So, since I am a really patriotic guy, but don’t find much to be patriotic about these days, I decided to write a song about my lovely patriotic wife, who represents the best of America to me, in too many ways to count.
I am a southern boy who ran off to New York City for a long time in his youth, but she is from Jersey. It is a beautiful thing. Jersey girls are the best. Just ask Tom Waits.
Anyway, in our house we stand for many American values. We also stand for parallel mastering. On this song, I tried a new trick I learned on YouTube that is based on a technique utilized by the famous engineer Andrew Scheps. What you do is, you create a secondary master buss where you additionally send all of the instrumental tracks except for the drums (which have their own buss), and then you add additional magic to that Secondary Master Buss (aka Rear Buss) that you place side by side with the master master buss. It just so happens that I have the Andrew Scheps Omni Channel plugin which I put on the secondary master buss.
Hope you enjoy this.
P.S.
I should also add that in my template, I also have an instrument buss that receives all of the instrument tracks minus drums with the effects that I'm using on those instruments. So really I have two rear busses. One is the buss where I send the instruments with their effects, and the additional Scheps buss receives those tracks as well with extra pixie dust applied. Then those find their way to the master buss.
She says she’s from Jersey And that’s ok by me Cause she listens to Springsteen And she was born to be free And she’s friendly with Jesus And she’s friendly with me And she looks like a woman In the sun or the shade And whatever I owe her She’s says she’s already paid
CH
And she’s American made Sexy and strong And she’s American made So I wrote her song Sings like an angel, and her love never fades I thank God that she found me What else can I say She’s American made

So I drove her to Pittsburgh To see McCartney play And she said that she loved me When he sang Yesterday And she’s a Rock ‘n Roll Mystery She’s a Rock ‘n Roll song And when I feel her kiss me That’s where I belong
CH
And she’s American made Sexy and strong And she’s American made So I wrote her song Sings like an angel, and her love never fades I thank God that she found me What else can I say She’s American made
V3
So I’m not watching TV Until I’ve cast my vote Cause all of those people They’ll just be cutting my throat I’d rather be with my sweet girl By some mountain steam Because inside of her heart She’s my American Dream
CH
And she’s American made Sexy and strong And she’s American made So I wrote her song Sings like an angel, and her love never fades I thank God that she found me What else can I say She’s American made

Dedicated to the lovely and epic Gayle Snyder, best wife, singer, musician, co-writer, best friend, maker of feasts and super awesome party planner and adventurous travel buddy ever. She’s American Made if anyone ever was. And yes, she loves Jesus and America, too.
David...I fell in love with this with the intro...did you write this for or just about Springsteen? this certainly sounds like something he would cut (though the line about himself would be a little narcissistic I suppose)...I bet your wife loves this...points are always good!...well written and performed...terrific song!

You are who you are because you do what you do because of what you believe.
I don't understand the rear buss, front buss or any other kind of buss but this is a good tribute song to your wifey. Nice guitar work.
And I certainly hope she looks like a woman in the sun or the shade!

Wow! Great song, nicely arranged and passionately sung. The guitars are really cool, too.
The production is very dynamic and lively, but I'm not sure exactly what I'm hearing. It MIGHT be a pleasing amount of "good pumping". At any rate, I love it. Will definitely be checking out the rear bus technique.
Go Gayle!

Your playing on this is fab. American Made/maid is a pretty good pun. Of course I'd love a verse in their that had some inclusion in it... sort of like "Her dad's from Kansas & her Mum hails from Japan And she said that she loved me In three languages man Yeah she’s a Rock ‘n Roll Mystery But I won't do her wrong When I know she's beside me That’s where I belong". Nevertheless - fab piece of art sir.

"mr jane said, "David Petty Youngsteen" and that is hard to beat. smile Three that came to mind indeed!" Same here! Great song David. Super backing band for a great vocal. I'll bet you are a hero in your house.
My goal this weekend is to move just enough each day so that no one pokes me to see if I'm dead or not.

Whatever ingredients you used to cook up the mastered result here sounds really clean and rich to me! Great pop/rock tune that has one of your best vocals! I love how you take the things/people surrounding you and craft them into really good songs like this!
I had in mind to tease you a bit, like you do to me. I had that orange guy in mind, but then... Then I read the lyrics. They are good and clever in many ways! So, I can only consider it, not only as a good song, but a wonderfut tribute to your wife too! And that for a man that was originally 'Dutch made'. Yes mr Snyder. In my home town Haarlem some years ago we had a lord major, also called Snyder. Famous name around here. But sadly he was sooo vain. Luckily you are not. And the song is Great!
