Hello Peeps,

On this new tune, I came up with a cool acoustic guitar lick, but I didn't know what to do with it. This was truly a case where the Band in a Box Style helped me interpret my idea and truly "bring it to life"--both sonically and arrangement wise.

More and more I find BIAB to be a songwriting "partner" and composing tool. There are deep wells of endless fascination in this amazing product for sure.

Hope you dig it. Three wild guesses what it is about.


Where the Water is Clean
By David Snyder

V1

Well I’m putting on my coat
And I’m leaving everything
Cause I got to find a place
Where the water is clean
Going to run across that mountain top
Until I find the silver stream
Got to find that place
That looks a lot more like my dreams

CH:

And I know somebody down here
Knows exactly what I mean
Yeah I can see a little boy and girl
Looking through a front porch screen
And they know they got to find a place
Where the water is clean
Yeah they know they got to find a place
That looks a lot more like their dreams


V2

Gonna sing the music of my heart
Gonna sing the music of my soul
Cause the angels they have lifted me
Above the heresy below, this circus show

CH:

And I know somebody down here
Knows exactly what I mean
Gonna run across that mountain top
Until I find that silver stream
We all we got to find a place
That looks a lot more like our dreams

Coda:

Oooh, oooh

We all got to find a place
where the water is clean
We all got to find a place
That looks a lot more like our dreams
We all got to find a place
That looks a lot more like our dreams
