Cool tune. Yep... Good topic too. I liked it.
I found it a hard thing to write about my kids growing up and leaving home. Always a dramatic change.

Nice write and production - the song does a excellent job moving through an emotional arc, both lyrically and musically.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Hi Guitarhacker, I found it hard too, although this is more about how we dealt with it when the kids had left. It is written a bit romantic, or sweet (as Ray would say ). but it is the way it goes and should go. Getting used to this is a bit like 'conquering eternity' although it is so normal that we are not aware of it. that is the meaning of the last line. I like to think of these things in such a way.
Thanks for liking the song!

Hello David, thanks for your compliments. Don't be shocked if my next song deals with something completely different...

Have a nice and safe day,
Hans

Nice song that has gotten a lot of well-deserved accolades. I'm listening again, it really has a sweetness to it both lyrically and melodically. Great work!

The lone guitar at the start is very effective and fits the moods. Nice build with the instrumentation.

Pleasant melody. You added some variety to keep it aurally interesting!

Hi tuneMonger, about your first sentence, I had to look up in Google. I didn't know the meaning of 'accolades'. In Dutch we have the same word but then they mean the signs for and after this word in my line. It is a French word meaning 'a hug'.
Thanks for your nice comment! I received an email from a Dutch musician saying that I reached the first place in a SoundCloud ranking for sing a songwriters and also a high ending in another chard (top 50 of the week). My son, who is in Mexico now, confirmed it, so it must have been an international ranking. I expected my phone will be ringing constantly from producers and fans. Also the amount of listeners will get sky high and I become (more) famous now. I started searching for a new house with a greater studio. The day after I noticed nothing happened, but it was a nice moment of fame...

Hello Ezekiel, thanks very much for your post. It was that part I liked too. Just a guitar and me singing. But not for too long. I thought it would get boring after a while. But the main reason was that I wanted to mark that new morning, when you get over your mourning (...).

Stay safe overthere,
Hans

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

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."
