Just going for something whimsical. https://soundcloud.com/david-snyder-gigs2/cinnamon-treeI am enjoying my journey through the 2019 Real Sets. Got stuck at 317 "Guitar and Piano for Songwriters." I was shooting for a simple sound and purity in the mix on this one--used the Waves Abbey Road TG Mastering Plugin (love it) on Instrument Bus and Drum bus, with final polish in Ozone. CINNAMON TREE V1 Adam and Eve In the garden of Eden Walked near a Cinnamon Tree Adam said Eve Now look what we’ve done I guess we’ll have to live free Eve said to Adam Just take my hand Cause I’m just a woman And you’re just a man We’ll drive ‘cross this earth Find our own promised land Cause we’re doing the best that we can CH So they rolled down the windows Held hands in the dark Drove ‘cross the world With a wide open heart They made love in the meadows And slept by the sea And kissed ‘neath a cinnamon tree Yeah they kissed ‘neath a cinnamon tree a cinnamon tree CH Now there’s lovers from Asheville And Asbury Park Searching for faith But it’s a shot in the dark Cause you are what you are And it’s all you can be When you know that you have to live free CH So let's roll down the windows Hold hands in the dark Drive ‘cross the world With a wide open heart Make love in the meadows And sleep by the sea Just like Adam and Eve We’ll kiss ‘neath that cinnamon tree Inst.

This is a clever idea for a song. I wish I woulda thunk it. Lyrics and music flow nicely from verse to chorus--I especially like the change in the last chorus. It gives a completion to the song.

Nice job. I like the tracks you used.... nice and full but simple.
Channeling Dylan again.... ?
I like it.
Sounds like you're starting to get your vocals dialed in a bit.

Very nicely done, David  Loving the lyrics on this. They are really unique, clever, and definitely memorable. That aside, your vocals are top notch as always and the chorus is nice and powerful. Definitely picking up the Dylan influence on this one, which is never a bad thing by me. Great work, and thanks for sharing!

Excellent work on this, one of your best vocals and a strong set of lyrics. It was also immediately engaging and nicely familiar.
Very well done.

David, From Eden to Asbury Park with a sweet message and rolling music... had me swaying. Really enjoyed the lyrics and everything on vocals/backing/mix sounds just right. Very good!

Issuing a different Cinnamon Challenge. The vocal intro gave an impression of impending strut R.O.C.K. nice touch to confound expectations. Really enjoyable narrative.

Had a hankering for something simple. A well-writ little song with some big ideas tucked into the twang and that time sig. Very satisfying.
As a side note: I'm glad they didn't make love in a Cinnabon in the airport waiting for a flight between Asheville and Asbury Park. They's people tryin' to eat.

Hi David,
It's been a while since you posted a song, but man, this was worth the wait! Great intro, excellent writing, and possibly your best vocal yet.
People have mentioned Dylan, I'm hearing some Springsteen vibes happening also.
Very, very good!

Hi David!! Good to see you back!! Really like this.....has a great rhythmic drive and some wonderfully creative DS lyrics!! I have a question. The style is SINNER. I was curious if you just liked "the band" in the PG demo, and that word was the trigger for this creative tune. Kind of a shot in the dark but then again: Is there really such thing as coincidence? Really nice work David!! Take care. Greg

Love how the stately and measured pacing of the instruments couple with the the spirited and emotive lyrics and vocals on this track.
Well done, David!
