https://soundcloud.com/user-770148857/days-of-heavenFor my whole adult life, I wanted to see the movie "Days of Heaven." It's supposedly one of the best movies ever made, especially the cinematography. I finally saw it, and wrote a song about it. 1036:Bass, Electric, NorthernRockBallad Ev 065 832:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm AltCountryMoody Ev 075 1037:Guitar, Acoustic, Rhythm NorthernRockBallad Ev 065 1038:Guitar, High-Strung Acoustic, Rhythm NorthernRockBallad Ev 065 2028:Fiddle, Soloist CountryAndy Ev 065 AmericanaSlowRockFred^2-a:Sidestick,HiHat , b:HiHat,Snare vocals by Tom Bedlam of fiverr Lyrics: I'm a man who's had to struggle through this great big world I don't want to see you suffer for my mistakes You've a chance at something better And for me, that's just the breaks Days of Heaven await you, Days to cherish all your life Angels high on will fete you, Another man's happy wife I can smile through my misery You don't have to share my strife Everything I've ever tried to do has up and come apart, And it seems to me our time has ended, too, If you stayed, I'd curse each moment That you had to just make do repeat chorus

Hi TuneMonger,
This is a very good song - lovely melody and lyrics.
The Mix is great and I enjoyed the vocals and fiddle break.
Well done.
Best Regards

According to wikipedia "Days of Heaven" has become a cult classic. That's interesting because this song could well go down that same path. I am enjoying this song more after repeated listens.
Another weird time warp thing is I could imagine Bert Sommer r.i.p.(the forgottan man of woodstock) singing this.
Nice enjoyable song and lyrics TM.
cheers
Gary.

TM,
Nice. A brooding lyric and an appropriately brooding backing. Works well.
Good production, good vocal, good mix.

Hi, TuneMonger. What a wonderful song of hope --despite the brooding. Excellent melody and very well sung --convincingly. Very important message to smile through the misery. The singer's life may have been a struggle, but he still has the heart to share his woes and point out the possibility of a better life for those who follow. Excellent!

TuneMonger,
This is excellent. I love the feel - almost John Denver meets James Taylor. Very cool.
Great mix and production.
Thoroughly enjoyed.

Wow Tunemonger!
This definately has some Crosby Stills and Nash overtones to it that can't be denied! Excellent lyrics and good choice of music/band. Also the guy from fiverr, definitely worth the money!
Thanks for posting, I enjoyed the listen

The musical intro hooked me in.
You've captured a melancholic mood with the lyrics and music,
Your fiver singer does a god job interpreting your song.
I will have to add the movie to my watch list.

Touching and strong lyrics, sad story with bitterness turned into acceptance ("I can smile through my misery"). The chording, the melody and the slow forward movement support nicely that mood. Very enjoyable singer, pleasant and interesting voice. Balanced selection of instruments. Surely this song is much better than the movie on my list  Janne

I've never seen the movie but it makes me want to. Outstanding vocals. Your found a very lovely and sad melody within the band's performance. Very moving. Nice ballad. I like it.

Janne said it best, "sad story with bitterness turned into acceptance..."
Your hired hand did a fine emotive take on your lyric and melody.
The mostly held electric guitar is very nice...sits perfectly.
Nice production all the way around!

A very cool song!!! The vocalist carried it quite well! I am a film nut but somehow missed that one, although I know the title well. Have to check it out! Nicely done!!! Take care. Greg

What a fantastic song! Outstanding vocal and lyrics. The mix and backing tracks fit them like a glove. Excellent choice in that fiddle!
Loved it.
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.

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."
