Another tune with my new lyricist and songwriting partner Rachel Cintula, who recently joined my Nashville Songwriters group.

I had a title and chorus only and sent it to her. She sent back the rest of it about five minutes later and asked me if that is what I was looking for. Not kidding. She has also added about 50 songs to our dropbox. Going to be a busy year. Her lyrics took me to a place I had not expected with the music. Love the New BIAB country stuff.

CHURCH GIRLS
By Rachel Cintula and David Snyder

V1

My buddy’s been chasing girls all around
Getting his heart caught up in every bar in town
But when the fun dries up he gets let down
I said son,
You need to find you one with the Holy Ghost
So find you a girl who’s heaven bound
Fill a pew and listen for that heavenly sound
Ah, church girls love having a sinner around
So go ahead and let her save your soul

CH

And I love church girls
It’s amazing how they walk
I love church girls
Cause they giggle when they talk
And I love church girls
You know I do
Oh, God you know it’s true
I love church girls
Yeah, I love church girls

V2

Cause she knows her Lord wore thorns for a crown
Her eyes on the cross, her feet on the ground
With a kind of love that always abounds
A church girl can make your life whole
So find you a girl who’s heaven bound
Fill a pew and listen for that heavenly sound
Ah, church girls love having a sinner around
So go ahead and let her save your soul

CH

Oh I love church girls
It’s amazing how they walk
And I love church girls
Cause they giggle when they talk
And I love church girls
You know I do
Oh, God you know it’s true
I love church girls
I love church girls

BR

And the preacher said Hell can’t get any hotter
I said I don’t know preach
I just met your daughter

CH

And I love church girls
It’s amazing how they walk
I love church girls
They giggle when they talk
And I love church girls
You know I do
Oh, God you know it’s true
I love church girls
I love church girls
I love church girls

David - good song! You need to hold on to the co-writer. I liked the melody and production, but the writing really stood out, "Cause she knows her Lord wore thorns for a crown Her eyes on the cross, her feet on the ground With a kind of love that always abounds A church girl can make your life whole So find you a girl who’s heaven bound" - fantastic. And true. I found one and I know for sure. Really good stuff!

Brad

David

A good catchy chorus. Nice band and well constructed and written song.

Good stuff.

Peter

Hot subject, really hot Very very very catchy chorus, one I would like to sing aloud, but I think it's better just to hum it "I just met your daughter" funny well chosen line. The band works nicely and the mix is good. The only thing that's missing is the church girl choir to complete the heavenly sound.

Janne

Hey David...I love church girls too...the two women in my life (my wife and daughter) are church girls...catchy lyrics and melody...sounds like you and Rachel have formed a formidable team...keep it up...we love listening!

David.

great song idea...unique. a hoot.

when i was young ...me n' me mates used to chase church girls..(or was it the other way round on occasion...lol.)

good times when i sang in a church choir ages ago.

loved it..and lyrics.

happiness.

om

Hahahahaha!

   Ah, church girls love having a sinner around
   So go ahead and let her save your soul

Cool lyric.

Love it.

Good song with great lyrics and a catchy chorus, I like it.

The drums are a bit too busy for my taste, but the song itself is pretty good.

Man, you and Rachael work so well together. Are you guys doing your song-a-day thing next month? Nice to hear you sing of church girls in a better light than Billy Joel did. Man, you have a terrific selection of instruments to make this good song even better. Excellent melody and changes to bring it to an even higher level. You found yourself a real gem there, David, and I'm REALLY looking forward to be one of the reapers of that benefit. I didn't hear the choir until the last sustain --there was that much goodness going on.

"And the preacher said
Hell can’t get any hotter
I said I don’t know preach
I just met your daughter"

HA!

Good one.
Good BAND.
Your usual emotive vocals!

More.

fj

Good work both of you. I enjoyed my listen.

The band sounds good.The chord progression went to a couple of unexpected places, but that's a good thing when it works. And this does. Good lyrics. I think this partnership looks promising. Nice work to you both, Tom

More like this, whadda-ya-say, Dave & Rachel ?

Your collaborator has edged you even closer to the lyrical danger zone: blurring the fine lines works for you musically too.
Good work.

Thanks Brad,

Yeah Rachel and I are having fun and she is writing up a storm.



Glad you liked it!

Thanks Peter!

Thanks Janne!

Ah, go ahead and sing it loud.

It might save your soul man!

Thanks Dan,

I am so glad you liked it!

Yeah Church girls are the best aren't they??

Thanks so much Muso!

I am glad you liked it!

Well, I can't tell you on here what a drummer in one of my bands said about a "church girl", a preacher's daughter that he knew.... well, one civil word.... "hot".....her daddy would not have approved..... this is a family friendly forum.

Nice job.

Thanks David!!

I live to make you laugh man!

Thanks B D.

Thanks Marty,

We have something else coming real soon.

Make sure you are sitting down is all I can say.

Thanks Floyd old buddy.

Prepare yourself for the next one.

I mean it bro.

Get ready.



Rachel is singing and you just better be ready.

It's all I can say.

Thank you everyone for your kind words regarding the collaborations David and I have been sharing.

I am very grateful he returned my email and we began this journey!

As David has mentioned in previous responses, I am singing the vocals on the next song. My first time singing demo vocals! Exciting and a tinge scary.

Again, thank you all for your kind words on the three songs we have shared thus far.

Hey Rachel,

So nice to see your happy, shining face! Long time no talk ha ha!



Welcome to the forum! We are so happy you are here!!!! It is going to be one epic year!

Tomorrow will be a Twitter meltdown day I am guessing.

People get ready is all I can say.

Thanks Rob!

Tommy!

Nice to see ya!

Thank for the listen man!

You it Ed.

Tomorrow will get a little spicey so hang on.

Ray,

We plan to skate much closer to the edge than you ever imagined my friend.

And then....

We're going to cross it.

David/Rachel

Catchy tune with memorable lyrics and melody! You all definitely cranking out a lot music! Great job assembled band here! You always do that!

Thanks, T

Hallelujah brother!

“And the preacher said Hell can’t get any hotter
I said I don’t know preach
I just met your daughter”

Just when we were thinking P&W along came the bridge.

You seem to have met a lyricist with the same sense of humor and we all get to benefit from that, David.

Good country band and lively vocals to go along with the fine lyric.
Good one!

J&B

David and Rachel,

So my second “D&R” track listen . . . and it only confirms you two have something good going on. Love the lyrics here and the vocal captures and delivers the vibe of the song. Good work on the production elements as well . . . can see where B.D. thinks the drums might be a bit busy (maybe), but that’s a matter of artistic choice. Excellent as is!

My best to you both,

Deej

David and Rachel, you two make a great team.
I got a chuckle out of some of those lyrics.

I really liked this song!

Hi Rachel
Welcome to the forum
Wish you much fun here
Many greetings
Andi ;-)

Thanks Herb!!

Man, if I have said thanks twice forgive me. Threaded mode says I am not logged in when I am and is driving me a little cray cray.



I can't keep it all straight.

I love the lyrics, Verse and chorus, and that bridge is great. Rachel's verses complement your chorus.
