Never Knowing Love on Soundcloud
Never Knowing Love on YouTube Some say I'm happy all the time and such a positive person. When they meet my wife, Barb, they knowingly nod. August 3rd is her birthday, and this one's for her --and you all pf course. It's a small expression of the ineffable experience of being married to her for 44 years. You always help me improve with some expert guidance, but please don't hold back if it's just an different opinion or preference you have. Your suggestions always help, and your opinions are always heavily considered, and I often learn important thing when I read your comments to others, too. Thanks so much. Style is _QUASAR.STY (Quasar Minimal Modern Pop Ballad) RealTracks in style: 2693:Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm ModernPop16thsMike Ev16 075 RealTracks in style: 2692:Organ, Rhythm ModernPopSlowMike Ev 075 RealTracks in song: 3647:Guitar, Acoustic, Fingerpicking IndieFolk16ths ev16 100 RealTracks in song: 2369:Strings, Rhythm PopCountry Ev 120 RealTracks in song: 2668:Pedal Steel, Background WestCoastBallad Ev 065 RealDrums in Song: CountryPopEv16^01-SSCldHt,SnrCH RealTracks in song: 1960:Tres, Rhythm Guajira Ev 120 RealDrums in style:NashvilleBrushesBalladPushEv16: a: Sidestick, Brushes b: Brushes Dave Bell ( Blue Attitude) played guitars and I did bass and sang. The sustaining F6 at the end was me on acoustic recording 2 different chord positions, both direct and mic'd resulting in 4 blended tracks for 1 chord. Sheesh. I gave BiaB one of these “ F6...” but nobody strummed in search of the last chord. Never Knowing LoveOnce you came into my life I could never ask for more. Until that day the best was out of reach I'm sure. I never dreamed what life could be when shared the way you share. You give it away in such a good way, and still have more to spare. I never would have seen the sky in such a pleasing blue I never would have known such love. I never would have you. CH: Now I'm going to sing of love you gave my life that fits me like a glove Your smiling eyes have saved my life from never knowing love. Long before your smiling eyes have shown be what love means my world was dark and I was lost alone it seems. But you came along and freed my soul from such a twisted fate. Now I see my life with you, my love, and know it's not too late.

Marty, congratulations on 44 years of marriage. I'm sure your wife loved this one, as did I.
Super vocal and lyrics.
The rhythm section was spot on and Dave's guitar was icing on the cake.
That bass wasn't to shabby either.
An excellent song.
Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up.

Marty,
the vocal is ace...perfectly placed in the mix and room.
Dave's playing is, as always, in the service of the song but also terrific in & of itself.
You "did the bass" as usual - spot on.
This could've been calypso, reggae, country but is at home as a bluesy ballad.
The F6 was worth the effort.
My partner of 39 years (married for 37) has her birthday on 17th August. I'm not so bold as to write a song of/for her...for a start, she doesn't much like my music, has a better ear than me & I don't write sincerity the way you do.
In other words - excellent lyric.
Cheers

This is beautiful! Wow. And yes, it's a very positive song! Luminous and festive - perfect for a special birthday, or for an anniversary. Loved the video, too ... really clever imagery! Dave gives the perfect cameo, on guitar, but I thought that your writing and joyous singing stole the show. Well done!

Great porosity and use of the hook, Marty! Love the lift into the chorus which really sets it apart. Well done and congrats on the 44 years!

“Once you came into my life I could never ask for more.”
That very first line had us hooked!
This is such a sweet gift for your sweetheart and a treat for us forumites.
Excellent vocals and bass, as always.
Dave’s solo was super and the RT’s and RD were a perfect fit.
The video was very creative. Janice loved the dream catchers and the rainbow and heart filled sky. The smiling eyes reminded us of your granddaughter too.
Enjoyed them both and happy early birthday to Barb!

An excellent song. Thanks, Mario. It's a lot of fun baking these cakes, and they taste so much better when Dave does the decorating. Marty,

Ray, I really look forward to your comments --on mine and others. I'd say you "sing" the type of "music" she DOES like.

What a beautiful tribute!
The chorus soars. Wow.
"I never would have seen the sky in such a pleasing blue
I never would have known such love. I never would have you." Those are my favorite lines.
I bet she cried after hearing this.
Sonically, that last chord doesn't fit. Have you tried making a BIAB guitar chord an F6 using Meladyne?

Nicely done Marty. Not sure if I'm noticing the same thing but the outro seems abrupt and not quite resolved. Could be a preferrence thing? Nonetheless nicely done.
https://soundcloud.com/user-646279677BiaB 2024 Windows For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.

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."
