Touching song Dewey. Pain and pride, what an odd mixture. The gold star is something nobody wishes for.

This is one great song. Structure is good and the vocals are terrific!

To be honest, as a newcomer to BIAB, I have been going through the showcase to get a taste of what can be done with the software, and yours is the first song I have listened to all the way through. It's not that the others are bad, btw, it is just that they were not my style or what I was looking for.

Your song was not the style of music I usually listen to either, but it grabbed me with its sense of honor(as well as musical arrangement and performance). The type of honor that brings with it a sense of melancholy due to sacrifices made.

Well done, Dewey.

Very kind of you to say, Sterling! This song was inspired by the perpetual feeling of loss my sister is experiencing when her son died in a Army training accident a couple of years of go. I can't wait to hear your productions down the road.

Na zdrowie!

Dewey...this is brilliant,,,what a touching and well constructed song...every part of it from the first words to the last captured me with the story...the vocal was superb and the harmony part was so passionate and enhanced the lead vox perfectly...this is a timeless song and one that touches the common heart and that's about the highest compliment I can give a piece of music...brilliant hook...so, so well done!

Hi, Dewey.

Great write!

I mean, the vocals, harmonies, and arrangement are excellent as well.

But a really good write - the kind of song that gets your attention and holds it all the way through.

Nicely done! laugh

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

Dewey,

A solid write.

Nice use of BIAB. Strong vocals (and BGVs). Well mixed.

A good listen. A little "classic Country" and a trace of "John Denver ness".

Well done.

Love it, Dewey, right from the title. The second time a song on this forum this morning made me stand to listen. Excellent choice of instruments and your vocals are flawless and engaging.


Enjoy whatever happens!
