Hi Greg,

What a lovely song we came across, going some pages back. smile
Your vocals are outstanding, we are particularly impressed with the higher sections in the vocal and how easily you reach those notes.

Greg, this is absolutely fantastic. Great vocal! The mix was spot on; loved that muted trumpet and nylon string guitar.

I'm glad I caught this masterpiece.

Greg,

Beautiful song!
The melancholic melody touches my heart.
What a wonderful vocal anyway.
The bossa has a little Latin flavor, which makes the song even more exciting.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

This sounds, at times, like a mixture between a George Michael song ("Jesus to a Child" comes to mind) and a Sting song ("Desert Rose"?). You make it your own, though - and what a song - wow. Well done.

Cool bossa -- easy to imagine Diana Krall covering this.

Smooooth vocal and a fine band -- nice guitar.

Well done.

Hi Greg,

This is incredible!

I love bossanovas and you've really taken the genre and made it your own.

The bitter-sweet ambience created by the tempo, the chords, your superb melody and your exquisite singing is truly magnificent aural alchemy. It's the mixture of everything that adds together and creates something that's greater than the sum of the individual parts. Just wow!

Absolutely amazing stuff!

All the best,
Noel

She plays like she helped write the song.


Thanks so much Marty!! You made my day with that review!! Heard a great one from you a day or two ago! Take care. Greg

Am I correct??

Thanks David! Not sure which "Fragile" that is. Definitely stole that line for Sting. Didn't plan it but it fit the verse perfectly so I went for it. Hearing some great stuff from you lately! Take care. Greg

It's the kind of song that would fit right in as the soundtrack for the closing credits of some melancholy movie from the 60's or 70's. Nice, enjoyable listen. Thanks for posting.

Great acoustic solo and the muted trumpet is another deeply touching element in the excellent palette of instruments.
I don't have words to describe the amazing quality of the vocals... simply a haunting song.

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."

Our Customer Service hours this weekend are:
