This beautiful song is melancholy and yet comforting too.

Like James Taylor, your voice is smooth and sounds effortless.
And your layered harmonies always remind us of the Beatles.

Great performances by you and the session guys.

The mix sounds good on the KRK’s with a nice live band feel.

Enjoyed it!

If you don't mind a suggestion, I would cut the unnecessary lyrics to give more room for the music.
For instance, "Tonight I'm back here in this old town It's the place I left behind years ago", could be
"Tonight I'm back here in this old town. The place I left behind years ago".
There are other lines that would give you breathing space with small cuts too.

Thanks Vic, I had actually been mulling over if I should pull a word or 2 here and there and your comment was confirmation that I should! I have since re-uploaded a new version with some word reductions. Good ear! Thanks, TB

Nostalgic and bit sad in the end, yet enjoyably emotional. I can hear The Eagles there, the folky band sounds excellent, very smooth and takes me back in time, although I'm yet to return to my old town for a longer visit.

Very pleasant vocals and harmonies, "like a leaf blown with the wind", that's the exact feel I heard in your voice.

Good work Torey.
We particularly like the smooth blending of the harmony vocals in the chorus.
The song also has a gentle "New Kid in Town" feel. That's a good thing because "New Kid in Town" is one of our all-time favourites.

So it's really easy to like your song laugh

Thanks so much for your kind words! I definitely had the song you mentioned in the back of my mind When arranging this one! I was going for that soft laid back sound they had! TB

Torrey,

It reminds me of American pop music from the 1970s.
It definitely feels like James Taylor.
This type of song is also great, although it's a little different from your usual style.
The vocals and harmony are very nice.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

My 1st thought was that the bass is a little overpowering at the intro...I can't be sure as I'm listening on a new set up. The song is wonderful.

Thanks Ray! I agree about the bass volume! That issue had been nagging at me for a while and your comments inspired me to go back in and reduce it! It has now been updated on Soundcloud with a new mix! TB

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."
