My goal for 2017 is to break on through to the other side--and be as strange as I can possibly be.

Here is the 1st song of 2017.

Happy New Year!

Original Sin

By David Snyder

V1

Woke up in the garden
staring up at the blue
I had the strangest memories
of things I never knew

CH

Now I long for yesterday
when I didn't know a thing
didn't know a thing
I only had a heart back then
and all I did was sing, all I did was sing
now they took away my heart
and replaced it with a sense of time
a sense of time
I wish that I could give it back
then I would be fine
I would be fine


V2

Someone had it in for me
best not know the truth
things were just beginning for me
what was I to do

CH

Now I long for yesterday
when I didn't know a thing
didn't know a thing, not a thing
I only had a heart back then
all I did was sing, all I did was sing
now they took away my heart
and replaced it with a knowing mind
a knowing mind
I wish that I could give it back
then I would be fine
I would be fine


V3

So say a prayer for me
though there's nothing to defend
I only know that I get blamed
In places I’ve never been
And no one bothers telling me
How this game will end
And no one's making sense to me
When they talk about original sin

CH.

And ooo--oooh, how will it end
And no’s making sense to me
When they talk about original sin

(Repeat and Rideout)

David,

Ok, here's what I'm hearing. It sounds like Jim Steinman, Peter Gabriel & Pink Floyd met in a bar late after midnight and said let's make a record, and this is the result...

Loved it! You keep pushing the boundaries.

Was there really anything to break through? smile

Me thinks Bob nailed the description!

"I had the strangest memories of things I never knew."

I had to start the song over after hearing that. Just keep thinking about it.

Fascinating write and production.

That was a mushroom garden, right?

Boundaries? We don't need no steenkin' boundaries...

What an excellent rock opera type write!

Unique. Original and sinful.

You are a BIAB god.

Love the vocal. More reverb! More delay!

Dude!

Strange (in a good way) but engaging - nice big sound and interesting progression.
Good work - nicely melodic.

Hey Floyd man!

Thanks a billion, I have a big grin on my face right now.

But WAIT!!! I thought YOU were the BIAB god.

Are we living in some kind of ethereal other-worldly six dimensional parallax mushroom universe of multiple BIAB deities????

Wait, wait...Eb..Eb6...Abm7...borrowed chord...stolen chord.......sudden key change....

Gotta run man.

Happy New Year and stuff. See ya on the other side Caiao!

David,

Long after the "others" finally arrive and cannot make sense of our species they`re going to drop by David Snyder`s place and listening to your songs, say... oh, now we get it!
That`s a long winded way of saying this is very cool psychedelic wonder stuff.
Very enjoyable!

Robert

David, " I had the strangest memories of things I never knew". What a line! Loved the chord progression and the huge sound. Good job with the synths and the strings. I enjoyed it. Tom

Great sound!
Feels like I discovered a lost Bowie track that is so good. Love the melody and chord
changes.

Well that definitely is a goal we support!
Didn't even know there was a Bowie style;-)

Really like this one, nice and dramatic.
