David,
Agree this is one of your best, and also one of your best vocals.
It's all coming together really nicely on this one!
Really top notch.
Peter

Hi David, Wow! You've certainly upped the song-writing ante with this creation and your arrangement and presentation of it. As I sat here listen, these are some of the thoughts that appeared in my mind... - completely from the heart and full of heart
- a wonderfully planned arrangement with an excellent emotional contour
- lyrics that ring with sincerity and honesty
- excellent imagery
- vocals that soar... especially the chorus
- everything about this pulls me right into the mix
You've done a great job with this! All the best for you and your family this Christmas and New Year, Noel

Dear Mr. Snyder...
Your mournful song, "Judgement Day", succeeded in casting dark shadows over my usually hopeful, optimistic soul, so I'll check-off the "emotionally stirring" category. Your lyrics have a scenic power that is vivid as memories that are too strong to fade, which allows me to check-off "good story-telling" from the list. And, finally, the "message" I perceived in your song, while fateful in its warning, nonetheless has the latent possibility of spurring all of us into action, and that makes me happy to check-off the "yes, there is hope, children" line, and get right down to the work of making it real.
Pensively,
LOREN

What a super vocal David. What a cool story in the lyrics. The backtrack was just perfect bed for the song. Well done. One of my favorites of yours.

Thanks David! Well, I guess I could have said "the horsemen are approaching..." for... but...I guess I just didn't feel like it man. Bob Dylan was always inventing his own apocalyptic landscapes and didn't seem to care if it was exact as long as it sounded good, so I said, heck, I can too! Besides, I didn't say horsemen, I said riders, and I think the number Seven is scarier. Plus, I said the FIRST Apocalypse which is the one that is happening NOW ahead of time, where in the Snyder mythology, there are Seven Riders. Some have asked if these are the Seven Deadly sins, which can all be attributed to one famous person, or an allusion to the Seven Celtic Kingdoms which are coming to seek bloody vengeance for the destruction of their villages and Celtic grave sites to build golf courses. Will there be a movie on Netflix called the Seventh Kingdom where we see a Celtic battleaxe covered in blood and weird hair lying on a golf course in the opening shot?? Others wanted to know if it refers to the Seven Vestal Virgins. I say: Think about it. Just think about it.

Nice one David
I know nothing about the subject (I always thought there were Four Horseman of the Apocalypse ), but I do know about the song arrangement and the vocals.
And also the feel of your soul that you have in this song, that is where it matters the most when posting a song of this nature.
I do think the vocals was one of your best, if not thee one.
Take care.

Yes, this is an excellent song, and production, I love the way you bring in the extra instruments shortly after the beginning, adds a layer, and then you do it again on the seven riders are approaching. That is kind of a mix of the 4 horsemen and seven seals in the same area of Revelation. Vocal is top notch here. Great song David Cliff

David, great work on this one...I'll echo some others...I really liked the "ooo baby" soaring line, excellent!
Looking at your production notes, looks like you played a lot of this directly--I'm so impressed!
Overall sounds very polished and complete.
Well done in all respects!
Thanks for making and sharing!

Just another great song from you! Might be my favorite yet.
Vocals are so passionate and emotive, and those lyrics are just sooooo good ...
You music just keeps on getting better, David, I'm a fan!

Robert,
Affirmation in the ruins!
Cool, great phrase!
I will have to work that into a song. Thanks for the listen man. You certainly have been on a roll this year.

I have always felt the saying "expect the unexpected" was overused. Especially in the 80's. However, I have come to really appreciate that saying when it comes to you. There are times, and this was one of them, that I had an idea of how this song would go. I was WAY off. I thought it was going to be faster and convey a strong stance type of sound. I came across as humble and a "pondering" kind of song. Anyway, I love the feel of this song. The melody is outstanding! Actually, I would say the whole song it.
I need to know that someone’s listening
Cause I can’t go this one alone
I need to know the cross is empty
And that they rolled away the stone
This is easily one of the coolest lines. I love it! Great song David!

Ezekiel, Thank you so much. You really made my life there! I was really trying to get that Synesthesia effect going on and I am so glad you picked up on that. I struggled with a lot of sound colors to pull that off. Thanks so much for "seeing it."
