Well, not so long ago, Floyd pointed out that Addictive Keys had a free Fender Rhodes simulation, and I had just had to. Once I started playing, it was "Lawd Have Mercy."

And this happened.

River of Love
By David Snyder

V1

Grab your lotion baby
And you better get ready
Cause my love is rising
To the water line
You know my middle name
Is Ready Freddy
And I’m a telling you girl it’s about that time

Pre Chorus

Just like Elvis, Carol King and Aretha
I‘ll be rockin’
Above and beneath ya

CH:

Cause we’re going down
To the River of Love
Yeah we’re goin’ down
And I can’t get enough, Aw naw

V2

Grab your blanket honey
Cause it’s gonna get crazy
Some little devil told me
It’s time to rise and shine
If you bring the biscuits
I’ll bring the gravy
We’re gonna jump in that river, turn that water to wine

Pre Chorus

Just like Elvis, Carol King and Aretha
I‘ll be rockin’
Above and beneath ya

CH:

Cause we’re going down
To the River of Love
Yeah we’re goin’ down
And I can’t get enough, Aw naw

Inst.

Pre Chorus, Chorus, Tag

Cause we’re going down
To the River of Love
Yeah we’re goin’ down
And I can’t get enough, Aw naw

Kenny

David,

So cool! Love the song and the use of the Rhodes simulation. Really great stuff...

Bob

HAHAHAHA! Great description. How long did it take for the studio to cool down?

I grabbed one of those sims also (upright) . Love the Rhodes. I was around a LOT of them in the '60's.

Cool production and great way to showcase the new sim.

J&B

Very cool tune David. Very interesting lyrics. Excellent vocal and backtrack. Well done

Nice, I will check out that plug-in. This song however is very cool!

Rob

David
Nice one. Catchy chorus (got that "going down..." going round in my head).

Peter

David,

I'm with floyd. The lines...

"Just like Elvis, Carol King and Aretha
I‘ll be rockin’
Above and beneath ya"

...grabbed my attention too. Very creative rhyming.

I have to hand it to you, your music inventions are always entertaining!

Regards,
Noel

Hello, David

I also agree with floyd.
"Just like Elvis, Carol King and Aretha
I‘ll be rockin’
Above and beneath ya"
I think, plus Beatles.
It is the first time that I heard the Fender Rhodes simulation by Addictive Keys.
Very nice!
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

Hi David - great song - very full sound you've got on there and nicely mixed. Nice laid back feel.

Cheers.
Mike.

hey David,

Gritty, strong and head-bobbin'!
Totally loved ... both of us. Great selection of BIAB backing tracks and your adds were perfect! A little more drums (actually ... quite a bit more) would push this even higher in "likeabilty" charts, and it's already pretty danged high!

Super stuff! Wishing you everything good,

Alan & Di

Thanks Buddy! Okay, okay I will turn up the drums!! I got it!!

Loud!! More louder!!!

Ha ha ha.

Thanks Kenny. That was good!!

Glad you liked it guys! Hope it wasn't too Nasty!!

Thanks Bob! Glad you liked it!!!

Thank you Scott!

Rob and Anne-Marie, Thanks you two! I am glad you liked it!

Thank you Peter. I hope it doesn't make you dizzy.

Thanks Noel! I am really glad you liked it!

Thanks Shigeki!

I can always leave it to you to "decode" the song!

I am really glad you liked it. You are such a font of musical knowledge too!!

Thanks Mike! I am glad you liked it!

Thanks Al and Di! I will push those drums up!!

Hi, David !


Really liked this
little tune of your´s
like a river of love !!!

Cheers
Dani

Just like Elvis, Carol King and Aretha
I‘ll be rockin’
