Well, here is another thoughtless song. Have no idea how these things pop into my head. Not like I have had any bad country redneck experiences in the dating world or anything. Anyway, I am playing the "Keith Richards" style herky jerky electric that comes in on CH 1. I don't know what you call this style but it is sort of deep in the pocket but out of the pocket at the same time. Keith has tried to explain that it is the heart of rock and roll, yet he can't articulate how it works, and neither can I. Best Damned Breakup Songhttps://soundcloud.com/david-snyder-gigs4/best-damned-breakup-songby David Snyder V1 I want to thank you for all the times you passed out in my yard and threw up on my truck I want thank you for everything you did that made my life so hard and being the queen of bad luck and when you slept with my friend you helped me see the end it was the only thing you did right cause you finally made me go to church where I got down on my knees and begged Jesus to help me see the light CH And now I see you did nothing you did nothing wrong cause I found a girl who's nothing like you she's sweet, and pretty and strong She drinks apple juice, and runs a yoga group and I'm right where I belong But the best thing is the new gold record you gave me and girl you know it's dedicated to you and I hope one day you'll sing along yeah I hope one day you’ll sing along and I call it yeah I call it My best damned breakup song V2 I want to thank you for all the times you lied right into my eyes and ripped a hole right through my heart I want to thank you for everything you stole that made me fall apart but that Grammy, girl, is gonna heal my broken heart Bridge And I got sick with you But I know that I can beat it and when I cross that bridge you know I must repeat it CH Oh, cause now I know that you did nothing you did nothing wrong Cause I found a girl who's nothing like you she's sweet, and pretty and strong She drinks apple juice, and runs a yoga group and I'm right where I belong But the best thing is the new gold record you gave me and girl I know it's dedicated to you and I hope one day you'll sing along yeah I hope one day you’ll sing along and I call it yeah I call it My best damned breakup song And it’s written just for you All Words and Music copyright 2024 by David Snyder ASCAP/Day of Faith Records David Snyder: Vocals, Guitar, Additional Instrumentation, Production, Mixing, Mastering RealTracks in style: 4020:Bass, Electric, ModernCountry16ths Ev16 075 RealTracks in style: 1761:Guitar, Acoustic, Strumming Pop16ths Ev16 085 RealTracks in style: 2905:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm BrightBluesyPopColin Ev 100 RealDrums in style:Americana16GroovinBrushFred^1-a,b:Brushes,Toms

Channeling Dylan again? This reminded me of Like A Rolling Stone in more than a few places.
The mix sounds good. Same with your vocals.

Wow, that's a lot of action packed into three minutes! My favorite guitar lesson by Keith starts "Five strings, three notes, two fingers and one...." Quite a nice guitar tribute on your part, and a sweetly clever song. Nicely played.

David,
Yep - have to agree with the Dylan references. Not too shabby, huh?
Does it really matter where the inspiration comes from, as long as it keeps coming? Your inspired creativity always keeps me smiling and wanting more. Yep - cool song!

Really enjoy listening to Keith try to explain the ethereal magic that is music. Still, I much prefer hearing you sing about it, David. Apropriately titled and those lyrics --where do they come from? Always enjoy the fun ingredients you add to your song recipes. Very tasty.

"Have no idea how these things pop into my head", I don't care how the pop into your head David I just want them to keep popping!
A 60s Dylan genre song that is perfect in every way.
Loved it!

Suddenly I realized how many proctologists are on the road.

Thanks Soren.
Yes, I guess I just can't seem to get those early Dylan influences out of my bloodstream no matter how hard I try.
Oh well. If I have to be compared to Dylan I guess I'll just have to take it!!!

I agree with GuitarHacker, this has echoes of Dylan. But man, you are one nonlinear, creative songmaster  There's nothin' plain vanilla or cookie-cutter about you. Another out-of-the-box song I enjoyed. --Steve
https://soundcloud.com/user-646279677BiaB 2026 Windows For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.

David,
I knew before hitting play that there was going to be a truck in here as well as Jesus and a church! I also knew you were going to make it all fresh and new!
Nobody can do a Dylan doing Country like you! Your creative mind amazes me! I wish I could just come up with new stuff like you do! I have to think for weeks usually to come up with something! You are a treasure to this forum!
Take care, TB

Great idea with great lyrics -> great song. But I expected a song like Marx "How Can I Miss You if You Won't Go Away" that makes HER leave you

Superb lyric writing. Dylanesque to a T. Now, you need to stop being so humble.

Hilarious, lives up to the title, the best and the meanest. From Church Girls to Apple Juice drinkers, no-one can express this better than Mr. Snyder, irony to the max: "But the best thing is the new gold record you gave me/and girl you know it's dedicated to you/and I hope one day you'll sing along"
