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) :)
Lo and behold now holy guacamole if…

Haunting!
And liking the confession. :-) But as you know, it's a personal challenge. Almost half of my cd was recorded by (a) other people and (b) in 2009, so...you know.
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…

Wow, what a tribute. Kinda Neil Young vibe. (I always fancied that scrubbing by the fire thing, but was several decades too late.)
"Very well put together," says Husband. And he doesn't mean me.
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...

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..

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

from the album "Flooded" featuring Ash Reynolds on vocals
She’s grey outside
She’s very sad
She starts to cry
It’s looking bad
The frozen ground
Won’t let her in
Yet on it comes
The flood begins
The road ahead
Has warning signs
say…
from the album "Flooded" featuring Ash Reynolds on vocals and Jeff Treese on solo guitar
i wasn’t certain, if you could hear
when i told you, the rain was falling
but not it’s easy to see in your eyes
but for a moment, there’s hesitation…
hang up
i hear the ghostly sound
faintly
they come
down through the phone lines
bravely
to give you peace of mind
to pacify the masses
i read it all online
the dread the fear the sorrow
we're running out of time
today tonight tomorrow…
RPM 2k15
vocals by Ashley Reynolds
this whole place
going down the drain
and i’m going along for the ride
nobody forced my hand
nobody made me this way
nobody tried to stop me either
it’s not what i say, what i do
it’s everything all…
TWICE IN A MILLION
Counted the flowers in my back yard
Dreamt of the games that I won and I lost
Sorted my ties in the closet
Had those old Father’s Day cards arranged
Love is an heirloom of a long time past
Almost not tempting…
STRING THEORY
A little playful and teasing sigh
A little twinkle in your eye
You’re a Devil, temptress, I am helpless
In front of you
On and off again
I’m your little plaything
Up and down I go
Puppet on a string
You let me go and…
Do You Believe?
Lyrics
I have touched the sky
I have sailed the Universe
I discover new worlds
I don't see the time go by
Do you believe in the bridge to Asgard?
Do you believe in Noah's great flood?
Do you believe in the Hopi Star…
This is my second piece for the RPM challenge... And it's a big milestone for me... the first time I ever played my own instrument along with it! It's rough, but you gotta keep trying and start somewhere, right? Greg Connor... you'll understand…
This was a write it and record it in one session song challenge that my songwriting friends and I came up with this week. Lions and Lambs was started thinking of spring, but it turned into a song about relationships... as they often do.
Greg…
Update: Paul took the first version and made it even better. So impressed with his talents. Thanks everyone for your kind words on the original. I know you'll like this version even more!

Don't let me down

Like so many times before
I know there'll be so many more
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
I know my enemy by name
Survival is a deadly game
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
Hold The Nighttime

Hold the nighttime just as close as you can. Get to know it. Yeah, make it your friend. Taste the darkness and you'll understand. The moon reflects the light on the land. But not everything is what it seems... in this dream…
Seven Sisters

Seven Sisters in the sky
known from days gone by
Seven Sisters of the drum
Seven Sisters seen by night
shining ancient light
Seven Sisters of days to come

You've got something genuine going on with your music.
So soulful. Full of soul. So.
Fabulous!
Holy guacamole! This year's Calligraphy, me thinks! Awesome!

I'm really loving your lone singer-songwriter arrangements this year, Alex. Really shows off the quality of your song-writing and your GREAT voice.

This one has a Celtic rock feel to it. Very nice.
:) I like music that makes me feel good. Great little song.
You guys made some fine magic here.
:) What a change up. Outrageous. Fits perfect.
I really enjoyed listening to your RPM songs. Thanks fellas. Super Job!!!
Golly, now I'm a damn groupie! Great effort for RPM Alex. I am impressed!!
This is a hit Alex. Nice changes. Rock and Roll!!!
This reminds me of...........me! I guess that's a good thing right?
This is a nice, foot tapping mover. I like the piano work and the driving rhythm.
Love the piano in this one.
Great stuff man!
strawberry? hehe Never heard that one. You guys do make a good duo...
Good grief, did you get this vocal from the bottom of your boots? What a range, boy! Love the music also - kind of haunted slide guitar fairground.
