He said go for it. This one is for you Bob. https://soundcloud.com/davidsnyderchannel/captain-midnight Also, pursuant to Floyd's drumming lessons: 1. Is the bass loud enough now? 2. Are the drums loud enough now? 3. Is this what you call rock and roll? Captain Midnight By David Snyder Captain Midnight Why you up before the day Spinning messages That will steal our souls away Captain Midnight I hate to see you on T.V. Talking to someone But you’re not speaking for me Pre Chorus And I wish that you would fade to black But there are some things you can’t take back The best that we can hope for Is some rope and a gunny sack CH: Captain Midnight It’s time to call Major Tom Dial up Uranus And maybe they can fly you home Captain Midnight Please leave us alone Captain Midnight Please hang up the phone V2 Captain Midnight Why you want to talk that way Did your mommie Take all your toys away Captain Midnight I hate to see you on the Street Brick by brick you ruin us And the ground beneath your feet Pre Chorus And there are some things you can’t take back Some people are praying for a heart attack The best that we can hope for Is some rope and gunny sack CH: Captain Midnight It’s time to call Major Tom Dial up Uranus And maybe they can fly you home Captain Midnight Leave us alone Captain Midnight Please leave us alone Captain Midnight Please leave us alone Music and Lyrics Copyright 2018 by David Snyder/ASCAP/Day of Faith Records David Snyder Acoustic 12 String, Vocals, additional instrumentation RealTracks in style: 1036:Bass, Electric, NorthernRockBallad Ev 065 Real Track 1004 12 String RealTracks in style: 1598:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm Pop16thsGritty Ev16 065 Real Track 2407 Synth Jazz Funk Plucky RealTracks in style: 806:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm DrivingCountryBalladDirty Ev 065 RealDrums in style: NashvilleEven16^5-a:Snare, HiHat , b:Snare, Ride ******************* Recorded, mixed and engineered by David Snyder at Day of Faith Studios.

The arrangement, the production and the clarity of sound is first class; and your performance sits so very comfortably in amongst them all. Really impressive work. All the best, Noel MY SONGS...

I enjoyed listening to it. -- David Cuny My virtual singer development blog Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

The cymbals are especially and nice and crisp. BTW, to answer your questions, just keep turning everything up. It's the ONLY way to mix Chad (Hope that makes it easier) TEMPO TANTRUM: What a lead singer has when they can't stay in time.

The instrumentation is perfect. Two thumbs up.

Outstanding vocal. Terrific instrumentation. The plucky synth is a great add! Showing off the David Snyder genius. Subtle. Stable. I'm re-tweeting this. The drums could be louder. @realFloyd 150+ Songs produced using BIAB RealTracks And 50 more... and some more...

I wouldn't worry about the mix - it sounds amazing I'm definitely getting a David Bowie sort of vibe on this one. The way the music elevates for the chorus was wonderfully done as well. You really nailed this one - thanks so much for sharing! Cheers, Deryk

It only takes ONE moment listening to something by you or any one the highly talented songwriters on this forum and my blood gets pumping and I am off to the races. It happens instantly--but I get my inspiration HERE man. That's why I keep telling folks, you gotta listen to other people's genius...that's how it works...
