. Thanks Dave, I know that distortion can be in your face, the subject of the lyrics is not a pleasant one, I wanted some hurt in there.

.................... I know that distortion can be in your face, the subject of the lyrics is not a pleasant one, I wanted some hurt in there. You nail that feeling for sure. This is one hell of a song. Loved everything about. You vocal is very strong on this one. Nice guitar chops 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.

Hi Captain,
This is an excellent listen in every way. You've got the knack for making good music!
I love the minor-key vibe. The lyrics are a perfect fit for it.
It's two thumbs up from me!
All the best, Noel

Janice immediately said the tune reminded her of Neil Young's instrumental in the Depp movie "Dead Man."
We feel the fills well work in the way they accentuate the lyrics.
"Fury of emotion carries thru to daylight The restless rage is rolling with no end in sight And I brought this storm upon us when I told her those lies"
Excellent lyric. And vocal. And mix.
Enjoyed it!

Thanks kids, Wow......just gave that a listen, pretty cutting edge stuff there from Mr. Young. I had to apply some interesting techniques to get that sound.

Computer issues suck . . . but glad you got yourself back up and running—welcome back! And, boy, what a re-entry tune. Love the write—really like how you carried the “storm” elements throughout the tune. The vocal is excellent and works perfectly with the stripped down arrangement. Very impressive outing!
My very best to you,
Deej

Your voice reminds me a bit of Stephen Stills. Song sounds like something he might do, too. Nice work.

My very best to you,
Deej Thanks Deej, I've used the guitar to do some "sound effects" in the past. It can be a little gimmicky so, I don't do it too often. moto Your voice reminds me a bit of Stephen Stills. Song sounds like something he might do, too. Nice work. Stephen Stills...quite a compliment, thank you. moto

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."
