Hi everybody
Another collab with my pal John Vaughan.
He supplied the lyrics which I added to and subtracted from.
The music is pure BIAB with copy and paste.
Does it sound clear to you?

and a warm breeze in the air
On the porch after supper
in their chairs
Holding hands quite contented
like that day that they first met
Other's charms never tasted
No regrets

looks at her empty chair
and longs again to stroke
her silver hair

If you want to know what love is
Don't take more than you give
That is how they started
and that's the way they lived
Want to know what love is?
Just look into the eyes
where truth, joy and sadness
can abide

There's a sale sign at the gate
and the light is by the moon
Then he says to his heart
"I'll be there soon".
Now the autumn wind's a blowing
over grass that's overgrown
with the chairs rocking slowly on their own

If you want to know what love is
It's joy and then it's pain
and even when it's gone it shall
remain
If you want to know what love is
It's a light that's always lit
If you want to know what love is
This is it

Hi Vic,

What a sensitive song, beautiful!
Nice guitarplay and very good lyrics.
I think this is what love is...

I only think you need to sing a bit further from the mike, Vic.
The song deserves that.

Vic,

You have such a lovely touch on a song . . . your vocal sounds so J. Cash like . . . warm, earthy and very cool. You’ve done a great job bringing the sweetness of the lyrics to life. I have my headphones on . . . and I don’t think the vocal is too far forward . . . in fact, I’d like it to open up a tad more actually. The only nit for me on the vocal is perhaps the sibilance . . . more noticeable on the laptop than through the headphones. There’s an occasional squeak on the acoustic guitar you might want to dampen, but that’s putting us in real nitty territory. It’s a terrific tune as it stands . . . well done!

Hope all is well in your world,

Deej

Vic, this is a very powerful song about love and it is totally true

The lyrics "If you want to know what love is
Don't take more than you give" and
"If you want to know what love is
It's a light that's always lit
If you want to know what love is
This is it" is exactly what love is

This is your best to date IMHO

Absolutely 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.

You always have something interesting to say. I got rid of the squeaks and, I hope, most of the sibilance.
Thank you.

A masterpiece. I'm not exaggerating when I say that this one left me a little shaking by the end of it, and with more than just a tear in my eyes. I'm so happy I stumbled across this one, on here. No criticisms. I don't care what the mix sounds like, etc. ... this song would move anyone, regardless of the production - which, by the way, is indeed very good (for the record). But the song, and your singing of it ... wow. I'm going to listen to it one more time, now, if I can make it through it a second time without shaking and/or tears ... congratulations.

Wow! Never thought I'd have a masterpiece in anyone's ears but it's a nice thought.
I can only take part credit for the lyrics though and hand over the other part to John Vaughan, who wrote the original. Thanks Firesong.

Vic

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."
