Ok, I always make it a habit to try and post a song on my birthday like Floyd and Tom so here it is. A totally sappy love song. For my new year, I decided to totally sell out to the man and start writing pop--for the women. No more cryptic messages from me. I am turning over a new leaf. https://soundcloud.com/david-snyder-gigs2/fallinghttps://www.reverbnation.com/davidpsnyder/song/29792825-fallingNo mysterious or abstract lyrics here, just straight up Elvis and Paul McCartney. The piano is a real track, but I converted it to midi and ran it through the Abbey Road Grand by Garritan. Get ready for an overload of cheese y'all, but hopefully it will be good cheese. FallingBy David Snyder V1 Look into my eyes I guess you’re not surprised That I'm blown away There’s no one else like you So what else can I do But say what I have to say CH I'm falling Falling in love with you I'm falling Falling in love with you with you V2 Listen to my voice You can tell I have no choice Cause I am swept away I see it in your smile You know that in a while You’ll hear what you know anyway CH I'm falling Falling in love with you I'm falling Falling in love with you with you Bridge: And I would cross a burning bridge On my hands and knees Just to get to you Never looking back What else in the world Do you expect me to do don't you know CH I'm falling Falling in love with you I'm falling Falling in love with you with you Words and music copyright 2018 by David Snyder, ASCAP/Day of Faith Records David Snyder, Vocals, synths, strings, arrangement RealTracks in style: 1268:Bass, Electric, PopUplift Ev16 120 RealTracks in style: 2460:Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm NewAgeAlbertiMoody Ev 140 (Piano converted to midi and run through Abbey Road Grand by Garritan) RealTracks in style: 1270:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm PopUpliftSyncMuted Ev16 120 RealDrums in style: SouthernPopEv16^03-a:Hat, Snare, b:Ride, Snare

Well done.

David, you old softie! This is just so outstandingly good on every level. Possibly the best vocal I have ever heard from you, man, during the chorus especially! Fabulous! Happy birthday BTW

Really well done! Very pretty, and very easy on the ears. Your vocal performance sounds sincere as well, and to boot that chorus is wonderfully catchy. Happy Birthday too - thanks for sharing
Cheers,
Deryk

Happy birthday David, and be glad that I am not John Lennon, HA, but, there is nothing wrong with another love song. Excellent song, soaking wet, but excellent.

Happy Birthday!
Yummy cheese. Simple write and arrangement, which is harder than it seems.
You're promising a year's worth of cheese? Bring it on!

You're promising a year's worth of cheese? Bring it on! Filly agree! Cheese is, indeed, yummy! Just had a roast beef and pepper-jack cheese sandwich with horseradish mustard! Still salivating. This is really good, David - super good! A little cheesy sap here and there is good for us. Your vocal was splendid - that chorus sparkles. Nothing not to like here - everything is so cool it has frost hanging from it. Nice! Happy birthday!!!  Alan

David,
An excellent "simple love song".
Nice arrangement, vocal and mix. Well done.
Happy Birthday, dude!

PS... you said you "converted" the RealTrack of the piano. There is a MIDI SuperTrack for this piano. If you aren't using those, Man!, you need to be grabbing them. No "conversion" required - they are already MIDI - use whatever piano/instrument you chose....

Now that is good and commercial/ catchy some say "simple".
That is clever writing as you already know.
Look at songs like tiger feet from a band called mud.
In all honesty what songs do you remember.
Happy birth day buddy what age are you anyway ?.

David,
Wow,I enjoyed this very much- your inner Harry Nilsson should be unleashed more often!
Sweet vocal that soars in the right places.
A tender ballad - not at all mushy.
