Wow! This one is sadness perfection. Your voice with its gravelly undertones - the perfect accompaniment to these lyrics. Mesmerizing.
And on a side note.... Moonlighting!!!! Ahhhhhh I loved that show. So. Much. Sexual. Tension..... and funny too. Loved it!

Don't usually comment on my own songs, but in case there's any confusion... YES Greg - there is no humour in the song at all, none intended, I feel it the same way as you... and I actually love it for that myself... it's what the song evolved into from a joke verse I wrote (In Tom Waits voice, Roger! hehe) ... But when I was first recording it, in my own voice, x years ago it was SO sad (and not in a "Bobby Goldsboro - Honey" good kind of way) that we decided to put it in the filing cabinet for a while!

Well done! The title is very inviting. I couldn’t help but listen.
I never found the humor, but rather a poignant feeling of loss, eloquently described.

Andrew, Connie's Song is a song I do not remember writing and I have no idea what it's about. I must have been very sleepy. I have never sung in that voice before. Thank you for commenting.

Ha! Whoever gave you such a command is a fricking genius... And boom! You've created a new genre: s-c-a-r-y happy. Arrangement is fabulous - backing vocals, guitar...brilliant!

A cool mixture of MIDI and conventional instruments.
Slide guitar courtesy of my trusty Zippo lighter.
There is no better lighter / slide :) Buy one, it could save your life.
For M.T.
Enjoy!
Oh yeah, this is the biz. Lovely stuff.
I've tried using a Zippo as a slide - can't get on with it, just can't compete with the stack of various slides standing beside the recording machine...
As a lighter, though, cannot be beaten :)
it was a fun song to do and had different changes of some different musical styles than i've done before. overall im pleased with this songs outcome.
especially since from this point forward i will be making music on a different, better pc. i…
The absolute first song I ever wrote, sitting alone in a cold gray prison cell. This particular also actually took me the longest to actually complete, as it was several years before I seemed to actually get all of the words right.
A remix of this tune by a guy who really knows how to mix tracks proper...Andy found a producer type guy that liked this song but thought the mix was really bad...so I sent him all the individual tracks and this is what he came up with I think…
a song written about my memories of a trip to norway. and dedicated to my viking host Geir T Alfsen.
the original version was done acoustically and can be heard here.

just like home
but…
Here's the Classic from Boston from that time when my locks were flowing and i was 3stone lighter....with speed Demon Gene doing the music and yours truly trying his best on the vocals...hope you enjoy as much as we did doing it.....
I can't believe the stuff you guys are taking on!! Excellent...
Couple of requests for future consideration:
Carry On My Wayward Son
Paradise By The Dashboard Light
:)
Well Reg has just realised that he keep making the same mistakes with his relationships as he always has....the first song from the Newly built cellar.....Jim just had to jump o this one............
Hello pain my old friend it's so nice to see…
Yeah, I don't like making comparisons either usually, but Jim Morrison sprung to mind very much...
Hopefully that's what at least one of the Regs was intending :)

Beautifully done.

I'm going to play this a lot along with She was dead ... fantastic.
Hauntingly beautiful. Well done!
Love the chord changes in the intro. Great hook.
Yup the same around here the haint remains when the body is gone. Its a bit hard to explain unless you are A Cherokee I liked your explanation for all of us to peek into your process. good on this

Andrew, Connie's Song is a song I do not remember writing and I have no idea what it's about. I must have been very sleepy. I have never sung in that voice before. Thank you for commenting.
A little touch of 80's or am i wrong? anyway i like this. Production value: ACE.
You always have the crispiest sounding rock pieces. Very nice!
Sounds to me like a song ' The Child Catcher ' should sing, Ha Ha, creepy but happy all at the same time, love it.
Ha! Whoever gave you such a command is a fricking genius... And boom! You've created a new genre: s-c-a-r-y happy. Arrangement is fabulous - backing vocals, guitar...brilliant! *hides*
Crazy good moves slide into a Beatles style chorus how did this work ? I don’t know but it did . Most respected
Going to have this one locked in my head for a very long time...... thanks! (I think!!)
Great message and wonderful music. Your guitar parts are fantastic.

Couldn't get this to play... had to download it to listen to it.... But, boy, was it worth the effort!! Gorgeous.
Like it. There is so much going on in here. I'm a bit tired at the moment anyway, but I just lay here on the sofa and let it wash over me.
Huge and rocking.
Yep, like your stuff - looking forward to hearing more.
Fantastic sound. Love your voice.
Woo. This takes me back... Love it :)
Crazy stuff. Love it.
Yep, great track. Still loving the vocal delivery. And that harp is mighty fine.
It do indeed. Nice one :)
I always wanted one too! Sounds like I might have been a bit luckier in the one that caught me though... lol Fine restrained blues.
Oh yeah...
Yep, good to see this one on here. Fine, fine song.

Thought I'd commented on this... Fine song, loving the slide.
Almost speechless here... Wonderful :)
A cheery little song... Nice one :)
Liking your voice and how you deliver a lyric. I'll be back later for more :)
Love this, mighty fine.
