Second of two songs on the album about trying to be a better person. The first was about people not trying, this is about struggling (and kinda failing) to be a better person than you have been. Slide parts courtesy of Gary...

This one is about how falling in love kind of involves giving up any say in whether or not your heart gets trampled. It's about that fear. Gary doing a sterling job as usual on lead guitar..
She's amazing
Beauty holds no bounds
and her voice…
Have no idea where this one came from. I was strumming away and the words just came out. Seems to be about some kind of wrongdoing in the past. May have been possessed. Thanks again to Gary for helping out on lead..
In sleepy towns through…
A folksy number inspired by the stories my nan told me many moons ago about her uncle Herbie..
Herein lies the story, of a man named Herbie Jones.
Not a million miles away from a man you might have known.

Thanks to Mike Brown for lending a hand with the lead parts.. despite trying his damnedest not to! Also thanks for MMI for the advice which in part at least, I took!

Just a fragment.. but thought it was worth including..
If I were to lose you now
I don't know that I could cope
Please don't leave me now, don't go
You're my only hope.
Hey I like your album cover. The sticker design on the bottom right has a nice edgy design feel to it. It just pops. Nice work on the artwork and the music, well the music of course!
This provides a theory which ties together two of my key traits a) always tired b) terminally disappointed by peoples lack of courtesy - there's a link people!
Did you ever feel so down
That you didnt know up
Didnt recognise highs
And smiles…

Just letting out my frustration at 'people' in general again.. nice to be able to vent it in a more pleasant way (for those interested in how I used to do it, please see http://alonetone.com/boynamedsu) :)

L.A.M. Stands for Loud!Awesome!Music! In which,
I love all "Electronic Music", soo many different styles:) The l.a.m. are my initials so it was pretty easy finding a name for myself. "Reactor"
just sounded appropriate for the song. I have to…
This should be the final tune from Nitro's "Wanna Dance" album project. Ruthie's "theme song". I added the slide guitar at the end.

Ruthie:vocals
Tommy:Bass

I'm learning to 'listen' to the 'flow' of life all around me and not get so caught up in little things that don't really matter.
Learning to enjoy! Life is good...
The river runs
and i look into it
i see myself

like the sentiment of this a lot. The hook is subtle but really grabs hold. vocal reminds me of tim buckley for some reason. great stuff anthony.
ps. if u fully figure out how to let go of things that dont matter.. tell me your secret! The song blocked it temporarily.. but WHY WONT PEOPLE INDICATE!! :)
as well as enjoying the interpretation.. I LOVE the 'about' column!! haha. Me ol' ma does a similar thing when she sets the meals down 'meats overdone, potatoes could have been on a bit longer and the sauce is too thick. Enjoy!'
Growing up is hard.
For everyone.
I once had a Facebook Friend named Shannon Elizabeth Hardwick. A poet, from Midland, Texas, doing advanced studies at Sarah Lawrence. She was so good she could write a hundred pages about how she couldn…
This is my 12 hour song (written, recorded, mixed, mastered) ... I pined away all day at it while a storm kept me company.
instrumentation:
a man lost his house and sold me his fretless bass for next to nothing. a family friend gave me…
dont know how you create a feel like that.. is literally a complete mystery to me how you manage it. Sounds so smooth. think ill have to take this one on hols. :)
I wrote this song after my brother passed away a couple years ago. His girlfriend of 4 years asked me to write the music to a poem she wrote. This is what it turned out to be.
Lyrics by Annie Buller.
ah. its you again. i keep having to return to the laptop to see who it is. and it keeps being you! again.. LOVELY voice. The melody really draws the emotion of the lyrics. Great.
This is what happens when three friends get together on pasta making day.
Special thanks: Annie, for your voice; Dana, for your voice and your musical knowledge (she knew exactly what chords we needed).
Dana is a fellow alonetoner, you should…
more tabla/club music. this one needs some melodic work, perhaps some more instrument layering, more chord progressions... anyhow, should be enjoyable enough for now.
certainly was enjoyable enough.. didnt shake my ass.. cos my belly goes with it.. but i felt it all the same. i find yo shit pleases on a level where most disappoints. like a bit of electronic stuff now and again and urs always seems to do the job. ta for that mucka.
exceptionally cool. been lookin for some music like this.. was aimlessly scouring amazon yesterday trying to find the likes. and here it was all along. great feel to it..
I love it David! It takes it back more to how it was written.. only with piano instead of strummed acoustic. My missus will like it too as she wasnt happy with where i took it in the end. The anguished vocal really ups the emotion, as does the stripped down arrangement. Definitely a job well done. Thanks for doing it boss :)
I cant believe how this one crept in! I was walking home and pow.. suddenly I'm hummin it. Was a slow burner for me and enjoyed other tracks on the album much more on first listen but yeah.. its class. And it wont leave me head!
[Thanks to Helen and Colin for coming to my aid with the warblings! :) ]
When You Least Expect It
And you're out to dry
And its all too hectic

And it feels electric
And you feel alive

Were you one of the guys on top of the Apple Records building in 1970? ;-) Nice work!!!!
You have a serious gift for writing good lyrics! This is great!!
Was there a female vocalist in there? Give her more space. Otherwise I really enjoyed this. :)
