Details Below Lyrics. https://soundcloud.com/david-snyder-gigs/secret-town Secret Town By David Snyder V1 I hear the rain coming down in your secret town I see the writing on the wall In your secret town I can almost see it all In your secret town I think the night’s about to fall In your secret town Here comes the young girl Looking for a lover Who’ll discover everything Here comes the highway Just like a tinderbox To make your mind go up in flames CH A minor miracle The grace to make a choice In these secret games A minor miracle The grace to make a choice V2 Here comes the dark horse Painted like the white horse In your secret town Here comes the stardust competing with the dirt and rust In your secret town Here comes the rebel He thinks he’s only human He’d give his heart to anything Just tender mercies These loves among the ruins Don’t you think I feel the same CH A minor circumstance The chance to place a bet On these secret games A minor miracle The chance to place a bet On your secret name Outro Do you want me to spell it out for you Do you want me to spell it put for you I love your secret town, I love your secret town I want to walk with you, hand in hand in hand in hand In your Secret Town All music and lyrics copyright David Snyder/Day of Faith Publishing (ASCAP) **** Song Summary *********** Title: Secret Town Key=C , Tempo 142, Length (m:s)=4:21 Style is _TAKEOFF.STY (Takeoff Alternative Pop Rock) David Snyder, Telecasters, Acoustic, Lead and Backing Vocals RealTracks in style: 1522:Bass, Electric, PopPower8s Ev 120 Loop in Song: House-Techno-Trance\House - crunchy_120_drums ev16.wav RealTracks in style: 1524:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm PopPowerPushClean Ev 120 RealTracks in style: 1527:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm PopPowerBrightClean Ev 120 RealTracks in song: 1263:Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm PopShiningSync Ev 120 RealTracks in style: 691:Guitar, Acoustic, Strumming AcRockBright Ev 120 RealDrums in style: BluesRockEv^1-a:Snare, HiHat , b:Snare, Open HiHat _________________________ David Snyder Audiophile Everything + Studio + Instruments + Fingers ASCAP, NSAI www.davidsnydermusic.com www.reverbnation.com/davidpsnyder www.soundcloud.com/davidsnyderchannel www.songtradr.com/user/profile/david.snyder

BUT, next time I call in for tech support, you'll have to take this from me: "Aaarrgh Ken', ye know maaar sooon, fer ar, the blarrmyey, Real Band, er some error message, an der goon, da forch un an de oonda marda fin a Gulley de bar.

Your vocal on this is terrific - "energetic"... The mix is good - though I did want the drums to have a bit more "pop" and the piano to be a bit "crisper" (just personal preferences on my part). Cool song. Sometimes left me wondering what it was referring to, but cool images throughout... fj _________________________ 150+ Songs produced using BIAB RealTracks And 50 more... and some more...

Registered: 08/29/14 Posts: 5038 Loc: North Carolina David Snyder Veteran Registered: 08/29/14 Posts: 5038 Loc: North Carolina	Floyd, I think I told you I spent an entire evening sitting on the top of a burned out Pinto with Michael Stipe when R.E.M. had just started out and he gave me his opinion on rock and roll. He told me that if the lyrics make sense, it's not rock and roll, basically. He told me that country was supposed to make sense but rock and roll was supposed to be more like "stuff you remember from a dream" or something like that. Then a drunk cowboy wandered up to the car and started talking about his last two years working on the pipeline in Alaska. Michael Stipe pulled a cheap K-Mart notebook out of his pocket and wrote down every word, including the part about God telling the cowboy not to listen to Elvis. I don't think I've ever been to a better lyric writing workshop. And I was doing my very best here not to make much sense. _________________________ David Snyder Audiophile Everything + Studio + Instruments + Fingers ASCAP, NSAI www.davidsnydermusic.com www.reverbnation.com/davidpsnyder www.soundcloud.com/davidsnyderchannel www.songtradr.com/user/profile/david.snyder

The town may be secret but your songwriting and performing is quickly becoming well known. You have a wide range of ideas and melodies that leave us guessing what's next but you never disappoint.

Lyrics are very engaging but cryptic, and the sound is infectious. Love the way you change the melody as you go through the song but keep the feel that holds it together. You continue to do some awesome stuff!! Take care. Greg

Your vocal is fantastic but the lyrics took it over the top for me. Your mix was spot on also!

I would have made the drums bigger and I would have brought the choruses up in pitch as well as a guitar solo after the first chorus. Of course these are all personal preferences as it works fine as is. Another fine creative endeavor. Tom

Uncommon RealTracks Instruments for Band-in-a-Box®

Today is Uncommon Instrument Awareness Day.

Examples of "uncommon instruments" include anything from Spoons to the Wheelharp to the Singing Ringing Tree, and more!
(there's probably more instruments out there that we DON'T know than we DO know)

Although our RealTracks collection doesn't include many 'uncommon instruments', we do offer some pretty unique choices!

On top of the usual varieties we offer for Piano, Guitar, Saxophone, Flute, Clarinet, Bass, Tuba, Trumpet, Trombone, and more - our RealTracks library also offers a nice selection of Shakuhachi and Kalimba - there's even a Koto RealTrack included in Set 212!

Kalimba: RealTracks Set 271
Koto: RealTracks Set 212
Shakuhachi: RealTracks Sets 193 & 212

What's the most surprising RealTrack Instrument that you've come across?

Band-in-a-Box® 2019 Mac Update Ready!

Just because Band-in-a-Box® 2020 for Mac is here doesn't mean we've forgotten our 2019 users!

If you're still using Band-in-a-Box® 2019, make sure you download the latest patch update (b324) for an updated splash screen (macOS 10.12 and 10.13 users), smoother Song Titles dialog, access to your (purchased) RealTracks Set 328, and we've corrected the reported issue with opening songs from older versions of Band-in-a-Box in the 2019 version.

Review - Loops-with-Style PAK 2 for Band-in-a-Box® 2020

"Dr. Dave" Walker is at it again! You may remember his recent reviews of both Band-in-a-Box 2020 for Mac and Xtra Styles PAK 9 - now he has something to say about our Loops-with-Style PAK 2 - check it out: Click here to read...

With money being tight for most musicians, this is a wonderful gift for those on a limited budget. At $29, it offers months and years of fun and experimentation, bringing many ideas to fruition as songs with enough variation so that your audience doesn’t jump to "aw, that's a computer!" while still keeping the power of the software in your hands.
-"Dr. Dave" Walker

Thank you again Dr. Dave for the great review!

My New Favorite Thing - Extra Style PAK #9 with Loop Pack #2

I set up an eight bar progression with some simple pushes, shots, holds, and rests for reference. Then I started auditioning styles--Three hours later, I am invigorated, inspired, and just plain smiling big. Really CHOICE! From "down to earth" to eclectic, this is a really fun pak.

Great job, folks!
