Details Below Lyrics. https://soundcloud.com/david-snyder-gigs/secret-town Secret Town By David Snyder V1 I hear the rain coming down in your secret town I see the writing on the wall In your secret town I can almost see it all In your secret town I think the night’s about to fall In your secret town Here comes the young girl Looking for a lover Who’ll discover everything Here comes the highway Just like a tinderbox To make your mind go up in flames CH A minor miracle The grace to make a choice In these secret games A minor miracle The grace to make a choice V2 Here comes the dark horse Painted like the white horse In your secret town Here comes the stardust competing with the dirt and rust In your secret town Here comes the rebel He thinks he’s only human He’d give his heart to anything Just tender mercies These loves among the ruins Don’t you think I feel the same CH A minor circumstance The chance to place a bet On these secret games A minor miracle The chance to place a bet On your secret name Outro Do you want me to spell it out for you Do you want me to spell it put for you I love your secret town, I love your secret town I want to walk with you, hand in hand in hand in hand In your Secret Town All music and lyrics copyright David Snyder/Day of Faith Publishing (ASCAP) **** Song Summary *********** Title: Secret Town Key=C , Tempo 142, Length (m:s)=4:21 Style is _TAKEOFF.STY (Takeoff Alternative Pop Rock) David Snyder, Telecasters, Acoustic, Lead and Backing Vocals RealTracks in style: 1522:Bass, Electric, PopPower8s Ev 120 Loop in Song: House-Techno-Trance\House - crunchy_120_drums ev16.wav RealTracks in style: 1524:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm PopPowerPushClean Ev 120 RealTracks in style: 1527:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm PopPowerBrightClean Ev 120 RealTracks in song: 1263:Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm PopShiningSync Ev 120 RealTracks in style: 691:Guitar, Acoustic, Strumming AcRockBright Ev 120 RealDrums in style: BluesRockEv^1-a:Snare, HiHat , b:Snare, Open HiHat David Snyder Songwriter/Renaissance Man Studio + Fingers https://davidsnydersongs.com/ https://spoti.fi/359Gigs www.davidsnydermusic.com/ www.reverbnation.com/davidpsnyder www.soundcloud.com/davidsnyderchannel https://www.songtradr.com/user/profile/david.snyder

The mix is good - though I did want the drums to have a bit more "pop" and the piano to be a bit "crisper" (just personal preferences on my part). Cool song. Sometimes left me wondering what it was referring to, but cool images throughout... fj 150+ Songs produced using BIAB RealTracks And 50 more... and some more...

OP David Snyder Veteran Joined: Aug 2014 Posts: 8,232 North Carolina	Floyd, I think I told you I spent an entire evening sitting on the top of a burned out Pinto with Michael Stipe when R.E.M. had just started out and he gave me his opinion on rock and roll. He told me that if the lyrics make sense, it's not rock and roll, basically. He told me that country was supposed to make sense but rock and roll was supposed to be more like "stuff you remember from a dream" or something like that. Then a drunk cowboy wandered up to the car and started talking about his last two years working on the pipeline in Alaska. Michael Stipe pulled a cheap K-Mart notebook out of his pocket and wrote down every word, including the part about God telling the cowboy not to listen to Elvis. I don't think I've ever been to a better lyric writing workshop. And I was doing my very best here not to make much sense.

You have a wide range of ideas and melodies that leave us guessing what's next but you never disappoint. Enjoyed this.

Lyrics are very engaging but cryptic, and the sound is infectious. Love the way you change the melody as you go through the song but keep the feel that holds it together. You continue to do some awesome stuff!! Take care. Greg

I would have made the drums bigger and I would have brought the choruses up in pitch as well as a guitar solo after the first chorus. Of course these are all personal preferences as it works fine as is. Another fine creative endeavor. Tom
