Ok so Herb Hartley had me cracking up big time with his comment about the rotten eggshells of the rancid songs that never made it out of the studio.

So I could not resist. This is my contribution to the songwriting forum for the month. Merry Christmas.

Floyd might be drinking his way through the holidays but I think that is kind of lightweight. I wanted to do it old school.

Strange
By David Snyder
intro

[John is Paul and Paul is John
and Paul is John and John is Paul]

V1

Walking on the rotting eggshells
Of the songs we’ve written yesterday
They’re never played
Lucy and the Walrus in the garden
Sip peyote lemonade
Strawberry Way

CH

And you’re so straaaaaaange
But I don’t mind
The weather’s fine
And you’re so straaaaaaange
But I don’t mind
It blows my mind

Bridge

In the English garden
Of your mind the fading
Tapestry unwinds
Your head inside a letter box
The universe spins wildly
Out of time
Hey, let's go

V2

Take my hand I’ll take you back
To another place another time
Called Penny Lane
You know the name
You know the name

CH

And it’s so straaaaaaange
But I don’t mind
The weather’s fine
And we’re so straaaaaaange
But I don’t mind
It blows my mind
And we’ll be fine
We’ll be fine

David.......



....You’re so straaaaaaange.




But I don’t mind. In fact... I rather like it...


Once again, amazingly inventive and original - while borrowing heavily, of course... The music is dense and really, really "listenable" - that in itself is an accomplishment.

Your Beatleishness seems mixed with a little Byrds and a little Buffalo Springfiled - you're covering an awful lot of classifications...

Excellent mix on this.


And, btw.... I need the bottle back...

Hey David Those were some very interesting lyrics> I think I could have related to them in 1969 :-). Well done

David, I'm very glad to have known you now just in case you start acting normal. Wow what a dreamscape of sounds. Definitely dipped in the Beatles, a trippy Lennonesqe write. A great listen. Tom

Whoa, Mommie! Glad I live near Boulder so I could run out and get something to help me listen to this with a bit of context if necessary. Twinkies. We're talking Twinkies here. It's gonna take me a while to get back to normal after that STRANGEEEE...experience.

Good one, David grin

1969?

Should I quote David Bowie:

"I don't remember the 70s."

Glad you liked it!

As one of the biggest Beatle fan's of all time, I found this WONDERFUL!! (or should I say Wonderwall-sorry, wrong Beatle). You've captured the vibe so well. And the drums are sooooooo Ringo! Loved it!! Take care. Greg

David,
Listened a few times... well the backwards? lyrics at the end could really mean something and you`ve created such a Great Big Sound! As much Echo & The Bunnymen as Beatles.
Sitar - really?

Robert
