So, for the last week of FAWM (February Album Writing Month) I did something VERY experimental. I think this is the most simple, and yet most musically complex song I have ever written, and BIAB was definitely a co-pilot and not a “tool” on this one. Notes and Real tracks below lyrics: https://soundcloud.com/davidsnyderfawm2022/kings-and-queensFor James Taylor fans: https://soundcloud.com/davidsnyderfawm2022/james-taylor-sayshttps://soundcloud.com/davidsnyderfawm2022The song goes from a verse in A to a chorus in Em and back again. Not quite sure where this came from but I have been learning the hard version of Moonlight Sonata on guitar (more than 50 chord movements as far as I can tell, so far) so that might have something to do with it. It also might have some Beatles type stuff going on, not sure. Anyway, here it is and the others I have done are all in the channel. For my last one I think I might do something called “Goodbye Fawming Friends” which will be an ode to Elton John. KINGS AND QUEENS By David Snyder V1 I wish that I could take you back to another place in time perhaps we were just younger then or in a different frame of mind the skies were clear no sound of war a world of reasons just to smile and in your eyes the morning light came sparkling for just a little while CH I wish I could protect our hearts from all the poison in these days but until I can I'll just play our song and we'll close our eyes and sing along and say a prayer that it won't take long before these kings and queens are gone V2 I wish that I could promise you that things will not get worse but sometimes it takes us all fighting back to break this kind of curse and I wish that I could hold you now I need to feel your heart the thing I hate the most about this place is how much it tears us all apart CH I wish I could protect our hearts from all the poison in these days but until I can I'll just play our song and we'll close our eyes and sing along and say a prayer that it won't long before these kings and queens are gone All music and lyrics copyright 2022 by David Snyder ASCAP/Day of Faith Records.

It's a cracker David,
it makes the month effort worth while just for the 1st verse....but we have the chorus and the lyrics that add even more to the BAM.
The bass seems misplaced to me but I can hear this song fitting into the sorts of arrangements on Leonard Cohen's "I'm Your Man" particularly "1st They Take Manhattan" OR REM's version of that song even more so.
Cheers

NOTHING LEFT TO LOSE
I've got some catching-up to do. And that is certainly worth doing...
That devil living inside your head knows how to spit out some killer lyrics.
I'm envious.
Did you pick him up at a crossroads somewhere?
I need that address.
Back for more later.

THE SCOTTISH SONG.
HA! HA! HA!
Not a fan of Scottish Folk songs (hate 'em, actually), but this is the best one I ever heard (the parts I understand, anyway)

I liked that.... but..... I dug into the list of FAWM tunes..... The Scottish tune was hilarious..... loved the writing. And of course the accent was killer.....and verse 3 with following chorus....and I quote V3
Bha peant lionn aig Molly
thog i air a chroit ??
agus chuir Seamus 'eudach air
le barrachd air poitean ghiomach?
CH
agus chan e dùthaich mhàthaireil a th’ ann an Èirinn??
agus Sasainn faodaidh e grodadh???
agus faodaidh tu falbh uair-eigin do Chanada ???
mas e Albannach eireachdail a th’ annad?
couldn't agree more ! I can't even fathom how to begin pronouncing some of those words..... but.... cool song.

That's a cool sound David! You definitely were getting outside of the box with the rhythm bed and it's lovely! Thanks, Torrey

Kings and QueensGreat write … sounds like a lost cut from a CSN&Y Album. James Taylor SaysYou definitely captured the vibe of many of his tunes. And we have listened for decades. The Scottish Song“Note: It was hard to make out what the drinking Scots were saying, but I did my best” We think you did the lads justice Fun. J&B

Loved the chord progressions David. Made the song so interesting. Really draws you in. Super delicate vocal and lyric and the acoustic in the background wow. Up there with one of my favorite tunes of yours. Well done..

Nice Job.
I can't put my finger on it but, it's got a nostalgic sound to my ear.
Cool!

Floyd, I would not suggest signing the paperwork at the crossroads. You will end up working at a very weird place. I can't get specific but it is located in a place they called D.C.

Hi David,
Wow!!!
This is fantastic. It's really engaging on listening. I love everything about it. If this is what you call "experimental", please keep on experimenting!
All the best,
Noel
