Those sophisticated chord progressions and harmonies remind me how much I have to learn about music -- so well constructed.
Great lyrics, production and everything else. Top-notch.
Thanks Ghostgum for taking a moment to listen and comment! I appreciate it! T

Hello, Torrey Bliss...
I'm not an instrumentalist, which pretty much makes me a 'slave', so-to-speak, to BIAB. That causes me to be very appreciative of actual musicians' performance skills, which are wonderously abundant in your song, 'Why Do You Still Love Me?'
The melody, harmonies, and subtext of your lyrics are quite memorable, as once again you wrap the passion of your faith in the language of romantic love.
The result (to my ears, at least), is a song with a 'message' that is equally accessible to listeners who's hearts are enamored with either object of devotion, or both simultaneously.
That's a pretty neat accomplishment for a musician to achieve with his audience, I'm sure, because if the heart is pure, both kinds of love can be spiritually regenerative, reassuring, and rewarding.
Talk about 'crossover' appeal! You got it going on in a BIG way in your song. Thanks bluage for all those awesome comments! I really appreciate you taking the time to listen and write all of that! It means a lot to me! T

Torrey,
Love your songwriting—no exception here . . . compelling Christian Rock tune. Has a very 80’s retro sound—dunno why but Duran/Duran comes to mind in terms of it’s sound. Vocal is just killer; great backing vocals in that chorus. Really well put together tune in all aspects. Outstanding!
Best regards,
Deej Thanks Deej! I really appreciate your comments! T

Ok...that was AWESOME! Trying to pick what I like best would be like trying to pick a favorite child...and you have a HUGE family here!
Have you ever considered joining some Pink Floyd fan sites/pages/groups and getting this music out there? I have a feeling they would LOVE it!!
Stunning job!
One weird question, was all you used from BIAB was the drums, or am I readying that wrong? Either way, WOW! Thanks HearToLearn for listening and commenting! I really appreciate it! Yes, the only thing I used from BIAB was the drums. I just did my best to try and play everything else to replicate the sound I was hearing in my head but I'll admit it's easy to get lazy and not want to spend the time to record all of those tracks. Take care, T

Oh, yeah, you got it, Torrey! Your talent has no bounds. Yes, the backing tracks are awesome --the perfect bed for such a good melody and excellent vocals. This would be one of my favorite album cuts from your greatest hits --a 3-disc endeavor. You always post the most professionally sounding productions. Thanks Marty for all the encouraging words! I appreciate it! T

Torrey, there is no need to parse this out.
It is outstanding in the most epic manner.
The amount of talent to do all those vocal and instrumental
tracks is simply overwhelming.
We would think that this would be a tremendous song
in the P&W market.
No need to say more other than we most enjoyed it.
J&B
Thanks J&B for your kind words! T

Torrey, Wonderful composition and playing. Vocals A+. I like the FX chain you used for voice. It feels, vocals have more "body" compared to other tunes I heard by you. Song has a good amount of modern feel to it, without going too crazy  Good one. Thank you for sharing. Misha.

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."
