How Do I Know (MASHUP)

RON SNYDER - How Do I Know (MASHUP)

The other girl

BPM: 110

This instrumental is inspired to the sound of the eighties. I kept the electric bass quite high in the mix, adding some chorus effect over 200Hz to enhance the sound of the string.
I used several tracks of Strat to create the main texture of the composition, using arpeggios and strummed parts through chorus and delay.
The drums are programmed and based on the Downbeat Kit available for AKAI MPC here: https://www.mpc-samples.com/product.php/291/the-downbeat-kit/. 
The drum samples are organized in round robin groups to give a natural feel to the drums part.

A lead guitar plays nice melodies over a simple backing track (drums, bass, keyboards). Vocals are so last millennium, this is the modern nice music were the guitar speaks to those who know how to listen. Play it once, why not play it again?! Four times you listen to this and then you want to listen to it again. As they used to say back in the day: turn on, tune in, drop out!

The Really Nice Guitar Speaks

Strange In Between

Still in between this life, this dream, this everything, this nothing is blank
I am waiting here, wading here, fading here, falling away
Taken by this consciousness, coincidence, I'm holding my breath
I am frozen in this delicate, this decadent, this elegant dance

What have I become?
What have I done?

Everyone is watching, they're waiting for something, so push me to break me, and pray I come crashing down.

These slow motion symptoms of cruel premonitions, this haze
I am sleeping here, lost in here, wondering what this all means.
I'm counting the moments that slipped through my hands and I pray that these thoughts that elude me, consume me, can save me someday.

What have I become
What have I done

Everyone is watching, they're waiting for something, so push me to break me, and pray I come crashing down.

Run away, run away.
If I could run away from here.  
I'd never turn back

Run away, run away
If I could run away from you
I'd never look back

Strange In Between

This is the first song I ever wrote that I remember..from back in 1994.

Water

Verse 1
Time passes by as slowly as winter today
Too much on my mind and I can’t seem to find my way

Pre-Chorus
It’s never any fun
When you’re the only one

Chorus
You’d kill me if you could but I’m too young to die
You see right through me so I can’t run and hide
Step on a crack and I’m fading away
Okay, ooh, water

Verse 2
Prismed eyes shatter and my nerves are paralyzed with fear
Deep inside my head something snaps and then nothing’s there

Pre-Chorus
I can’t escape this pain
It’s with me every day

Chorus
You’d kill me if you could but I’m too young to die
You see right through me so I can’t run and hide.
Step on a crack and I’m fading away
Okay, ooh, water

Bridge

Verse 3
Time passes by and I spread like ash in the wind
Still life simplified and I find a way to deal with it.

Pre-Chorus
I try to wash away the pain
I’ll never be the same

Chorus
You’d kill me if you could but I’m too young to die
You see right through me so I can’t run and hide
Step on a crack and I’m fading away
Okay, ooh, water

Serendipity, serendipity
Serendipity, serendipity

Through the valley of chance
Whispers of fate, guiding our hearts
Guiding our hearts as we ascend
Through the ebb and flow of time
In the labyrinth of our lives
Echoes of dreams guiding our steps
(Guiding our steps)

Serendipity, serendipity

Trying to step as we dance
Ways converging where dreams lead us
A mixing of chance, luck, and fortunes
(Luck and fortunes)

Gentle breeze of destiny
Gentle breeze of destiny
Serendipity, serendipity

In the quiet of the night
We walk alone through the unknown
Through all the ways where life drives us
(where life drives us)

Gentle breeze of destiny
Gentle breeze of destiny
Serendipity, serendipity
Gentle breeze of destiny
Serendipity, serendipity
(Repeat)

Serendipity

WAVE THE FUNK GOODBYE

Look at you sorting through your halos.
Just as I am walking through the door.
You ain't got many words to say to me, though.
It's not getting better than before.
We must abide.
In the Cassiterides.
No, i've never caught a rabbit, and I'll never catch a rabbit with you.
Now, there's no coming back, no matter what I do.
What fools.
We were.

We don't all exist within the same world.
One in which the choices never end.
I'm sure it's lovely in your sunshine.
The grass looks pretty green from down our end.
We struggled by.
In the Cassiterides.
No, i've never caught a rabbit, and I'll never catch a rabbit from you.
The bottom rung of the ladders are simply rotten through.
Boo-hoo.
For who?

Save me.
Out here in the cold.
Your safety.
Is mostly made of gold?
Tame me?
When I'm knowingly mis-sold.
Lately.
Just sat here getting old.
Out of the fold.

You little bastards, always wanting a bit more.
Oh, there's certainly some more of what you've had.
Just poke your head above the parapet.
Quickly, have a look and then just grab.
Want an easy ride?
In the Cassiterides.
Oh, you'll never catch a rabbit, and they'll never catch a rabbit for you.
Rome is built for Romans, not for you.
Not you.
Not you.

Safety?
Out here in the cold.
You'd save me?
But I dont have the gold.
Tame me?
Never in this life.
Hold me back?
What gave you the right.
Oh, the right.

A captivating journey, certainly, but above all an intriguing journey and the lady's gaze is absolutely not reassuring.

Captivating Escape

Captivating Escape - KRT Production

Miles, after miles
I’m flying away… away

Travelling in my car
No more stress to face
Just leaving to be far
From this place to erase

Windows down, wind in my hair
Feeling free and alive
Music playing, volume high
As I watch the world go by

Miles, after miles
Miles, after miles
I’m flying away… away

Travelling in my car
Lad alone, but free (free free free)
With each passing mile
(far far far) Far enough to feel the freedom

(Miles, after miles)
I feel the freedom
(Miles, after miles)
I feel the freedom
Wind in my hair
(Miles, after miles)

I feel the freedom
Feel the freedom
(Miles, after miles)
(after miles)
I’m flying away
I feel the freedom
(Feel the freedom)
