Hi All, Here's another one of those "in the draw" songs that I have revisited over the years for lyric changes, etc. Happy to have finally and properly recorded it. This is called Blue Moon You. A mysterious light Cut a hole in the night Fell while you counted sheep I could tell by the skies It was the moon in your eyes You were fast asleep There was no sound of the rain I wasn’t going insane It was the drumming of my heart It was a brilliant display Before the sun came our way And hung in the sky like art I know I can’t keep the night from fading Or hold on to the light we knew But I can dream beside you now Blue moon you Then a purposeful sun Let the night be done The sky was summer blue I walked a million miles Turned a million dials Just to hear the morning news There were no hurricanes On my caffeine brain It was one more day in our life It was an early reminder I needed to find her Singing by the radio light I know I can’t keep the night from fading Or hold on to the light we knew But I can dream beside you now Blue moon you The mysterious light Makes its way every night Covers you from the sky I could tell by the dawn It was a snowy morn But the years they roll on by I know I can’t keep the night from fading Or hold on to the light we knew But I can dream beside you now Blue moon you BIAB Tracks: 2474: Bass, Acoustic, Held Ev 085 1765: Guitar, High-Strung Acoustic, Fingerpicking Ev16 085 1856: Cello, Background PopCountry Ev 085 378: Guitar, Acoustic, Strumming DoubleTime Ev 088 796: Guitar, Electric, Rhythm, ModernCountrySync Ev 100 RealDrums: NashTrainEv16 Blastix 16th Loop: House-Techno-Trance/House 120 Drums Thanks for listening!

Bob,
I can say without reservation that this is my favorite song from you! I love the flow of this song, it's kind of got an America sound. Great vocal and background vox!
Thanks, Torrey

Yeah, like Torrey said. I really like the lyrics. So well written at such a high level of expertise. Excellent metaphor. And the vocals are also so well done. Good use of BiaB, and a professional mix. Strong from start to finish, Bob.

Very nice song. I really liked the writing and the words stand out in the mix. I also liked the fade out. Could be just my ears, but I thought the overall sound could use a little more bottom end.

Bob, this is your best to date IMHO.
Great vocals and lyrics.
The perfect backing band.
Super mix.
Loved it

Definitely your best one so far! An instant classic I would say.
I also detect a The Byrds sound. That's good :-).
Very nice artwork, by the way.

We also got the Byrds feel on this song. . .
Yeah, channeling Roger vocally and with the jangly guitar - a good thing!
Great mix and art work as always.
You’re such a good poet, Bob, and this phrase has stuck in Janice’s mind since she first listened.
“There were no hurricanes
On my caffeine brain
It was one more day in our life”
Enjoyed it!

Hi Bob ...
Definitely the best/favorite I've heard from you in quite some time ... possibly ever.
My take is a Dylan lyric performed by the Byrds. Can't get much better than that for a throwback in time to that era. You have one of the best unique sounds I think I've ever heard. After two words, there's no doubt it's Bob Dean at the mic. And the backing tracks and styles are always the best for the lyric. Simply awesome! Always love your work!!!
Alan

Excellent.
A solid write. Excellent lyric and a terrific upbeat groove and good melody.
You always make BIAB sound like Robert Dean's Band. So Good.
And a solid mix.
You are an artist.

I like the song and your lyrics. A lot.
Your voice reminds me a bit of the Waterboys, I like it.
Your mix sounds a bit bright, I think a couple dB more bass would make it sound more balanced.

Very nice poetry again, really enjoyed the images of day/night and sun/moon. Catchy chorus using the famous chord structure. The band sounds nicely light, good singing in the higher register.

The bright jangly mix is a good fit to the Dylanesque lyrics.
Glad you got this off the paper and recorded right!

Bob,
Listened to this a couple of weeks back or so . . . absolutely love this tune. The write is beyond words—the internal rhyming and prosody just make the lyrics pop. The mix is your usual crisp and clear, with that vocal shining through up front. Catchy, ear worm chorus! Man, this is just outstanding. Beyond radio-ready!
You’ve written some killer tunes . . . for me, this one sits on top.
My very humble regards,
Deej

Nicely written, nicely performed.

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.
Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

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."
