Now THAT's what I'm talking about! Brilliant. Made me smile and made me groove. Some serious virtuoso stuff in there, both voice and arrangement.

makes me wanna drag out the old Talking Heads records(they're all scratched)
best vocal ever, I've been a fan for a few years now
and you never disappoint
if I ate a cup of sugar I don't think I could achieve these heights
I admire your creativity and inspired songs
this is great entertainment and that's what we should all strive for
enjoyed it man

What made you create this song?
The longing for a kiss?
Love hearing how you got out of your head for it.
And very nice composition and recording.
Cheers,
Hans
(no kiss...)

I could be wrong, but I think you are saying... it's all about the kiss???  You knocked this one outta de park, son. Cool tracks (nice guitar!). Cool drums/loops. Good mix. Awesome vocal. As Kenny mentioned - a definite Talking Heads flavor. Loved it. fj

That's a really entertaining - fun thing.
That guitar off to the side is very THEads - cool.
Good choices all around.
My only nit would be the final syllable on each of the 1st three lines is a head slicer. That could be tamed with a little volume automation.
Cheers

We haven't a clue what Bollywood is and have never listened to the Talking Heads but we know creativity and great use of BiaB when we here it.
"David Snyder, Vocals, Guitars, Production, Arrangement, Engineering" Yeah, all that stuff is cool and well done.
Keep on amazin'!

Wow - what a tune! Incredibly unique and it really hits hard. Reminds me of something Talking Heads would come out. A really refreshing sound and an interesting combination of influences. I'd have never thought scatting, bollywood drums and your Dylan-esque voice would work together so amazingly well! Thanks for sharing
Cheers,
Deryk

David, I can see colorful Indian dancers waving skirts and doing some very synchronous dancing Man, this was fun listen! I would call it "Bombay Bluez". I like music that has unpredictable style fusion. This was done very nicely in all respects. Thank you for sharing! Misha.

Hi David,
The minute I read that you invited Bollywood along for this production, I zoomed on over to Soundcloud faster than that bullet that Superman raced against.
This is really, really good stuff!!! I LOVE that chorus... especially the line about "If you want to stay on top of her list, put it on her lips"... fantastic lyrics!
There's no doubt about it, you've become a songwriting force to be reckoned with!
In a nutshell.... WOW!!!!!
All the best,
Noel
