OP David Snyder Veteran Joined: Aug 2014 Posts: 8,323 North Carolina	My lovely wife Gayle joined me for backing vocals (soprano and alto) for the Americana Xyra Styles 3 contest submission, done with the Seclude Style. This song is dedicated to all my friends and besties on the Forum and elsewhere who have been going through some bumpy times lately. Hang in there peeps. Keep the faith. Keep on Rising Performed By David and Gayle Snyder https://soundcloud.com/davidsnyderchannel/keep-on-rising V1 The preacher said it and I know it’s true I got a mansion up in the blue While I’m here, I’ll be like you, mama Every day I’ll do what I have to do CH Gonna keep on rising, up into the sky Gonna keep on rising, ‘til the day we die Don’t ask me how, don’t ask me why Gonna keep on rising to the sweet bye and bye Sweet bye and bye V2 This world is broken, but we’re still alive And the Lord has promised we will survive A man of faith, he doesn’t need any alibis He’ll look his maker in the eye, his maker knows how hard he tries CH: Bridge: And you can’t break me down Cause I can hear in my heart that trumpet sound And you can’t break me down Cause I’m praying now, on Holy Ground CH: Gonna keep on rising, up into the sky Gonna keep on rising, ‘til the day we die Don’t ask me how, don’t ask me why Gonna keep on rising to the sweet bye and bye Sweet bye and bye All music and lyrics copyright 2017 by David Snyder/ASCAP/Day of Faith Records Lead Vocals, David Snyder, Alto and Soprano Vocals, Gayle Snyder Song: Keep on Rising 2:58 Style is _SECLUDE.STY (Seclude Dramatic Newgrass) RealTracks in style: 2421:Bass, Acoustic, RockabillySlapBoomChicka Ev16 100 RealTracks in style: 2458:Strings, Rhythm CelticWaltz Ev 100 RealTracks in style: 623:Banjo, Background Backporch Ev 098 RealTracks in style: 1765:Guitar, High-Strung Acoustic, Fingerpicking Pop16ths Ev16 085 RealDrums in style: PopAmericanEv^1-a:SS 1/2 BB, b:Snare Half BB ******************* David Snyder Songwriter/Renaissance Man Studio + Fingers https://davidsnydersongs.com/ https://spoti.fi/359Gigs www.davidsnydermusic.com/ www.reverbnation.com/davidpsnyder www.soundcloud.com/davidsnyderchannel https://www.songtradr.com/user/profile/david.snyder

Right off the bat, those banjos are addictive - the vocal delivery on this is incredibly suiting to this sort of style I could absolutely imagine hearing this on the radio! Thanks so much for sharing, you should be proud of this one! Cheers, Deryk

I feel like banjos don't get the recognition they deserve, much like the accordion! There are so many great instruments out there that people just overlook. Excellent use of the styles! <3 And lovely touch to have your wife sing with you! Cheers, Ember

Nice to have Gayle join you. (I thought her vocals needed more reverb to set them back some - they seem dry compared to yours). Your creativity never ceases to amaze me... fj 150+ Songs produced using BIAB RealTracks And 50 more... and some more...

And then..... turning on the computer like we always do, even log in to the PG page. And then..... just by sheer coincidence happened to click on the song you guys just posted. And then..... we picture how the two of you doing this thing together, enjoying every minute of it. Well, we have to say it shows! Very nice work guys!

You're quite a team. As I said on Soundcloud, from start to finish this is an excellent journey. It's enthusiastic thumbs up from me... both of them! All the best, Noel MY SONGS...
