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.
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

Excellent - great sentiment, effective arrangement, good vocal.
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.
Cool, another classic David Snyder love song, you have been crystal clear with your message Another billion years, I hope so Mix is powerful and #2914 rules once again!
David, Wonderful lyrics - and I agree this has a commercial feel. I especially enjoyed the twin guitar opening, the added instrumentation slips into the background nicely. Sweet!
Nice song! Very strong vocal! I think that you are addicted to this type chord progression recently. I also love the progression " I - VI7 - IIm7 - V7 " very much. Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Really nicely done, David This is a truly beautiful song, from the chord progressions to your vocals to the lyrics. 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!
Loved the guitars working so well together and producing a beautiful acoustic bed for the vocals. Everything working well in it's own space and a super mix.
I'm really loving your "simple cheese". I mean, this is so wonderful. Your vocal is top shelf - but a wonderful lyric like this deserves an equally a passionate vocal. You delivered!
You've earned about every superlative a musical piece could garner. You outdid even your talented self.
