My goal for 2017 is to break on through to the other side--and be as strange as I can possibly be. Here is the 1st song of 2017. https://soundcloud.com/davidsnyderchannel/original-sinHappy New Year!  Original Sin By David Snyder V1 Woke up in the garden staring up at the blue I had the strangest memories of things I never knew CH Now I long for yesterday when I didn't know a thing didn't know a thing I only had a heart back then and all I did was sing, all I did was sing now they took away my heart and replaced it with a sense of time a sense of time I wish that I could give it back then I would be fine I would be fine V2 Someone had it in for me best not know the truth things were just beginning for me what was I to do CH Now I long for yesterday when I didn't know a thing didn't know a thing, not a thing I only had a heart back then all I did was sing, all I did was sing now they took away my heart and replaced it with a knowing mind a knowing mind I wish that I could give it back then I would be fine I would be fine V3 So say a prayer for me though there's nothing to defend I only know that I get blamed In places I’ve never been And no one bothers telling me How this game will end And no one's making sense to me When they talk about original sin CH. And ooo--oooh, how will it end And no’s making sense to me When they talk about original sin (Repeat and Rideout) All music and lyrics copyright 2016 by David Snyder ****** Song Summary ************* Title: Original Sin Key=C Style is _BOWIE_STY (User Defined) RealTracks in style: 2590:Bass, Electric, RockPickedQuarters Ev 165 RealTracks in style: ~703:Guitar, Acoustic, Strumming Spirited Ev 085 RealTracks in style: ~1118:Guitar, 12-String Acoustic, Strumming Ev 085 RealTracks in style: 643:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm HardRockThrashHollow Ev 085 (A:8ths) RealDrums in style: PopPromiseEv16^5-a: Snare, HiHat , b: Snare, Ride David Snyder, Vocals, 12 String, Electric Guitars, Keyboards, Synths, Orchestration, Strings, Drum Programming Produced and Engineered by David Snyder

David,
Ok, here's what I'm hearing. It sounds like Jim Steinman, Peter Gabriel & Pink Floyd met in a bar late after midnight and said let's make a record, and this is the result...
Loved it! You keep pushing the boundaries.
Bob

Was there really anything to break through? Me thinks Bob nailed the description! "I had the strangest memories of things I never knew." I had to start the song over after hearing that. Just keep thinking about it. Fascinating write and production. Hello 2017. J&B

That was a mushroom garden, right?
Boundaries? We don't need no steenkin' boundaries...
What an excellent rock opera type write!
Unique. Original and sinful.
You are a BIAB god.
Love the vocal. More reverb! More delay!
Dude!

Strange (in a good way) but engaging - nice big sound and interesting progression.
Good work - nicely melodic.

Hey Floyd man! Thanks a billion, I have a big grin on my face right now. But WAIT!!! I thought YOU were the BIAB god. Are we living in some kind of ethereal other-worldly six dimensional parallax mushroom universe of multiple BIAB deities???? Wait, wait...Eb..Eb6...Abm7...borrowed chord...stolen chord.......sudden key change.... Gotta run man. Happy New Year and stuff. See ya on the other side Caiao!

David,
Long after the "others" finally arrive and cannot make sense of our species they`re going to drop by David Snyder`s place and listening to your songs, say... oh, now we get it!
That`s a long winded way of saying this is very cool psychedelic wonder stuff.
Very enjoyable!
Robert

David, " I had the strangest memories of things I never knew". What a line! Loved the chord progression and the huge sound. Good job with the synths and the strings. I enjoyed it. Tom

Great sound!
Feels like I discovered a lost Bowie track that is so good. Love the melody and chord
changes.

Well that definitely is a goal we support!
Didn't even know there was a Bowie style;-)
Really like this one, nice and dramatic.
