I wanna say something about this song , I’ll try to keep it short.
Basically Band In A Box is the best program I’ve ever used
for songwriting. I tried out these instruments from the “Songwriter Styles”
I typed in 3 chords, put it on a loop and thought wow! that
sounds like McCartney to me, so I’m thinking Pop song.
I heard a phrasing and melody line almost immediately and sang
Now you and me da da . A few more loops and I had the first line.
The critic in my head hears the 18th century-minded hyper-corrective
grammer police scolding, but I ignore it, this sounds better! Wanted
a very simple drum track, went into loops, auditioned the first one that
had Rock in the description, it was perfect. Then I had BIAB look for best
guitar solo and again the first one was great, sounded like Billy Joel’s
“This Is The Time”. Put in more chords, the Chorus puts these two characters
in a moment together. In a couple of hours I had this in my DAW, first take
vocals, used Nectar 2 for harmonies, I could have posted it on the same day.
I don’t write this to brag about myself, this never happens to me, I usually write,
re-write, re-do the arrangement a number of times. This is the rough demo,
I liked it so much that I didn’t redo anything, even the 16 bar guitar solo.
I hope you like it, thanks for listening.

Now you and me are one
Stand together in the brightest sun
Weather any storm
Together we can do no wrong

Dancing slowly under the starlight
Tonight my love
Don’t you know that it’s alright
Dancing slowly under the starlight
Starlight

And the world is spinning on
In this moment we can do no wrong

Dancing slowly under the starlight
Tonight my love
Don’t you know that it’s alright
Dancing slowly under the starlight
