https://soundcloud.com/user-280077892/burn-away-the-painHello There. - my first post - sharing a song I wrote recently. Pretty much all of the music is BIAB. It took me less than a day start to finish, writing recording, mixing and mastering. Please feel free to critique and let me know what you think - and thank you so very much for the chance to showcase and for listening. LyricsVerse 1Well I wish I could have told you, as I held you close to me Nights we'd lie and dream down on the bay Setting out our future, as the stars crossed overhead Searching out the words I long to say ChorusHold me close, lay down by my side Wrap me in your arms 'til daylight comes again Feel my heartbeat pounding as we leave the world behind 'Cos loving you can burn away the pain Loving you can burn away the pain Verse 2Poor boy lost in romance, rich girl lost in dreams Young love can be sweet love, so they say But young love can turn bitter, and young love can be blind When reality and the world get in the way ChorusVerse 3Days speed by unoticed, years go past unseen Memories are stored for years to come Just living every moment, and sharing every smile Searching for our place out in the sun Chorus Repeat and EndI used the _FIELDS.STY for the style - but added a little here and there. The piano track is 1264 acoustic shining, the Drums are Nashville BrushesEasyBluegrass and the acoustic guitar solo is from my favourite Brent Mason 3199, backing acoustic guitar is 2933 Hope the info helps someone Regards Eddie

Eddie, Nice vocal! Nice use of BIAB. Well mixed. Good first post. Welcome to the Showcase. (It can be helpful if you include a lyric to follow along...And a list of BIAB tracks used - so we can "steal" the good stuff  ... that acoustic guitar lead track is especially nice!!) A very pleasant listen. fj

Great title that snapped my grim attention right up – and attention was rewarded by the hearing of a very sweet, simple song. A very pleasant listen.
I have to say, though, the central concept of the lyric kind of freaks me out! I get that "loving you will burn away the pain" is meant to be good, meaning love is soothing, but I can't help but think of fire, and burns, and even vampires bursting into flame. The word "burn" is really kind of jarring in there, though possibly that is your intent.

Hi, Eddie. Sounds great - solid "classic folk"! Excellent vocal - both the singing and phrasing. Subtle harmonies. Good mix and arrangement. The acoustic guitar sounds especially sweet. Not really anything to "critique'.  Well, the guitar solo at the end was a bit unfocused so I would have ended it a bit sooner.

Great song, Eddie. I really enjoyed it. It’s catchy and well executed
Do I perhaps detect a South African accent in the vocal? (We’re everywhere these days)

Cauterizing affection?
Nice work, good arrangement.
I hear the vocal as slightly left of centre in my headphones - could be my headphones though.
A little sibilant stuff could be dealt with to allow the intimate vocal to be fully effective.
Cheers

Nice first post. Nothing like busting through the door and saying "I'm here to play some music for you". Loved the vocal in the mix. I echo Floyd's comments.... (It can be helpful if you include a lyric to follow along...And a list of BIAB tracks used - so we can "steal" the good stuff ... that acoustic guitar lead track is especially nice!!)
was that acoustic you playing live? Nice work
You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

Your remarks reminded me of A German TV advert where they showed a gas burner slowly getting bigger and brighter - the background music was Johnny Cash's 'Ring Of Fire' and the advert was for hemerrhoid cream!! Thanks for listening and commenting

I do play acoustic - but unfortunately not well enough to play that - when I do it live I resort to a catchy strum lol

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."
