Come Set Me Free
By David Snyder

V1

What if the universe was only just a day
Would we still choose to spend our time this way
I know that this is not what we were meant to be
We cannot let this world control our destiny

CH

Oh Innocence come set me free, come set me free
And show me what true love can really mean

V2

If we were strong we would stand up against these walls
I know our dreams can’t really be this small
I know that this is not what we were meant to be
We were supposed to love even our enemies

CH

Oh Innocence come set me free, come set me free
And show me what true love can really mean

Bridge

Midnight worries won’t you flee
To morning bright and fair
I miss the beauty of the truth
And the sunlight in her hair

CH

Oh Innocence come set me free, come set me free
And show me what true love can really mean
Like ocean winds wake up the trees, wake up the trees
Like morning comes up a fragile breeze

Oh innocence come set me free
Oh innocence come set me free
Oh innocence come set me free

Great song to start the new year David! A song of new resolutions and hopefulness! Nice "happy sounding" music bed and great lyrics! You're off and running into 2018! Thanks, Torrey

A catchy number. And a fine job of getting that Winwood vibe! Looking forward to your 2018 musical journey!...

The sound of the 80's in the 2018's.

This is really good. Love the vibe in this one. Super vocals and backing tracks with outstanding lyrics.

Great job on this one.

What a cool song David. Excellent lyric. I agree super message. Super vocal. Back track was so well done. Love the synths. Well done...

David

Good work in channeling the Steve Winwood vibe.

David,

A different and cool sound to begin the year. I really enjoyed the synth swirling behind your vocals and the positive message... oh, and the nod to one of my favourite singers!

All the best for 2018!

David, You're off to a great start in the new year. I like the synth work. I hear the Winwood influence. Nice job all around, Tom

Great lyrics, and a little Steve Winwood influence goes a long way. (I saw him in concert a few years ago, awesome!)

Strong song to start off the year, David!

“If we were strong we would stand up against these walls
I know our dreams can’t really be this small
I know that this is not what we were meant to be
We were supposed to love even our enemies”

Stronger than a garlic milkshake!

Lots to ponder Mr Snyder and wrapped in a cool production.

J&B

Hey David,

Love this - great sound and vocal. Some really cool mixing going on here - very cool song.

Bob

Way to kick off '18 David!!! I like Winwood but I like your stuff more-more passion and heart. This is really, really good! Really like the arrangement and the percussion part that stays like a steady heartbeat-reminds me of End of the Innocence. Wonderful song!! Happy New Year! Greg

Thanks Robert! I really appreciate that!!

Happy New Year!

Thanks Tom!

Happy New Year!

Hey thanks Noel! Glad to hear from you!

Hope you are well, and Happy New Year!

Thanks Dave, I guess when you say a little Prophet 5 goes a long way you mean...




But seriously, I am glad you suffered through it man. Winwood is awesome though isn't he??

Thanks Dani! I am really glad you enjoyed it! Happy New Year!
