So for this one, I did something different. I plugged an acoustic in to Real Band and just sang whatever came into my head on the first take. I gave absolutely no thought to it. Just having fun. Then I went back and added all the other stuff and then typed up what I had sung. Raw and undiluted and mostly live off the top of my head for better or worse. This is very close to the "live" sound I had in one of my first bands.

David,
Nice freestylo!
I like perspective of: "Does this really need to rhyme?"
A nice continuation in tradition of mr.B.D.
Clear, open mix. I wish harmonica be a little louder in the middle.
Misha.

Ah, you are capturing the essence of the procedures many FAWMers use to create their 14 or more songs in 28 days... Just plug in a microphone & go for it... After the "February Album Writing Month" is over, you end up with a bunch of songs you can either throw away or refine... David, I think "Closing Time" is definitely a keeper you can refine for a future release... And I bet you had fun recording it!

Why not indeed! It's amazing to me that you can come up with lyrics like this right off the top of your head. Could have been on the Blonde on Blonde album. Good stuff, David, I like the energy and feel of this track.

We certainly agree with the Blonde on Blonde comment...like a lost track from the session.
It has a cool mystique that's enhanced by the poetic (but overly so) lyric and the engaging vocal and band.
Well done Mr Snyder!

Wherever this came from...keep doing it! This is superb. Both the song and the production, vocal and mix... I don't think more needs to said than that. fj

Mr. Dylan ..oh..sorry.. David Snyder, This is just an excellent song. If this is just an experiment, I think you have set a very high standard for your future releases. Looking forward to that! Thank you for sharing! Will

Gotta love those experiments that seem to work.
And this one did.
You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

As others have said, this is an experiment that definitely paid off. I found it very engaging to listen to.
All the best,

I am amazed at all the lyrical nuggets in this song, especially since you sang whatever came to your head. Besides the aforementioned Dylan, I think it's a bit like Rodriguez. Good stuff, Maynard!

David, you have got to be joking us! If you can throw that together off the cuff you have got some serious creative skills on display! I respect and appreciate your talent man!! Thanks, Torrey

David,
This has a great "top of mind" feel...
Could be a lost song from the Basement Tapes. Excellent instrumentation and mix as well.
Loved it!
Bob

David, Wow, right off the top of your head with this song - I think Dylan himself would be impressed. Great sounding mix. Whatever you're using on your vocal chain these days I'm impressed,

Very cool David!! There is some abstractness but it really holds together well. Many of my favorite songs are pretty abstract. I frequently get the catalyst for a song by singing stream of consciousness but I only get a little piece and have to fill it out with a good deal of effort. You have put together something really cool here in one artistic purge!! Great stuff!! Take care. Greg
