Judgment Day

By David Snyder

https://soundcloud.com/david-snyder-gigs2/judgment-day

V1

Every time I watch the t.v.
They’re putting up another fence
From the White House to the border
Nothing but hate and violence
And when I see the face of evil
I can tell it hasn’t changed
He died his hair another color
But he still talks and acts deranged

CH

And oh baby
We have to find another place
And oh baby
We can’t wait on Judgment Day

V2

Seven Riders are approaching
For the First Apocalypse
Oh God in heaven please forgive us
Will be the words on everybody’s lips

CH

And oh baby
I don’t know what else to say
And oh baby
We can’t wait on Judgment Day
And oh baby, we both know that that’s too late

Bridge

I need to know that someone’s listening
Cause I can’t go this one alone
I need to know the cross is empty
And that they rolled away the stone

V3

So I’ll keep praying and believing
And I’ll imagine all I want
I’d rather dream that there's a heaven
Cause we have nothing if we don’t

CH

And oh baby
I don’t know what else to say
And oh baby
We can’t wait on Judgment Day
And oh baby, we both know that that’s too late

Wow! A bit apocalyptic but definitely hittin' home.

This is one of your best vocal performances...really emotive and strong.

Get kind of an updated Blonde On Blonde vibe...

Excellent!

Well done! Straightforward arrangement, good write, good mix, nice singing.

But... I always thought there were Four Horseman of the Apocalypse? wink

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Cool and then some.

I like the way your voice soars on "And oh baby." What a great sound with your instrumentation: the guitars seem to swirl and surround me, causing me to see the music in colors. Great lyrics too. So true, so true.

David,
the angst, near despair and hurt are well depicted in this song.
Desperate times, desperate acts, desperate hope and desperate measures are better than despair.
Your playing really kicked this along.
Well done.
I had to come back - I'd walked around the house singing the chorus in my head for an hour!!!
There's some good Tom Petty in this as well.
Good Ear Worm!!

David,

Stunning. Jaw-droppingly good.

This is a truly excellent write. Not a single word out of place.

Nice arrangement. Tasty stuff added at the right times. Good drum sound. The strings are cool. I thought the bass could have been just a touch "beefier" (but I can hear it fine).

Your vocal is really nice. It has heart.

A big WOW, Mr Snyder. I like everything about this.

YOUR. BEST. EVER.

Thanks Joe!

I so appreciate you pointing out the "timbre." I worked really hard on that and struggled with it forever before I got it right.

It came down to getting an exact sound on the acoustics, and then using a very specific amp sound with my stratocaster playing several parts.

Thanks for noticing man!!
