Hi David,
I think this is my new favorite of yours... I like the energy in it, and the band sounds perfect for the song. It comes across as more than a song, almost an anthem.
It's interesting to see you feeding off Bob's energy. It had never occurred to me before, but now I see a real similarity of style between you two and I think you share the same core philosophy of what good music should be made of.
I heard TANGLED UP IN BLUE all through this, but I think floyd makes a good point when he says that you should sound like David Snyder more than like Bob Dylan. Having said that, I think it's impossible to sound like somebody else entirely... so if you are comfortable with some of Dylan's vocal style, spin it a bit to make it your own. Or not.. I'm just kicking ideas around, not giving advice.
I thought the lyrics to this were quite good. A few lines that stood out to me were:
Greasy hair and diamond rings
Tells me things I need to know
I say tell me something devil
Something don’t feel right
Your music sounds like gunfire
And it’s drowning out the night
The lyrics remind me of something Paul Simon might have written.
Anyway, I enjoyed the listen and I'm happy to see forum members inspiring one another! Let's hope that trend continues!
