BRIEF With our upcoming Christmas gig in a couple months we were looking for a suitable melody and arrangement. The performance will take place in an elderly home. We are both very big fans of Lawrence Oliver's Love Again. A gentle romantic song with a mood that is similar to what we were looking for. Lawrence (Gruverider) gave us very kind permission to use his song in any way we'd see fit. And we did ;-) Since we will be playing in front of a Dutch audience we wrote some Dutch lyrics for this. Next, we trimmed the song to about 3 minutes (original length 3.45) and changed the structure slightly. Finally we added several harmony vocals. Hope y'all like it and another big thanks to Lawrence! For those looking for his original version, here it is. Rob & Anne-Marie ps, we don't have the working file, maybe Lawrence will post the RT's Lyrics Brief / Letter
Je schrijft, je schrijft me waar je nu bent, You’re writing me where you are now Zo weinig mensen die je nog kent, There’s few people you still know Dit is niet wat je voor je zag, This is not what you anticipated of wat je had gewenst, or what you wished for Buiten schreeuwt de storm, Outside the wind is howling maar van binnen is het stil, but on the inside things are silent De tijd die verstreek is vervreemdend soms, The time that went by, seems surreal at times 't Is iets dat niet meer went, Something you’ll never get used to In deze tijd van 't jaar, This time of year zijn and're mensen bij elkaar, other people are together maar voor jou lijkt dat een eeuwigheid weg, to you that seems like a different world zo anders dan vandaag, so different from today
Geen kinderen in de straat, No children in the streets geen speelgeluiden meer, No more sounds of playing Ach je weet het wel, maar 't is zo snel gegaan, Although you know, still it went so fast die wereld van weleer, that world you used to know
Hij, hij was er altijd bij, He, he was always there en de dingen die die zei, and the things he said Ik laat je nooit meer gaan, I’ll never let you go ik kan de wereld aan, I’m on top of the world als je er voor me bent, as long as you’re there
En alle vrienden om jullie heen, And the friends that surrounded you soms wel druk maar nooit alleen, crowded at times but never alone En wat je'm nog graag zeggen wou, And what you still wanted him to know M'n lief waar moet ik heen, My love where am I to go Hier alleen, All alone
Ik schrijf, ik schrijf je 'n brief vandaag, I’m writing you a letter today als antwoord op je vraag, to answer your question Omdat ik weet dat jij er bent, Because I know you’re there Zo weinig mensen die ik ken, There’s few people I still know

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."
