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-youV1 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 All words and music copyright 2022 by David Snyder ASCAP/Day of Faith Records David Snyder: Piano, Vocals, Strings, Arrangement, Production, Mixing and Mastering Gayle Snyder: Daily Inspiration RealTracks in style: ~~2317:Bass, Acoustic, JazzWaltzSlowRonHeld Sw 085 RealTracks in song: 1987:Guitar, Acoustic, Rhythm JazzWaltzFreddie Sw 110 RealTracks in song: 2557:Cello, Background SlowWaltz Sw 085 RealTracks in song: 2294:Sax, Alto, Rhythm SlowPop Ev16 065 (1TrackHornSection) RealDrums [in style:JazzWaltzLewis^03-a:Brushes, Snare , b:Busy Ride, Snare (a piano 2 by BIAB in there somewhere)

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.

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

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

Nice romantic pop tune, what could be a better and more positive way to start the new year 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. Janne

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!

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....) fj

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
