So, Robert Dean's last song blew me away and when I saw the words "Captain Midnight" I was like "Oh yeah..." and asked his permission to use that. He said go for it. This one is for you Bob.  https://soundcloud.com/davidsnyderchannel/captain-midnightAlso, pursuant to Floyd's drumming lessons: 1. Is the bass loud enough now? 2. Are the drums loud enough now? 3. Is this what you call rock and roll? Captain Midnight By David Snyder Captain Midnight Why you up before the day Spinning messages That will steal our souls away Captain Midnight I hate to see you on T.V. Talking to someone But you’re not speaking for me Pre Chorus And I wish that you would fade to black But there are some things you can’t take back The best that we can hope for Is some rope and a gunny sack CH: Captain Midnight It’s time to call Major Tom Dial up Uranus And maybe they can fly you home Captain Midnight Please leave us alone Captain Midnight Please hang up the phone V2 Captain Midnight Why you want to talk that way Did your mommie Take all your toys away Captain Midnight I hate to see you on the Street Brick by brick you ruin us And the ground beneath your feet Pre Chorus And there are some things you can’t take back Some people are praying for a heart attack The best that we can hope for Is some rope and gunny sack CH: Captain Midnight It’s time to call Major Tom Dial up Uranus And maybe they can fly you home Captain Midnight Leave us alone Captain Midnight Please leave us alone Captain Midnight Please leave us alone Music and Lyrics Copyright 2018 by David Snyder/ASCAP/Day of Faith Records David Snyder Acoustic 12 String, Vocals, additional instrumentation RealTracks in style: 1036:Bass, Electric, NorthernRockBallad Ev 065 Real Track 1004 12 String RealTracks in style: 1598:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm Pop16thsGritty Ev16 065 Real Track 2407 Synth Jazz Funk Plucky RealTracks in style: 806:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm DrivingCountryBalladDirty Ev 065 RealDrums in style: NashvilleEven16^5-a:Snare, HiHat , b:Snare, Ride ******************* Recorded, mixed and engineered by David Snyder at Day of Faith Studios.

Kind of got a Major Tom vibe on this one. Nice tune, thanks!

David,
You've certainly pulled out all those proverbial 'stops' with this one.
The arrangement, the production and the clarity of sound is first class; and your performance sits so very comfortably in amongst them all.
Really impressive work.
All the best,
Noel

Hi David.
Very thumbs up.
Like everything especially your cheeky lyrics and the way the song develops.
Fabulous prechorus and 'did your mommie take all your toys away'.
Sparkling production.
Cheers.

Nicely done... but why pick on poor Captain Midnight?  The song's got a strong Bowie vibe, and a great arrangement. I enjoyed listening to it.

So cool! Your production really keeps improving. I like the sound of this a lot. How did you get such a great mix on the drums? The cymbals are especially and nice and crisp. BTW, to answer your questions, just keep turning everything up. It's the ONLY way to mix

Ground control to David, you have nothing to worry about. The mix, vocals and lyrics are out of this world. Nice crisp acoustic guitar! The instrumentation is perfect.
Two thumbs up.

David! This is a brilliant write. I don't say that lightly. Nicely veiled and yet as explicit as can be. Few can pull it off this well. Outstanding vocal. Terrific instrumentation. The plucky synth is a great add! Showing off the David Snyder genius. Subtle. Stable. I'm re-tweeting this. The drums could be louder. @realFloyd

You did an amazing job here, David! I wouldn't worry about the mix - it sounds amazing I'm definitely getting a David Bowie sort of vibe on this one. The way the music elevates for the chorus was wonderfully done as well. You really nailed this one - thanks so much for sharing!
Cheers,
Deryk

Dave, Listening to this forum gets me all fired up bro! That's why I keep begging people to listen to other people's stuff. It only takes ONE moment listening to something by you or any one the highly talented songwriters on this forum and my blood gets pumping and I am off to the races. It happens instantly--but I get my inspiration HERE man. That's why I keep telling folks, you gotta listen to other people's genius...that's how it works... This forum is always throwing you a bone....Listen...Listen....
