So I have been working on my Whiskey Town Alt-Country Album and the last version of this song Heartless was bugging the hell out of me. So I did a version with piano lead and I think it makes a huge difference. I think this may be the one. Let me know what you think. https://www.reverbnation.com/davidpsnyder/song/33525682-heartlessHEARTLESS By David Snyder V1 If you ask my opinion God doesn't ask that much just try and make a difference in every life you touch Everybody in the world is hurt and they need a friend it's really not all that hard to understand CH You might have got drunk you might have been fried you might have been really messed up inside it doesn't mean you're going to hell but if you were heartless If you were heartless it ain't gonna go that well V2 If you ask my opinion everybody's got it rough you work and you fight and try it's never good enough The only way to win is love and then love some more I can promise you someone is damned sure keeping score CH You might have got drunk you might have been fried you might have been really messed up inside it doesn't mean you're going to hell it doesn't mean you're going to hell but if you were heartless If you were heartless it ain't gonna go that well Bridge You know God weighs the heart of every woman and man and all God expects you to do is the best you can but if you hurt the way you've been hurt it comes back on you and you know every single word of this is true CH You might have got drunk you might have been fried you might have been really messed up inside it doesn't mean you're going to hell it doesn't mean you're going to hell but if you were heartless If you were heartless it ain't gonna go that well If you ask my opinion God doesn't ask that much yeah if you my opinion God doesn't ask that much All music and lyrics copyright 2022 by David Snyder Day of Faith Records/ASCAP David Snyder: Production, Vocals, Instrumentation, Engineering Mastering The instruments have not changed from version 1. I just added piano.

David, this sounds fabulous. Although I didn't hear the first version I don't think it would be as good as this one with the piano. Great vocal and outstanding lyrics.
Loved it

David.
i like the instrumentation//backing as well as the lyrics and the emotion in the lyrics.
some pro AE's might say to bring the lead vocs forward a tad. but thats just a feeling i have.
i might be wrong.after a second listen...maybe less voc fx ?
this is v good imho ..sincerely.
loved how you reinforced the song with femme bgv's.
i think this is one of your best david. imho a commercial radio potential hit. good hooks etc etc.
david you really upped the ante with this song.
kudos mate.

David...the piano does seem to capture the energy of the song very well...it has a Bob Seger feel to it...which I love...and in my opinion "God doesn't ask that much"...I love the pragmatism of the song..."but if you were heartless, if you were heartless, it ain't gonna go that well"...good line...good song...well done!

Your songs grab me with your lyrics, melody, and vocal presentation, David. You always put the best musicians in the best mix. All of that says it just doesn't matter what accompaniment you chose, I'm hooked. To answer your question, though, the piano version sounds great, and I agree with you. This is the one.

Howdy David - I think you're right. I much prefer this sound. The piano makes a huge difference, and the entire mix is better IMHO. The guitars are clearer and stand out more. The song builds well. The vocal also stands out better. At the end of the song, near 2:54, I heard a humming or feedback type of sound that lasted for a few seconds. I thought that was kind of distracting.

David, This is an excellent write- direct, honest opinion I can`t argue with! I didn`t hear the first version but I like the piano here and slightly gospel feel to the band, and, of course,its sung with the conviction you bring to all your work.

I remember this.
I don't remember what I thought of the old mix, but I like this.

One of your best songs here David. And indeed putting the emphasis on the piano is making a difference.
I can't help but wonder though what effect would be if you would sing V1 + the first CH with piano only. And then on the very beat of the word "well" at the end of the first chorus set in the rest of the band...
Might be interesting, dynamically speaking...

Hey David, great work. I got a feel somewhere between the Beatles and Joe Walsh. Great lyrics and message too. "Everybody in the world is hurt" If anything, I'd bring the piano up, but that's just my opinion.

Somehow, I missed the first version, but I went back and found it. I like this one better. The piano was an excellent choice. This is a really good song--one of my favorite DS songs.

I like it a lot. Didn't hear the original that I recall but the piano is effective here. And your voice is pure gold. You really got a great Guthrie/Springsteen thing going on with it. Classic!

You are a superb, genuine musician - it shows and how, in this and in your other songs. And the message here is stunning. Shades of John Lennon. One of the best songs I've heard on here - delivery as well as writing-wise. BRAVO - hats off to you. Glad I got to hear this one, tonight.
