So peeps, I wanted a hooky as you know what keyboard hook on this tune because I had a talk with Hear to Learn about writing some hooks. So, I called up my buddy and bandmate Jon Healey in LA and asked him to lay down some keyboard hooks old school.

And he did it.

Just so you know in advance, I am going to bump this like 1,000 times now that the forum is back in order.

Every Day I Write a Hook
By David Snyder

Intro

Yeah I’m taking over country
Taking over country, yeah

V1

Well it’s time for great Britain to
take over Music Row
Tell the boys on 16th avenue
Where they can go
They can put it in a place where the sun doesn’t shine
Cause one of these days
The cutest girls will be mine
Might be from Liverpool
But baby I’m no fool
Cause I can write the hits that make the big girls drool

CH:

And every day, every day
Every day I write a hook
Every day, every day, every day
And when Taylor Swift hears this
I’ll get the sweetest kiss
and a pouty look, a pouty look
Cause every day, every day I write the hook

V2

Well you know that John and Paul
They wouldn’t stand for this
Crap music on the radio
That’s always hit or miss
They would ring up up George Martin head out for Abbey Road
They only need four tracks
To show the rednecks what they know
And I might not be in fashion
But baby I’m no fool
Cause I can write the hits that will send you back to school

CH:

And every day, every day
Every day I write a hook
Every day, every day, every day
And when Taylor Swift hears this
I’ll get the sweetest kiss
And a pouty look, a pouty look
Cause every day, every day I write a hook

Bridge

And I don’t need to drive
A big ugly truck
To prove that I’m a man
And if you played baseball
In high school
You know I don’t give a damn
Cause…

CH:

Every day, every day
Every day I write a hook
Every day, every day, every day
And when Taylor Swift hears this
I’ll get the sweetest kiss
And a pouty look, a pouty look
Cause every day, every day
Every day I write a hook

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Sorry, I thought it was an intentional reference to Elvis' Costello's Every Day I Write the Book.

Chorus:
And I'm giving you a longing look
Everyday
Everyday
Everyday
Everyday I write the book.

Well gee Dave, ya know I never thought of that!!!!!

Anyway, the chords are different and the notes are completely different, and the phrasing is different so I think I am safe.

There is a nod, of course, that is part of the joke.

Thanks beatmaster.

For it to be a dead copy the notes have to be the same and they are not.

Thanks for the feedback!!!!

A hint of mid career Dylan in this, apart from the voice of course. grin I particularly enjoyed the chorus.

Don't ask me why -- cuz it makes no sense -- but for some ineffable reason this sounds to me like Sam the Sham meets Bob Dylan. I couldn't stop listening . . .

Who is this Elvis you speak of?


I was thinking, this needed a hip hop groove and a rapper.

Really well done, David! Great groove, and a really powerful vocal performance. I thoroughly enjoyed the lyrics too. Not to mention, I think that hook is going to be stuck in my head for a while too.

Thanks for sharing smile

Hello, David

Very catchy song!
Your vocal with Dylan feel is perfect for this song.
The riff of keyboard is really nice.
I've watched Elvis' Costello's "Every Day I Write the Book" on Youtube now.
I think your song is quite different from it.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

Very different tune David. Really liked the backtrack and super vocal and lyric. The synth had a pretty cool sound to it...
