For this tune, I decided to work with another producer, Rob Meulman (of Rob and Anne-Marie :)) because he was interested in doing that, and I wanted to see what he could do!

My idea was to get as close to a David Bowie sound as I could, and Rob was the man behind the production, so this is a David Snyder song with the Rob Meulman sound. Hope you like it.

Borderline Blues

By David Snyder

Produced by Rob Meulman

V1

I’m borderline
And I have always been
Your disco lights
They draw me in
Like a bat to a cave
Like a moth to a flame
Like ashes to ashes
It’s just part of the game
From Stockholm to Paris
All the heroes we knew
Were our favorite junkies
It’s just what we do
We miss Ziggy and Jim
Janis where have you been
We are all that remains
Of a world gone insane

CH:

And I’m fighting my love
The fight of my life
Trapped in your darkness
And looking for light
And I’m fighting my love

V2

I can't say it’s a song
It’s just another loud sound
I scream out your name
But no one’s around
I cry in the rain
But I’m trapped in your pain
And no one has time
To let me explain
No one
Has time
To let me explain
And I guess that’s fine
When you’re just borderline
And fighting it off
And paying your dues
With a borderline brain
And the borderline blues

CH

And I’m fighting my love
The fight of my life
Trapped in the darkness
And looking for light
And I’m fighting my love

Inst.

CH:

And I’m fighting my love
The fight of my life
And I’m praying to your God
You’ll save me tonight
Yes I'm praying to your God
you'll save me tonight
