THING FOR YOU_David Snyder with Oliver Gannon Well Happy 2022 Everybody. It has been a good year so far. I received a lot of good feedback recently from a large music organization I belong to after sending in 12 tunes, and they said I was “definitely writing, producing and arranging commercial pop.” In that light, I will not worry anymore about whether Real Band works, I will just keep using it, and see what else happens. The old piano playing is coming right along and I think I am making some progress, but it was so swell of Oliver Gannon to play along with me again on this new tune. It’s maybe just syrupy and romantic and full of pop jazz, but hey, it’s who I am. Thing for You By David Snyder https://soundcloud.com/david-snyder-gigs3/thing-for-youV1 There is something I must confess although I've been hiding it But somehow I must tell the truth I can't sleep, I can't think, it would do me no good to drink You see I have a problem and the problem is you CH Cause I've got a thing for you I've got a thing for you What in the world can I do Cause I, I, I, Yes I, I, I, Yes I, I, I have a thing for you Yes I do V2 They say that you're too good for me That I'm out of my league and that some dreams just can't ever come true but if you could be inside of me and see the way I look at you would we slow dance, and romance the way folks used to do Chorus V3 Oh, if you could be inside of me and see the way I look at you could we slow dance and romance the way folks used to do CH All words and music copyright 2022 by David Snyder ASCAP/Day of Faith Records David Snyder: Piano, Vocals, Strings, Arrangement, Production, Mixing and Mastering Gayle Snyder: Daily Inspiration RealTracks in style: ~~2317:Bass, Acoustic, JazzWaltzSlowRonHeld Sw 085 RealTracks in song: 1987:Guitar, Acoustic, Rhythm JazzWaltzFreddie Sw 110 RealTracks in song: 2557:Cello, Background SlowWaltz Sw 085 RealTracks in song: 2294:Sax, Alto, Rhythm SlowPop Ev16 065 (1TrackHornSection) RealDrums [in style:JazzWaltzLewis^03-a:Brushes, Snare , b:Busy Ride, Snare (a piano 2 by BIAB in there somewhere)

David, you are off to an awesome 2022!
Great song! Everything is spot on, as usual. Loved your vocal and the lyrics.

Thanks Dani! That "thing" already happened and we recently celebrated an anniversary, and this is a nod to that.  There is a much longer version of the theme, and maybe I can squeeze a few more songs out of it.

"syrupy and romantic" is a good place to be, David. Yes, your piano playing is really adding a nice touch. Those strings sound perfect, and they mix well with the cello. Great celebration of the thing. Love those lyrics.

Another for the Gannon canon,
The writing & performance of
"Cause I've got a thing for you
I've got a thing for you
What in the world can I do"
Is 100% ACE

Hi David,
it's very honest and very fragile and almost moving towards Tom Waits - it's really impressive.
Was intrigued and my mind was busy processing the song while it went along, and once it was over, I wanted to listen to it again.
Cheers

Nice romantic pop tune, what could be a better and more positive way to start the new year Enjoyed the lush arrangement with cellos and strings, the piano works very well. I'll be waiting for more syrupy tunes based on your daily inspiration. Janne

Simple and to the point. It took a minute to figure out it was a waltz. As with Peter, I was getting a strong Tom Waits vibe, which is always a good thing. Good song - syrupy works for me!

Mr. Snyder... A Love Song with Heart. Nice production. Nice mix. Piano is coming along nicely... A cool, passionate vocal. (I did have a moment with an odd image of a Hannibal Lecter style "David Snyder suit" to "put on" when you were singing... "but if you could be inside of me and see the way I look at you" ...so that had my attention for a moment or two... but...hey....) fj

202 New RealTracks Released with Band-in-a-Box 2026!
With Band-in-a-Box® 2026, we've released 202 incredible new RealTracks (in sets 468-488) in a variety of genres—featuring your most requested styles!
Jazz, Funk & World (Sets 468-475):
Our new jazz, funk & blues RealTracks include a groovin’ collection of RealTracks and RealDrums! These include more requested “soul jazz” RealTracks featuring artists Neil Swainson (bass), Charles Treadway (organ), Brent Mason (guitar), and Wes Little (drums). There are new “smooth jazz” styles (4), which include a RealTracks first: muted trumpet, as well as slick new smooth jazz brushes options for drums. Blues lovers will be thrilled—there are more “classic acoustic blues” styles, including guitar (5), bass (4), and drums (10) with blues master Colin Linden, featuring understated and tasty background acoustic soloing, plus brushes drums and acoustic bass. There are also new electric blues RealTracks, including electric blues with PG favorite Johnny Hiland (3) and soulful electric slide guitar from Colin Linden (4). If you love funk & gospel, there are great new options this year, including gospel organ (3) from Charles Treadway, as well as new funk, tango, and rock ’n’ roll drums (3) and bass (1). And for big, bold arrangements, we have uptempo soul horns (4) featuring a three-part hip horn section with options for a full mix or stems of each individual horn — plus an accompanying rhythm section (4) of drums, bass, guitar, and electric piano!
Rock & Pop (Sets 476–482):
Our new rock & pop RealTracks bring a powerful mix of requested favorites, fresh genres, and modern chart-inspired styles! We have more of our popular “Producer Layered Acoustic Guitars (15)” featuring Band-in-a-Box favorite Brent Mason. We’ve continued our much-requested disco styles (10), and added new Celtic guitar (5) with a more basic, accessible approach than our previous Drop-D or DADGAD offerings. There are also highly requested yacht rock styles (17), inspired by the smooth, polished soft-rock sound of the late ’70s and early ’80s — laid-back grooves, silky electric pianos, warm textures, elegant harmonic movement, and pristine production aesthetics. Fans of heavier styles will love our new glam metal (13), capturing the flashy, high-energy sound of ’80s arena-ready guitar rock. We also have a set of rootsy modern-folk rock (18), with a warm, organic sound combining contemporary folk textures and driving acoustic strumming. And we’ve added lots of new modern pop styles (16) — the kinds of sounds you’re hearing on the radio today, featuring exciting new drums, synths, and cutting-edge RealTracks arrangements.
Country, & Americana (Sets 483–488):
Our new country & Americana RealTracks deliver a rich collection of acoustic, electric, and roots-inspired styles! We have new country pop (9) with legendary guitarist Brent Mason. There is also a potpourri (14) of bouzouki, guitars, banjo, and more, perfect for adding texture and character to contemporary acoustic arrangements. We’ve added funky country guitar (5) with PG favorite Brent Mason, along with classic pedal steel styles (5) featuring steel great Doug Jernigan. There are more country songwriter styles (8) that provide intimate, rootsy foundations for storytelling and modern Americana writing. Finally, we have “background soloing” acoustic guitar (12) with Brent Mason — simpler, but still very tasty acoustic lines designed to sit beautifully behind vocals or act as a subtle standalone solo part.
Check out all the 202 new RealTracks (in sets 468-488)!
And, if you are looking for more, the 2026 49-PAK (for $49) includes an impressive collection of 20 bonus RealTracks, featuring exciting and inspiring additions to add to your RealTracks library. You'll get new country-rhythm guitar styles from PG Music favorites Johnny Hiland and Brent Mason, along with modern-pop grooves that capture today’s radio-ready sound! There are also new indie-folk styles with guitar, bass, 6-string bass used as a high-chording instrument, acoustic guitar, and banjo. Plus, dedicated "cymbal fills" RealDrums provide an added layer that work very well with low-key folky styles with other percussion.
