Well, I finally was able to find some time to write and mix a new tune! Whew, what a month!

Anyway, I am really stoked, because I was able to hit a B4 at the end of the tune, and actually hold it--twice. Last time I checked I was stuck on G4 so I am making progress. Hope you like it. The main piano part was fun to play.

One of These Days

by David Snyder

https://soundcloud.com/david-snyder-gigs3/one-of-these-days

V1 

One of these days 
I will write a melody 
sing what I want to sing 
see what I want to see 
I will leave myself behind 
Oh I will leave myself behind
one of these days 
I may be free
One of these days
I may be free

CH

But today 
I can hardly make it off my 
knees 
and I try to sing 
but I only scream 
Oh baby maybe I’m just going through a phase
Maybe I’m just going through a phase
But I hope it will be over
One of these days

V2

One of these days 
I will find out what I need 
figure out  what's killing me 
what I was meant to be 
I will break away from here 
Oh break away from here
Put a boat out in the ocean 
If I can finally learn to steer 

CH 

But today 
I can hardly make it off my 
knees 
and I try to sing 
but I only scream 
Oh baby maybe I’m just going through a phase
Maybe I’m just going through a phase
But I hope it will be over
One of these days


Bridge

Oh I don't know what I'm searching for 
but I know I want more 
I'll keep looking for a sign 
try to figure out my mind 
Before I lose it
It might happen just in time

CH

But today 
I can hardly make it off my 
knees 
and I try to sing 
but I only scream 
Oh baby maybe I’m just going through a phase
Maybe I’m just going through a phase
But I hope it will be over
One of these days

1st thing I noticed was the centre of the sound stage was very crowded...perhaps move the acoustic over to the right to balance the piano.
B4 galore....and twice.
Good one, another semi confessional self assessment lyric that works well.
Good one David.


Cheers

David, you are one very talented individual!
Great lyricist, singer, and the master of many instruments.
I really liked this one.
Super vocal range.

As previously said this one is brilliant!


My goal this weekend is to move just enough each day so that no one pokes me to see if I'm dead or not.

Great energy!!! I agree that that things could be separated out a bit and not sound so center dense (at least on my studio headphones). The vocals are raw and honest and that's good in these days of Blah and Bland. I enjoyed this one, as I said...great energy and good songwriting. Unload the center just a bit and I'm all in.

Hey David...really great song...man can I identify with this one! somedays you hope that the effects of Father Time would or could back off a bit but he is who he is I guess...as stated earlier, the energy is great...I listened through my studio speakers so I can't comment on the panning...I'll leave that to the headphone guys...nevertheless I really like the song and the B4 was superb! best regards...Dan

David,

I can't tell you how much it elates me to see you so active in the forum these days! I remember a time when you were absent for quite a while and the forum suffered from it! You are a vital part of this community!
Your creativity shines through again here with this lovely song! I like hearing your "solo" efforts along with your collabs!
I'm guessing you threw on a tighter pair of undies to hit those last notes lol!

Thanks, TB

Good, relatable lyrics, "I'll keep looking for a sign / try to figure out my mind / Before I lose it".
Classic hit song material that grows on every listen, sounds like the song was made effortlessly. Pleasant melody and nice chord progression. Smooth band with nice drum groove. The piano reminds me nicely of The Way It Is.
Enjoyable familiar vocals and good that you had one of those days to reach that high note smile

If it's a phase, it's a good one... keep it up...
Nice sound. Flows well.
Good job on the piano parts. Has a bit of a Bruce Hornsby flavoring... nice!

Hey David ...

One of these days you might write something that's not great - but I got no money on that remote possibility.

Your creativity and self-perspective shine on this one. If I tried to hit a B4, my larynx would be in ER. Keep up the great work ... we like it!

Hi, "The Real" David.

Classic Synder.

Your singing works fine. You certainly made me wait for that high B!

Piano playing it coming along fine as well.

Nice write, too. smile

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

B(4)!?! Sheesh, I couldn't get there even with shock treatment. I thoroughly enjoy your creative output, David. Excellent vocal style. Fun chord changes and melody, and that piano is sounding really good. One of these days... yeah, great title with so many ways to take it, and your lyrics are terrific. Well done!! Had to listen twice. Damn, tht B(4) is perfect --and strong.


Enjoy whatever happens!
