Hello everyone. This song is a joint project with my friend Halya from Ukraine. The song is about the sad everyday life of most people. And about the fact that everyone wishes for happiness but does not realize it. Because happiness is not something you can own. You have to recognize it and feel it. Listen to HAPPINESS The song is played entirely by BiaB 2021. Only the vocals have been additionally recorded. The english is definitely not the best, but it is much easier to write a usable song in english than in german ;-) We hope you like the song. BiaB is definitely the most extraordinary program I have ever used. see you soon Andi ;-) HAPPINESS We wake up in the morning It’s always time to work No breakfast on the table, but worries This is how the years go by Is this the sense of life We will change it, must hurry Look around you maybe you feel the same it’s up to you Happiness it’s always on our side but we don’t have the time 2nd+3rd (and we have to take the time) to catch these moments of life Happiness is something all we want but when we see it we can pass it on Now we sit together Joy is in our eyes cause we have learned to look We’re there for each other to give us all the chance to say I’ve understood ****** Song Summary ************* Title: Happiness File:Happiness.SGU Key=C , Tempo 105, Length (m:s)=4:04 No intro. 104 bar chorus, from bar 1 to bar 104.

I really enjoyed the snappy 90s "Roxette" feel and the liquid-y, accented (to an American) vocals. I did find the chorus less satisfying, reaching out in a different direction with less success.
But everything comes together with "let's go!" =8^)

I save the individual tracks from Biab into my TASCAM DP-32SD and mix it together with my vocals and possibly other instruments. Then I have it mastered at LANDR.com. Viele Grüße Andi ;-)

WOW what an outstanding song. Super groove! Great vocal. Love the mix!
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.

M. liked the start and the buildup. just an idea maybe dial back drum level a tad. liked that 'lets go'.
i like the fact you employ the trick of vocal doubles.
interesting song. best to you. om

Dear Mr. Melzner... Starting off a song with such a rockin' beat made it absolutely irresistible to my ears . Also, I like the way the lyrics struck a balance between the optimistic expectation of being happy with the more realistic consideration of how we could achieve that desirable state of existence. Your vocal performance was energetic and affirming.

The entire production is excellent.
Great write, vocal performance, arrangement and mix.
Outstanding use of RTs and RD.
We are big fans of open/airy mixes with lots of dynamics and this is a great example. Every track has its place on the soundstage.
Well done!
J&B

Hello bluage thank you very much for this great feedback I think it is really nice that you can understand the meaning of the text so well I don't have anyone to check my texts i write them with a dictionary and have them checked with the online translator ;-) but I can imagine that you as a native speaker will find some passages unfamiliar maybe sometimes the meaning of the text is completely lost but i have to say that i can't write song lyrics in my german native language at all.... so I prefer to stay with this method many love greetings andi ;-)

Rest assured that your written communication skills are just fine, as far as I'm concerned, even across different languages. I had no problem whatsoever understanding the subtext of your interesting lyrics. Sincerely, 'bluage'

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."
