OP David Snyder Veteran Joined: Aug 2014 Posts: 8,330 North Carolina	As I think I have mentioned, Floyd and I have the same old Yamaha acoustic. Mine is a 1972 and fitted with an old school Dean Markley soundhole pickup. This went direct into the board with no effects. There is a picture of it on the soundcloud file. Brent Mason is on the left, and I am on the right. No effects on any of the acoustics. Totally old school--and wood. https://soundcloud.com/david-snyder-gigs2/ill-take-heaven-here Hope you like it. I’ll Take Heaven Here By David Snyder V1 If God would listen to me ‘bout what I want to do I’m afraid I’d have to tell him The honest Gospel truth I’d be right bored in heaven With just that chosen few So if he wouldn’t mind He could leave us both behind ‘Cause I swear all I really want to do Is stay right here with you CH Yeah if I could have Every dream come true I’d trade it all right now Just to stay right here with you If God would listen to me I’d tell the Gospel truth I’ll take heaven here And another billion years with you V2 If the jury were to ask me Where I feel at home I couldn’t tell a lie ‘cause I’d be under oath I’d be right bored in heaven With nothing much to do I’d rather have these moonlit pines and a midnight ocean view Cause all I really want to do Is live forever here with you CH Yeah if I could have Every dream come true I’d trade it all right now Just to stay right here with you If God would listen to me I’d tell the Gospel truth I’ll take heaven here And another billion years with you Bridge If I have been mistaken Or I have not been clear I will say it all again And I will sing it all right here CH Yeah if I could have Every dream come true I’d trade it all right now Just to stay right here with you If God would listen to me I’d tell the Gospel truth I’ll take heaven here And another billion years with you All words and music copyright 2018 by David Snyder, ASCAP/DAY OF FAITH RECORDS David Snyder, Guitar and Vocals, Production, Engineering, Mastering Acoustics: Brent Mason Left Channel, David Snyder Right Channel RealTracks in style: ~700:Bass, Electric, PopHalfNotesPush Ev 085 RealTracks in song: 2460:Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm NewAgeAlbertiMoody Ev 140 (Midi Version) RealTracks in style: 2914:Guitar, Acoustic, Fingerpicking Folky16thsBrent Ev16 085 RealTracks in style: 632:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm PopAmericanMuted Ev 120 RealDrums in style: ModernPopBallad16ths^01-a:Quiet hat, Sync-kick, b:Open hat, Sync-kick Attached Files (Click to download or enlarge) (Only available when you are logged in) Heaven Lyrics2.jpg (24.4 KB, 128 downloads) David Snyder Songwriter/Renaissance Man Studio + Fingers https://davidsnydersongs.com/ https://spoti.fi/359Gigs www.davidsnydermusic.com/ www.reverbnation.com/davidpsnyder www.soundcloud.com/davidsnyderchannel https://www.songtradr.com/user/profile/david.snyder

I like the way you sort of broke the fourth wall before the final chorus. Nice instrumental build into the chorus. This feels commercial, in that it keeps focused on the chorus, and pounds it in. I'd say something about the vocal sounding a touch low in the mix, but then I remembered I tend to mix my vocals too hot, so... It's probably exactly where it needs to be. I enjoyed listening - delicious cheese! -- David Cuny My virtual singer development blog Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Acoustics sound great and the vocal is sitting perfectly in the mix. Keep that hand drawn note with the song ideas, it could be worth money someday!

The flow is immaculate, and it sounds sincere and heartfelt. Also, in my eyes you utilized the percussion perfectly here. It helps accentuate the mood when it needs to and I really didn't see that coming. You should be proud of this one - thanks so much for sharing! Cheers, Deryk
