PG Music Home Forums General Discussion User Showcase MAKE ME LOVE AGAIN

So here is a new track before I take off for Ocracoke. I may have a signal there and maybe not.

I will *try* to stay in touch.

This is the last song for my next album, Whiskey Town, I think. It will be an alt-country album, which I will probably lead with Heartless. This will go in there somewhere.


Make Me Love Again

By David Snyder

https://soundcloud.com/david-snyder-gigs3/make-me-love-again


V1

Looking for a reason looking for a way
looking for an antidote to yesterday
looking for a person who can see beneath my skin
looking for any place on earth that would take me in
looking for a person who won't judge me
for a few mistakes I've made along the way

CH

So I'm looking for anyone anywhere anytime
just looking for someone who I can call a friend
any smile, any touch, you know that I don't ask for much
just anything that could make me feel like me
and make me love again
and make me love again

V2

Fighting for some answers, and you know I'm not afraid
I'd like to throw it in reverse , don't like this world we've made
So I'm looking for a person with some goodness in their eyes
looking for any place on earth that sells truth instead of lies

CH

So I'm looking for anyone anywhere anytime
just looking for someone who I can call a friend
any smile, any touch, you know I don't ask for much
just anything that could make me feel like me
and make me love again

BR

Oh I'm tired of falling down
from the sorrow in my soul, every time I look around

CH

So I'm looking for anyone anywhere anytime
just looking for someone who I can call a friend
any smile, any touch, you know I don't ask for much
just anything that could make me feel like me
and make me love again

Zowie, Dude! You are on a ROLL!

This is a killer song. An excellent write.

Stunning.

Good production. A signature David Snyder vocal (that's a good thing).
Good mix.

A hell of a listen.

Loved it.

Hi David,

Well written lyrics. It is a very endearing composition. I appreciated.

Kindly regard
Derochette

That which has been already said. This is superb. Echoes of Springsteen, this time, but this is undoubtedly Snyder. You are an extraordinary and sincere as well as a genuine musician. I always look forward to hearing your songs, as you post them on here, and a big part of the reason for that is your rawness and sincerity, which communicates itself irresistibly to the listener. In short: hats off. BRAVO.

Thanks Floyd old buddy!

Just trying to keep up with ya man!



Thanks so much for the listen and the kind comments.

Yes David you are on a roll with each song better than the last song.

Outstanding backing band and backing choir!

Super vocal and lyrics.

A great mix!

Loved it.

Love the song and the arrangement, and the lyrics are very good!

My only nit are the vocals in the chorus, the backing track and the choir are almost overpowering it. I'd up your vox a dB or three there.

I can see the improvement in your writing and singing with each new song you let us hear. Nicely done.

I really like this.

That was powerful, song and performance really carry some weight. At about 2:06, the choir starts to sound a bit loud to me. Not a big thing. Really enjoyed this, especially that vocal.

Anywhere anytime there's a new David Snyder song, there's guaranteed to be pure gold. Great song, strong message easy to relate to. Catchy as a good rock song should be, and so fresh that Gallagher brothers would envy. Super sounding powerful band and I really like the vocal production.

Janne

nice lyrics and vocal emotion.

liked the bgv's.

very nice david.

best

David...you are an exceptional lyricist and this is an example of that...I love the track...the vocal could be louder IMO...I too like the vocal backgrounds and the overall band...very cool style...it fits your lead vox so well...right in your wheelhouse...Loved it!

David,

You continue to astound & amaze with your music...

"Fighting for some answers, and you know I'm not afraid

Awesome vocal & production as well. This is a song to listen to over and over again.

Bob

Funny. I played this song a couple time, and came back to see what I had to say about it because I wanted to say more, and realize I never said anything. Not like me, huh? What a wonderful song, David. So well crafted and produced. I really really like the build of desperation, Brilliant stuff, man. These lyrics are so good, and so relatable to so many. Great use of BiaB. I didn't see credits for the ooze and oz, unless that was you. Nah. "Anywhere anytime there's a new David Snyder song, there's guaranteed to be pure gold." --Jannesan. I second that. I truly enjoy driving with your songs, David, and for this one I want to drive all the way to Northern California to become your friend.

David, this is an excellent write! Man, you really have a good one here. As many have already said, it's very relatable and so captivating. Not just what you've said, but the way you've said it. This has got to be one of the best of any of your writing I've heard - and that's saying something. I thought the production was fantastic. It all fits together like a hand in a glove. Great job, what a way to conclude an album!
Brad

Thanks Mario! I really appreciate that!

Very kind of you!

Great song David.
Your vocal is very good in this song!
And good lyrics too.

Anne-Marie

Great lyrics, David, especially that first verse. Very good as is, but I can also imagine it working well with a slightly more restrained vocal (your alt country voice ).
Regards,
Leon

Thank you Derochette. I really appreciate the kind words.

Dani

Really cool tune David. Excellent lyric and super vocal. Really well done.

David

Good song, excellent lyric, and arrangement.

Might be my headphones but the vocal was a bit far back (or maybe a bit too much reverb?) especially on the chorus.

The chorus has a really good melody.

Good one.

Peter

David,

Nice and catchy song!
I think it has a strong country touch as you intended.
Your vocal persuasiveness is wonderful.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

Shigeki Adachi

Thank you James! I really appreciate that sir!

Thanks B.D.

Not quite sure what to say about that vocal volume.

I have listened to the sound on numerous devices and it is where I want it to be.

I played the next to last version for my wife and we both thought the vocals were a tad too high. I did not like it.

I used Vocal Rider by Waves on the vocal bus and it also thought the vocals were too high again the mix by about 1.5 dB. So, I let it do its thing and I am pleased with it.

My wife has a very high end stereo system in her car, and it sounds great there. It also sounds great on my phone, and my laptop, so I think I am business.

I appreciate the feedback though.

Excellent write, man, I wish I had a fraction of your skills in that department!

I always love hearing the passion in your vocal, you sing like your life depends on it.

Great song, David, enjoyed very much.

The rumors are true - another great write sung with passion.

A nit - the mix feels off, but it's not a balance thing.

The guitars and cello sound like they're close miked, but the vocal sounds distant. So hearing all the detail from the guitars but not from the vocal seems wrong. Maybe adding some midrange boost to the vocal would help give it more presence?

Anyway, minor nit. Love the song!

Thanks Herb Old Buddy!

That means a lot!!

David,
This is such a good song!! Your trademark passion in the write and performance ( your vocal level sounds right to me)- and the personal touch of your guitar is a reminder you are a musician too.
I hear some of the mixcrits, but this affirms so much that`s good about songwriting, it left me feeling fine.

Robert

David,

One of your top writes, in my humble opinion. Some sweet things going on in the arrangement—that cello in particular is wonderful. As far as the arrangement, the overall production is fine, but I would love to hear a bit more layered approach on the mix, more of a build. You have everything going on at once from start to finish—or so it seems to me. And things get a little lost, the vocal in particular. Of course just my opinion—see what others think. But this is such a great tune—I think a little nuance in the arrangement would take it to another level. Very impressive write!

All my best to you,

Deej

As so many have mentioned the lyric is excellent. This will be a standout on your album.

“just anything that could make me feel like me”

The above line was Janice’s favorite of many as she said it was a powerful statement.

Your vocal is very soulful and we thought it sat well in the mix.

Kudo’s!

J&B

Hey Thanks Tunemonger,

I will look at that those vocals on the final mix and maybe post something.

Thanks!!

Thanks Janne! I really appreciate that! I am so glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks Dan!

I am really glad you liked it!

Hi David ...

What a terrific write and your presntation is wonderful. I my opinion, this is your very best vocal in quite some time. Youre vocals have a signature quality that defines you in an excellent way. And I think you put a little more spit and polish on this one.

Great lyric and choice of backing tracks. Good srtuff, my friend! Really good!

Alan

Love it, one of your best.
Your vocal sounds awesome and the song is terrific.
I'm glad I got to hear it.

Josie

Great emotional ballad David!!! Love the way you write, and love the passion of your vocals!!! Take care. Greg

I really liked the previous song you posted. This one is right up there with that one. Very catchy and some very fine poignant lyrics.

Great song writing David. Melody fits really nice with the lyrics. Cool sounding track! Well done.
-Mark

ps: Last trip to Ocracoke for me was over an Easter weekend and it never got over 45F. I'll never forget that. Have fun - it's one of the east coast's great get away spots!

Thanks so much Janne!

I am really glad you liked it!

David,

This is a lovely tune! Your instrumental contributions to this really sound great....love the acoustic parts! The song has such a sweet vibe! Those background vocals are wonderful!

Thanks, Torrey

That's my reaction too. Well done!

Thanks Oleman! I really appreciate that!

Thanks Janne! I really appreciate that!

Thanks Muso!

I really appreciate that!

Loved it, great lyrics.

Mike B.

Thanks Bob!

You are one of my major influences man, so that means a lot!!

David,
Good write. Nice guitar playing, they fit well and sound natural with the rest of arrangement. Strong vocals, but I think they should have a little more presence. Listens well. Thank you for sharing.

Misha.

Hey David,
Great song, I can hear the hopeful desperation in your vocals.

"looking for any place on earth that sells truth instead of lies"

I'm sure this will speak to many.

Keep up the good work.

Hey thanks Marty!

I am so glad you liked it!

By the way, you are on a roll this year. All your stuff sounds great!
