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…

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.
Nitro:Guitar/Drums/vocal
Ruthie:vocals
Tommy:Bass
Charlie:harmonica
Bull: Keys
Rick:Lead G.
Kavin:Lead G.
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
in a million faces there…
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!
