Well I'm breaking a rule with this one but I searched for a BiaB track to fit it and couldn't...it's a bit unique for me...it's in 12/8 time (wish there were more real tracks)...it's only 2:35 long (half of a song for me)....it has no modulations or multiple key changes (what the what?)...but I thought it had a pretty melody and it's piano based (that will be obvious)...and it's new (thankful to be writing again)...so...if you do thanks for giving it a listen...Dan All of Creationhttps://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=14835313Vocals: Natalie and Hayden (Synthesizer V) I added the Yamaha CFX Concert Grand Piano from the Genos Workstation Keyboard

Dan, sometimes all one needs is a little inspiration, an instrument, and a little perspiration to create the perfect song. You accomplished that with this song.
Great synth vocals
Extra nice piano
Super mix
Loved the lyrics
PS- I'm glad you are writing again!

Dan, super song, and nicely arranged and performed. Writing a short song can be tricky (for me) but I think you've nailed the musical/lyrical arc to tell this story in a succinct yet satisfying way. Great mix, too. Fantastic job!

Really gorgeous. Nice work. Those harmonies are especially well done.
The way I look at the "rule" that you need to use BB tracks is... yeah.... if you are a regular contributor to this forum with rule compliant songs.... the occasional outlier is perfectly fine.... It's the folks who don't use BB and come here to promote their new non-PG related song that I take exception with.
You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

You have a knack for composing melodies that are pleasing. Production sounds professional. The synth voice and harmonies soar. Excellent contemporary hymn.

What a talent you have for melodies, Dan.
Yes, BIAB is lacking in some genres. Maybe they will get better in the modern folk styles at some stage.
Lovely song.

This is a lovely song and the lone piano accompaniment is truly all that is needed.
What a perfect example of an instance where less is more.
Natalie and Hayden certainly earned their studio fees on this one.
Lovely!

Hi, Dan. I've read and re-read the rules, and there's nothing that says that BiaB users must use it in their posted songs - only that they say which tracks they used when they do use them. To re-use J&B's adjective: Lovely song.

Soaringly sweet sounds. Love the piano accompaniment. You may not have had time for modulations in this one, but you still managed to work out some outstanding harmony. So fulfilling, Dan.

Hi Dan,
What a gorgeous song! The production is stellar. Those voices sound almost real - you've mastered that skill.
As a single instrument, the piano is so versatile and full. Simply stunning. You're new writing is excellent. I always look forward to your posts.
Wishing you everything good,
Alan

Dan.
I'm a sucker for 12/8, 6/8 and 3/4 music in general. This is a double winner for me as I also enjoy solo piano ballads so let me say that I love this and after hearing more of your music I note the strong melodic quality of your compositions.
Excellent and I would gladly hang around for the 5+ minute version.
