It's only rock and roll.  https://soundcloud.com/david-snyder-gigs2/i-can-almost-see-the-lightI 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 Synder testifies!  I enjoyed the song. The vocal at the beginning of the chorus seems a bit overwhelmed by the the instruments... But that's rock and roll, right?

David,
I am not the right guy to comment on spiritual part but, musically this was excellent! It felt like you put a lot of energy in this. Guitars are great. Mix and production is pro level.
Thank you for sharing!
Misha.

David,
A rock anthem at its finest... You are at the peak of your rock 'n' roll powers.
Awesome vocal and arrangement. The mix is big and in your face.
Loved it all!

I gotta say David, your masterful selection and employment of RTs and RDs, as well as precisely where and when to have them hold, arpeggiate, or rest, never fails to impress me.
The vocals reach and soar, and your delivery is nothing short of flawless.
Keep it up, friend!

David,
A stunningly good write. A great message.
A truly passionate vocal.
Excellent production. The strummed electric is very effective. Those drums works well. Good mix.
One of your best!
So good.

Nicely done, David Definitely some good rock music, and I love your lyrics and vocal delivery here, especially on that chorus. It really cuts and is really memorable. I thought the mix was top notch as well. Great work and thanks for sharing!

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.

It's only Rock and Roll BUT I LIKE IT!!! 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

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.
