Well, here is another thoughtless song.

Have no idea how these things pop into my head. Not like I have had any bad country redneck experiences in the dating world or anything.

Anyway, I am playing the "Keith Richards" style herky jerky electric that comes in on CH 1. I don't know what you call this style but it is sort of deep in the pocket but out of the pocket at the same time. Keith has tried to explain that it is the heart of rock and roll, yet he can't articulate how it works, and neither can I.

Best Damned Breakup Song

https://soundcloud.com/david-snyder-gigs4/best-damned-breakup-song

by David Snyder

V1

I want to thank you
for all the times you passed out
in my yard
and threw up on my truck
I want thank you for everything you did
that made my life so hard
and being the queen of bad luck
and when you slept with my friend
you helped me see the end
it was the only thing you did right
cause you finally made me go to church
where I got down on my knees
and begged Jesus
to help me see the light

CH

And now
I see you did nothing
you did nothing wrong
cause I found a girl who's nothing like you
she's sweet, and pretty and strong
She drinks apple juice, and runs a yoga group
and I'm right where I belong
But the best thing is the new gold record you gave me
and girl you know it's dedicated to you
and I hope one day you'll sing along
yeah I hope one day you’ll sing along
and I call it
yeah I call it
My best damned breakup song

V2

I want to thank you
for all the times you lied
right into my eyes
and ripped a hole right through my heart
I want to thank you for everything you stole
that made me fall apart
but that Grammy, girl, is gonna heal my broken heart

Bridge

And I got sick with you
But I know that I can beat it
and when I cross that bridge you know
I must repeat it

CH

Oh, cause now I know that you did nothing
you did nothing wrong
Cause I found a girl who's nothing like you
she's sweet, and pretty and strong
She drinks apple juice, and runs a yoga group
and I'm right where I belong
But the best thing is the new gold record you gave me
and girl I know it's dedicated to you
and I hope one day you'll sing along
yeah I hope one day you’ll sing along
and I call it
yeah I call it
My best damned breakup song
And it’s written just for you

Channeling Dylan again? This reminded me of Like A Rolling Stone in more than a few places.

The mix sounds good. Same with your vocals.

I liked this

Wow, that's a lot of action packed into three minutes! My favorite guitar lesson by Keith starts "Five strings, three notes, two fingers and one...." Quite a nice guitar tribute on your part, and a sweetly clever song. Nicely played.

David,

Yep - have to agree with the Dylan references. Not too shabby, huh?

Does it really matter where the inspiration comes from, as long as it keeps coming? Your inspired creativity always keeps me smiling and wanting more. Yep - cool song!

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Really enjoy listening to Keith try to explain the ethereal magic that is music. Still, I much prefer hearing you sing about it, David. Apropriately titled and those lyrics --where do they come from? Always enjoy the fun ingredients you add to your song recipes. Very tasty.


Enjoy whatever happens!

"Have no idea how these things pop into my head", I don't care how the pop into your head David I just want them to keep popping!
A 60s Dylan genre song that is perfect in every way.
Loved it!

Thanks Soren.

Yes, I guess I just can't seem to get those early Dylan influences out of my bloodstream no matter how hard I try.

Oh well. If I have to be compared to Dylan I guess I'll just have to take it!!!

I agree with GuitarHacker, this has echoes of Dylan.

But man, you are one nonlinear, creative songmaster laugh
There's nothin' plain vanilla or cookie-cutter about you.
Another out-of-the-box song I enjoyed.

For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.

David,

I knew before hitting play that there was going to be a truck in here as well as Jesus and a church! I also knew you were going to make it all fresh and new!
Nobody can do a Dylan doing Country like you! Your creative mind amazes me! I wish I could just come up with new stuff like you do! I have to think for weeks usually to come up with something! You are a treasure to this forum!

Take care, TB

Great idea with great lyrics -> great song.
But I expected a song like Marx "How Can I Miss You if You Won't Go Away" that makes HER leave you smile

Hilarious, lives up to the title, the best and the meanest. From Church Girls to Apple Juice drinkers, no-one can express this better than Mr. Snyder, irony to the max: "But the best thing is the new gold record you gave me/and girl you know it's dedicated to you/and I hope one day you'll sing along"

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
