David, this one has it all! Tremendous effort - love everything about it...

Well Heaven Knows that was different! Yep different AND well produced.  Bet a lot of work went into it!  J&B

Here is a tune written with my electronica songwriting buddy and longtime friend Jon Healey who has a day job as a columnist with the LA Times.

It is from an album of this genre we will put out in the spring titled Heaven Knows. Have fun. Lyrics follow.

Shaky Ground
By David Snyder and Jon Healey

Verse

Who can love you
More than you do
Who can?
I ask who?
I thought you knew

Chorus
I thought you knew
I thought you knew
This game is through

Verse
Breaking the turtle’s shell
Walking on shaky ground
Crawling the ocean floor
Making my way up town


Chorus:
Shaking me up
Shaking me down
Shaking me up
Shaking me down
Shaking me down
In this shanty town
In this shanty town
Shaky ground

Verse

Over the wall
Into the sand
Together we fall
Hand in hand
Over the wall
Man to man
Together we fall
Hand in hand
Promises made
No heaven up here
Yes we can
Nothing to fear

Chorus

Fifty shades
Fifty shades of grey
No sign of night
No sign of day
No sign of night
No sign of day
No sign of day

Shaky Ground

EL QUE CANTA SUS PENAS ESPANTA/ Singing is a way of removing problems or worries from one’s mind.
In other words Shit happens, but singing helps

Wie Zingt  Verjaagt Zijn Pijn

I LOVE YOU WHEN IT RAINS

 you and me behind the barn
 storm clouds on the way
 hear that thunder
 bring it on, i pray
 we kiss... it's lightning
 those first drops begin to fall
 i've got you right where i want you, girl
 my back against the wall

    &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;i love you when it rains 
    &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a river flowing through your hair
    &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;seeing you drenched in that old t shirt
    &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;i bought you at the fair
    &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;don't mind a sunny day
    &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;but making love this way
    &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;you drive me crazy insane
    &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;god... i love you when it rains

 kiss your neck, kiss your nose
 kiss your body from your head to your toes
 girl, my love
 grows and grows and grows
 tell me what you want
 should we run for cover, safe, inside
 or we can do it all right here
 whatever you decide

    &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;i love you when it rains 
    &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a river flowing through your hair
    &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;seeing you drenched in that old t shirt
    &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;i bought you at the fair
    &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;don't mind a sunny day
    &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;but making love this way
    &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;you drive me crazy insane
    &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;god... i love you when it rains

 let the heavens open wide
 let it rain
 let it rain
 let it rain

    &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;i love you when it rains 
    &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a river flowing through your hair
    &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;seeing you drenched in that old t shirt
    &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;i bought you at the fair
    &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;don't mind a sunny day
    &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;but making love this way
    &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;you drive me crazy insane
    &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;god... i love you when it rains
