I don't want to say too much about this one. I just hope you enjoy it. I’m Alive By David Snyder https://soundcloud.com/davidsnyderchannel/im-aliveV1 Well, I’ve been dragged across the rocks Up the hill to the shadow of the cross And I have been tortured lately By the thunder in my thoughts And I’ve been shot right through the heart By all this sorrow this world as brought Suffering fools and wondering Just what the hell I've been taught Pre Chorus And I know the words I’ll have Come Judgment Day If we get a chance to meet this is what I’ll say CH Here I am, and I’m alive In spite of everything you threw at me I survived Never lost the fact that I am me I own my soul and it is free And God knows how hard I've tried And I’m alive God knows I’m alive V2 I know that I’ve got nothing Like the patience of Job But I do know what I’ve paid And I do know what I’ve owed And I’m not swinging incense down the aisles In any fancy robes But I do know what I’ve reaped And I do know what I’ve sowed Pre Chorus And I know the words I’ll have Come Judgment Day If we ever get a chance to meet this is what I’ll say CH Here I am, and I’m alive In spite of everything you threw at me I survived Never lost the fact that I am me I own my soul and it is free And God knows, how hard I've tried And I’m alive God knows I’m alive Words and Music copyright 2017 by David Snyder David Snyder, Vocals, Guitar, Orchestration, Strings, Additional Instrumentation, Arrangement and Production 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 song: 2045:Piano, Acoustic, Solo-Accompaniment CountryPopJohn 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 *******************

Hii David,
These songs are always hard for us to review/critique because one's faith is very personal. That said, here are our thoughts, FWIW.
The essence of this song is embodied in the lyric more so than the musical composition. Although well-done, the music is simply a conduit for the message.
The subject of the lyric (you?) has a strong perception of the worth he has patched together in his mortal life and how it reflects on him as a child of God. he has tackled every burden placed on his shoulders and did so without pom and parade. He simply did so as his duty and responsibility.
We like that the musical bed didn't detract from the message. Rather, it was the perfect launching pad for your spirited vocal. We also liked it was not "preachy". To the contrary, it was a well-defined message as simple, yet as important, as the musical vehicle.
We liked it a lot. You are one of the most creative people on the site and we're always anxious to heart what you have for us. Just went back for a 2nd listen as I (Alan) was typing. Keep up the good work! Wishing you the best,
Alan & Di
PS: I think what I said was constructed rather clumsily, but I hope I got our point across. We loved the song!

David,
Oh yeah! This has the passion that Dylan started out with...and a nice switch to a folk rock sound in the middle.
A fine personal anthem.

Powerful song. Love the arrangement. Like Alan said, it doesn't take away from the lyrics. It does sound like something Dylan would have done. That's a pretty high compliment.

This is so very powerful. Killer write.
One of your best is so many ways - the vocal is so "all-out"!
The arrangement/production is note-worthy. Starts out "early Dylan" (and very well done) and ends up "early Springsteen" (very well done). But, still is "dripping current David Snyder"...
A great listen.
A big WOW, dude.

Lovely song David. Very emotional lyric supported by an excellent vocal. A strong message, a strong vocal and a well played acoustic guitar. Doesn't get much better than that...

fj I can rarely say it as good as Floyd. Awesome!!! Never lost the fact that I am me I own my soul and it is free And God knows how hard I've tried And I’m alive God knows I’m alive Love that lyric- a declaration that is unapologetic but not arrogant. Outstanding!!! You're killin' it man!! Take care. Greg

Wow! This is so good on so many levels. Love the way you build the intensity as the song goes on. Towards the end it has a "Like a Rolling Stone" kind of vibe.
Vocal is off the hook great! So emotive and full of character.
This is my new favorite from you.

Very emotional and gutsy vocal delivery
I love that
The subject of the lyric (you?) has a strong perception of the worth he has patched together in his mortal life and how it reflects on him as a child of God. he has tackled every burden placed on his shoulders and did so without pom and parade. He simply did so as his duty and responsibility. (this is what Alan wrote)
Alan states this so well (pomp instead of pom?) if so, how clever that he said parade
instead of circumstance.
Anyway, I enjoyed the hell out of it
Kenny

Hey Alan and Di,
Thank you so much. I do know exactly what you are saying. I also think this is a song people will interpret in their own way or make personal--I think.
Anyway, thanks so much and I am glad you enjoyed it.
