OP David Snyder Veteran Joined: Aug 2014 Posts: 8,327 North Carolina	People have been asking how to get inspiration for a song. I say use the title of the style. I saw this style and I asked myself, what should I call this song? Then I asked myself, "What would Callie do?" Then I had it! Comets! Use the style name! What should it be about? Hmmmmmmm. Hey, comets!!!! BTW, anyone who has been following me on soundcloud needs to follow me at the link below because I ran out of space on Soundcloud (again) and had to start over. https://www.reverbnation.com/davidpsnyder/song/29358791-comets https://soundcloud.com/david-snyder-gigs2/comets Comets By David Snyder V1 Comets shoot across the atmosphere Comets shoot across my brain Ever since they took the light away Just hasn’t been the same CH: When the world explodes Are we the only ones who know it, or see it When the world explodes Are we the only ones who hear it, or get it V2 Comets shoot across my deepest fears Comets bursting into flames I’m out of love with nearly everything You know this traffic is insane CH When the world explodes Are we the only ones who know it, or see it When the world explodes Are we the only ones who hear it, or get it When the world explodes Are we supposed to just forget it Are we supposed to just forget it Bridge: Look us around us baby tell me what you see Is this what we always dreamed about Look around us baby tell me what you need Any wonder why we’re full of rage and doubt CH When the world explodes Are we the only ones who know it, or see it When the world explodes Are we the only ones who hear it, or get it When the world explodes Are we supposed to just forget it Are we supposed to just forget it Words and Music copyright David Snyder 2018 ASCAP/Day of Faith Records Style is _COMETS.STY (Comets Atmosphere Hip Hop Ballad) RealTracks in style: ~2579:Bass, Synth, RnBModernSub Ev16 065 RealTracks in style: 1542:Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm PopBelieve Ev16 065 RealTracks in style: ~688:Organ, B3, Background Pop Ev 065 RealTracks in style: 2668:Pedal Steel, Background WestCoastBallad Ev 065 RealTracks in song: 2930:Guitar, Acoustic, Rhythm FolkRock8thsBrent Ev 100 RealTracks in song: 1600:Guitar, High-Strung Acoustic, Rhythm Pop16ths Ev16 065 RealDrums in style: RnBModernEv16^01-a:Kick, Clap , b:Kick, LightHiHat 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

Those background singers fit perfectly. This is your best to date IMHO. Whenever I get something stuck in the back of my throat, I dislodge it by drinking a beer.

There is so much emotion to this tune - particularly in the chorus when you hit those falsetto notes. It makes it hit even more harder emotionally, and it gives it a raw sincerity. Really, really well done. Sounds incredibly well produced as well. Not a thing I'd change here - thanks so much for sharing Cheers, Deryk

This song is no exception, and it's cool to have an insight in to how you name your songs. I feel like Comet is an appropriate name for this song. Thanks for sharing! Cheers, Ember

Love the sustained piano at the end. Ya' nailed it. -- David Cuny My virtual singer development blog Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

The falsetto vocal part absolutely makes the song along with what sounded like some subtle steel parts! One of my favorites of yours up to this point! Thanks, Torrey

rayc Veteran Joined: Apr 2016 Posts: 6,915 Cooran Queensland Australia	Excellent work David - writing & production are ace. The vocal performance is a nice, soulish version of Tom Petty meets Dylan. The only nit I could pick is that there's a fair bit of sibilant essing. I don't know if it's mic technique, the effects of the reverb or something else but it is easily treated in most DAWs. Excellent work. Cheers rayc "What's so funny about peace, love & understanding?" - N.Lowe

Yep. as Deryk said " There is so much emotion to this tune - particularly in the chorus when you hit those falsetto notes. It makes it hit even more harder emotionally, and it gives it a raw sincerity." Yep. Bleak, bleak and more bleak but assuredly well done in all aspects. Fortunately as I type I'm looking out a window into our homestead forest that is filled with lovely spring blooms of many varieties. That helps Carry on....
