First song with BIAB 2018.

Every Day She Touches Turns to Gold
By David Snyder

V1

Well I’ve never seen
The seven wonders of the world
But I’ve seen the most important one
She’s standing on the front porch waiting for me
Every day when I come home

Ch:

And every day she touches
Gives me a better start
She makes me warm, when I feel cold
And every day she touches
Makes me feel so young at heart
And I know we’ll never grow old
Cause every day she touches, every day she touches
Every day she touches turns to gold
And I sing:
Wooooo…ooo, oh yeah
Woo…oo I just love my girl
And I sing:
Wooooo…ooo, oh yeah
Woo…oo I just love my girl

V2

Got no desire to be
the famous king of anything
I already have all I need to know
And everything I want, I’m holding in my arms
And I swear, I’ll never let her go

Ch:

And every day she touches
Gives me a better start
She makes me warm, when I feel cold
And every day she touches
Makes me feel so young at heart
And I know we’ll never grow old
Cause every day she touches, every day she touches
Every day she touches turns to gold
And I sing:
Wooooo…ooo, oh yeah
Woo…oo I just love my girl
And I sing:
Wooooo…ooo, oh yeah
Woo…oo I just love my girl
Cause every day she touches, every day she touches
Every day she touches turns to gold

David,

That warmed things up for me- such a lovely thought in the lyrics and I liked the vulnerable feel of your vocals.
I hear some Randy Newman in this.
Those smooth ooohs are so well done!

"Well I’ve never seen
The seven wonders of the world
But I’ve seen the most important one
She’s standing on the front porch waiting for me
Every day when I come home"

Well that's a "rip the paint right off of your heart" opener!

What to say...it's simply a damn good love song in a world that needs more.

Thank you.

David, you came up with a super overall sound on this! I am hearing McCartney in this in several places (especially some of the bass parts), kind of like a jazzy version of something he would come up with. Really liked the ooh breaks and the double tracked vocal coming in was a nice touch! Thanks, Torrey

Nice! Well written and performed, just a great feel good song.

Love the "Wooooo…ooo" parts, perfect! And that synth bass is the cats meow.

Really good, David! I'm over on reverb, "Stand by you" was up after this one so I'm giving that a spin too.

Very cool, David.

Like Torrey, I heard a lot of McCartney in this. Bought the write and the sound - especially the bass! - need to remember that one to try!

Super.

Nice job breaking the fourth wall! The band did a great job helping out you out there. Bonuses all around!

I thought the initial patter would pull me out of the song. But as floydjane said, you sold it and sucked me in. Well done!

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?
