Captain,
Very good tune and fine reflection of "out times".
Pizzicato worked nicely with sparse solo and ooohs. Cool variation in singed <-> spoken word vocals. Liked it! Thank you for sharing.

Misha.

We recently lost a very long time friend to Covid-19 who was fit and took precautions. His widow
posted this: "I lost a loved one ... I wear this mask to protect yours." Says it all.

Needless to say we enjoyed your song. Good vocal and nice use of the BGV's.

The arrangement and track selection support the lyric and message very well.

Well done,

J&B

PS It would be nice to know the BiaB tracks used, etc. You on guitar?

Thanks Misha,
Tried to add a a little interest with the sharp staccato chords and backing vocals.

Thanks for the comments,
So sad that we have to debate whether taking simple steps to save lives is good or bad.

For those who believe wearing a face covering is an infringement on their freedom, I wonder if their OK with a food handler not washing their hands after taking a crap.
We should put signs in restaurant washrooms " Employees Not Required To Wash Hands"
After all, washing your hands is such a terrible burden and infringement on liberty, we wouldn't want to expect anyone to do that, would we?

Sorry to hear of your friend's loss, if we keep resisting medical advise we'll all be in her shoes soon.[i][/i]

About the instruments:
Guess I've been delinquent on posting that info, I'll do better on the next one.
I'm still rather new to BIAB, I usually use the drums and bass for my songs then fill the rest in with my own guitar etc.
I really have no idea what I'm doing, just hunt and peck till I get something that works.
On this one I used quiet a few BIAB instruments.

Drums- Real Drums, Nashville Even 16

Bass- #1603

Guitar - #1606

What some people think is a guitar is really a cello # 3261

Vocals # 6073

Nice gentle sound, good arrangement. To my ears, a bit too much reverb on everything, but not a big deal.

Like J&B said, the background vocals worked nicely.

I enjoyed listening. smile

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

Hi Captain,

A very nice melody and strong lyrics!
This certainly will stay an issue for some time. You put your finger on the sore spot when it comes to acceptance of these measures.
But above this all, I do like your vocals in the song!

Thanks for the comment,
Yep, it is kinda juicy.
Like I said, I was shooting for a U2 kinda sound.
I guess I forgot, I'm not them ha ha ha.

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."

Our Customer Service hours this weekend are:
