Ok, I always make it a habit to try and post a song on my birthday like Floyd and Tom so here it is. A totally sappy love song.

For my new year, I decided to totally sell out to the man and start writing pop--for the women. No more cryptic messages from me. I am turning over a new leaf.

https://www.reverbnation.com/davidpsnyder/song/29792825-falling

No mysterious or abstract lyrics here, just straight up Elvis and Paul McCartney. The piano is a real track, but I converted it to midi and ran it through the Abbey Road Grand by Garritan. Get ready for an overload of cheese y'all, but hopefully it will be good cheese.

Falling

By David Snyder

V1

Look into my eyes
I guess you’re not surprised
That I'm blown away
There’s no one else like you
So what else can I do
But say what I have to say

CH

I'm falling
Falling in love with you
I'm falling
Falling in love with you
with you

V2

Listen to my voice
You can tell I have no choice
Cause I am swept away
I see it in your smile
You know that in a while
You’ll hear what you know anyway

CH

I'm falling
Falling in love with you
I'm falling
Falling in love with you
with you

Bridge:

And I would cross a burning bridge
On my hands and knees
Just to get to you
Never looking back
What else in the world
Do you expect me to do
don't you know

CH

I'm falling
Falling in love with you
I'm falling
Falling in love with you
with you

This was really nice David. Loved the piano. Excellent vocal and really cool backtrack. Loved your lyrics as well.

Well done.

David, you old softie!

This is just so outstandingly good on every level.

Possibly the best vocal I have ever heard from you, man, during the chorus especially! Fabulous!

Happy birthday BTW smile

Really well done! Very pretty, and very easy on the ears. Your vocal performance sounds sincere as well, and to boot that chorus is wonderfully catchy.

Happy Birthday too - thanks for sharing smile


Cheers,
Deryk

Happy birthday David, and be glad that I am not John Lennon, HA, but, there is nothing wrong with another love song. Excellent song, soaking wet, but excellent.

Happy Birthday!

Yummy cheese. Simple write and arrangement, which is harder than it seems.

You're promising a year's worth of cheese? Bring it on!

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

Filly agree! Cheese is, indeed, yummy! Just had a roast beef and pepper-jack cheese sandwich with horseradish mustard! Still salivating. smile

This is really good, David - super good! A little cheesy sap here and there is good for us. Your vocal was splendid - that chorus sparkles. Nothing not to like here - everything is so cool it has frost hanging from it. Nice! Happy birthday!!! cool

David,

An excellent "simple love song".

Nice arrangement, vocal and mix. Well done.

Happy Birthday, dude!

PS... you said you "converted" the RealTrack of the piano. There is a MIDI SuperTrack for this piano. If you aren't using those, Man!, you need to be grabbing them. No "conversion" required - they are already MIDI - use whatever piano/instrument you chose....

Now that is good and commercial/ catchy some say "simple".


That is clever writing as you already know.

Look at songs like tiger feet from a band called mud.

In all honesty what songs do you remember.

Happy birth day buddy what age are you anyway ?.

David,
Wow,I enjoyed this very much- your inner Harry Nilsson should be unleashed more often!
Sweet vocal that soars in the right places.
A tender ballad - not at all mushy.
