Really enjoying BIAB 2019! I used some Bollywood tracks for this, 'cause I just wanted to have a little fun.

All About the Kiss

By David Snyder

Intro:

Well it seems the world
Has lost its way
And there’s only one thing I can say
We must go back to yesterday
So as I walk down Abbey Road
There’s only one thing that I know
I have to sing it, because I know it’s so
Oh yeah

Shibidy boo da de bop bop de wa wa
Shibidy boo da de bop bop de wa wa

V1

It’s not about the money
and it’s not about the fame
cause that will never put you
at the top of her game
So when you’re sitting watching movies
like A Star is Born
Don’t forget she needs attention,
now you know that you’ve been warned

CH

It’s all about the kiss
Oh yeah, it’s all about the kiss
If you want to stay on the top of her list
Put it on those lips, it’s all about the kiss
It’s all about the kiss

V2

I sing it every day
I sing it every night
It’s not about standing your ground
It’s not about standing in the light
It’s about the love that you give her
And she can never get enough
So I’ll sing once again y’all
You better learn this stuff

CH

It’s all about the kiss
Oh yeah, it’s all about the kiss
If you want to stay on the top of her list
Put it on those lips, it’s all about the kiss
It’s all about the kiss

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

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

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.

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 smile

David,
I can see colorful Indian dancers waving skirts and doing some very synchronous dancing smile

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

Band-in-a-Box 2026 Video: AI Stems & Notes - split polyphonic audio into instruments and transcribe

This video demonstrates how to use the new AI-Notes feature together with the AI-Stems splitter, allowing you to select an audio file and have it separated into individual stems while transcribing each one to its own MIDI track. AI-Notes converts polyphonic audio—either full mixes or individual instruments—into MIDI that you can view in notation or play back instantly.
