So, this is an older song of mine, which I decided to re-do now that I have better tools. In the first verse I have nothing but classical guitar right and left and vocals. Then I slowly start lying in the other stuff, but keeping it all compact and subdued with very careful instrument choices. Hope you enjoy it. LOVE AT LAST

Intro sounds a little like Tears in Heaven.
Excellent job on the guitars, David! Great tone and technique. And this has to be one of the best vocals I've heard from you.
Nice arrangement, nice mix, but most importantly, great song.
Loved it!

David, so many good things to say here, but LOVE your arrangement and the steady dynamic build. And the lingering guitar note at the end is very cool. Also, everything just SOUNDS great. Super song content and really strong vocals are what makes this work though. Very nice!! *Edit* Almost forgot to say your guitar work is really clean, musical and fun to listen to.

What a wonderfully creative build, and I really like this song a lot, David. Yep. Listened 3 times now to be sure, but this is now my all-time favorite David Snyder song.

Hey Thanks Dave! Yeah I can't tell you how many times I listened to those side by side.  The picking pattern (and notes) are different and the melody of the first part of verse 1 is completely different in both notes and phrasing, and once you get to Part II of the verse structure it is totally different, chords and everything. It also has 2 Pre-Choruses, kind of, or a 3-part structure in the verses anyway, And the CH is totally different. Glad you liked it man!!! And I will take a "sounds like Eric Clapton" any day! Thank you!

Hey thanks Bob!
Appreciate that man!
Yeah I've been getting more and more into the classical guitar as a main instrument now, as I'm beginning to enjoy the piano more and more as well.
It's also beginning to occur to me that vocals are something that you have to spend a lot more time on then you would think!!

David, IMHO this is your best to date.
Super vocal and lyrics
Loved the intro and how you brought in the other instruments.
You have raised the bar with this one.

David,
It's a wonderful write and terrific arrangement. In that regard, I like the build . . . starting simple and just adding along the way, which adds so much gravity to the tune as it moves on. From a production standpoint, I think the vocal is a bit too far out in front . . . I'd like it just a bit softer. Though that's an artistic preference . . . as always, go with what feels right to you.

First thought: Bob Dylan, but a better singing voice The song is superb. I agree with Deej ... the voice could be just a TAD less forward, softer, somehow. But who cares ... it's a superb song, superbly done. Every time I listen to a song of yours, I'm guaranteed originality and sincerity, at the very least. Then, of course, great expertise in how to actually craft a song - but that comes after, for me Anyway, long story short: BRAVO. WELL DONE. Hats off to you, sir.

The opening is so raw and emotional.
Nice build!
A worthwhile "trip back".
Do some more!

Hey thanks DC. Appreciate that brother.
Yes I love playing that classical guitar for sure it's just a very enjoyable experience, and it kind of makes everything flow if you start writing a song while you're playing.
I'm kind of bonded with that old guitar!
🙂
Thanks for the listen my friend and all the kind words!

The opening with your classical guitar is lovely.
The build sounds good as does the entire mix.
Great SOULFUL vocal.
The sentimental fool Janice loves the lyric!

Another "bigger than the universe" song by DS and what a delight it is. Classic. Not just because of the classical guitar, but the whole build-up is heavenly from the piano to the strings. And the lyrics keep in the subject all the time with a magnifying beauty. Very heartfelt vocals and the guitar playing is superb.

Excellent production technique. Each instrument is added for a calculated effect in the mix. Majestic and satisfying build. Love the lyrics and melody.

HI David,
What a gorgeous song and production. I love building layers in a song. And, you brought in the perfect ones at just the right time. So, what's not to like? Absolutely nothing. You outdid yourself. A new favorite of yours for me.
Well done!

Hi David.
These lyrics really resonated with you and, coupled with such a excellent arrangement and performance, took me on a great journey. This was definitely worthy or a revisit and what a great outcome!
All the best,

Nicely done. It's good to have quality songs from the old days that you can pull into the here and now and they sound relevant.
I enjoyed it.

David...first off the intro is is fantastic...the simplicity of the song is beautiful...the progression of the accompaniment is very tasteful and fitting all round...lyrically stellar...sometimes the older songs we've allowed to get lost in the closet are the gems we need to dig for...lovely!

HI David,
Totally loved it! Almost any songs that builds in layers as the song progresses from one section to the next always has my ear. ech new layer comes in so gently it's hardly noticed at the moment. then you suddenly realize the strength of the work filling every square inch of the soundstage.
Great lyric
Passionate vocal
Super delivery
Stunningly good mix.
Sweet!
Alan
