David and Rachel Radio 2.08.23: New Release_WIDE OPEN ROAD Hey Y'all, Here is the latest offering from Rachel and David. This week Rachel is singing again, on a new tune called Big Wide Open Road. When she was singing, I was happily picking up a Sheryl Crow vibe, so I hope you enjoy! Rachel seems to be getting some love on social media, so I am happy for her. As is our new custom, links to our recently released stuff will be in our weekly updates below the current song’s lyrics just for convenience and to eliminate the clutter—in case you missed something and are just dying to hear it.  Real tracks for this song are at the very end. BIG WIDE OPEN ROADhttps://soundcloud.com/rachelanddavidworktapes/big-wide-open-roadBy Rachel Cintula and David Snyder V1 Leaving here in the summer time living young y'all is so, so fine sun shining down On our skin with the top down Rear view showing that dusty town We’re ready for miles Spinning the radio dial Packed in rubbing hips In the car, road trip CH West towards the setting sun East towards the rising sun As long as summer is never done We’ll take the high road, low road Fast roads, slow roads Drive through all the zip codes Don’t care as long as we’re cruising The big wide open road V2 Memories capture road signs Laughter tracing painted lines Flying high on the ground Good times all around Rocking out to those summer girl sounds We’re living these miles We got endless smiles Girl what a trip All I can say is, this is epic! CH West towards the setting sun East towards the rising sun As long as summer is never done We’ll take the high road, low road Fast roads, slow roads Drive through all the zip codes On this big wide open road BR I don’t know if I ever will Get tired of driving Chasing endless thrills I may hit some bad boy trouble But I’ll deal with it you know I will You know I will CH West towards the setting sun East towards the rising sun As long as summer is never done We’ll take the high road, low road Fast roads, slow roads Drive through all the zip codes Don’t care as long as we’re cruising The big wide open road All lyrics and music copyright 2023 by Rachel Cintula and David Snyder Rachel Cintula: Vocals David Snyder: Instrumentation, Arrangement, Mixing, Mastering Rachel Cintula: Vocals David Snyder: Arrangement, instrumentation, mixing and mastering https://soundcloud.com/rachelanddavidworktapes/big-wide-open-roadOther links for the week and month: https://soundcloud.com/rachelanddavidworktapes/when-it-rainshttps://soundcloud.com/rachelanddavidworktapes/thick-thighshttps://soundcloud.com/rachelanddavidworktapes/church-girlshttps://soundcloud.com/david-snyder-gigs3/one-more-whiskey-songhttps://soundcloud.com/david-snyder-gigs3/dirty-hands-clean-moneyhttps://soundcloud.com/david-snyder-gigs3/dire-straitshttps://soundcloud.com/rachelanddavidworktapes/creek-dayhttps://soundcloud.com/david-snyder-gigs3/make-me-love-again** RealTracks in style: 3565:Bass, Electric, NashvilleRadioShuffleAB Sw 110 RealTracks in style: 4047:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm NashvilleShuffleGritBrent Sw 110 RealTracks in style: 4051:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm NashvilleShuffleRiff Sw 110 RealTracks in style: 4049:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm NashvilleShuffleGrittyLicksBrent Sw 110 RealDrums in style:NashvilleShuffle^11-a:Brushes , b:Snare, Ride

David, you've unearthed a real gem for us, here. Bravo.
Rachel: superb. Carry on :-)
Great job, both of you. So well written, so well performed, so well arranged. Yes, the Sheryl Crow vibe is DEFINITELY there :-)
If I'm to be EXTREMELY picky: a little variation (light and shade, just a little more) in your tone of voice, Rachel, would be (for me - what do I know? haha) just perfect? But carry on as you are, if you so wish to, of course ... this is brilliant :-)
Congrats :-)

Musician17, My thanks always to David for his arrangements AND for pushing me to grow in this industry, especially in the area of singing. It definitely took less courage to sing this song. Tomorrow, I plan to step up to the microphone as a total diva. Cheers!

That's a good song. Nice work from both of you two
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.

Hi David and Rachel,
I've been enjoying these collaborations! And very nice to hear Rachel sing this one, lovely voice.
Definitely getting the Sheryl Crow vibe from this, and that's a good thing!
Very good song, good writing and choice of instrumentation.
Mix wise I think Rachel could be a little louder, there are a couple of spots where she is overpowered by the backing track. Or perhaps just a volume envelope to bring up the vocal during those spots would do the trick.
Looking forward to hearing more from you two!

Oh, such a good write, and I really love Rachel's vocal in there. You guys are so versatile in writing what sounds so good. Yes, I ditto what Dave said about the vocal track sometimes getting overpowered. The lyrics are fun and enjoyable like the ride y'all suggest. That chorus is my favorite. All those directions and you show it's all about the Big Wide Open Road.

Dave,
Thank you for your kind words regarding my voice. I never thought of myself as a singer, so it is a new direction for me.

Marty, David and I frequently have discussions about how loud I am. I think I am very quiet and he says I'm louder than I think. Thank you for listening and commenting!

David you said the Realtracks are at the end but the realstars are at the beginning!
Rachel you have a great voice so it shouldn't be hidden in the mix. Tell David to turn up your volume.
This is a super song that only need a tad more volume on the vocal to be an outstanding song.
Have you ever noticed there are no lines to a bathroom at a water park?

Good song with good vocals and good production, it's easy to hear that Rachel is getting more comfortable with her vocals. For my taste the song has a bit too much words (per minute, WPM  ), at some places Rachel almost fights for breath and loses intensity. Give her more room to play with her voice and it will be even better.

MarioD, I was telling David yesterday that for me, what we put out is about the music and the lyrics, not my singing. I didn't know I would be singing so much as a songwriter.

Hey thanks everyone who has commented so far. I know it means a lot to Rachel. That vocal bump is a very easy fix.

Hi, David and Rachel. Nice song! There are a few places where that vocal bump is needed, but I blame the musicians - it's their job not to play over the singer!

David and Rachel,
Another impressive collaboration. Yes, the write and the vocal have a very Sheryl Crow feel to it, and the music bed only enhances that feel. Really well done! Keep the collabs coming . . . love what I’m hearing from you two.
My best to you both,
Deej
