STEELY DAN

A while back, I posted a tune called Dire Straits, which was supposed to sound like...mmmmm. I forgot. Anyway, I now have done one I call Steely Dan. I forget who it is supposed to sound like.

By the way, I have almost run out of space (again!!!) on soundcoud so will soon be making a permanent switch to ReverbNation and www.davidsnydersongs.com.

So the soundcloud link will be here, but the "transition" links will be below.

Hope it makes you smile at least. I am playing piano, bass, and 3 guitars (two rhythms and a lead), but I was inspired by and started with some jazz sounds in the XtraPro styles Pak4, which include additional Real Tracks. They seem to have a really modern, legit sound to them. (* In other words, I studied what the BIAB artists were doing and then proceeded to copy them, or interpret the style myself, as it were. This is another huge learning advantage to BIAB, I think. Listen to people who know what they're doing and study them.)

V1

Give me the red pill sugar
To set me free
I may take the blue pill later
So I can sleep
It’s fine all right
If the world lasts one more night
Although New York City is burning
The house party is in sight

CH:

And the girls don’t care what you’re doing
As long as you do it all night long
And the girls will give it all to you
If you play their favorite song
And just
Be man
Keep it up and have a plan
Make it jazzy if you can
If your skin has a deeper tan
play some Steely Dan

V2

Find me some politicians
To treat me nice
Give me some sweet molasses
And banana spice
It’s fine all right
If the world lasts one more night
My house is owned by China
But the party is in sight

CH:

And the girls don’t care what you’re doing
As long as you do it all night long
And the girls will give it all to you
If you play their favorite song
And just
Be man
Keep it up and have a plan
Make it jazzy if you can
If your skin has a deeper tan
play some Steely Dan
The girls are tight
yeah the girls are tight
so be a man
and play some Steely Dan
