Hi All, Here's something new... The mix is a bit unpolished, but I think it sounds better that way. This is called Sweet Jane Tonight. Chelsea streets are lonely In the city of shattered dreams Old Queens still run the rails While the subway spits and screams Oh Sweet Jane Can’t recognize your face But I hear your voice tonight Coming through this place Oh Sweet Jane Like a shadow in a ditch Once a Gaslight dream Now a ghost over Greenwich Politicians make promises But their words twist like a maze Big money runs the world And leaves everyone in a haze Oh Sweet Jane Can’t recognize your face But I hear your voice tonight Coming through this place Oh Sweet Jane Like a shadow in a ditch Once a Gaslight dream Now a ghost over Greenwich The world is tumbling out of control And we need some rhymes to make us whole Oh Sweet Jane won’t you save us all From the darkness and the night that falls Oh Sweet Jane Can’t recognize your face But I hear your voice tonight Coming through this place Oh Sweet Jane Like a shadow in a ditch Once a Gaslight dream Now a ghost over Greenwich BIAB Tracks: 1417: Bass, Electric, RootsRock Ev 100 635: Guitar, Guitar, Electric, Rhythm RootsRockDirty Ev 100 638: Guitar, Guitar, Electric, Rhythm RootsRockTremolo Ev 100 362: Guitar, Acoustic, Strumming Ev 085 RealDrums in Style: RockRootsEv8^1-a:Snare, Open HiHat, b:Snare, Ride Chorus Loop: Chillout/Chillout_dimensions 145 As always - thanks for listening!

My band used to jam on a song called Sweet Jane by the Velvet Underground
I like this it's sort of a homage to that punk style

Hey Bob, nice vocal work.
I enjoyed this.
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.

I got a strong Dylan vibe on this one and that is a good thing!
You did a good job on the vocals and mix.
I liked this one very much.

As Mario says, the Dylan vibe is strong here. BRILLIANT song. Lyrics, writing, performance - the lot. Serious congratulations to you.

It was hard not to meet this song with expectations of a velour subway. Indeed, the 1st two chords tease towards it as does the tempo & groove.
It's a very cool sketch of urban & relationship decay.
Yes, the mix works well.
Cheers

Bob, I don't know why, but when I heard this I felt like I was rushing on my run. Fo some strange reason I felt just like Jesus' son. Cuz it made me feel just like a man. And I wanted to put a spike into my vein. And try for the kingdom if I can. And I felt like I was born a thousand years ago. On a great big clipper ship. And I sailed from this land here to that. With a sailor's suit and cap. Why do you think that was, Bob??????  This was such an awesome song man and it took me all the way back to the day, but then I got stuck in the day and I can't get out of the day how do I get out of the Greenwich village now. This guy is standing next to me in a ridiculous blond wig asking me to go to a party. Should I go???

(...okay, got it. It's not about Floyd  ...) Normally not my cup of tea, but for some reason I like this song. A lot! I think that its raw character works very well.

Hi Bob,
In some way this song sounds familiair, but I can't get my hand on what band played something similair to your chord.
It's a very nice melody and so are the lyrics. Of course, I have to say, because the majority of your lyrics and melodies are great.
And the way you sing it is very good. I thought the vocals sounded a bit unstable, but that was 'wrong thinking'; they made the emotions in this song sound so realistic.
Another good song, Bob!
Hans

Yes, Bob, I prefer unpolished. This is really an engaging sound. I'm with Elliott on his comment. Played the Velvet one, and this one seems like a fun one to play, too. Dug the lyrics.

Bob,
This is excellent. I love the so-called rawness of this . . . brings gravity to the tune. The write is among your best, which is saying something as all your writes are stellar. Like Elliott for me this has hint of punk . . .is there such a genre as acoustic punk? Really, a wonderful tune Bob . . . Outstanding!
My best to you,
Deej

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."
