Hey Folks,

Well, this just kinda came to me one day and so I did it. Some of it is experimental in that there are two guitars in the wall of guitars that are "melodic." Not typically done, though other folks have done it: The Cure, Echo and the Bunnymen, etc.These guitars play melodic phrases during the chorus, while the vocal has a different melody. I think it works. It did achieve the anthemic effect I was looking for anyway, and so I would not go back and make it less busy. I tried less busy and it did not have the same soaring vibe or stadium feel.

Hope you like it. It was fun to do

TO STAND AS ONE
By David Snyder

https://soundcloud.com/david-snyder-gigs4/to-stand-as-one

V1

And when the fighting is silenced
And the thunder is gone
I will lie in your arms
And we will be one
Just the sound of your breathing
Well let me know that we've survived
And then we will cross over
To the other side

CH

Oh we can do so much better than this
We can hold one another in a heavenly kiss
And we can sing the songs of joy
That we have left unsung
If we could only learn
To stand as one

V2

On the banks of a river
I will brush back your hair
And put a kiss on your lips
And forget we are here
Though we walk through the valley
Of the shadow of death
Our love will stand by us
So I say we are blessed

CH

Cause we can do so much better than this
We can hold one another in a heavenly kiss
And we can sing the songs of joy
That we have left unsung
If we could only learn
To stand as one

CH2

We could hold one another
We could love one another
We could undo every evil
that has ever been done
We could trust one another
We could forgive one another
If we could only learn to stand as one
If we could only learn to stand as one
