A short time ago I posted this song (Hey There) as a saxophone instrumental and I appreciate all of the comments...I'm posting today the original vocal rendition that inspired that instrumental...my daughter Amber does the vocals and this maybe my favorite song she's ever done for me and she has done a ton of them (bless her heart!)...the song is about loneliness and hope...if you choose to...thanks for listening...Dan

Hey There
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wzpLKyKH16U&t=2s

BiaB components:
518 Bass
1856 Cello
2667 Pedal Steel
364 Acoustic guitar

Vocals: Amber Eaker
Strings and synths: me
Lyrics:
Hey there, I see that far away look in your eyes
Hey there, I know it really comes as no surprise...to you
Cause you’ve felt this way so many times before
There’ve been those who say they love you
Then they walked right out the door
It leaves you lonely and lifeless... and looking for a friend

Hey there, I see those shadows growing in your heart
Hey there, I know you just can’t find a place to start...anew
Cause you’ve searched through all the places
You always seem to go
And you’ve looked through all the faces of everyone you know
It leaves you lonely and lifeless... and looking for a friend

Searching for someone who'll really care
Looking deep inside for answers that aren’t there
Hoping in your heart there’s someone who will share with you

Hey there, there’s someone who’s been knocking at your door
Hey there, He’s the One your heart’s been longing for
He’ll never leave you or forsake you, you can trust in Him
His love will hold you and will take you to the very end

Never lonely or lifeless again...you’ve found a Friend
Never lonely or lifeless again...you’ve found a Friend
You’ve found a Friend

Dan,

As much as I liked the instrumental version, this wins out for me! Your vocalist has done such a wonderful job here! It's a pro performance for sure! The melody is catchy...one of the best I've ever heard here! It's a total work of art that should be appreciated by any listener! Thanks, Torrey

Thank you Torrey...can't tell you how much I value your thoughts...yeah, "my vocalist" has been singing for me, with me and to me since she was a toddler...my favorite voice in the world...oh, by the way it was your video (Here's My Cup) that turned me on to Vedan Media (I've used their clips for three videos now)...again thanks for your kind and encouraging words...Dan

Dan,

Your daughter has an awesome voice. Her vocal, your instrumentation, and your playing skills make this a winner.

It I heard this in a CD shop I would have purchased it.

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.

Hi, Dan.

What Torrey, Mario and bloc-head said - top shelf all the way.

Remember on that prior thread where you wrote:

This song proves you to be overly modest. wink

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Wow, so gorgeously done, Dan. Yeah, you can't miss with Amber at the mic. Beautiful voice, and spectacular harmonies. What a strong build to the song. Love the modulation. Man, those strings are so well done, too. The whole band plays from the same page, and it's such a well-written page.


Enjoy whatever happens!

My sincere thanks to all of you talented artists that have taken the time to listen and comment on Hey There...Amber can deliver a heart-felt and passionate delivery every time...the sincerity and vulnerability of her voice always melts my heart (but I'm slightly prejudiced)...however I can tell she has the same effect on some of you...again thanks for your kind and encouraging comments...Dan

Good song, beautifully sung. The production was terrific, strings and harmonies knocked me out. Way to go!

Hey thanks Bob...I don't know what a "sync placement" is...but I'm assuming it's good?...I appreciate your comments.

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."

Our Customer Service hours this weekend are:

Friday, March 29: 8-4
