Description:
A friend challenged me to write a song for the Beatles and I came up with a Badfinger song.

It's getting better all the time.

You'll either have a good time or it will annoy the hell out of you.

LL

Lyrics:
Daylight Comes

Can't wait any longer
I'm like the sunrise ready to shine

Just a little bit somber
I'm on the red line, running so high

Daylight come, Daylight comes, everyday

Wanna' thank the morning
It takes a lifetime to realize

Hope I'm not too boring
Better praise tomorrow's sunrise

Daylight comes, Daylight comes, everyday

I wanna' hear the warning
Travel the corners of time and space

Don't you hear what I'm saying?
It might be over, don't lose the race

Daylight comes, daylight comes, everyday

Light is twisting and bending
Catch the only one and paint the fence

Dreaming love without ending
Rising up and the descending

Daylight comes, Daylight comes, everyday

I think you met the challenge Dave.

bouncy and a nice sing a long quality.

well good day sunshine. now i just need to know why is it snowing..... again

[ Reply to This ]
I was thinking...... &mdash 04/05/08 - 01:58:16 PM
of getting you involved in this one because I realized you sound a lot like the singer from Badfinger. And your guitar would have been great.

Maybe we could start a Macjams band "Goodtoe", how's that for a name?

Snow huh?

Dave

Fun and Beatle-y &mdash 04/06/08 - 03:14:32 AM
I just wanted to use the word "Beatle-y." I don't know who Badfinger is, but, well. . . I think I can imagine this as a Beatle's song.

It was fun and cheerful, but there were lines where the rhythms felt forced or rushed. For example "Better praise tomorrow's sunrise" sounded like you were in a hurry to get through it.

Fun music, and I think the keyboard rhythms were particularly Beatle-y.

Sammy &mdash 04/06/08 - 05:11:06 AM
Never forced. But, thanks for pointing that out.

Glad you liked it?

Hope to see you around.

The weather's got me thinking.........

Badfinger &mdash 04/09/08 - 06:47:43 PM
Ever hear the song "Come and Get It?" McCartney wrote it and Badfinger did the song. It was their first hit. Good song.

"If you want it, here it is, come and get it
woo, woo, woo, woo
Make your mind up fast."

Sunny Song &mdash 04/06/08 - 09:05:49 AM
W/ great production, I would say the most pro sounding thing you have done to date love that short sweet chorus, so familiar which is a good thing for sure! Very nice Dave!

[ Reply to This ]
Can't believe &mdash 04/06/08 - 01:32:24 PM
You think it's one of my best productions. I knock this one out in about 3 hours........go figure?

Thanks TW

This is a tasty confection. A Grewat tune for feeling young and eeling the spring breeze as it blows the crust-o-matic barnacles off my winter hull.

great work! &mdash 04/06/08 - 01:58:43 PM
catchy and the good kind of familiar. the thing I always like about your vocals is the honesty of them. nothing ever sounds forced or sounds like you sang 100 takes to get it right. well done pal!



[ Reply to This ]
Thanks man &mdash 04/07/08 - 02:52:05 PM
I'm really weak at vocals, so any support is appreciated. Sometime, I forget that I came back into this as a songwriter and not a singer. But, it seems if you don't sing it right, you don't get the respect.

So, I try.

Dave

[ Reply to This ]
Good time here too! &mdash 04/06/08 - 02:16:40 PM
Outside it is in fact raining and everything is overcast and gloomy. This cheered me up considerably. Nice lyrics, great arrangement, and very good melody. Very cool. Nicely done. Peace.

P.S. Impossible to listen without bopping my head like a nut. Good thing.

Good Thing &mdash 04/07/08 - 02:54:53 PM
It snow today. No daylight. So, it really doesn't come everyday.

I might have to take this one down.

Totally &mdash 04/06/08 - 03:33:06 PM
reminds me of the great pop tunes of my youth in the mid 70's. A bit Partridge family a bit Monkees but I mean that in the best sense since those songwriters were hit makers.

Took me back &mdash 04/07/08 - 02:43:52 AM
Maybe it's just me, but this has a more Beach Boys feel to me - a little tweaking on the mix and a bit more reverb in the right places and it could be Brian and the boys. Oh and a few extra harmonies. Your voice sounds a lot like Mike Love.

Fun song Dave.

Goodtoe - I like that!!

I think that would be a brilliant idea to add harmonies. It really a Beachboys song, now to think of it.

Thanks for taking a listen.

Wow! Nice job! A really uplifting bit of tuneage man. Very nicely mixed as well. I thoroughly enjoyed the singing throughout.

Be well friend!

Glad I could do a more uplifting song. Glad you dug it.

Be well, too, my friend.

Pull My Badfinger &mdash 04/08/08 - 01:06:19 PM
Dave,

I'm not sure if anyone here will agree with me, but I think that either you've been heavily influenced by the Beatles, or you are one of the Beatles or possibly one of them lived next door to you in the 60's when you used to sing your songs with the windows opened.

I want you to stop what you're doing and send me a video of you singing right now.

Please don't let me down, buddy boy. I'll send you an autographed photo of Vic Holman. Speaking of Vic, have you and he reunited to do a song yet? Come on guys! What are you waiting for?

Your best friend at MacJams and in the entire state of Florida,

Bob Dorsey

Dresden calling &mdash 04/08/08 - 02:07:07 PM
A friend of mine challenged me to write a Beatles song. He's one of they best guitar players I've seen live. He said he couldn't do it. I drunkly replied that I could.
Just did my best Dana Carvey from SNL, remember that bit where he plays a songwriting and he writes Chopping Broccoli. Too obscure?

I know you're just goofing, but I try not to be too much of a Beatle rip-off, but it's just so damned fun.

I wish I could have been a writer for the Monkees.

My old best friend lives in Fla., but you're still number one.

Can you get Vic to sign my guitar?

Dave

Don't listen to him David! Bob is lying! I've tried to get Vic to pose for pictures and he refuses to do it. The photos Bob is offering you are fakes!

Daylight Comes, But I Don't Want to Go Home &mdash 04/09/08 - 07:01:18 PM
Nice going Lava. I could hear some chorus guitar work in the chorus and a nice bass emphasizing the rhythm in the chorus.

Good going.
