This is a good message presented in a most joyous sound. Your vocals are so good and also reminiscent of Beatles harmonies. The clarinet is a gem. Your guitar sounds excellent as expected.

These lines in particular stand out to us:

“You've seen the world but you can't see me
When you're around you're always leaving”

“It's got me looking out a window into the past
Chasing distant shadows and things that won't last”

What an unexpected treat!

Thanks for taking time to listen and comment! I appreciate it!

Torrey,
There`s such a positive, joyful feeling about this song ( another very good write with Ron).
The clear moral in the tale and bouncy pop mood are reminiscent of White Album era Beatles... even that nice addition of clarinet to your signature guitar sound has that magic too.
Superb production qualities round out a most enjoyable listen: very, very well done!

Hui Torrey,

I told you, you won't be silent till next year.
But you believed it yourself! What question lies beneat that?

Whatever, this is a very good song and it sounds so familiair too. But I couldn't grab where I heard it before.
I was thinking in the same direction as Robert wrote (Beatles), but don't know for sure.
Nevertheless, your vocals shine and the song is powerful, as I have come to expect from you ;-)

I liked it a lot,
Hans

Thanks Hans! I feel the verses have a familiar sound but I can't place it either! I was very certain I was done for the year, but the opportunity arose for Ron and I to do this one and I took it! T

Really nice change up Torrey. What a cool groove to the song. Super vocal and lyric. Clarinet was a really nice add. Clarinet was my very firet instrument I learned. Super mix and production. Guitar was awesome. Well done

Torrey,

This is the perfect Torrey sound.
The clarinet and ukulele are also rare.
Vocals and harmonies are great as always.
I feel a little Paul McCartney in this tune.

Best regards.

Got to this late, but glad I heard it!

There's so much to like here! Every couple of measures, there was be some sonic candy to discover.

Catchy tune, excellent arrangement, well sung. Sticks in my head when the song is done.

Love it! laugh

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Another classic sounding pop song with nice lyrics, the borrowed title is used elegantly.
The clarinet is a nice addition, reminds me of Sgt. Pepper (When I'm Sixty Four).
Beautiful melody with the guaranteed Torrey progression.
Wonderful vocals and harmonies.
Excellent mix, especially the drums sound lush. Enjoyed the lead guitar playing once again.

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

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.

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."
