Gregg Allman came down for another visit so we had to bust out another one. He showed me a few cool chords.

Hallelujah
(She's My Baby)

CH

Hallelujah
She’s my baby
So I want
For nothing more
Hallelujah
She’s my baby
So I want
For nothing more

V1

Crosswinds and hurricanes
Daylight ain’t that a shame
The hurt that we all feel
Broke sky and a shattered heart
Days that rip your dreams apart
And you think your wounds wont’ heal
But I think one day they will
Cause she walks beside me
Up every hill


CH

Hallelujah
She’s my baby
So I want
For nothing more

V2

Shipwrecks on human soil
What do you get for all your toil
You wonder a lot sometimes
Broke dreams and a battered soul
Every day takes its toll
Sometimes you almost lose your mind
But if I ever make it to those gates
Here is what I plan to say

CH

Hallelujah
She was my baby
So I wanted
For nothing more
So I wanted
For nothing more


Inst

David,

An excellent write. Another typical stir-together-my-influences-to-produce-a-snyder-original write... cool.

Nice to hear piano-based songs on the forum now and again. Nice production and a good mix.

A typically emotional vocal - one of your super powers... smile

Liked.

Leonard Cohen? Like the vocals. Has a Sunday morning church feeling. Can we all sing Hallejulah? Thank the Lord!! Good write.

Wow, David ... you pulled out all the good tricks to weave this into a great song and presentation. I really enjoyed this more "reserved" but emotional vocal delivery. That piano really cemented the backing tracks. This is one of your very best, as far as I am concerned. Raw emotion with the perfect musical bed to let it flourish. great song!

Wishing you the best ...

Alan

The treatment did a great job making the piano sound real.
The fragility of the vocal delivery sells the story really well.
A little de-essing'd be useful but not essential.
Nice story.


Cheers
