Ordinary Places Like David Snyder I saw the Songtradr listing for a Neil Young replacement of "Journey Through The Past." I thought I had missed the deadline but they extended it an extra day. So I wrote this and threw it together late last night. I'm not real familiar with Niel Young but this seemed similar to the reference song. Ordinary Places Real Tracks: 532: Bass, Acoustic, Pop Sw 2124:Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm, Country Shuffle 952:Guitar, Acoustic, Rhythm, Country Boogie Open 2856:Harmonica, Background, Country Slow Swing Jelly Roll 609:Guitar, Resonator, Background Roundup Real Drums=Nashville Swing 8 Vocals, Mixing and Editing done in Cubase 9 Lyrics: Do you ever think of me and the times we had? We always seemed to have a good time wherever we were at. Sitting down at the coffee shop watching people walk by Laughing and joking bout what they were wearing and wondering why. Your hand in mine was soft as silk on that bench we’d share. Now every time I pass by that shop I still see you there. Those ordinary places bring me thoughts of you. Do those ordinary places Bring thoughts of me to you? I catch myself when I’m out and about starring into space A big ol' grin thinking of you plastered on my face. Standing in line at the grocery store I can see you there. Reading the covers of the magazines and playing with your hair. The little memories of me and you, they take me away. Popping up everywhere I go every single day. Those ordinary places bring me thoughts of you. Do those ordinary places Bring thoughts of me to you?

I really like this one. Your vocals are stellar. It's a good write and arrangement and the mix is spot on. Glad they extended a day so you could get this one in.

Very nice composition - good set of lyrics and an excellent vocal(which considering Neil's somewhat ragged vocal style may not win you the Neil Young gig!).
Has a really good overall feel.

What a tune! I thoroughly enjoyed this one. As others have mentioned - your vocals are superb here, Samuel. Not only do you hit every note perfectly but the delivery is so raw and passionate. It really adds a wonderful dynamic. Plus, the lyrics carry a good weight too. It sounds very sincere and heartfelt. You should be proud of this one - thanks for sharing
Cheers, Deryk

I really enjoyed your vocals on this song. Neil Young attempt or not, I think at the end of the day that this is a really good song that you should be proud of no matter the outcome.
Thanks for sharing!
Cheers, Ember

Very familiar with Neil Young being a Canadian boy from Manitoba. I think you did a great job capturing a Neil Young song. Well done..

I liked this a lot, very compelling. The intro hooked me in the first few bars. Vocals perfect for the tune. And some fine craftsmanship in the lyrics. Nicely done!

Good write, production and vocals. I enjoyed listening to it.
Even more impressive when I read you "threw it together late last night" - it certainly doesn't sound like a last minute submission.

Good job man.
I am not sure how this whole thing works to tell you the truth. I have had some stuff shortlisted that were really, really goofy stupid things that took two seconds and other stuff that I spent more time on I got:
This song was listened to at 2:01 p.m.
We decided not to use this song at 2:01 pm.
I will keep giving it a try for a year, because I figure why not, but I do have questions. For example, I know for a fact that last month they scraped a list from a small time music placement firm's list and made it look like they had these great deals. It actuality, they were pitching to someone else's pitch sheet. I know this because I have email correspondence with the music placement director for that project.
So, that may be how the "business" works but there is a lot I don't get right now, and maybe I am not supposed to get it.
For the Neil Young thing, I dunno, if they didn't pick yours or mine for a longer listen, what DID they pick. I can see mine, because it was tongue in cheek from the get go, but yours was dead on.
So, are they real, or not?
I can't figure it out.
It seems really, really murky to me at this point.

Samuel, I thought this was great. Laid back arrangement with a big soulful vocal. Good luck with it.

A good listen, Samuel.
An interesting idea for a write. Actually reminded me more of something from The Band than a Neil Young thing - but that puts it in the same area...

We've listened to Young through all his permutations and given that you haven't you did a fine job of nailing his vibe...vocally and lyrically.
Re Songtradr we joined last spring, have had 56 shortlists, made the finals many times (on the wanted list) and never got licensed until last week when we were notified that Mood Music had licensed 14 of our tunes - albeit on the deals board.
Hang in. It's cheap and you never know!
We enjoyed this song!
