My word!!! It's 15 past midnight here, and I'm listening to this ... wow. Had problems with my browser, wouldn't let me play this song, hence my lateness with my comments. Regardless: WOW. I can't articulate my feelings at this hour on listening to this, but: one of the most beautiful songs I've heard you sing, Floyd. Full credit to you and to the Merritts. I may post again, in the morning, when I'll hopefully be more articulate. One line, though: "always hoping you'll be on the other side". We've ALL been there, the way you write has universal appeal, because you talk to some of the deepest feelings that any human who has even remotely lived a little has had, and you know how to "press our buttons", emotionally speaking. CONGRATULATIONS to ALL responsible for this small masterpiece :-)

Beautiful, moving song, and a performance that delivers!!!!! I've never heard you sound better Floyd, and that's saying A LOT!!! And Janice adds some golden glitter to everything she touches!!!
Some AMAZING lyrics here:
so many years out on the edge
i'm still crawling through my wreckage
always hoping you'll be on the other side
and desperately hoping to stop the slide
Does not get any better than that!!!
Beautiful job by all involved!!! Happy New Year!! Greg Greg - Thanks for the nice review!! Bud deserves the credit for those lines. I tweaked a couple of words or phrases, but basically, that's ALL the boy from Georgia. Great song, passionately sung.
I thought a lot about Dave's 'not buying the premise,' but after spending a lot of time going over the lyrics, I decided that they worked fine for me.
Stellar work as always. Thanks, TM!! Hi Floyd, I tried to listen, but my computer said '"no"
Severall times; no connexion.
Have you noticed that too now?
Hans Hans - I addressed this earlier... sorry that you cannot hear it...

Hi Floyd & Team,
Good song and well sung.
Congratulations.
Best Regards
Nigel Thanks! J&B Hi Floyd, Janice and Bud,
a remarkable song !
First impression: It sounds brilliant. Very nice lyrics, very convincingly sung. Love that unobtrusive backing track.
And those BGV - nobody does them like Janice !!!
The echo part came unexpectedly, but was very effective.
Just great.
A happy and most of all healthy New Year to you all,
Stefan Thank you Stefan. We appreciate your kind remarks and support. We wish the absolute best to you and Maha! J&B Wow what a way to finish the year. Floyd, Janice and Bud what a beautiful song. I am speechless. Simple amazing. Thank Scott! Happy New Year. J&B

Hi, Floyd, Bud and Janice !:)
What a wonderful co-op !
Don´t know that I´d heard
anything more beautiful
from you than this !
a Very Happy New Year
to all of you and thanks for
this masterpiece !
Cheers
Dani Thanks from the lot of us, Dani... Beautiful song! Man, such great writing! And the vocals are sublime. Love the "calling, calling" bit at 2:39, and loved the ending too. Nice way to end off the year I think  We appreciate that, Dave.... I don;t know who wrote the opening line "i know i should have drawn the line/a drink or two before closing time," Bud or you, but it sure is a good one!
"a fool opens dangerous doors/forgiveness has its limits, you reached yours"---Man, that's great too!
Excellent vocal and Janice's harmony blends so well with your voice. Thanks, Scott. Those lines (both) were a mix of Bud's ideas and me expanding on them - so a CO-Write!! And thanks for the note on the blend - I agree!! My word!!! It's 15 past midnight here, and I'm listening to this ... wow. Had problems with my browser, wouldn't let me play this song, hence my lateness with my comments. Regardless: WOW.

Oh, what a beautiful way to return to the forum after such a tragic Christmas here. Right at the top is a song from my favorites. What a wonderful co-write, and an amazing production.

Thanks Marty. floyd always turns our efforts into real songs! J&B Beautiful, moving song, and a performance that delivers!!!!! I've never heard you sound better Floyd, and that's saying A LOT!!!

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option
Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!
Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

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."
