A song about Band in a Box!! and that moment when you think you begin to understand it!! YAY Well you know what to do "your way" anyway, in midi and the realstuff.
This is a tribute to the versatility of the programme and also a homage to all the talented posters in this forum.
Thank you PG Music for an astounding program.

I apologise for one naughty word in verse one but it described the learning process perfectly to me and I'm still learning after almost 20 years. grin It was written in one of those "late night early morning sessions"

Crazy things I do

I said hey do you know that its half past three and shouldn't we be gettin' off to sleep its gettin' up light
I know I like being here just talkin' to you
its just one of those many cr--azy things i do
why do we always get outa our heads we're chasing those demons not chicks into bed
I know I can't sit here with my head in my hand
I'll put it up my [*****] and you'll all understand

it seems in the making its set in the die
cos who said rock and roll was going to die
you always tell something you know if its real
i know that its right
We all now that it's right

Rock and Roll's living in your heart tonight
its taken control of your body and soul
its never gonna relinquish that grip on your heart
it started that day when you heard that first song

cos its then that you started to breathe
its then that you started to live that life
i know i like being here just playing with you
do one of those many cr--azy things you do

why do we always jump up and down we're not in a rehearsal cos this times for real
we know wot we like in a weird sorta way
but we don't give a damn and who cares any way

Rock and Roll's living in your heart tonight
its taken control of your body and soul
its never gonna relinguish that grip on your heart
it started that day it started today
Rock and Roll's living in your heart tonight
its taken control of your body and soul
its never gonna relinguish that grip on your heart
it started that day it started today

hey do you know that its half past three and shouldnt we be gettin off to sleep its gettin up light
we know we like being here just being we two
my turn to do one of those cr--azy things I do

Rock and Roll's living in your heart tonight
its taken control of your body and soul
its never gonna relinguish that grip on your heart
it started today

Hi Alyn, BIAB is certainly the best of the best and I find at times that it is very hard to walk away from when you have something in your head that you want to get out. Thanks for giving a tribute to what we all know is the best software of its kind. I enjoyed your song and I hope that you will get some rest!!

Alan, Your songs always draw me in. I'm always looking around the next corner to see what surprises you've cooked up. It's always an adventure to take a trip inside Gibsonland! Although you have developed your own style , it is always filled with new and refreshing ideas. I liked it. Tom

BIAB is good fun if not addicitve!
I had fun with the harmonies as I'd worked them out on a piano 1st and then tried to sing the notes

So glad you enjoyed

"its never gonna relinguish that grip on your heart"

Ain't that the truth!

Had to listen several times - just for the pure pleasure of it... it's like listen to a Talking Heads piece.

Enjoyed it. Thoroughly.

(Good mix! Cool rockin' at the end!)

Very inventive song.
I agree about band in a box, a program that surely has allowed many of us to express creativity in a different way.

I like your sound. Great final too.

Alyn,

I like your style very much. I may call it 'gibson style'?

I enjoyed the song. It recalled me White Album of the Beatles though I do not know why.

There's absolutely no-one I know who writes so well with such freedom that you do! I always learn when I listen to your creations.

Loved it!

Nice inventive, fun song!
Ah yes, this is so recognizable. Another song idea late at night, and you simply have to finish it, especially with all the possibilities in BIAB.
I didn't detect any naughty words ;-)

Thanks Rob,
The song started as a sorta rock anthem but the words fitted seemed to explain/ give a reason for my addiction to BIAB grin
