Back To The Rhythm on Soundcloud UPDATED Back To The Rhythm on YouTube UPDATED That's my son, Matt, overlooking Bryce Canyon NP for the cover. When I first opened BiaB 2022 I rushed to audition some of the new blues styles. I stopped at ECHO1.STY (Echo Fast Blues Rumba) and started writing. I also was in a hurry to try the multi-chord feature, but at 150BPM they sounded like a blur. I eventually slowed it down to 135 just to accommodate the words. At the very end you can hear 7 chords in one measure. I also took advantage of the improved Utility Tracks and added stems from different drummers. The verses are designed to be chaotic, and it was a bit difficult for this old man to sing. The choruses bring back an easier pace with harmony. The bridge, as always, is a different version of the same song. Style is _ECHO1.STY (Echo Fast Blues Rumba) RealTracks in song: 3991:Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm RumbaBluesKevin Ev 120 RealTracks in style: 3987:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm RumbaBluesFastPat 150 RealDrums [in style:BluesRumbaFastPercEv^2-a:Tom, Sidestick, Perc , b:Snare, Percussion Utility Track in song: 6 different stems Dave Bell of Blue Attitude played guitars, both the rhythm and lead. Janice Merritt sang the high harmony, and Bud added some excellent advice and encouragement. I played bass and sang. It asks the question: Have we lost all... The rhythm of the water The rhythm of the waves The rhythm of all Natural sounds that guide us to or graves Back To The RhythmEverybody here is going to and fro in Time, and I'm just sittin' on the sidelines mostly acting blind. Something in this wicked pace has taken o'er control. I'm tryin' not to lose my face and hide within my soul. I look to my left and see that nothing's right. Then I look to my right and see there's nothing left. Swirling seas and windy trees are swaying all so wrong. You can look for me, but I'll be gone. CH: I'm goin' back to the rhythm --back to the rhythm of life, Gonna take all that's given, and let the light shine bright. Darkness falls upon the land and everybody runs as different drummers lose the beat when twos turn into ones. Chaos reigns in double time. The beat goes all which ways. It's clouding out that piece of mind where all the music plays. I look straight ahead and know there's no way out. When I look back behind I'm blinded by the doubt. Waltzes clash with marching blasts and common time is wrong. You can look for me, but I'll be gone. CH: I'm goin' back to the rhythm --back to the rhythm of life, Where Time is forgiven. No more chaos or strife. BR: I remember not long ago when all the birds would sing. They'd repeat the songs we know. Our rhythm was our king. But now the winds of Time are blowing uncontrolled by chance. It seems they've lost the rythm of the dance. Oh, come on. Bring it back. SOLO Darkness lays about the land and everybody hides, and different drummers miss the beat when ones turn into fives. Chaos sews a stitch time, and life just lost the beat. The shoddy rythm clouds the line for dancin' in the street. I look to my left and still there's nothin right. Then I look to my right and see that's all that's left. Hands of Time are out of line, and metronomes are wrong. You can look for me, but I'll be gone. --1stCH - 2ndCH I'm goin' back to the rhythm --back to the rhythm of life, I'm goin' back to the rhythm, and everything will be alright. to fade [color:#3366FF][/color]

Marty (& Dave & Janice),
It's hard to imagine that you would ever LEAVE the rhythm. A natural part of BabuMusic.
Bass sounds great.
Dave's solo is excellent. Great tone.
Heck of a job getting all of those words in! Vocal is well recorded.
Background vocals are Sweet! (they could be a little louder).
The guiro gets a little distracting at times (it tends to be too loud in all the RealDrums that include it).
Cool song! Keep that rhythm!!!

Wow,
BIG message,
Lots of words in that message.
The band is cool...yeah the guirro gets a bit loud...maybe some mid side EQ could deal with that.
Mr Bell rings out another fab one. Excellent bvox that could high light a little more.
Terrific package.
Cheers

Wow Marty, you surely had to work a while to get the phrasing of those vocal lines down! It's a cool track with an infectious rhythm! That bass is thumping out some notes (your fingers were surely sore after working on that....excellent btw! Daves guitar is sizzling in here...it's a slightly different sounding tone than I remember from him but works very well with this track! And last of all, you can't go wrong with Janice helping with the bg vox! Enjoyed it! Thanks, Torrey

Excellent tune. Interesting new features on BIAB 2022. Loved the vocal and harmonies. BPM 135 my poor old hands could not handle that tempo. Loved the guitar and bass lines. Nice to see you four get together for a collaboration. Well done

Hi Marty
Interesting and cool song
Has a great sound
Your vocals fit very nicely and I think it's somehow even cooler when you watch the video for it. Really well done
The lyrics are very original but your text has also brought my translator a little out of rhythm ;-))))
Dave has recorded a great solo
Janice makes the refrain only perfect - Super
You are already a top team
I liked it very very much
Thanks a lot
One question: Did you animate the dancing 3D figures in the video ?
That looks absolutely great, Marty
Many greetings
Andi ,-)

Thanks, Floyd. I brought the BGVs up and tried to hide the güiro a bit. Unfortunately it is tied to the drum track so it all gets affected. It distracted me quite a bit, but I learned to ignore it. Not easy. Hi, Marty !:))
Wonderful., I loved this truly
much, somehow it takes one back
to youthood when everything was
so much less complicated !
Your harmonizing voices where
also great !
Great tune and great singing !

Thanks so much, Dani. Right. Simpler is key. That was fun... very good song/production, with excellent vocal, guitar, & bass performances. Way cool lyrics & arrangement... Thanks all. Thanks, bloc-head. Wow,
BIG message,

Terrific package. Thanks, Ray. I planned on punching in every other line like they do on fast-talking commercials, but I braved through a one-take --well, there were a few times I had to punch in because I got the words wrong. Definitely not a sing-along. I raised the harmony bus, but hiding the güiro was a bit more difficult, being attached to the rest of the main kit. It did get a bit muffled through the attempts though. Thanks for your always spot-on suggestions.

Marty & team
First off a really catchy chorus excellent.
Nice playing by you and Dave, bass sounded great as did Dave's solo.
Vocals were very well done and Janice and you sound excellent together on the chorus.
A very nice team effort that I enjoyed all the way through.

Fantastic! I always go with video when given the option and this video was superb. The song is outstanding. Great job to all. The lyrics were so well written. There is some good philosophy in them too. Clever word play, as in:
I look to my left and see that nothing's right. Then I look to my right and see there's nothing left.
This is a wonderful song. And the BIAB Wrecking Crew hit their marks too.

this is a very fun cute song.
that chord break at 1m37secs is superb.
only thing i might suggest is maybe slowing the tempo a tad to give the lead vocs more space for the enunciation.
but thats just moi.
the chorus is "very hooky" <<<EXCELLENT.
loved the chorus ending repeats. classic.
great effort.

Marty, Dave, Janice
Such a fun and unusual tune! Chaotically delicious. Fantastic vocals and phrasing! Dave, cool solo and guitar playing! Janice blends very nicely, but I wish she would be a notch louder. Extraordinary job of making all this work together. Wild. Enjoyed it much. Thank you for sharing and congrats on this wonderful music piece.
Misha.

And last of all, you can't go wrong with Janice helping with the bg vox! Enjoyed it! Thanks, Torrey Thanks, Torrey. My wife claims I mumble too much, except when I had too much wine --then I'm just a very loud mumbler. Yeah, that bass line was supposed to be chaotic at least in the verses. Not sure I like it that much, but it fits the lyrics. Yes, Dave is a guitar chameleon who can easily adapt to any song. Yes, Janice & Bud definitely raise this project to a much more pleasing sound. Excellent tune. Interesting new features on BIAB 2022. Loved the vocal and harmonies. BPM 135 my poor old hands could not handle that tempo. Loved the guitar and bass lines. Nice to see you four get together for a collaboration. Well done Thanks, Scott. Hope you know how much I appreciate your comments and ability. I'm pretty sure your hands can play rings around any BPM, but, man, I do like your slowhand approach. Thanks mentioning my small part within so many parts! We have no idea how he put all this together Janice Haha. You are not capable of "small" parts in any song your join, Janice. Everyone who talks to me about this song says something like, "Man, who is that chick singer in there? She really makes this song." Yeah, you remind of Mick Jagger singing in Carly Simon's You're So Vain --totally elevate the song to a much higher level of interest. I can't thank you enough. Hi Marty

Andi ,-) Hi, Andi. No, those "dancing droids" as Bud calls them matched almost perfectly. I was prepared to track their speed to match, but couldn't do any better than they already are. Thanks for listening and your comments.

These include more requested “soul jazz” RealTracks featuring artists Neil Swainson (bass), Charles Treadway (organ), Brent Mason (guitar), and Wes Little (drums). There are new “smooth jazz” styles (4), which include a RealTracks first: muted trumpet, as well as slick new smooth jazz brushes options for drums. Blues lovers will be thrilled—there are more “classic acoustic blues” styles, including guitar (5), bass (4), and drums (10) with blues master Colin Linden, featuring understated and tasty background acoustic soloing, plus brushes drums and acoustic bass. There are also new electric blues RealTracks, including electric blues with PG favorite Johnny Hiland (3) and soulful electric slide guitar from Colin Linden (4). If you love funk & gospel, there are great new options this year, including gospel organ (3) from Charles Treadway, as well as new funk, tango, and rock ’n’ roll drums (3) and bass (1). And for big, bold arrangements, we have uptempo soul horns (4) featuring a three-part hip horn section with options for a full mix or stems of each individual horn — plus an accompanying rhythm section (4) of drums, bass, guitar, and electric piano!
Rock & Pop (Sets 476–482):
Our new rock & pop RealTracks bring a powerful mix of requested favorites, fresh genres, and modern chart-inspired styles! We have more of our popular “Producer Layered Acoustic Guitars (15)” featuring Band-in-a-Box favorite Brent Mason. We’ve continued our much-requested disco styles (10), and added new Celtic guitar (5) with a more basic, accessible approach than our previous Drop-D or DADGAD offerings. There are also highly requested yacht rock styles (17), inspired by the smooth, polished soft-rock sound of the late ’70s and early ’80s — laid-back grooves, silky electric pianos, warm textures, elegant harmonic movement, and pristine production aesthetics. Fans of heavier styles will love our new glam metal (13), capturing the flashy, high-energy sound of ’80s arena-ready guitar rock. We also have a set of rootsy modern-folk rock (18), with a warm, organic sound combining contemporary folk textures and driving acoustic strumming. And we’ve added lots of new modern pop styles (16) — the kinds of sounds you’re hearing on the radio today, featuring exciting new drums, synths, and cutting-edge RealTracks arrangements.
Country, & Americana (Sets 483–488):
Our new country & Americana RealTracks deliver a rich collection of acoustic, electric, and roots-inspired styles! We have new country pop (9) with legendary guitarist Brent Mason. There is also a potpourri (14) of bouzouki, guitars, banjo, and more, perfect for adding texture and character to contemporary acoustic arrangements. We’ve added funky country guitar (5) with PG favorite Brent Mason, along with classic pedal steel styles (5) featuring steel great Doug Jernigan. There are more country songwriter styles (8) that provide intimate, rootsy foundations for storytelling and modern Americana writing. Finally, we have “background soloing” acoustic guitar (12) with Brent Mason — simpler, but still very tasty acoustic lines designed to sit beautifully behind vocals or act as a subtle standalone solo part.
Check out all the 202 new RealTracks (in sets 468-488)!
And, if you are looking for more, the 2026 49-PAK (for $49) includes an impressive collection of 20 bonus RealTracks, featuring exciting and inspiring additions to add to your RealTracks library.

There are also new indie-folk styles with guitar, bass, 6-string bass used as a high-chording instrument, acoustic guitar, and banjo. Plus, dedicated "cymbal fills" RealDrums provide an added layer that work very well with low-key folky styles with other percussion.
