I Have To Thank You F#m Bpm 165 A fast folk style (Eventide Low Strings Fast Folk) I wrote this one for my wife. All comments welcome [video:youtube] https://youtu.be/Rth_JOXJwq4[/video] Those roads I've traveled left many miles behind. At times I've struggled, it just can't be denied. You held my hand, you saw me through. Now its time for me to say, I thank you Bridge Your there to help me through my deepest dark despair. I cannot count the times, you always have been there. Your like a fires spark that warms me like you do. Now it's time for me to say, I thank you. Bridge You held my hand you saw me through. Now its for me to say, I love I wake each morning and know that you'll be there. Yes, I have to thank you for your gentle loving care. You held my hand, you saw me through. Now its time for me to say, I love you Yes, I have to thank you for the good things you've done. You here from early morning till the setting of the sun A fast folk style with two "low strings" instruments: A bowed acoustic bass playing held notes and a cello that alternates between simple melodic playing and root notes. Two acoustic guitars provide fingerpicking and strumming, panned far to the left and right. NashvilleBrushesEasyBluegrass RealDrums start with brushes in the A section and add sidestick hits in the B section. This song is in the key of F#m/A and uses basic major/minor triads, which change every 4 to 8 beats. ****** Song Summary ************* Title: I Have To Thank You File:I Have To Thank You-nofx.SGU Key=F#m, Tempo 165, Length (m:s)=2:54 4 bar intro, 112 bar chorus, from bar 5 to bar 116.

Wow! This is classic "folk" as it gets!  The country fiddle was a surprise, but I love the sound here. Cool ending.

Rob,
your voice fits into this beautifully.
I'm not a fan of the fiddle as it seems to lift the mood rater than deepen it but that's fine too.
ACE.
Cheers

Hi Rob,
what a wonderful and lovely love song. I can so much relate to that gratefulness ...
And it's musically so well-done, too! And the video is so nice also.
Very, very nice job.
Take care,
Stefan

The reverb of the singing is really nice
The fiddle soli fit perfectly
Great performance, Rob

Hello Rob ...
What a great song! Loved the video, too.
At the 1:34 - 1:37, then again at 2:04 - 2:06, the music was a wee bit piercing. Maybe if you cut back on the upper mid frequency a bit, or dropped the volume a touch, it would allow the richness of the note to better define itself. Just a thought FWIW.
All that said, it's a really great song and you have the perfect voice for it! Very niuce, indeed!
Best to you ...
Alan

What a great song you produced for your wife.
Although I liked everything about this song it was your vocal and especially your lyrics that took it over the top for me. Super mix and backing tracks also.
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.

Nice touch with that fiddle, Rob. It seems to accentuate the joyful gratitude of the lyrics. A wonderful song for a wonderful woman, I'm sure.

Rob,
A wonderful folksy love song—nice production and arrangement, though I agree with Alan that there a couple spots where it was a bit harsh, and I might dial back on the reverb on the vocal a tad (maybe—see what others think)—all of which is an easy fix. The fiddle rocks! Great work on this!
All my best to you,
Deej

Very good song, and well sung. You have one of my favorite voices on the forum. I did feel like the vocal processing hid the beauty of your voice, which I've come to know well. Maybe it was the reverb. I've not noticed this on any of your past tracks, did you do something different this time? Might be an easy fix, or might just be my ears are in error. Still a worthy listen!

Great song Rob - obviously heartfelt.
The backing tracks are inspired choices and your vocal performance is first class.
Great work.

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."
