Not everything in life goes the way you think it will.
Some things you see coming, some things come as a complete surprise.
Well, I simply underestimated the looming disaster in my relationship...

Have fun listening
Andi ;-)


Listen to YOU AND I


you and i

it was the first look into your blue eyes
that got me feeling this this is paradise

from then on began the best time in our lives
without suspecting what the fate should still decide

and then I said the last „I love you“

you and I
wanted to touch the sky
but what we could not see
that it was too high for you and me

everything seemed right and felt good
until our lives got stuck in a loop

and i saw the danger much too late
but you were already far far away

and then I said the last „I love you“

you and I
wanted to touch the sky
but what we could not see
that it was too high for you and me

solo

today we are best friends
everyone has his chance
it was a great time
and makes our memories shine

Andi,

A timely post as I was wondering just the other day where you may have wandered off too. The song is a good rocker. Love the opening which sets the stage for the song that follows. Your vocal sits nicely on this one . . . Wolfgang does some terrific guitar work. Strikes me as something Poison or Ratt might have done in the 80’s. Good stuff!

Hope all is well in your world—

This is a really cool intro...love it!
Nothing to complain about, good song, good arrangement and good mix.

An interesting idea would be to do this as a duet with a female singer, where everyone sings about their point of view. Like the duets in the style of Meat Loaf...

Andi,

Clever opening.

The acoustic followed by the BIG ROCK sound really gets your attention.

Excellent chugging guitars. Drums sound great. Bass, too.
Good vocals. Packed with emotion. Sitting well in the mix.
Terrific BAND.
Cool guitar solo...
A solid mix.

This really ROCKS!

Enjoyed the listen.

Hi Andi ...

Superb rock song reflecting the 1980s sound. Cool opening!

The bass and drums poushed this along witgh a hard-driving beat. Perfect for the genre.

Hi Andy,

Aaaaah, that's why we 've missed you for some time.
Well the intro makes it clear it immediately.

Great rock song nevertheless.
So you see, there's always something good coming from something bad smile
If you sing songs like this a lot, you'll get over it soon.

So nice to hear a really good rocker here, wish there were more of them. I read your lyrics first and was expecting something contemplative, but was not disappointed in the least when I heard it was a rocker. Everything is perfect on this, no problems that I heard but maybe it was one verse too long. Maybe not, I'm still thinking. Great work either way!

Super intro.

Boston type acoustic to heavier sounds after the vocal arguing intro.

A super rocker with some great lyrics.

Outstanding drums, lead guitar, and vocals

Great rocking song, I was also expecting more ballad type of a song after reading the lyrics, but I was pleasantly surprised to hear something that wasn't musically dwelling in the past but marching strongly forward after the short gentle intro. Very good sound and good hard rock vocals, personal emotions are clearly present.

only one word mate SUPERB.

great intro idea.

this definitely should be on commercial rock radio.

some really nice "song hooks".

maybe add some rock screaming at end ?? 'we wanted to touch the sky'. cute ending.

nice double leads. i can tell this was lots of work.

seriously kudos to you.

(ps yep that rock hard LA is a good one.)

happiness

Hi Andi,

I understood you were away for some time too.
Well, your song was a very pleasant surprise to me, except for the subject.
Very nice rocker, a strong build up in a clever composition.
I enjoyed it a lot!

Your vocals support this kind of rock songs very well.

Funny thing was the arguing in the intro. I'm lucky I haven't have this for a long, long time ;-)
The moment the needle hit the record I had to think of Stefan Nachtheim (he was also on the forum, but not anymore for some time). He used the same fragment in a nice song of his.

Have a nice day,
Hans

Good rock song, your vocal works well and a tip of the hat to Wolfgang for the guitar work, I dig the double leads.

HI, Andi. We spoke of this song a lot, but I never mentioned how much I like the melody. I like the way it rises and falls, especially in the verses. The chorus is your signature sing-along part, that always grabs the listener and brings them into the fun. It seems a sad song, but it's conceding the consequences, as if the singer is admitting the end and seeing it as a new launching pad for future attempts at reaching the sky. And your emotion in the vocal brings that out so well. It's one of those blameless endings in a relationship that realizes there wasn't enough fuel to gain altitude. Such a good song, Andi, and the mix you were worried about is perfect.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Andi,

It's a very nice rock song.
The guitar amp noise trick in the intro and ending is a very nice idea.
The repetition of the three note riff (A G# E and F# E A) of the electric guitar is great.
Vocals remind me a little of Mick Jagger.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

An emotional write matched by the intensity of your vocals and the guitar work is stellar. Excellent band and production, leaving nothing to find amiss with a great rocker.

Cool intro Andi. Excellent production. So much energy in the song. Awesome vocal. I think I got a Cars vibe on the song. Both the bass and the drums really set the groove to the song. Really well done....

Hi Deej
Thanks for your great feedback
I really appreciate it
BiaB and Hard Rock are such a thing ;-)
Sometimes a song is created that you wouldn't have expected.
With a real band the song would have been a lot different.
But I find that so exciting about BiaB.
See you soon Deej

Hi Andi.

Super "WOW!"

I really love this.

The pre-music beginning is immensely creative and it sets the scene so well for what is to come. You had my feet tapping up and down as I listened. And as with all really great songs, the chorus was inspired lyric writing at its very best.

This is definitely a composition and production to hugely proud of.

All the best,
Noel

Wow... So much praise from an expert.
Thank you very much.
I am of course very pleased that you liked the song, although Hard Rock is probably not your favorite music ;-)
Wolfgang will certainly be very happy about your feedback.
Although he had to suffer quite a bit when I demanded a double-voiced guitar solo from him ;-))))

Great intro Andi, and a heckuva rock production!

Your vocals are passionate and Wolfgang’s guitars are scalding hot!

You also assembled quite a good mix of RT’s/RD that really keep this rocker moving along.

Good lyric too and it was joyous to see that in the end a friendship endured!

Hi Bob
Thanks for your great feedback
Hard Rock with BiaB is a special case
You almost always need "real" musicians to make it really good.
But I always try to use as much BiaB as I can.
But a lot of things I can't do satisfactorily with BiaB.
Thanks again

Hello om
thanks for your really great feedback
Actually the song was planned from the beginning to fade out the ending
When I listened to it completely, I realized that the ending, which I didn't put any work into at all, was kind of interesting and left it that way for the soundcloud version.
But your idea of singing or screaming something at the end is right.
It's faded out in the retail version though.
Thanks a lot om

Hi Andi, I can't believe I'm just now getting a chance to listen to this. Soooo excellent, I agree with Ray's comment "Fantabulous"! I know there have already been a number of responses, but I just had to add my two cents. This song has got everything. Clever intro/outro, great melody, fantastic writing, both powerful and soft. I loved how the bass kept things pounding throughout, the lead guitar was so tastefully done, and the perfect choice for drums and rhythm guitars. Great vocal performance and the mix was pure perfection. Great sound!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

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."
