When You Least Expect It
And you're out to dry
And its all too hectic
Thats when it comes x 2
And it feels electric
And you feel alive
Cos when you least expect…
Thanks for the encouraging words, Alex! There are plenty of options out there for making 8-bit sound; the one I used is a free application called FamiTracker, from famitracker.shoodot.net. More popular is the cartridge LSDJ for the original Gameboy, but that costs money and I love my freeware! Excepting the one copy of Fell Plot I sent to RPM, I don't have any of my music in print so I can't really make any trades, but I'll stick around and listen to some of your songs. :)
Let me introduce to you
Every woman child and man
The place I did my growing up
Raised by grandma's hand
I think you'll find
That folks are kind
They're sure to ask you in
Enter the warmth
Close the door
And my story will begin…
Well I been playing the blues for so long
Kinda feel like playing jazz x 2
I dig the random instrumentation.
Play this in eight over three and a half
I been playing the blues for so long, make me feel like tryna rap x 2
I think I'll call…

I heard a story about you
I didnt want it to be true
But it felt like it might
You, well it was all about you
and how the things that you do
Seem strangely undone
And life doesnt help out the weak
A lifetime tends to bring you some…

It aint like no ones done this before
But how can you tire of beautiful chords
In the fifties
In Tenessee
Where my love
was born
Two young men upped and
crossed the yard
both cold cos it was rainin hard.
One of them turned said…

The growl you've let loose here and there on this album is something I'd kill for. Pained. I don't have an equivalent. I sound like a little girl when I try.
Incredible triumph this set Colin. Gotta be pretty stoked I'd imagine
I didn't know I did. But I love a bit of 5/4 too. So riverboat song is 5/4 yeah?!!! Awesome. This my fav thus far. The guitar work is exceptional. Sounds incredible.
I decided to keep working on this one a bit on the "keep messing with it" program.... added some backing vocals and some piano.... kind of like where its heading after the one take wonder before... Any other suggestions are very welcome…
Really rough demo of something I'm sketching out--the vocals were recorded with voice memo on the built in mic on my phone.
"Luke, a f---ing Jedi Master, when it comes to blasting womprats, there ain't nobody badder,Son of Darth Vader, that…
or A.K.A. the Caribou Lake song...
I wrote this one for my Dad, who while up at our family cabin in the north woods of MN said there's not enough music about the woods...
My first "one take wonder" - just me and my little Uke - roughing…
Do any of us have any idea of what we are doing? Can we ever get it right, and do we understand the importance of blind faith? And again, the antagonist.
This song is meant to be the intro, set the stage, and talk about the direction of the album. The riff came to me while I was absent-mindedly noodling on my gtr in front of the idiot box one day. I knew at that point I had an album opener of a…

just for once
let the loss
fall away
from me now
try to see
the good in you
through the haze
of the world
I wanted to save you
From yourselves
But I forgot to first save me…

steps out behind the curtain
looks out at all the faces
the music's loud and we can't hear ourselves
he's making cryptic gestures
jumps on the microphone…
from the album "Flooded" featuring Ash Reynolds on vocals
Hope you find the way to feel like
Someone’s waiting there for you
Cause I know you’ll feel much better
When you figure out the truth
It’s the same, no matter what you do
Be who…
