Well,

I just could not stand idly by and let Robert Dean be the only guy using Beat Box this month, so I starting fooling around and did something totally goofy.

https://soundcloud.com/david-snyder-gigs/earth-odyssey

The tracks in the bed are all beatbox.style but I added a bunch of other acoustic and electric guitars with about a hundred effects.

Just having fun. Just having fun. I hope no one gets an eye poked out. smile


Lyrics and tracks below, lyrics also on SoundCloud

Earth Odyssey
By David Snyder

V1

You say you’re tired of the pain
And you’re tired of the rain
And you’re tired of playing
The same old games again and again
You're tired of staring out into space
waiting for something to change
Well that makes two of us
Like ashes to ashes in a world of dust

CH:

And we could have been heroes
Like Sergeant Pepper and Major Tom
Yeah we could have been heroes
Like Sergeant Pepper and Major Tom
But I’m afraid my love
That now we’ll never know
I knew it this morning when I turned on the radio

V2

You say you tired of facing the night
And you’re tired of waiting for dawn
You say you’re afraid of the shadows
Afraid of the light
Afraid of everything that’s gone wrong
Well, that’s makes two of us

CH

And we could have been heroes
Like Sergeant Pepper and Major Tom
Yeah we could have been heroes
Like Sergeant Pepper and Major Tom
But I’m afraid my love
We will never know
I knew it this morning when I turned on the radio

V3

So you tired of the pain
And you’re tired of the rain
And you’re tired of the same old games again and again
Well that makes two of us
We just need something
And someone else to trust
We just need something
And someone else to trust

David,

I just tried to listen, but SoundCloud says the track cannot be found - I'll try again later.

David,

It worked ok for me.

I enjoyed this. The lyrics are very evocative. The line "Like ashes to ashes in a world of dust" really appealed to me. Your creativity continues zooming along at the speed of light!

All the best,
Noel

David,

I just tried again - worked for me this time.

I really love what you've done here - a new favorite of your songs for me. Great lyrics and I'm really into the Bowie-esque delivery... Also love the beatbox with the acoustic sounds. smile

Thanks Bob, I was typing a thank you note when a huge lightning bolt knocked out the city of Raleigh. Thank God all my equipment is plugged into surge protector power strips that are all then plugged into a master surge protector (Military Grade, $200 variety) so I won't lose my band in a box songs!!!

And because of a backup router power module I can sent out one more email!!

Been drawing a lot of inspiration from you and everyone else Bob! Thanks for the great material.

Got to go light a candle now. Catch you guys on the other side!!!

Maybe should have been Earth Oddity-very Bowie! I really like it!! The style is very cool, and the mix sounds very big and analog. Great job with everything-song, vocals, and production!! Take care. Greg

Well done, David.

A very solid mix on this - your best ever, I think. Everything sits right where it should. The simple guitar run/lead that you have at the end of the chorus is a GREAT touch! The vocal is mixed perfectly, too...

Interesting write - keeps your interest throughout.

Y'all are tearin' up that beatbox thang...

Hi David, you continue to be innovative, imaginative, and when you compress all that into a musical box, you come up with something like this, a little masterpiece.
