David,
This is tremendous! Love the big rock-ballad feel of this. Great vocal and love the instrument selection.
Almost sounds like a long lost Elvis Costello song...
So excellent!

Hi David,
Is this a cool song, or what! It has a certain retro feel yet a contemporary flavor. Love the bass line and the drums in particular. of course your lyrics are always among the berst on the boards. lots of power ballad in the vocal. Sweet!

Huge vocal with a very nice backing. Liked the subtle strings and the overall arrangement. Really impressive.

I love the sound of the D&B 1st verse - a great set up. A "hurt" vocal - works really well. COOL on all levels.

What would we do or be without her?
Your vocals sound like you left it all in a puddle in front of the mic and backed away shaking.
Good stuff.

David,
You've certainly pulled out all stops with this presentation. The arrangement and the production are powerful and your writing and singing sits really comfortably in this powerhouse setting. Energy beams out everywhere! "Dazzling" is the word that just sprang into my mind.
All the best, Noel

Mr. Snyder... Your vocal in "Mercy" is simply a show-stopper. Truth be told, it startled the hell out me, because I never heard you belt out lyrics in that way, before. Jesus. You really opened yourself up. The music was touched with glory, emotionally speaking. All the RealTracks instruments seemed to pick-up on your incredible inspiration. You better marry that woman !!! This is passionately-conceived, near-overwhelming song-making, Mr. Snyder. Made me stand back to listen to it. LOREN (a.k.a. "bluage")

You are killin' it, son...
Killer vocal - your best, perhaps. Excellent production - one of your best. Nice mix. COOL song. Terrific Rock write - you seem to step that up with each new write.
I think I may be repeating myself from your last song. Which means you are notching it up with each new release. Few people do that. Impressive.

One of your best. Everything fits to the arrangement and one of the best showcases of an true emotional performance i've heard in a while. This is one of those songs that done any other way would have been 'wrong'. Excellent write, arrangement and performance. This one really transcends normal and is a keeper.

Good one, David. Congratulations on having been selected as one of the Best New Alternative Artists on ReverbNation for 2018. I feel this is an important acknowledgement because as a creative artist and musician, it is important for the audience to have a "brand identity," if you don't mind my using that term, or an identification of the creative force behind the production. The best way to achieve this is, of course, to keep listening to David. Thanks for the gifts.

David, I love how you pour it all into your performances..wish I could do that! I like how you conflated Mercy with concept and woman—I think that was your intent. Also, impressed at the completeness of your production...ready for release, no doubt. Thanks for showcasing your intensity!

Thanks Bob! I never thought Elvis Costello, but now that you point it out, I see what you mean!
That's a huge compliment! Thanks for the listen and glad you liked it.
