That bass and drums are working so well, great groove. Nice snare! That whole kit sounds great, which kit is it?
The lyrics, it's cool when the song could mean something different to every listener.
Vocals sound great.
"I used EZDrummer2 to build the drum track."
"Build", that's a good word to describe it, better than programed or sequenced. I've been looking for that word,thanks. Hey Frank, I just used the basic kit. Did some processing on the individual kit elements after the fact, shoot me a PM if you want details.

This sounds great Dave. It has a real retro feel to it. Really takes me back to an era of music I liked a lot!! Cool stuff!!  Groovy. "Retro" pretty much describes what I'm all about when it comes to music I think  Thanks, David! Hi Dave & Team,
This is a beauty!
All sounds great and particularly liked the choruses and the refrains.
Also - top guitar playing.
Only minor suggestion is to look at the verses - especially the first two where there may be too many words - it's a touch crowded.
Excellent - well done all of you.
Best Regards
Nigel Thanks for the listen and comments, Nigel, very much appreciated!

Dave, Chris, Marty...
Everything about this screams "Classic".
The mix is so good it's hard to pick any one part to talk about. SO cohesive. OOOh, that buttery bass!! Drums sound good. Killer guitar throughout. Wonderful vocals and BGVs. Nice keys.
This sounds like it came off one of the classic albums that we spent our entire lives listening to.
Classic.
Killer.

Cool song. Good collaboration. Cool vocals, lyrics and mix. And, the lead guitar work is out of this world as usual. The band isn't too shabby either.
Good one!

Interesting lyrics, bit mystery and bit despair, nicely the swimming and swirling turn into movements of mind.
Great vocals once again and I enjoyed the backing vocals in the chorus.
Dave's guitar is alive and burning, nice riffs and solos.
Marty's bass feels like gentle touches on the bare skin.
Very relaxed work, a pleasure to listen to.
Janne Thanks Janne! Loved your description of Marty's bass part Upbeat soulful blues. Everything in place, and everything sounds great. Appreciate that, David, thanks!

Thanks to all for listening and commenting. I love this song, and working with these 2 gifted & talent musicians is such a treat. Really love reading all of the comments. A note for Nigel (Hey, wait. That's a good title: A Note For Nigel.) about the jam-packed lyrics. We all talked about that, but didn't change it. When Chris was working out the melody she sent us a quick track with some cool scatting. There were some actual words scattered in there, so I used them. Keep in mind that wonderful German accent in her beautiful voice, and how it's easier to scat than to sing words --especially in a foreign language. The plethora of words seemed to fit the urgency of the soul searching, and Chris stormed through them like a trooper. So, yeah, you're right, Nigel.

Dave, Chris & Marty,
AWESOME!
Love this - such a great track with driving vocals by Chris. Blistering guitar and a robust bass line - they are all present here.
EXCELLENT!
Bob Appreciate that, thanks, Bob!

only one word...SUPERB.
i'm searching my soul to find something negative to say.
i came up with nothing...lol.
great femme and bg vocs.
only thing i might suggest from a audio engineering standpoint, and check with a pro AE cos just my preference..i found the snare a tad tiring on my ears.
maybe compression used .
a great song effort...
best/happiness/respect.

Hi Dave, Chris and Marty,
You did it again! I really can't remember if you ever made an 'average' song.
This one is also top!
I enjoyed the song itself (Soul), but your guitarplay is really very very good!
And of course so Chris with her beautiful voice and Marty on his magic bass!
Nice to read how this song finally saw the light. So now you have 3 writers for your songs.
Had to look up what a minnow is. Now I know.
These EZ drums sound very good, by the way.
Tell the other two I loved the song!
Hans Hi Dave,
I listen to your song again, the day after ;-)
At first I tried your side that I had saved on my browser, but that didn't work.
So here I'm again. And I have a feeling you have slightly improved the song and the vocals, or not?
If not, than the song is sounding even better than yesterday (almost not possible). It's like pasta. Taste better the next day, warmed up.
A geat song, I want to say again (now listening to Cry a river)
Hans Hi Hans, thanks for listening twice! And for the kind words, very happy you liked this one. To answer your question, the mix has not changed. Thanks again!

This is an awesome total package.
We love Chris's sassy lead vocal (and her piano) and the background vocal variations. No surprise that Dave's soaring guitar is outstanding or that Marty's bass lines most excellently glue it all together. Nice work on those drums too.
The fine write and edge of funkiness make for a heckuva enjoyable listen!
Way to go, y'all!
J&B

Very cool groove DAve. Guitar was really talking and being sassy too. Loved Chris's vocal and Marty's baselines were also as well. Awesome tune. Appreciate that, thanks, Scott! Dave & co
Excellent, great vocal, loved the harmony parts.
As always beautifully played guitar - really nice melodic stuff.
Marty's bass was accomplished.
You are getting to be a bit of a master at composing those drums, nicely done.
Peter Thanks as always for the support, Peter!

Wow what a killer sound you folks have put together here Dave! Chris's vocals are smokin! Everytime I try to put a bluesy lick in one of my tunes I'm just trying to be like Dave lol!
Marty's bass work is so good it would be a step back to try to use realtracks for the bass! Great job, Torrey

BA team,
Excellent collaboration. Very "live" and natural feel on this tune. From structure to performance, a very rounded song. Mixed very well. Enjoyed it! Probably the best tune this year from Blue Attitude. Thank you for sharing.
Misha. Hi Misha, yes, it's probably my favorite of the ones we have done this year too, although there are a couple of other close contenders Thanks very much for the listen and comments!

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."
