Hi, Vic. Bouncy arrangement helps make the "preachiness" easier to take. Nice song, enjoyed the listen!

Very Cool Vic! Smokin' I should say. And it has me inspired!! BECAUSE, after listening to some of the liberal protest songs on the forum lately, I turned on the news today for the first time in six months for about 30 secs. Naw, I said. Then I decided to go all preachy myself! Why not, if Vic is gonna get all preachy, let's put this thing in reverse and back her up! So then I said, per the profound wisdom of this song: Roll em up. Roll 'em up again. Roll 'em up. Roll 'em up again. Roll 'em up again. There's an old man. Crappin' in his pants. But be safe now y'all. Write a Liberal Protest Song. Suck it right on up. Make sure to go along! Roll 'em up. All day long!! Sing after me everyone! (Repeat as many times as is necessary to get it.) Thanks for the inspiration Vic! Preach on brother!!

Vic,
Catchy tune. Simple and effective arrangement, good word play. Mix is clear, but vocals could go slightly to the top.
Thank you for sharing.
Misha.

Your right on point with your message. Not too preachy at all. Backing tracks sound great--a perfect match for the lyrics and melody.

Thanks David. You never said a truer word. Time to roll one up. Oh I forgot, I gave up about 16 years ago. Oh well, time for a nice cup of tea then. Vic

Thanks for commenting, Elliott. I'm afraid I am genre blind. I stick one on it because the site asks for one. Sometimes I get it right.  Vic

That’s a good lyric and performance, Vic, and the band is cooking.
Really good groove and a nice open mix.
Preach on, brother!

I like your song, Vic. It feels like there's not much going on, but the groove pulls you in and doesn't let go. I love the lyrics and the way you deliver them. Good stuff ![[Linked Image - Only viewable when logged in]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/images/icons/default/thumbs_up.gif)

Hi BD.
My idea was to dwell on the rolling rhythm much like those old blues singers.
At first I debated leaving the lead guitar out of it. Still thinking about it.
Thanks for your appraisal.
Vic

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."
