Robert reworked my song Emerald. This another arrangement of the song was also done with Janice and Ray. Was so glad to add this to the catalog of Spirit Level songs. Billionaires in space- an emotional response written mostly around the time the first one blasted off... probably the same day I placed another Amazon order! Hope you like it. Last Resort Lyrics: The Last Resort welcome aboard the VS Vanity in Emerald Class all seats recline we are honoured to fly you to the edge of wonder who will come back from the sublime weightless at the gates of space the location of Paradise has moved last lights of Kiribati scars on her body this world leaves you weeping confused helpless on the wheel in rapture of orbit do you feel meteor of man in fire will you understand at the last resort the last resort our special guest we have prepared as we approach the Karman Line a montage to airbrush your neglect, sir momentarily we`ll be offline simple gestures seal our fate a bird flies from the flood with a leaf indifferent gods we depend as you descend see the millions waiting for relief helpless on the wheel in rapture of orbit do you feel meteor of man in fire will you understand at the last resort the last resort © Robert Cordrey June 2022 The Band: ****** Song Summary ************* Title: Last Resort - G File:lastresort-G.SGU Key=G , Tempo 85, Length (m:s)=4:28 No intro. 91 bar chorus, from bar 1 to bar 91.

Nice work, soothing to listen to. Touches of early Lou Reed fused with Neil Young. I liked the sitar too. Flew me to the edge of wonder...

Yes! I always like this song --from the idea to the execution and production. Robert, this is a very cool redo. Yeah, the sitar is an interesting addition, but Scott, your guitar is so perfect. Robert, you are a lyrics master. "the location of Paradise has moved" The way things are going billionaires in space will be in the cheap seats.

Hi Scott and Robbert
I loved that count-down intro/outro in the song.
Beside that I think the sitar was a great choice for this 'airy' song.
and Scott, your playing is wonderful as always
Robbert, your singing was very suitable for this spatial setting, the lyrics are brilliant, but I had to use Google translate quite a bit (of course).
I enjoyed the song very much!

Interesting rework, the lyrics suit the sublime mood. Clever images like "in rapture of orbit" and "VS Vanity". Robert's vocal is always pleasure to hear. Nice warm drumming and spacy lead guitar describe the journey very well. I know it would be a bit cliche, but some synthesizer space sounds wouldn't hurt  Janne

Great lyrics, loved the internal rhyme. Reminded me of Space Oddity, but so much better. I'd quote a line but I'd end up quoting the whole thing. Guitar fit well. Great job, gents!

Clever intro and outro. Good and interesting write, although I have to confess I wasn't familiar with Kiribati. Clever play on words with the title as well. And, of course, excellent vocal and guitar work!

Many thanks to listeners and your comments.
Writing and singing lyrics to the melody lines of Scott`s fine instrumental was very enjoyable.
The sitar inclusion came from thinking that , along with Viridian, we might have 2 parts of a space trilogy...to be continued.

I agree with comments above, a little synth-space sounds would be icing on this cake, David Bowie style?
Very well done guys, a most enjoyable adventure and highly creative.
This got me thinking that next on the list for us to destroy/consume (after Earth) is the moon, then Mars.
Will we ever learn?
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."
