PRAYING FOR SOMETHING BY DAVID SNYDER https://soundcloud.com/david-snyder-gigs3 V1 I am walking down an empty street Where my whole world used to be Is the problem out there somewhere, y’all Or is the problem inside of me Is it something that I said one time Or something I left undone I wish that I could say I’m sorry To every place and everyone CH So I'm praying for something But I do it know its name While I am waiting for the sunrise While I am waiting for the rain I am not ready to surrender To my anger and my pain So I'm praying for something But I do not know it’s name So I'm praying for something But I do not know it’s name V2 Now I’m trapped inside a burning world That used to hold my dreams And I know that all our secret wounds Are deeper than they seem Is it something I allowed one time When I turned the other way I cannot speak my answer though Cause I don’t know what to say CH So I'm praying for something But I do it know its name While I am waiting for the sunrise While I am waiting for the rain I am not ready to surrender To my anger and my pain So I'm praying for something But I do not know it’s name So I am praying for something But I do not know it’s name Bridge: Is it something that I said one time Or something I left undone I wish that I could say I’m sorry To every place and everyone CH So I am praying for something But I do it know its name While I am waiting for the sunrise While I am waiting for the rain I am not ready to surrender To my anger and my pain So I'm praying for something But I do not know it’s name So I'm praying for something But I do not know it’s name Words and Music copyright 2020, David Snyder ASCAP/Day of Faith Records Produced and Engineered by David Snyder RealTracks in style: ~2476:Bass, Acoustic, Held Sw 085 RealTracks in style: 2779:Guitar, Acoustic, Rhythm SongwriterSwingBalladBrent Sw16 065 RT Viola, RT Cello, Piano (held) David Snyder Songwriter/Renaissance Man Studio + Fingers https://davidsnydersongs.com/ https://spoti.fi/359Gigs www.davidsnydermusic.com/ www.reverbnation.com/davidpsnyder www.soundcloud.com/davidsnyderchannel https://www.songtradr.com/user/profile/david.snyder

This may be your best vocal to date. Excellent song. The bumper sticker said "I'm a veterinarian, therefore I can drive like an animal". Suddenly I realized how many proctologists are on the road. 64 bit Win 10 Pro, the latest BiaB/RB, Roland Octa-Capture audio interface, a ton of software/hardware

Brilliant lyrics and the music is the perfect compliment. In addition, probably, if not your best vocal ever. Nicely done sir. You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.com Add nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

"Now I’m trapped inside a burning world That used to hold my dreams And I know that all our secret wounds Are deeper than they seem Is it something I allowed one time When I turned the other way I cannot speak my answer though Cause I don’t know what to say" O.M.G. That would be enough to label this "great". But, then....to follow with this: "I am not ready to surrender To my anger and my pain So I am praying for something But I do not know it’s name" Jaw. Drop. I am SO glad you did this in a true-David-Snyder voice. Your best vocal ever. This is great song writing. I do not say that lightly. I can give you no compliment higher than... I would be proud to have written this. WOW. fj 150+ Songs produced using BIAB RealTracks And 50 more... and some more...

This is such a poignant, thoughtful and emotion provoking song. It reminds me of "The Answer is Blowing in the Wind", only, I say in sincere honesty better. Thanks for posing it.

Bringing in the strings on the second half was really effective. Love the title, and the rest of the lyrics don't disappoint! Nice emoting on the vocal as well. Good song! -- David Cuny My virtual singer development blog Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing? BiaB 2025 \| Windows 11 \| Reaper \| Way too many VSTis.

I like the simple arrangement ... perfect for the piece. Sometimes I just pray because it gives me warmth and comfort ... nothing particular. Just the connection. Again, excellent! loved it!
