#539557 - 06/04/19 05:51 PM [User Showcase] I Can Almost See the Light
Registered: 08/29/14 Posts: 5156 Loc: North Carolina David Snyder Veteran Registered: 08/29/14 Posts: 5156 Loc: North Carolina	It's only rock and roll. https://soundcloud.com/david-snyder-gigs2/i-can-almost-see-the-light I CAN ALMOST SEE THE LIGHT By David Snyder V1 Each time I see the battlefield Where hate and lies refuse to yield I wonder how the word will end But then a song breaks in my heart And I know just where to start Faith is where it all begins CH And oh I’m climbing up this wall Hold my hand so I don’t fall I’m on my way to paradise I can almost see the light V2 All these lies that we’ve been told Were born in darkness long ago By the enemy of all our hearts There is one truth under the sun All God’s children are as one That’s where the revelation starts CH And so we’re climbing up this wall We’re holding hands so we don’t fall We’re on our way to paradise I can almost see the light Kiss my lips and close your eyes I refute the devil’s lies Bang the drums and hold me tight I can almost see the light Bridge: And all I have is rock and roll But that has always saved my soul And my heart is still on fire I refuse to make it cold I will not be bought and sold I refute all death and sin I refuse to let hate win I refuse to let hate win Ch: And oh I’m climbing up this wall Hold my hand so I don’t fall I’m on my way to paradise I can almost see the light Words and music by David Snyder Copyright Day of Faith Records/ASCAP 2019 David Snyder: Vocals, Electric and Acoustic Guitar, Piano, Strings, Keys, Recording, Engineering, Production and Mastering RealTracks in song: 909:Bass, Electric, SmoothPoppy Ev16 090 832:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm AltCountryMoody Ev 075 RealDrums [in style:MetalSlowBigTomGroove: a: Toms, Snare b: Busy Big Toms, Snare _________________________ David Snyder Audiophile Everything + Studio + Instruments + Fingers ASCAP, NSAI www.davidsnydermusic.com www.reverbnation.com/davidpsnyder www.soundcloud.com/davidsnyderchannel www.songtradr.com/user/profile/david.snyder

The vocal at the beginning of the chorus seems a bit overwhelmed by the the instruments... But that's rock and roll, right?

The vocals reach and soar, and your delivery is nothing short of flawless. Keep it up, friend! _________________________ Band-in-a-Box 2019 PlusPAK w 2019 Bonus Pak.

Registered: 04/13/16 Posts: 2789 Loc: Stanwell Park NSW Australia rayc Veteran Registered: 04/13/16 Posts: 2789 Loc: Stanwell Park NSW Australia	Terrific building arrangement and melody. The non BIAB elements really liven the track. I often wonder how much of any given lyric of yours is satire because, as with many things, there're a couple of ways to read things. I did wonder at holding hands while climbing for instance. In the 1st chorus "And oh..." is buried by that big change to start the section. David, is the vocal a comp? I ask because there were a few moments that may have been sudden cuts etc.OR it could be the media player being a little glitchy. I was really drawn to the string arrangement - it emphasized the build really well. Classic Snyder. _________________________ Cheers rayc "What's so funny about peace, love & understanding?" - N.Lowe Pop on over to The Recording Rebels for positive, honest commentary, critiques and support. https://therecordingrebels.com

Beautiful, inspiring, passionate song, and a wonderful delivery! I love the contrast between verse and chorus with the quick cadence in the mid-range and then the soaring, elongated notes in the chorus.....works perfectly! Really great work!!! Take care. Greg

Registered: 08/21/18 Posts: 1216 Tangmo Expert Registered: 08/21/18 Posts: 1216	Really good stuff. Simple delivery in the band in the verses coupled with a hasty delivery in the vocals made for an expectant excitation. When the chorus hit, I could "see" lighters flaring in the crowd, and lots of "swaying". Yeah, I'm a bit tired and sleep-deprived so I might be mildly hallucinating. But, dang it, that's what I saw. Part of your lyric reminds me of one of my old songs. But that's another tale. Much enjoyed. _________________________ BIAB 2020 Audiophile. Windows 10 64bit.

Band-in-a-Box® 2021 for Windows Reviews!

Head to www.gearsltuz.com for the latest Band-in-a-Box® reviews by Sound-Guy and CoolGuitarGear!

Band-in-a-Box continues to evolve into an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians. You can produce not only new compositions and arrangements, but also perform them with excellent musical “talent”. It’s easy to use the basic functions, and challenging enough to keep you occupied for years. As it has been for years, it’s an amazing program.
-Sound-Guy

From my perspective, as a long-time user of BIAB, the above improvements, changes and additions definitely take the program to the next step. The new elements and audio upgrading are fantastic and I’m even more excited to work with this version than some others in the past.
