Knowing that he might have to be away from the Band in a Box Forum for almost a week because of the indignity of having to work for a living, David Snyder played one last pre-final, almost final, prelude to a series of almost final concerts by playing to 100,000 fans in a surprise appearance somewhere on the outskirts of Nashville, Tennessee. https://soundcloud.com/david-snyder-gigs2/nashville-rainFor the encore, he played Nashville Rain, surrounded by a chorus of angels, in honor of his Band in a Box peeps and many fainting, beautiful women. This is what has been called by many the greatest, and perhaps the most awesome and most epic song ever written in the history of mankind: Nashville RainBy David Snyder V1 Well I never wanted to see you Waitin’ tables at the Bluebird, girl Never wanted to see you go through that much pain I only wanted you to come to my place Take a bubble bath with some purple soap girl Never wanted to see you working for spare change No I never wanted to see you having to bend over In those tight cut off jeans just working for spare change CH In the Nashville Rain, Nashville Rain in the Nashville Rain I just never wanted to see you have to play the game In that Nashville Rain V2 You know I never wanted to see you living in a doublewide Outside of Franklin Spending all your money just to cut a song You know the devil wants to rob you blind, but you’re mine girl So I need to you to open up your mind Then close your mind And say I’m just not going to play along If all we have is some sexy music and a bubble bath girl You know that ain’t no shame, you know that ain’t no shame CH In the Nashville Rain, Nashville Rain in the Nashville Rain I just never wanted to see you play the game In that Nashville Rain Bridge: If anybody knows what I’m talking about I just want you to put your hands together because I’m about to play you the guitar girl just like I make love to you going to take you to heaven on a purple cloud and it goes a little something like this Inst.

Great work on this Dave! I really enjoyed the overall progression. The Organs are an excellent touch, they really help glue the different sections together. Very engaging lyrics too, well done!
Cheers,
Joe

Pure genius! It does sounds vaguely familiar, but heck... what country song doesn't have a girl bend over in tight cut off jeans?  When you got to the chorus, I'd have pulled my lighter from my pocket and started waving it... If I had one. But seriously, a very enjoyable listen. Great write, sung with conviction, well arranged and mixed. I don't know if the Purple One would approve (we're talking about Darkwing Duck, right?), but I certainly do.

" This is what has been called by many the greatest, and perhaps the most awesome and most epic song ever written in the history of mankind" Yeah, pretty much! So many little things coming together to make this great. The hold in the chorus just before the last "In that Nashville Rain" for example. And too many others to mention! Let me just say that I'm with David, this is pure genius. Nice guitar work too, you should play more! Love the ending!

Hey David,
If you remember, last week I told you I thought you were one of the most creative people ever to grace these forums. Well, thanks for verifying that for me.
Well composed and arranged. There are so many elements to this that work so well together. Inspired vocal and the lead guitar riff was, as our British friends would say - pants!
Tip of the sombrero, my friend. till smiling!

˦,
As you notice above...I have given you a new name. Don't try to pronounce it...you'll hurt yourself... It had to be done.
Best "big sound" you've done (so far). Cohesive. Everything works. Nice guitar...
Could not help but wave my arms in the air through the 2nd half.

And the crowd swaying and flashing their cellphone lights screamed for more as Snyder was helped off stage...he could hear their voices and the thundering applause echoing like it was literally seeping through the concrete walls in the underground parking tunnel. As he fell exhausted into his limo and was wisked away, a voice boomed over the crowd..."Ladies and Gentleman, the artist formerly known as Snyder has left the building."

Mr. Snyder, this is so amazing! I can't wait for the day that some young genius will have the inspiration to do a parody of this great song of yours! I only wish I had been in the throng of 100,000 fans that were graced with this performance.
Unfortunately I, too have been experiencing the indignity of having to work for a living, and was unable to lend my support, somewhere on the outskirts of Nashville.
(Good job!)

What a tune! I love your vocal delivery here. It is at a really unique pace, and really helps it stand out. That aside, I love how huge and lush the production is. It has a lot of power to it, and I can imagine this sounding unreal performed live. Great work here - thanks for sharing

Dear Punk Floyd,
Thank you for recognizing my new name. Because now I live in the Great Purple Palace of My Own Magnificence, I can see you out there in the crowds waving, but I will never forget the man who taught me to mix my first country song.
