WHAT’S GOING ON
BY DAVID SNYDER

V1

SOMEBODY GOTTA TELL ME

WHO’S THE PEOPLE MAKING EVERYTHING GO WRONG
SOMEBODY GOTTA TELL ME
SOMEBODY GOTTA TELL ME WHAT'S GOING ON

CH:

AND IT’S TIME FOR JESUS
IT’S TIME FOR JESUS TO COME BACK HOME
OH YES IT IS NOW
CAUSE I NEED SOMEBODY
SOMEBODY TO TELL ME WHAT'S GOING ON
WHERE’S THE SECOND COMING
THIS MESS BEEN GOING ON TOO LONG

V2

AND A TRUMP WON’T TELL ME
AND A POPE WON’T TELL ME
AND T.V. WON’T TELL ME
AND IT’S BEEN GOING ON TOO LONG
GOOD GOD ALMIGHTY
SOMEBODY GOT TO TELL ME WHAT’S GOING ON

CH

V3

KANYE WEST WON’T TELL ME
AND HIS WIFE WON’T TELL ME
AND THE FED WON’T TELL ME
AND THE REST WON’T TELL ME
AIN’T NOBODY WILL TELL ME
NOBODY WILL SAY WHAT’S GOING ON

AND'S TIME FOR JESUS TO
COME BACK HOME

This is the David Snyder we have sorely been missing! Great tune David! I love your no holds barred approach to music creation! Your vocal (which is fantastic) had to take a toll on you physically. Great backtrack!! Thanks for stoking the fire again! Torrey

David,

Jesus called. Says he can't come. That social distancing thing and all, he's staying isolated. But he did say to let you know he loves your new song!

Funky. Fun. Well put together. Well mixed. A brutally good vocal.

Good music, a good listen.

I'm afraid that knowing what's going on is above your pay grade. Sorry.
(but don't feel bad...none of those people in your list know either..)

David, have I inspired you with my song 'New times, New rules' hoping for a serious hoarse throat AFTER singing a song like that? It must be. When I listened to your oustanding Funksong I'm sure you had to take 2 gallons of tea with ginger afterwards to ease your vocal cords. Or something similair...
But I still don't know what you were hoping to hear what's going on. We're just living in a grazy world for some months now, that's all!
Very well done, David!

David,
one can interpret your posting header as:
"Whats going on, David Snyder?"
So, a picture comes to my mind. ~3rd grade , little David is sitting in a classroom, looking in the window, and teacher asks: Whats going on, David Snyder? David stands from his desk and starts singing this tune (keeping all the vocal raspiness of a grown-up man)...

David, excellent production and vocals! Hot funky stuff!
Thank you for sharing.

Misha.

Fun!

Thanks Floyd.

Jesus just told me he is on his way to your house right now.

He did not seemed pleased. You may want to tidy up a bit.

The David Snyder void is now history ... and that's a goof thing!

Super cool ... lyric, vocal, arrangement, production, message ... and all that other stuff that makes a recording extra special cool. We needed that Snyder Infusion ... thanks for the delivery! This cooks and talks!

Best to you and yours. Be safe ...
