THING FOR YOU_David Snyder with Oliver Gannon

Well Happy 2022 Everybody. It has been a good year so far. I received a lot of good feedback recently from a large music organization I belong to after sending in 12 tunes, and they said I was “definitely writing, producing and arranging commercial pop.”

In that light, I will not worry anymore about whether Real Band works, I will just keep using it, and see what else happens.

The old piano playing is coming right along and I think I am making some progress, but it was so swell of Oliver Gannon to play along with me again on this new tune. It’s maybe just syrupy and romantic and full of pop jazz, but hey, it’s who I am.

Thing for You
By David Snyder

https://soundcloud.com/david-snyder-gigs3/thing-for-you

V1

There is something I must confess
although I've been hiding it
But somehow I must tell the truth
I can't sleep, I can't think, it would do me no good to drink
You see I have a problem
and the problem
is you

CH

Cause I've got a thing for you
I've got a thing for you
What in the world can I do
Cause I, I, I, Yes I, I, I,
Yes I, I, I have a thing for you
Yes I do

V2

They say that you're too good for me
That I'm out of my league
and that some dreams just can't ever come true
but if you could be inside of me
and see the way I look at you
would we slow dance, and romance the way folks used to do

Chorus

V3

Oh, if you could be inside of me
and see the way I look at you
could we slow dance and romance the way folks used to do

CH

David, you are off to an awesome 2022!

Great song! Everything is spot on, as usual. Loved your vocal and the lyrics.

Thanks Dani! That "thing" already happened and we recently celebrated an anniversary, and this is a nod to that.

There is a much longer version of the theme, and maybe I can squeeze a few more songs out of it.

"syrupy and romantic" is a good place to be, David. Yes, your piano playing is really adding a nice touch. Those strings sound perfect, and they mix well with the cello. Great celebration of the thing. Love those lyrics.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Another for the Gannon canon,

The writing & performance of

"Cause I've got a thing for you
I've got a thing for you
What in the world can I do"

Is 100% ACE


Cheers

Hi David,

it's very honest and very fragile and almost moving towards Tom Waits - it's really impressive.
Was intrigued and my mind was busy processing the song while it went along, and once it was over, I wanted to listen to it again.

Cheers
Peter

Nice romantic pop tune, what could be a better and more positive way to start the new year smile Enjoyed the lush arrangement with cellos and strings, the piano works very well. I'll be waiting for more syrupy tunes based on your daily inspiration.

Simple and to the point. It took a minute to figure out it was a waltz.

As with Peter, I was getting a strong Tom Waits vibe, which is always a good thing.

Good song - syrupy works for me! smile

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Mr. Snyder...

A Love Song with Heart.

Nice production. Nice mix. Piano is coming along nicely...

A cool, passionate vocal.

(I did have a moment with an odd image of a Hannibal Lecter style "David Snyder suit" to "put on" when you were singing...
"but if you could be inside of me
and see the way I look at you"
...so that had my attention for a moment or two... but...hey....)
