SO, just for laughs I saw SongTradr was looking for a Neil Young replacement with a 24 hour turnaround. I said "Let me see how fast I can do this." I do not pretend this is my best work, but it was two hours from seeing the request to posting the tune and I was laughing the entire time, so at least it was fun. Can we call March Neil Young songwriting month??? https://soundcloud.com/david-snyder-gigs2/harvest-moongirlHarvest Moongirl By David Snyder Well I’m driving to Alabama With a crazy look in my eyes Don’t know if I’ll make it this evening But maybe by sunrise CH: Cause I miss you baby And the good life that we had And I want your honey You know I miss it bad I miss it bad I miss your honey I miss it bad Bridge And when we climb aboard the silver spaceship With the full moon in our eyes Will you tell me that I’m the old man Sing me a song that makes me cry Will you talk about the needle Or will you talk about the silver spoon Will you dream about Laurel Canyon Or will you dream about the Harvest Moon The Harvest Moon The Harvest Moongirl The Harvest Moon The Harvest Moongirl V2 They don’t want me back in Canada They say they’re glad that I am gone They tell me I can’t sing at all But I just wrote you this song CH: Cause I miss you baby And the good life that we had And I miss your honey You know I want it bad I want it bad I want it bad I miss your honey And I want it bad Tag: So I’m driving to Alabama With a crazy look in my eyes I might not make it by this evening But maybe by sunrise Words and Music by David Snyder copyright 2018/ASCAP/Day of Faith Records Performed by David Snyder File: Harvest Moongirl.SGU Key=C, Tempo 120, Length (m:s)=2:56 Style is _CLOUDED.STY (Clouded Songwriter Folk) RealTracks in style: ~2478:Bass, Acoustic, Held Ev 110 RealTracks in style: ~405:Guitar, Acoustic, Strumming Ev 120 RealTracks in style: ~1119:Guitar, 12-String Acoustic, Strumming Ev 120 RealTracks in style: 408:Guitar, Resonator, Background Allis Ev 120 RealDrums in style: BrushesFolk16ths: a: Brushes b: Brushes Tap

David,
I saw that opportunity and wanted to put something together for it, but just didn't have the time. I think you hit the proverbial nail on the head. Sounds remarkably like NY. You're spot on with this. Your mixes are always so clean - no exception here. yeah - great song and perfect for the opportunity. Good luck!

Hi David
Amazing what you can do in 2 hours.
Wanders a bit.
Like Neil Young.
Very clever.
Cheers.

Two hours?! Man!!!
Brilliant the way you took pieces from various songs of his, added your own stuff, and made a totally new Neil Young song out of it.
I've been a fan of his ever since his Buffalo Springfield days, brilliant songwriter IMHO. His hometown, Omemee, is just about a 10 minute drive from where we live. He did a concert there last december, invite only though so no chance of getting to see him.
But, I digress! Great stuff David as usual, I enjoyed it.

"They don’t want me back in Canada
They say they’re glad that I am gone
They tell me I can’t sing at all
But I just wrote you this song"
Hilarious!
Always enjoy your hurry-up-and-get-er-done songs!
If you haven't read "Waging Heavy Peace" you need to. You and Neil could have some great conversations, no doubt...

This song was so funny! I can't believe you did it in two hours, though. That's so insane. I definitely wouldn't be able to do that, and I am so floored that you were able to. Very impressive considering the turnaround time.
Thanks for sharing!
Cheers,
Ember

Wow - very well done, David  As others have mentioned, the Neil Young influence comes through strong on this one. Your vocal performance is so strong and sincere in this one. You almost force an intensive listen through your vocals. Not to mention, you came up with some outstanding lyrics on this one. Great job - thanks for sharing!
Cheers,
Deryk

"They don’t want me back in Canada They say they’re glad that I am gone They tell me I can’t sing at all But I just wrote you this song" hahahahaha...perfecto. Two hours? It takes me that long to drink enough coffee to just think about putting a new production together. Alabama? Hey now, that got Skynyrd all fired up Cool and two hours or two days...it's most excellent! J&B

David,
You nailed the Neil vibe and intonation- very cool.We do still love him up here in the great white north!
Actually it would be fun to have a "theme month" on the forum...only your good self and Al can put something out in 2 hours though.

Hello, David
2 hours!
It is also important to write quickly.
However, it takes 2 hours including lyrics and recording, it is more than phenomenal.
You must be a genius.
An enjoyable "tribute" to Neil Young.
Best regards.

Hi David Snyder
I envy how you manage to sing words, in a way that your about to sing out of tune, and then the last second go for an epic moment, and make the vocals your own.
Good job....might be better with an instrumental bridge which modulates out of the key a little, and then back into the song. An enjoyable listen

Very nice David. Did it get forwarded? If not it should have been. So good. I submitted an old one that a friend of mine Nick Oldert sang but it wasn’t shortlisted.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
