David and Rachel Radio 2.01.23: New Release_WHEN IT RAINS
"They Don't Want Nothing But the Hits, so that's all we're writing." TM Hey Y'all, Here is the latest offering from Rachel and David. We are recording her singing on a bold new tune tomorrow, so that should be ready for next week. As is our new custom, links to our recently released stuff will be in our weekly updates just for convenience and to eliminate the clutter.  This week’s offering is WHEN IT RAINS. Rachel and I have settled into a really fun rhythm of pure collaboration in terms of idea creation, lyric contribution, song creation, and on the fly modifications. It is a blast. We are having a lot of fun. https://soundcloud.com/rachelanddavidworktapes/when-it-rainsWHEN IT RAINS By Rachel Cintula and David Snyder V1 Your friends all shine like neon lights, Out late nights, they don’t seem that bright Compared to the lightning we were making and that’s the home you’re now forsaking But honey I tried to tell you, they’ll eat you alive and leave you I know because I’ve seen, this world you chose to love is mean CH And I gave you all I had to give Even freedom from the life we lived I sheltered you from life’s stormy weather But now that you are free, Don’t come crying to me, About your lovers and your pain And how you wish we hadn’t changed Yeah don’t come crying to me When it rains When it rains When it rains V2 You want to be out seeing the sites, Big invites, climbing to new heights But I’m no longer waiting, can’t force your clouded heart into staying CH Cause I gave you all I had to give Even freedom from the life we lived And I sheltered you from life’s stormy weather Now that you are free, Don’t come crying to me, About your lovers and your pain And how you wish we hadn’t changed Yeah don’t come crying to me When it rains BR I’m not going to live with vengeance Over your washed out heart I’m going to take a stand against it So get used to your new start CH Cause I gave you all I had to give Even freedom from the life we lived And I sheltered you from life’s stormy weather So now that you are free, Don’t come crying to me, About your lovers and your pain How you wished we hadn’t changed No don’t come crying to me When it rains When it rains All music and lyrics copyright 2023 by Rachel Cintula and David Snyder David Snyder: Vocals, arrangement, instrumentation, mixing and mastering Other links for the week and month: https://soundcloud.com/rachelanddavidworktapes/thick-thighshttps://soundcloud.com/rachelanddavidworktapes/church-girlshttps://soundcloud.com/david-snyder-gigs3/one-more-whiskey-songhttps://soundcloud.com/david-snyder-gigs3/dirty-hands-clean-moneyhttps://soundcloud.com/david-snyder-gigs3/dire-straitshttps://soundcloud.com/rachelanddavidworktapes/creek-dayhttps://soundcloud.com/david-snyder-gigs3/make-me-love-againReal Tracks for When it Rains RealTracks in style: 4020:Bass, Electric, ModernCountry16ths Ev16 075 RealTracks in style: 2692:Organ, Rhythm ModernPopSlowMike Ev 075 RealTracks in song: 3948:Guitar, Electric, BackgroundRhythm FusionSw16Brent Sw16 075 RealTracks in song: ~1118:Guitar, 12-String Acoustic, Strumming Ev 085

Rachel and David, you have another winner in this one.
Great lyrics. I heard a touch of Dylan in these lines
"Don’t come crying to me,
About your lovers and your pain
How you wished we hadn’t changed
No don’t come crying to me
When it rains". Loved that chorus!
Super vocal and mix.
You two are fantastic together. You collaborate on great lyrics and music plus you both are great singers. I am green with envy!

Great writing in this David. You've got some masterful lines in there. The sound seems off to me in the production though. I don't know how to explain it, but I've listened to it in headphones and speakers, twice each and it keeps happening. The volume keeps varying in waves or pulsating somehow. Maybe something isn't right in my download?

Excellent write and performance!
You two work well together, and there is nothing better than finding a like minded individual to collaborate with in my book, it's what makes it fun.
Looking forward to hearing your new one with Rachel doing the vocal.
Nice!

Nice one. This has the feel of 1960's Bob Dylan in several different aspects.
You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd 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.

This is superb in every way. Not much else to say, except CONGRATULATIONS to the both of you. I agree with everyone who said there are shades of Dylan here. You are an authentic musician, David, and it shows in every note you sing. And, in Rachel, it seems you've found a truly worthy collaborator. Bravi, the both of you - truly and fully deserved.

This is pretty cool stuff you and Rachel put out.
Good song, good lyrics, good vocal performance... there's nothing to complain about.
As for the mix, the "wandering" organ drives me nuts. I'd try to find a similar organ, but without the Leslie, because the organ itself works pretty well for the song.

Rain - cool collab...a lot of Dylan references in the delivery of course.
Good narrative too.
How will you keep the edit option alive on the OP of this thread? That will determine the success of the fresh page on the same page concept.
Cheers

Thanks Brad, Yes it is the B-3. I didn't really notice it until you pointed it out. Oh well. It is great to learn about this stuff with the drafts so you can fix before the release. Thanks! What is the forum for anyway, right??
