Hey, I know the 1st of April was two days ago, but Gayle and I are SO EXCITED to tell our friends that we are the first Americans to ever be invited to Eurovision and we are going to Iceland in two weeks for preliminary warmups then off to Sweden in May!! The entire song here was arranged and produced almost in its entirety in RealBand, and I just moved it all to Cakewalk for the mix and some "fancy stuff." In essence, I used a bed of simple BIAB tracks, and then threw in everything but the kitchen sink with too many BIAB synths to mention, extracting the midi and running them through sound libraries. I played a lot of the synths and orchestral hits myself "freehand." This is just for fun and to make people laugh, so feel free to laugh. Just trying to bring some sunshine into this sad old world. THE GREATEST SONGhttps://soundcloud.com/david-snyder-gigs4/the-greatest-song
By David and Gayle SnyderV1 Wish I could be a Leprechaun Or just a fairy queen So I could sing All of the truth That is inside of me I wish that I could spread my wings Fly over fjords and streams And finally find my magic place I will at last be free (Chorus) And sing the song of hope and joy That I was meant to sing With every voice inside of me Just longing to be Free And someday you'll see me on TV And they will be clapping And showing love to me And showing love to me! (Verse 2) Wish I could ride a mighty steed Over river beds and seas I would name that horse Pegasus A wonder to be seen! Most people just want something But not me! I want to be a King Be a King!!! (Chorus) And sing the song of hope and joy That I was meant to sing With every voice inside of me Just longing to be Free And someday you'll see me on TV And they will be clapping And showing love to me And showing love to me! (Is she singing Icelandic???) REPEAT CHORUS (This is where Gayle hits the Magic Note!!!)

Eurovision will never be the same! You two will make it big time in Europe as Eurovisions' Sunny and Cher  Super song. Outstanding backing band. Great vocals and lyrics. Super mix.
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.

Mission accomplished! Big smile here for sure. Great job, you two! Fun to see Gayle's playful take on your always entertaining madness. Those layers of synths sound GREAT...

"Hey, I know the 1st of April was two days ago ..." Hmmmmm, are we missing something? 🤔 😀
That is an EPIC production. The thought of mixing that makes our collective heads spin! The sheer amount of thought, time and effort is waaaay above our production pay grade!
👍👍👍

Hi, David. The title pretty much says it all. And now I've got this image in my head of you as a fairy queen, and... I can't unsee it! Other than that... I enjoyed it.

Better than most of the Eurovision songs starting from the bombastic title to the humoristic lyrics and rich arrangement. And the magic note is something to wait for For some strange reason I'm thinking about Will Ferrell when listening to this song... why? The only problem with the song is that the maximum duration of an Eurovision song is three minutes, so this one would be disqualified, but I guess you will make necessary cuts for the stage version  Janne
