ENCHANTED BY ME: An Ode to Taylor Swift So this past weekend, I went and saw the Taylor Swift movie with a notepad in my hand and this is what happened inside my head while I was there in the theater. It is about my last break up, which was before I got married you know, but anyway, my BFF will understand and so will Taylor, who if she listens to my song will be my bestie and BFF forever!! (Is that redundant??) P.S. I have to add that if you want to join my new fan club of screaming teenagers and their parents they are now calling themselves "Snydies." Enchanted by Meby David Snyder https://soundcloud.com/david-snyder-gigs4/enchanted-by-meEnchanted By Me By David Snyder V1 My favorite room in your apartment Is the room where the toilet is Cause there’s a shiny mirror in there Where I can blow myself a kiss It's the place where I run to see my gorgeous reflection And the only thing you're going to get tonight Is some brutal rejection Gonna be like a song by Taylor Swift Starts off in G then a B minor riff This breakup will smear your makeup And it will hit you like a fist Cause… CH I was enchanted by me But you were only enchanted by you You are such a fool Not to see or believe Why I am leaving you Cause I am enchanted by me And you are only enchanted by you V2 And if I had to pick the smartest person in the room It wouldn't be you It's just the two of us, and I'm the only one left So that means you gotta get a clue And when I write you a song I'll remember to say That I hate the way you kiss! Cause… CH I was enchanted by me But you were only enchanted by you You are such a fool Not to see or believe Why I am leaving you Cause I am enchanted by me And you are only enchanted by you Bridge And here comes the bridge Where I'll sing it like Taylor… I hate to write this letter But you know that it's true The moment that we met Is the moment I knew I could always do so much Better than you CH I was enchanted by me But you were only enchanted by you You are such a fool Not to see or believe Why I am leaving you Cause I am enchanted by me And you are only enchanted by you Words and Music copyright 2023 by David Snyder David Snyder: Vocals, Production, Arrangement, Mixing and Mastering RealTracks in style: 3588:Bass, Electric, NashvilleRadioPopPushA Ev 110 RealTracks in style: 1535:Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm PopPowerPushA-B Ev 120 RealTracks in style: 2935:Guitar, Acoustic, Rhythm FolkPulse8thsFintan Ev 110 RealTracks in song: 3949:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm FusionBalladBrent Ev16 080 RealTracks in style: 1948:Mandolin, Rhythm PopUpliftingAndy Ev16 120 RealTracks in style: 3020:Vocal Aahs, Background Pop3-part Ev 085 RealTracks in song: 4159:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm ModCountryPopHighSteady8ths Ev 090 RealDrums in style:PraiseWorshipPowerPush-5-S24,PHt [Multi]

David,
"Cause there’s a shiny mirror in there
Where I can blow myself a kiss
It's the place where I run to see my gorgeous reflection"
This pretty much encapsulates this current self-absorbed generation and this great tune you have shared makes me realize how ancient I am!
You constantly amaze me with your wonderful creativity!
Take care, TB

Take care, TB I totally agree with Torrey! Great song David. I laughed when you sang "here comes the bridge" - brilliant. You certainly didn't drop the football on this one  I really liked this one!

Genious! I'm enchanted by this pop magnet. Only D. Snyder can start a song with lines "My favorite room in your apartment/Is the room where the toilet is" and make it work to the end. Funny, catchy, touching. If Santa is listening now, I wish that this would be the Christmas Number One.

Truly an inspired send up, and a great tune! Loved everything about it, but above everything else, I loved the contemplative profile pic on the SoundCloud page. Just too, TOO sublime. Ha!

Hi, David. You really know how to write a song that tugs at the heartstrings! Gonna be like a song by Taylor Swift
Starts off in G then a B minor riffThat's a stellar rhyme! Fun song, I enjoyed the snark!

Ooo, I read this post on my phone yesterday and couldn't wait to get in here to give it a proper listen. Our granddaughter Charley could be her teleprompter.
"Cause I am enchanted by me
And you are only enchanted by you" --seems to be a mirror song. You know, one of those psyche events where one sees all the wrong in others instead of themselves.
Man, I can just see you sitting in the theater with your notebook. Had to listen a couple times to shake that vision of screaming teens and tweens bopping around.
Can't wait to hear the Taylor's Version.

Okay, the critic is raving. Just took Charley to school and played it for her. She loved the idea for the song, and she thought your lyrics were funny. She said she loves it, but immediately put on Swifty's version of Enchanted.

David,
You are one of the most creative and interesting people on the forum. None of us know what to expect when we click on one of your songs - but we know it will be dang good. Mr. Creativity strikes again! For a moment, I was thinking I'd love to see what goes on in that brain of yours. Then reality struck and told me it would probably scare the hell out of me. So now, I just wonder what's going on inside my brain. Bad move - scary as hell, too!
Alan

I'm enchanted.
By you.
By Taylor.
By me.
An enchanting group, the 3 of us.
An enchanting song.
Even with the word "toilet".
An enchanting vocal.
Especially when you sang just like Taylor.
(she went to the same schools - junior high and high school - my son did, a couple of years after. If I had only known.....)
You ain't right.
Which makes us....fortunate.

I agree with all that has been mentioned. And yes, your creativity is limitless (so is your inspiration!).
However, to completely fit the bill it needs just more (minor) thing. A video on TikTok with you dancing in the room (or going to the toilet maybe).
;-)

I am almost as enchanted by you as I am enchanted by me!

Dear DC,
Thank you so much! I just love the way that you are so much in love with my song and so enchanted by me!
No seriously, I just love the way that your entire life revolves around me and my David Snyder Epoch tour! I really do! Your enchantment of me is what feeds me and pushes me on to even greater heights in being enchanted by myself which keeps me growing!!
When I think of your enchantment and all of the enchantment that you have for me it makes me even more enchanted, and so I'm going to send you a free packet of my DS monogrammed tighty whities for Christmas so I'm going to need your address!!

fj Hey Floyd, A good friend of mine went to school with Madonna up in Rochester Hills, Michigan. Knew her pretty well. Is that worth any bonus points? Probably not. Oh well ...
