"Inside my dreams there's harmony that promises great things. A primal voice now makes the choice and sweetly it too sings." Janice selected the above for a quote. The write is epic. Man, all those AABB rhymes are amazing. It would take Bud years to do that for one song  It would make great poetry or even prose and your vocals and arrangement certainly make it a great song. And as Janice said, Dave's guitar work is "mighty fine." That's southern for damn good And that is one powerful convincing vocal. Take all that and add a terrific bass foundation, an excellent mix and you have a, simply stated, great production including the vid that no doubt took a ton of work. Wowzers! J&B

This is deep!
I believe it may require a second listen.
A transcendental voyage into the inner sanctum of the mind.
Cool!

Hi Marty,
you granted me the honor of listening to this song prior to publishing and I said that I liked the song, liked Dave's playing, but ... didn't understand the meaning of the lyrics.
It was very kind (and lenient) of you to help me approaching the lyrics with that synopsis - thanks so much for your patience - I think the lyrics are absolutely remarkable. Don't know many people (if any...) who could write something like this.
No doubt, Marty, you are a very special and eclectic human being.
All the best,
Stefan
Hi, Stefan!! Thanks!! If we ever get together, all I'm going to want to do is talk about and play your songs. Had a bunch of listens to this tune. This is one of my favorites of yours Marty. Awesome vocal, lyric and backtrack. Daves guitar was excellent as well perfect for the song. Well done Thank you, Scott!! So glad you like it. Big wow from me too, Marty. Love everything about this. Great vocal and of course wonderful playing from you and Dave. For some strange reason, something kind of reminds me of Marty Robbins. Though I don't recall Marty singing about the search for enlightenment...
Regards,
Leon Thanks, Leon. Haha. Marty Robbins. I know him as the guy who always comes up when searching for myself. I remember him from Rosa's cantina. We were both searching for enlightenment then. What a great song. Well done. Lyrics are superb. Music and vocals are outstanding. Everyone plays their parts well, including BIAB.
Good video too. Thanks for your very kind comment, jtpjtpjtp.

Marty, superb production. The write and vocal are equally superb. Dave does his thing to perfection. There are no weak spots. A very very enjoyable listen. Tom Thanks, Tom. For a bit there you were kinda my hero when I thought you were playing on the road for several months. Since you straightened me out, you're now my hero for your 5-month camping trip. Marty,
You are an impressive songwriter—this is another great composition, and the vocal fits so well with it. Love all those internal rhymes and near rhymes in the lyrics—not an easy thing to do. Dave does a wonderful job on the guitar tracks . . . but whoever did the mixing . .. wow, everything sticks together just right. Impressive!
My best to you both,
Deej WOW! Thanks so much, Deej. Thanks for noticing the internal rhymes.  loved those water drop fx in each ear.
my goodness this must have been a ton of work...

om Thanks, OM! [i like the e e cummings signature type] YES!! You mention that harmonic chord Dave plays at 3:10. I was floored by the whole solo (all of his tracks really), and he does another at the very end. You're so kind.

moto Thanks, Moto. I love that "A transcendental voyage into the inner sanctum of the mind." That's what I call the knockout punch, Marty! Haha. Thanks, Ed. Now I gotta revive you. I've loved this song ever since I heard the original demo, and had a blast working on it. Thanks to everyone that that mentioned my part in this exceptional song I can't mention you enough on this one, Dave. Your enthusiasm, guidance, and PLAYING for this one gave it the energy it needed. Yeah, your arps are perfect and your fills add so much, but that solo... man, it doesn't get any better than that. KILLER KILLER SONG!!! Always love your songs, your vocals, and your playing!!! AND I feel the same way about Dave!! GREAT stuff guys!!! Take care. Greg Thanks, Greg. I was playing some of your songs for my 7 year-old granddaughter the other day, and she said, "Wow, Babu, you KNOW this guy?"

Wow. You are a top, top-notch musician, that much is clear. The text is thought-provoking, the production seamless. Dave Bell does a tremendous job, here, too. The bass and singing are excellent. As you may gather, I like it :-)
Someone (I think it was Janice and Bud) mentioned the word "epic". That just about sums it up, for me. Well done!!!

Marty and Dave, this is hands down my favorite track you guys have done! I think it's hitting high marks in every area! Marty, the vocal is your best to date IMHO! Dave's guitar work really makes this track sound sweet! Those arpeggios throughout really give the track a distinctive sound! Great work all around! Thanks, Torrey

Hi Marty,
This is something different, isn't it? Very, very well done!
I really enjoyed hearing you singing that (big) lyrics and you did that with passion!
Far away in the distance I got some feelings from that Rawhide song, if you can remenber that.
But far better and more distinguished, so I hope I didn't offend you.
And I had a nice listen to it in a warm sojourn, so to say...
Have a nice weekend, Marty!
Hans

Terrific job on both song and video Marty.
Sometimes long songs don't hold my attention. You kept me listening all the way from start to finish. Kudos to Dave too.

Ride the snake!
The snake is long!
Seven miles!
Lost in a Roman wilderness of pain!
The blue bus is calling us!
Weird scenes inside the gold mine!
I knew Mojo wasn't dead.
He's alive!
It's Marty! And Robby Krieger is Dave!!
Whoah!!!!!!!!!
Riders on the Storm man!
Time to dance with the spirit of a million golden dawns and break on through to the other side!!!!
Goodbye!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Transmission ends. Silence.

This is a finely textured production.
The bass and Dave's guitars are out of this world and give the song its unique, pleasing sound.
Utterly fantastically done!

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."
