Trying to catch up on writing some tunes before the end of 2020. This is just some rock and roll. I went all the way back to Real Tracks Set 4 and added some stuff. I am sure the lyrics will be oblique and no one will know what I am talking about.

OK ... I'll get this started.
First, David, great tracks ands mix. I particularly like your drum track. Just enough without being too much. In my opinion, this is one of your very best vocals. Nice use of the horizontal mix ... wide but with no open holes. A relatively small band that sounds full with everything distinct.
I could read 3 or 4 different interpretations into the lyric, confirming your oblique suggestion. What's good about that is everyone can make it mean what relates to his or her time and place of reference. Oblique lyrics often have a charismatic intrigue ... and I like that!
Wishing you the best. Hope you and yours have a fantastic Christmas. Wishing you nothing but the very best ...

David,
MAN! That BAND is PERFECT for your lyric and vocal.
Like it was created just for you. Or you picked those guys personally.
An excellent write.
Mix sounds good.
One of your best vocals. Confident and comfortable and immediate.
Good music, Mr Snyder.

Really awesome tune! This took me back when me and my friends would just throw on tunes and drive aimlessly around town together in our small town we grew up in. Thanks for sharing!
Cheers,
Ember

Cool song. I love the tone of the mix. Great lyrics. The band provides a strong steady beat. Home - a good subject matter.

Nice uplifting song, with enough generalities that it could apply to virtually anything. Excellent pop writing!  Sounds great in my headphones.

Thanks Floyd Buddy! Yes, I know four of the musicians on a very intimate basis, but none of them as much as I would like to. They still confuse me daily.

David, This sounds really good. The drums especially sound good. Good write with a melodic chorus. Well sung with conviction and very much enjoyed, Tom

Love the driving acoustic guitar, David, as well as the whole sound. Excellent impassioned vocal. The lyrics feel personal yet leave plenty of room for interpretation (the best kind, in my opinion). Another winner.
Regards,
Leon
