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. https://soundcloud.com/davidsnyderchannel/where-the-water-is-clean 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 Words and Music Copyright 2016 by David Snyder **** Song Summary *********** Title: Where the Water Is Clean Key=G , Tempo 80, Length (m:s)=3:48 Style: Reunion Style (Xtra Syles) RealTracks in style: ~1636:Bass, Electric, JazzFunkBreezy Ev16 075 RealTracks in style: 2334:String Quartet, Rhythm PopChamber Ev 085 RealTracks in style: 2552:Guitar, Acoustic, Fingerpicking Songwriter16ths Ev16 075 RealTracks in style: 1761:Guitar, Acoustic, Strumming Pop16ths Ev16 085 RealTracks in style: 1947:Mandolin, Rhythm PopModernGrooveAndy Ev16 075 RealDrums in style: NashvilleBrushesBalladPushEv16: a: Sidestick, Brushes b: Brushes David Snyder Songwriter/Renaissance Man Studio + Fingers https://davidsnydersongs.com/ https://spoti.fi/359Gigs www.davidsnydermusic.com/ www.reverbnation.com/davidpsnyder www.soundcloud.com/davidsnyderchannel https://www.songtradr.com/user/profile/david.snyder

The write reminded me of Neil Young mixed with a little help from Stephen Stills... in the days when they were doing good, heady stuff.... Super! Murky waters. For years to come... but don't stop dreaming... fj 150+ Songs produced using BIAB RealTracks And 50 more... and some more...

I really like the sound you've discovered with this production and the sense of longing that it creates. You've done a great job putting this together. Yet another notch in your songwriting belt!

Greg Johnson Veteran G Joined: Dec 2013 Posts: 6,938 Davis, CA	Really cool song!! Gets better the longer you listen to it. Some interesting harmonic stuff going on, and a very passionate vocal. On first listen, it struck me that the lyric in the chorus could be delivered on every musical phrase for the first 2-4 lines to give more variety to it rhythmically. However, it works great the way it is too. Wonderful listen!! Take care. Greg

I wrote to PG Music about a hundred times and said I felt I qualified for dual citizenship now, but so far, I have not received it, so I just started walking. It has been a long walk man.
