This Showcase is a great place to hang out and hear good music, and actually a lot of fun to just read too. Wait a minute! Right after I come out with Penelope you come out with Emily!! Just kidding!  But I actually got some feedback (in another place) that said we weren't allowed to use a woman or girl's name in a song, it was too "restrictive." I said what about Michelle? The answer? You're not Paul McCartney!! Kathy's Song?? You're not Paul Simon!! Ok, that makes total sense. ANYWAY, this is gorgeous and it does remind me of John Denver. Nice. Let's start a song with a woman's name in it contest, shall we?? David S: I'll also confess I was unaware of that name rule . . . but we all know that we as songwriters must follow strict songwriting protocol and that ignorance is no excuse. I am therefore actively engaging in a re-write to erase "Emily" from the lyric in her entirety. I simply need to find a three-syllable alternative that rhymes with "Emily". I have come up with the following two: (1) "Oohhhhh . . . nameless she"; and (2) "Oohhhhh . . . Yay for me" Happy to entertain any addition suggestions folks may have. Deej "Oh, Nameless Me" is a great title.

Deej and John, this is absolutely a beautifully melodic love song.
Everything is absolutely perfect.
You best to date IMHO.
I want my last spoken words to be "I hid a million dollars under the........................"

Very touching song. Lovely lyrics, so full of beautiful emotional pictures, delicate and charming. The arrangement, the melody and the vocals do perfect justice for the story. I can nothing but admire your scale of talent from gentle ballads to strong rock songs.

What a lovely song, Deej. We also get a tender John Denver feel to this in the lyric and the melody.
Your vocal is excellent and that style works perfectly. We can see why you made no changes to the RT’s in it. The fingerpicked guitar was so good.
Janice listened first and followed me into another room to quote some of the lyric!
Great collab!

As Robert already said, a dreamy arrangement that fits the lyric.
It's fine as it is, but I would have loved to hear some piano playing on this.
Lovely.

Brad, Hans, Mark, Mario, Janne, J&B, David and Dani:
Thanks everyone. Appreciate the listens and input very, very much. Some reaction to some of the specific comments: Hans: It may very well be the same Emily, but we’ll have to check with John to be sure. But if it is the same Emily . . . well, she gets around, is all I’m saying. David C: Hmm, didn’t think about adding a piano . . . you may be right about that. David S and Marty: NOTE: As it so happens, the song received a radio play on BBC Cumbria on its “Introducing” segment, which features local artists—never seems to lead to much, but still nice to get a play.

Deej,
That folk rock sound is a great choice and right down your alley vocally! The acoustic guitar that you used really puts the beauty in this one! IT's a lovely tune! Thanks, TB

Hi Deej56,
Composition as I like them gently. The guitar whose rhythm is catchy with your lyrics. It's well done.

Beautiful melody and lyrics. The bare accompaniment works well, and I wouldn't change a thing. This is a great song! You have topped yourself again. Did I say I like the song?

Scott, Torrey, Derochette and Ezekiel:
Thanks for stopping in and giving this one a listen. Glad you liked it, and the feedback is much appreciated.
FYI: In addition to the radio play on BBC Cumbria noted above, today it received a play on the “Strummers & Dreamers” program on Cambridge 105 Radio. The show will be repeated on Blues and Roots Radio on Monday May 8th 7-9pm and Wednesday 10th 9-11am UK time, and the podcast will go up on Mixcloud (Strummers and Dreamers) on or around Thursday, May 11th.
My best to you all,
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."
