Daddy's Home. Hey, sorry I've been away so long. Crazy stuff. I will try and get caught up. I see I have 200 songs to comment on. You people been busy. Here is my political song. Just in Time for Easter. https://soundcloud.com/david-snyder-gigs2/just-in-time-for-easter
Just in Time for EasterBy David Snyder V1 How I miss tomorrow You were dressed up like a yoga doll Now time is spinning backwards We’re all staring at a Brownsville wall And I’m a prophet with no prophecy isn’t that a switch Nothing comes for free but nothing And that won’t make us rich CH And here we are—all dressed up for Sunday Here we are—making plans for someday, someday Wishing we had something new to say So we could come alive some way With idea where we’ve been which way to turn so we fit in And just in time for Easter again V2 We’re not growing older We’re just slowly making up our minds Pay up now or pay up later Everybody get in line I’m a prophet with no prophecy Been fooled too many times But if you fall asleep enough, then Nothing ever seems to be a crime CH And here we are—all dressed up for Sunday Here we are—making plans for someday, someday Wishing we had something new to say So we could come alive some way With no idea where we’ve been, or what it really means to win And just in time for Easter again INST. CH And here we are—all dressed up for Sunday Here we are—making plans for someday, someday Wishing we had something new to say So we could come alive some way With idea where we’ve been which way to turn so we fit in And just in time for Easter again All words and music copyright 2019 by David Snyder, ASCAP/Day of Faith Records David Snyder, Taylor Acoustic and Fender Telecaster Electric Guitars, Vocals, Production, Engineering, Mastering.

Another good one, Mr. Snyder.
Great groove. Jangly, Byrds-like...
Good write. Nice production.

I really like the lyrics on this one--full of great gems. This is the type of music I loved listening to in the late 70s and early 80s. I really dig this song.

Cool song.
When there's no vocal happening it sounds like a Kirsty Macoll Kite sessions demo.
Cheers

"We’re not growing older
We’re just slowly making up our minds
Pay up now or pay up later
Everybody get in line"
Indeed. You packed this one with thought provoking lyrics!
Yep, it definitely has that Byrds vibe...a good thing.
Good to see you around again....

Really well done David - welcome back! Definitely getting some throwback vibes to the late 70's. Love the lyrics on this, they really add another dimension too. Top notch singing that is really memorable, as always - and it has top notch production to boot. Not a thing I'd change - thanks for sharing 
Cheers,
Deryk

Wonderful sound!
made me think of R.E.M.
some great lines, although I couldn't follow it with a road map
a part of it's charm
I have stared at a Brownsville wall in the respectable part of town and was shocked
at the bullets holes and marks put there by the cartel to intimidate, of course this was
a few years back and my last trip there.

David,
I really admire your way with words—your lyrics are always fresh and original—poetic, relatable and heartfelt. Love that chorus! This tune has a lot of life, heart and depth. A pleasure to listen to.
Humble regards,
Deej

David, this one has a lot going for it. The melody is very engaging as are the thought provoking lyrics. Sung with conviction and your trademark unique sound and style. I enjoyed it very much. I did think the drums could have been louder, Tom

David,
good production!
Mix is crisp and clear. I liked Bass on this! And also found this piece of lyrics very interesting:
"Wishing we had something new to say
So we could come alive some way"
Thank you for sharing.
Misha.

Great groove. Jangly, Byrds-like...
Good write. Nice production.
"We’re not growing older
We’re just slowly making up our minds"
Nice.
fj Exactly what I was thinking!! I thought about quoting that line before reading Floyd's comment but decided on this one instead: But if you fall asleep enough, then Nothing ever seems to be a crime Probably 6-8 more I could have chosen. I love the way you write. Even abstract lines that I don't get at a cerebral level just hit me in the heart. Great stuff David!! Take care. Greg

This reminds me of the Byrds, or more accurately, Roger McGuinn....
Loved that second verse lyric job.
Good work on this
