So here is a new song inspired by the last great song by Robert Dean called Visions of Woodstock. I told Bob that I got all fired up and heard another song in my head right after I finished hearing his song, and I would send him the results. Here it is Bob.  https://soundcloud.com/david-snyder-gigs/walking-backwardsI loved your lyrics so much Bob I decided to paste my here like a poetry slam or something. Dang there is some good stuff on this forum. They are also on Soundcloud. Real Tracks underneath. Have fun. Walking Backwards By David Snyder V1 A man in a Black Mercedes Just pulled on up on the row Greasy hair and diamond rings Tells me things I need to know I say tell me something lawyer How do you stand the radio Sounds like the kind of music They might be playing down below All the young kids chasing Somebody else’s schemes Repeating worn out phrases They don't even know what they mean I look up don’t see the sky Just neon everywhere Every cell in me says what the hell You know I just don’t care CH: I’m walking backwards All the way back down the hill Away from the big machine I hate working in this mill V2 Next I meet the Devil Dressed in purest white Pointing to the billboard charts And a stadium of light I say tell me something devil Something don’t feel right Your music sounds like gunfire And it’s drowning out the night And every prophet’s chasing Somebody else’s schemes Souls like scattered ashes In a world of broken dreams I look up don’t see the sky Just neon everywhere Every cell in me says this is hell And I’m getting out of here CH 2: I’m walking backwards All the way back down the hill Away from the big machine I hate working in the mill Gonna drive back to the lake all right Gonna get myself baptized Gonna kiss that pretty girl You know the one with the angel eyes I’m walking backwards Running from this scene I’m walking backwards Walking backwards to my dreams CH 3: I’m walking backwards All the way back down the hill I say to hell with your big machine I hate working in the mill Gonna drive back to the lake all right Gonna get myself baptized Gonna kiss that pretty girl You know the one with the angel eyes I’m walking backwards Running from this scene I’m walking backwards Walking backwards to my dreams All music and lyric copyright 2016 by David Snyder Title: Walking Backwards Key=D , Tempo 93, Length (m:s)=3:47 RealTracks in style: 1827:Bass, Electric, PopModernGrooveA-B Ev16 075 RealTracks in style: 1839:Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm PopModernGrooveA-B Ev16 075 RealTracks in style: 2537:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm ModernPopSlow16thsZane Ev16 075 RealTracks in style: 1828:Guitar, Acoustic, Rhythm PopModernGroove Ev16 075 RealDrums in style: PopModernGrooveSync16^6-a:Snare, HiHat , b:Snare, Ride Stratocaster and Additional Guitars: David Snyder Vocals: David Snyder

David, YES! Love it! This is my kind of song... Such cool lyrics and another tremendous vocal workout - really great stuff. The guitars and instrumentation really stand out and build on each other with some nice separation. I can easily hear Dylan, Petty or Van Morrison doing this one. Thanks again for the very nice comments on my stuff. I'm a big fan. Bob

Wow, I love this!! Have not listened to Bob's yet-coming next (actually, it just started playing-I hear that dream guitar). Yours in very Dylanesque David. Lyrics are somewhat cryptic at times but the message is clear, and I love it! Energy, mix, arrangement are wonderful. Great stuff!!! Take care. Greg

Not one backward step here David. This was pure go forward; you are moving into your slot. Your challenging your own level and enjoying it, because it’s working.
I enjoyed everything.

Hi David,
My goodness. It sounds like you really enjoyed putting this one together. The write, the performance and the production abound with enthusiasm. It's been really interesting watching your journey of the forum. One thing that's clear to me is that BIAB/RB has unleashed a whole heap of musical possibilities for you. And you seem to be chasing and catching every one of them.
All the best,
Noel

David,
A good write. Neat lyric. Good energy in the delivery and production.
I found myself wishing that you were not "sounding like Dylan". The song is good enough that you should be "sounding like David Snyder".
The guitars sound good. And the vocal is well recorded and sits nicely in the mix. The drums need some definition (maybe just volume). They get buried in the mix at times.

Dylan style and clever but cryptic lyrics..oh yeah, that's in our
wheelhouse!
It all works for us....agree with fj in that pulling up the drums would
be good. Make that cool rhythm snap.
Great energy and very enjoyable!

Hi David, I think this is my new favorite of yours... I like the energy in it, and the band sounds perfect for the song. It comes across as more than a song, almost an anthem. It's interesting to see you feeding off Bob's energy. It had never occurred to me before, but now I see a real similarity of style between you two and I think you share the same core philosophy of what good music should be made of. I heard TANGLED UP IN BLUE all through this, but I think floyd makes a good point when he says that you should sound like David Snyder more than like Bob Dylan. Having said that, I think it's impossible to sound like somebody else entirely... so if you are comfortable with some of Dylan's vocal style, spin it a bit to make it your own. Or not.. I'm just kicking ideas around, not giving advice. I thought the lyrics to this were quite good. A few lines that stood out to me were: Greasy hair and diamond rings
Tells me things I need to know I say tell me something devil
Something don’t feel right
Your music sounds like gunfire
And it’s drowning out the night The lyrics remind me of something Paul Simon might have written. Anyway, I enjoyed the listen and I'm happy to see forum members inspiring one another! Let's hope that trend continues!

Hey Floyd, Thanks man. Drums are an easy fix. Hard to get all that right the first time without other ears. Glad I have you guys!! With regard to vocals, I just sang this raw with no filters, so I would have to think about how I would approach it otherwise. But I will think about it!
