So, here is another tune with me playing piano, and the guitar parts "between the cracks," so to speak. Trying to make it "groovy"...in the true sense of the word.

Hope you like it.

YOU GOT WHAT I NEED

By David Snyder

https://soundcloud.com/david-snyder-gigs3/you-got-what-i-need

V1

I need more than a voice
On my telephone
I need a place where someone needs me
A place to call home
I need more than a preacher
Tellin’ me that I’m wrong
I need someone listen
While I’m singing my song

CH

And you know all the places in me
Where I’m hurt and afraid
And nervous to see
But you listen to my heartache
Then you love me tenderly
And God knows this is heaven
Yeah you got what I need

V2

I need more than a dream
To keep me alive
I need someone to hold
So I can survive
I need more than a whisper
From up in the sky
I need a kiss on my lips
Or I will break down and die

CH

And you know all the places in me
Where I’m hurt and afraid
And nervous to see
But you listen to my heartache
Then love me tenderly
And God knows this is heaven
cause you got what I need

Inst.

CH

And you know all the places in me
Where I’m hurt and afraid
And nervous to see
But you listen to my heartache
Then love me tenderly
And God knows this is heaven
Yeah you got what I need

David,

Love this song. Sung with soul and conviction...

The production is outstanding - the BIAB bass and drums tracks are blended seamlessly with your piano and guitar parts. So nice! Perfect mix.

Again, loved it!

David,
A slight nudge to lift the vocals perhaps.
I'm not a fan of popnslap bass but the rest of the bass works well with the rhythm to give this a good groove.
I like it, yeah I do.


Cheers

David,

A good love song.
Interesting tracks.
An emphatic vocal.
Piano works.
Your guitar brought Neil Young to mind...

Another David Snyder song is just what I need. Hey, and I want to hear that Brooklyn Rain in the style of Bob Dean someday. Great idea. Piano adds so much --good choice. I'm not a fan of the busy bass either, but you make it work. Nice hook in the lyrics.


Enjoy whatever happens!

David,
Excellent arrangement & vocals. I think I am with Ray on lifting vocals a bit. Maybe slightly more reverb on vocals to sit better in mix?
Thank you for sharing,
Misha.

I like it!

But I'm too lazy to give a detailed reason why. wink

Actually, I sort of liked the bass. For me, it worked with the snappy sidestick drum.

Now, if only the vocal were a bit more artificial, that would be perfection!

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

Brilliant! I don't know why, but I hear Stevie Wonder singing this! How I got to that conclusion, don't ask me, but it's there smile Anyway, bravo. You're yourself, a real individual, a real original, not one of the bunch, so to speak. What a joy to hear.

Outstanding song, one of your best IMHO.
Super piano, guitar, and vocal.
I really liked that bass line!
Great mix also.
Another winner for sure.

Hi David,

Enjoyed this song a lot! Good lyrics, nicely sung and delicious melody.
To me the vocals were just good in the mix, just like the bass.
So, no complains at all, just a good tought because of the lyrics...

I like your song, especially the lyrics and what you do with it.
My bass choice would have been different (the pops don't fit I think) , but other than that, this is a good piece of music.

Hi David ...

What I like about all your songs is the conviction in your vocals. And your lyrics are insightful and always capture the mood of the musical soundscape - great prosody!

Nice tickling of the ivories, too. Another gem!

David...nice song...great groove...I love the drums and bass...your guitar work was tight and loved the tone...the piano was perfect with the simple chords...my only crit and this is my opinion...to me it feels like the vocals are strained a bit and a lower key might be better to find your sweet spot...now that's easy to suggest and hard to rectify after the recording is done...that's just one guys opinion and worth what it's worth...you certainly write great stuff!
