RADIO MAGICBy David Snyder https://soundcloud.com/david-snyder-gigs2/radio-magicV1 Everybody said we were born On the wrong side of the street We fought for everything we had When it all seemed out of reach All we had was our radio You might say it wasn’t much CHORUS But that Radio Magic Helped us fall in Love That Radio Magic Helped us fall in Love And that was enough V2 Now nobody can put us down Cause we’re braver than the rest We fought with heart and we sung with soul When they put us to the test All we had was our radio You might say it wasn’t much CHORUS But that Radio Magic Helped us fall in Love That Radio Magic Helped us fall in Love And that was enough Bridge Oh I remember our fighting days the summer time, those ocean waves, the board walk town, the magic sound, those frantic kisses under the stars, the loud guitars when we knew exactly who we are CHORUS And that Radio Magic Helped us fall in Love That Radio Magic Helped us fall in Love And that was enough That was enough That was enough (repeat, ride out) Words and music by David Snyder Copyright 2018, ASCAP/Day of Faith Records David Snyder, Lead and Backing Vocals, Keyboards, Strings, Production, Additional Instrumentation, Arrangement, Production, Mastering Started with this and added other stuff: (Piano, synths, etc.) Master Bus: Scheps Omni Channel, Waves J-37 Tape Emulator RealTracks in style: 1253:Bass, Electric, PopShiningHeld Ev 120 RealTracks in style: 1262:Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm PopShiningHeld Ev 120 RealTracks in style: ~405:Guitar, Acoustic, Strumming Ev 120 RealTracks in style: 634:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm PopAmericanMuted Ev 120 (B:8ths) Loop in Style: House-Techno-Trance\House - crunchy_120_b drums ev16.wav RealDrums in style: MetalSlowBigTomGroove: a: Toms, Snare b: Busy Big Toms, Snare

Nice... kinda Bruce Springsteen-ish ... loved that layering on the RADIO MAGIC phrase. Well done.

Hi David,
I fully agree with Herb's Springsteen analogy. This really is a terrific song. You'll touch a lot of memories for a lot of folks with this. I could instantly relate to this - mine was a blue and off-white transistor radio. I think a lot of old farts like me will be able to own the sentiment in this one. The chorus is total pleasure - both lyrically and the way you sound-crafted it. I can say without hesitation that this is my very favorite song of yours that I've heard. As I said over on Soundcloud - this is pure gold.
Alan

The chorus is a blend of honey and butter. Alan is right, you do touch a lot of memories with this song. This song sounds like it would have been part of that radio magic of yesteryear.

My 1st thought was Jefferson Starship's We Built This City as it has that nostalgia hit as well as a BIG chorus hook. It'd really suit that production and Grace's voice.
Great work.
Cheers

Very cool tune David. I got the Springsteen vibe to start as well. Very cool harmonies. Super vocal and backtrack. Such a creative lyric. Super story telling. Well done

My new favorite from you I think. What a song!
Just great writing, very easy to relate to the lyrics.
Man, and the way you handled that chorus ... brilliant!
Excellent, David!

David, thanks for posting this. Here's what struck me most about your track:
1) Really liked how you doubled up on the "radio magic" words in the chorus...very effective!
2) Loved your overall concept, on the radio--as has been said before, the old-timers here remember the first notes of "She Loves Me" and other "magic" coming through the little transister radio that was tucked under the pillow, until the 9v battery wore out!
----Sorry about that very specific memory, but I'll bet alot of the forum friends remember that one clearly!
3) Great design overall, chorus repeat, the way you ending it...all the way around, excellent production concept.
4) I didn't get the reference to the fighting, but I'm thinking that it comes from being on opposite sides of the track? But I liked the idea that common radio experiences were able to resolve conflict.
Thanks again for keeping the creativity going!

Sounds like a David Snyder song to me. Super cool sound in the chorus. Very Pop.... good arrangement... nice mix. Could easily see this making a little Radio Magic. That was enough.  fj

David, great harmonies on the chorus. Good mix and arrangement. A well written driving rock song. One of your most relatable in my opinion. Well done, Tom

David,
Love the chorus hook and the pop energy you bring to this.
Very radio ready with some nice modern touches (crunchy drums!) on the production.
Excellent vocal and harmonies!

The radio was such a powerful thing back in the day. I kind of miss that radio seems to have phased out and there are fewer and fewer radio stations now that everything is hand-held these days, or is being streamed.
Thanks for sharing!
Cheers,
Ember

Hi David,
Great song - I really liked it. Instantly activated a lot of memories from the 70s where I spend many nights listening to Radio Luxembourg (probably an European thing).
Thanks for sharing!

You've written a great nostalgic song... I think I'm hearing a Hal Ketchum quality to the piece... Nice work... Question AM or FM
