Marty,
You knocked this one outta-the-park!
Everything is well done.
Good write. A clever hook and you "wrote to it" really well. Good lines all over the place.
My favorite of yours.
Well sung.
Excellent BAND. Good solo! (and cool Bass, of course).
Excellent mix.
Like it. Like it. Like it!!!
fj Thanks you, Thank you. Thank you, Floyd. Your inspiration is never-ending. I thought of you often when writing this one. So much so that if I ever made any money on it, you'd get half. O' course half o' nothin' ain't much, but my gratitude is infinte. Hi Marty,
Well, the stomach flu certainly did sort of good work.
The vocal really sounds a bit affected, seized with emotion.
Perfectly fits this song.
Which is a really good song!
Rob and Anne-Marie Thanks you guys. Rob, I can't mention this enough, but you did an outstanding job mixing Andi's song. Such variety of sounds to work with, and you brought them all together so well. Marty suffers for his art.
It's the part of song recording that defeats me every time - I can't act with my voice.
Your voice does have the right edge to it on this song - well done virus!
A good narrative...we all live with regrets and pressing the END button these days, which seems to happen far too easily, compounds the problem.
A sad story wrapped in a very comfy arrangement & melody.
Nothing superfluous...nothing missing.
VERY cool. Thanks so much, Ray. Hey, I like your vocals. You don't need to act because you're good right out of the gate. [A Kentucky Derby reference.] Marty, what a fantastic song
Everything is so well balanced and your vocal was very strong
Outstanding lyrics
This took me back to the early 60s
Your best to date
Thanks, Mario. Well-placed on the timeline, man. I was thinking pre-Beatles, around the time they were partying in Hamburg.

Hi Marty, This is a very nice sad (ex-) lovesong! I loved it from the start, mainly because I always like this kind of chord progressions that force one into singing heartbraking things. And you did that with the right touch in your vocals! But I also had to laugh about Dave wrote: Good one, Marty, man, you are such a good writer! Vocal turned out great too. because that writing brought you into trouble!!! Hans haha, yeah, you are right, Hans. I should have said lyricist, not writer

Wrong to write ... mega cool. A new and clever take on remorse. And we get to see the sentimental side of Babu. Fine vocal, bass, and mix --- no surprises there  Well done in both the audio and video departments! J&B

Loved the vocal Marty. Delicate delivery. So appropriate for your lyric. Excellent story telling. So much emotion. Lovely backtrack to frame vocal. the intro and guitar break was excellent as well.
The soundcloud version sounded my better than the youtube link.

I love this.
Excellent... top to bottom, start to finish... Thanks, bloc-head. Good one, Marty, man, you are such a good writer! Vocal turned out great too. I really liked this comment, Dave. But --see below. Hello Marty
great song
Very nice melody
In addition a very good singing
Your songs are always very different.
that's exactly what I like about your music
Great work
Many greetings
Andi ;-) Thanks, Andi. Appreciate that, man. Sounds like the stomach flu agrees with you Don't take it back, I like it. moto Haha. Cool comment, Moto. Thanks. Hi Marty, This is a very nice sad (ex-) lovesong! I loved it from the start, mainly because I always like this kind of chord progressions that force one into singing heartbraking things. And you did that with the right touch in your vocals! But I also had to laugh about Dave wrote: Good one, Marty, man, you are such a good writer! Vocal turned out great too. because that writing brought you into trouble!!! I was thinking if it could have been nice if you sang this song in a collaboration with Deej. He has that tremelo you were trying to achive. Both your voices could sound great in the chorusses, don't you think? But without his vocals I still enjoyed your song a lot! Is she back yet? Hans Thanks, Hans. Good suggestion about asking Deej. I love his voice. But I'll admit I'm confused about what you're saying about Dave's comment... ...and this didn't help me understand: haha, yeah, you are right, Hans. I should have said lyricist, not writer Thanks, Dave. But are you saying I'm not very good at writing the music part? hehe

Lyrics with wit and emotion. It was right to write such a beautiful ballad. I really enjoyed the mourning and regret in your voice. The cello gives nice depth to the mood. Excellent solo writes all the right notes.

Marty,
Super tune. Sad, yet listens very easy. Excellent vocals. Clever progression. Mix is top notch. Some good things come out even out of stomach flu...Who knew. Liked it! Thank you for sharing.
Misha.
P.S. I need some of those vitamins you are taking.

The soundcloud version sounded my better than the youtube link. Thanks, Scott. Yes, unfortunately YT really compresses the track, and sometimes the video distracts appreciation of the music.

Janne Thanks, Janne. Glad you notice the regret and mourning. Yeah, that subtle cello seems to make a loud statement to me, too. Marty,

P.S. I need some of those vitamins you are taking. Thanks, Misha. Yes, the stomach flu gave it that edge of sleeplessness caused by crying or something.

What a pretty song Marty! You did a super job with vocals and bass! That cello following along tracing the melody really sounds good! You always do great work! Thanks, Torrey

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."
