I mean, we got plenty of Christmas songs, obviously, but also songs about summer, winter, spring, birthdays and whatnot, but nothing I can think of that specifically pertains to Easter  Just something I came to ponder for the occasion...

Commercialization is a lot more at Christmas?
I just directed music at an Easter service, and most Christians at least would be able to hum the melody of several songs. These are hymns, but then most of the popular Christmas carols are also hymns; they just got picked up more by popular music.

Who doesn't write resurrection day songs? Here's something I wrote quite a while back. Jesus is Risen

Easter has never really caught on like Christmas as far as commercialism. The candy industry tries. It may be that it is still too "religious". I don't mean that in a bad or insulting way. It should be religious. But it is very Christian obviously while Christmas has grown to be celebrated by a lot of people that are not Christian. Just my 2 cents. I think it boils down to being able to talk about Easter without talking about Christ is harder than talking about Christmas as a secular holiday which, for many, it has become.
My wife asked if I had seen the dog bowl. I told her I didn't even know he could.

"Easter songs" - How come that's not a thing?
Maybe because Easter is such a minor holiday that it doesn't merit songs. A fictional character rises from the dead and ascends into heaven after saying goodbye to a few of his friends.
It doesn't inspire people to write songs about it. LOL!

LOL all you want! I normally let stuff like that slide, but not this time! The resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ is THE MAIN inspiration for my writing (and several others here I believe) whether you appreciate it or not! Easter is not a minor holiday to millions upon millions of people! If my opinion on this gets me kicked out of this forum, that's fine with me! The resurrection of Jesus Christ is the capstone in the arch of Christianity...without it everything falls apart! The secular historian Josephus from that era even documented that fact He was risen!

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."
