HERE'S MY CUP I've had the melody for this one on my mind for quite a while. I haven't had a lot of time to make music lately but decided to sit down today and get this done. I wrote most the lyrics today also. The chorus has that old familiar AM to D thing going on that we've heard in many songs. Hopefully I've been able to put a new twist on it! I only used RealDrums from BIAB on this and played everything else. Because of the heavily syncopated parts throughout the tune, I had to do some major editing on the drums, especially in the chorus. Thanks for taking time to listen! I always appreciate it!

Hi Torrey,
Man, I have so much respect for you! I don't think I know anyone else that is so skilled on so many instruments.
Love the melody! And for someone who struggles with writing lyrics it blows me away that you wrote this in a day.
Everything sounds great, loved it!
Hope you and your family have a fantastic Christmas and I'm looking forward to hearing what next year brings.

Hello Torrey really good song The intro is really exceptional The vocals fit the song very well I was actually going to write that you put together a great band in BiaB until I read that you play everything yourself except the drums. Unbelievable !!! And your guitar solo is absolutely top notch.
I wish you and your family a Merry Christmas and a happy and healthy New Year 2022. And keep up the great song ideas
Many greetings Andi ;-)

The verse is mellow, with an unexpected harder edge to the chorus. Cool bridge! Glad you could find one instrument to share with BiaB... although it's probably just a matter of time before you master the drums as well. Lots of really neat things happening in this song! It's always great to hear one of your songs.

Torrey, I'm glad you found the time to work on this. Lovely melody & arrangement with cool changes. The 1st four lines suggest you're not quite finished with this one...the same section in V2 is better realized. Love your work...love your voice even more.

Good offering. I like the melody. I don't know about the Am to D movement. I like it though. Wonderful electric guitar playing.
Nice job.
p.s. Thanks for the listen and comments on my song. I appreciate it.

Torrey...you continue to amaze...first things first the lyrics are prayerful but no-one has ever said prayer has to be sedate and dreary...I suspect the Lord appreciates that...the music and vocals are what we've come to expect from you...excellent...the syncopation is refreshing...maybe someday BiaB will get that down so the rest of us can do it but until then...keep bringing it brother...that was so good!

Great melody and vocal/instrumental performances. A near one man show here! A One day write? Wow.
What stood out most for us was the excellent melody and overall arrangement.
Well done and Merry Christmas!

Torrey, you are a very talented multi-instrumentalist! Plus you have a fantastic voice and second to none mixing skills.
Loved it.
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.

Hello Torrey,
Of course a nice song, because it's made by Torrey Bliss! Really liked how the choruses were sung, apart from all the other nice things.
Good one, Torrey!

Torrey,
Very nice song and it's very impressive. It's great that the guitar traces the same melody as the vocals. You are a very talented multi-instrumentalist and song writer. Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.

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."
