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!
Life is short so make sure you spend as much time as possible on the Internet arguing with strangers.

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).
;-)

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 ...

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.

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.
