Well, sometimes it is the simple things.

I had another back of the cocktail napkin lyric song and I recorded it, and HATED IT. I was like, man, this horrible. Garbage can. No way to fix it. Then I went to sleep.

When I woke up, an angel whispered in my ear:

Don't do it in C. Just change it to the key A and you will be fine.

So I did. Now I don't think it is quite so horrible anymore. Just a key change. Who would have known???

LOVE WITHOUT PAROLE

By David Snyder

V1

Yesterday we were eighteen, I can smell that summer rain
I still miss your breathless kiss, and how your sweetness felt like pain
And yeah, I remember you, and when I do, I feel in debt, but no regrets
So how come you're the thing that hurts me
the most when I look back
why would a loving Universe make a heart that works like that

CH

I think you own some part of me and I can't buy it back
I'm a hostage to your memory, why did you do that
and there's some tiny hole inside my heart where you will always be
and I'm doing love without parole, oh yeah
And no one knows but you
how much I loved you
and no one knows but you
what love without parole has done
to me

V2

They say the man upstairs, always has a plan
But the way he makes our hearts, I just don’t understand
One day the world is young, next day the world is old
One day your heart’s on fire, next day it’s all gone cold

CH

I think you own some part of me and I can't buy it back
I'm a hostage to your memory, why did you do that
and there's some tiny hole inside my heart where you will always be
and I'm doing love without parole, oh yeah
And no one knows but you
how much I loved you
and no one knows but you
what love without parole has done
to me
to me, oh oh
this love without parole
this love without parole
is killing me
