On this new tune, I came up with a cool acoustic guitar lick, but I didn't know what to do with it. This was truly a case where the Band in a Box Style helped me interpret my idea and truly "bring it to life"--both sonically and arrangement wise.
More and more I find BIAB to be a songwriting "partner" and composing tool. There are deep wells of endless fascination in this amazing product for sure.
Hope you dig it. Three wild guesses what it is about.
Where the Water is Clean By David Snyder
V1
Well I’m putting on my coat And I’m leaving everything Cause I got to find a place Where the water is clean Going to run across that mountain top Until I find the silver stream Got to find that place That looks a lot more like my dreams
CH:
And I know somebody down here Knows exactly what I mean Yeah I can see a little boy and girl Looking through a front porch screen And they know they got to find a place Where the water is clean Yeah they know they got to find a place That looks a lot more like their dreams
V2
Gonna sing the music of my heart Gonna sing the music of my soul Cause the angels they have lifted me Above the heresy below, this circus show
CH:
And I know somebody down here Knows exactly what I mean Gonna run across that mountain top Until I find that silver stream We all we got to find a place That looks a lot more like our dreams
Coda:
Oooh, oooh
We all got to find a place where the water is clean We all got to find a place That looks a lot more like our dreams We all got to find a place That looks a lot more like our dreams

****** Song Summary ************* Title: Where the Water Is Clean
Very good! I enjoyed the gentleness and conviction of the lyrics. Those guitars really make a cool backing and I can also hear some CSN&Y in that sound. Can we get started on the Welcome banner up here in the Great White North?
As I wrote on Soundcloud, the guitar backing created an atmosphere that made me think of "Everybody's Talkin' At Me" from Midnight Cowboy. I really like the sound you've discovered with this production and the sense of longing that it creates. You've done a great job putting this together.
David you sometimes say a hell of a lot with very little. I know somebody down here knows exactly what you mean. Me for a start As Peter says, big sound going on here. Big song all round.
David, You found the longing sound you needed to compliment the write. Nice vocal and well mixed. Nothing ever happens unless you dream it first. I liked it a lot. Tom
Really cool song!! Gets better the longer you listen to it. Some interesting harmonic stuff going on, and a very passionate vocal. On first listen, it struck me that the lyric in the chorus could be delivered on every musical phrase for the first 2-4 lines to give more variety to it rhythmically. However, it works great the way it is too. Wonderful listen!! Take care. Greg
Thank you! Yes, I am on my way. I wrote to PG Music about a hundred times and said I felt I qualified for dual citizenship now, but so far, I have not received it, so I just started walking.
It has been a long walk man. Any idea how much longer I have?

Hell yeah, we're ready to go!
We'll only add that the mix sounds amazing on our monitors. Full soundstage. Everything has it's place. Mesmerizing.

Love to hear this! (read this?)
This song really came together - love the lyrics, and I'm a huge fan of the "Guitar, Acoustic, Fingerpicking Songwriter16ths Ev16 075" used
David, the music is perfect for the message and the message is delivered from the soul! My guess about this tune is that we mere mortals seem to always mess up a potential Utopia! One day, maybe beyond this temporary existence we will find it. I'm rambling though. God Bless, Torrey.
Very cool! The unique chord progressions and the guitar backing give a particular atmosphere to the song. I agree Rob. Nice Full sound on the mix. Man are you productive. Enjoyed my listen a lot.
David, What the **** are you on??? Every song is tremendous.

I'm glad that BIAB helped you to interpret your idea because you ended up with a great song. I love that acoustic jangle that runs the length of the song - gives it a beautiful ethereal quality. Your lyric and vocal are also up to their usual high standard. Nice ending on the 4th.
Great job, Jez
