I struggled to get this thing completed. I've been sat on it for weeks, finished, debating whether I was really prepared to let it go.
I loved the song when I wrote it, inspired by a wonderful week at the end of September. But the recording…

I wasn't even sure the recording machine was still going to work after nearly five years... Certainly, bits of me don't work anymore... But, surprisingly, I got this done in 24 hours, start to finish... Strange old world…

Hey man - first i want to thank you for listening and commenting on our stuff - i am guilty of not spending much time on the Atone - anyway - this track is killer man! The melody is playful yet the lyrics seem a bit sarcastic, kinda intense. Love your voice too

This one's a bit of a ponderous beastie.
It can be whatever you want it to be. For me, it's got a lot to do with Sunday 18th June 1815.

Precision! Restraint! The clarity and deliberateness of this production leaves me grasping for words. It's like you created it within a straight jacket.

The banjo, bass and guitar on this song
was played by Michael Jeffrey. This is one song off the record we did together back in 1975/6 on his 4 track machine. Michael and Barbara Anne Taylor sing harmony.

New original from me, hot off the old wotsit.
When it was half written yesterday, I was considering binning it as a throwaway exercise - I do that quite often. But I played the songwriting demo to someone else and, er, apparently I should finish…
@guest
:) don't let that inner puppy get sunburned.
Some of what you've been doing yourself recently went into the ability to create this one. And I nearly even posted the songwriting demo!!! :0
This is a poem written by my late grandmother, Margaret Nina Hogan, written for her first daughter, Dolores. This was probably written in the early 1930's in England. My grandmother wrote a lot of poems throughout her life and i have put about…

The production of this song was influenced by Paul McCartney's song "Sing the Changes"
He Calls Me
I’ll climb rugged mountains
I’ll swim through the sea
I’ll walk hills and valleys
My Lord is calling me
Oh, He calls me,
Yes, He calls me…
So MTC put out [this wonderfully sparse instrumental piece](http://alonetone.com/mtcband/tracks/shadow-of-myself) and a vocal line just jumped out at me. Then some harmonies jumped out as well.

Fantastic, utterly brilliant. The audacity to take this on...
Made me rethink some old bollox I've got waiting for me to finish...
Superb guys - HUGE grin on this old face...

one cool thing about piano pieces is that they lend themselves to being rearranged for other instruments, since the piano encompasses the entire range,,, this is a pared down version of my last weeks submission le baiser apres-midi = the afternoon…
You asked the other day about the story behind Sleeping With The Ghost - I've been wracking my brains to remember what caused it.
It's pretty much out of my head, and I was exploring the break-up of my first marriage - although I'm not sure I actually knew it was breaking up at the time I wrote it!
I think the imagery came from a children's program on UK TV when I was younger? I think it might have been called The Mandeville Ghost, or something like that, anyway. There is a ghost of "Sir Geoffrey of Mandeville" documented - contains nothing like this though.
Also, the legend behind the plot in "The Hound of the Baskervilles" had a quite a bit to do with the pictures in my head when I was writing it.

oooo, very nice. I liked the original, and the flute addition is wonderful (for some reason the sound of a flute takes me nearer to "an afternoon kiss" than just piano alone does).
I've been teasing Steve (SLKrell) about Rose, from Las Cruces Nevada, ever since he wrote a song about her for Valentines Day a few years ago.
Rosie is a figment of our imagination. I wrote a song about stealing her away from Steve:
http…
Could this possibly be the same Rosie that was round my place the other day? Surely not?
:-o
Small world...
(But don't tell the missus...)
This is a mighty fine song...
the one I got out of it is just a touch "racier" - I'm waiting for Steve Tyler to do his vocal on it now - But if it is the same girl, I reckon she's been a-messin' both you boys around some...
A sweet little song by a grandma lady from out west "Melvina Reynolds" bless her heart and excuse the language, Smile don't mind failing in this world,
I don't mind failing in this world,
Don't mind wearing the ragged…
Vocals performed by 2 year old Mo.
Music later added by glu, who produced this track as a brilliant surprise. We absolutely love it!
Melody based on 'Ah! vous dirai-je, Maman,' by Mozart.
And this one brought me back to the alonetone window as well - gorgeous.
And again, the title Enticement was perfect. The music had already put the image of someone I know in my head... and "enticing" and "enticement" describe her perfectly.
Comments on Andrew Russe's stuff
Incredible vocals. The song reminds me of something that would heard in a Tim Burton movie.
Unique with a few fun twists like “we still don’t know how long to wait .... forever”. Love it
Wow...just wow. Andrew, this sounds great, and I love the song. Beautifully done!
Life on Mars - like
Lyrics, melody....well crafted mate
Killer guitar tones, again great vocals man, dry and in my face- and again, the emotion comes thru- great !
Hey man - first i want to thank you for listening and commenting on our stuff - i am guilty of not spending much time on the Atone - anyway - this track is killer man! The melody is playful yet the lyrics seem a bit sarcastic, kinda intense. Love your voice too
Beautifully played and sung
Amazing lyrics - an incredibly bittersweet tribute...
A touching song! well written and performed love the middle 8 very much enjoyed! KC
Love this.... mysterious and sad and lovely....
We, in our depiction of that night in the old West would have said, "...a hot cup of coffee."
"And Blazey’s left her homework on the trainEven though they’re thirsty They don’t stop to get a drink..." forever lines...
It's like you are channeling Bowie from a slightly different planet.
I have had similar response to Bjork and Kate Bush lately...
Love the way you stretch and twist the chords.
Sounds like you've been thru some shit since last we met...
Precision! Restraint! The clarity and deliberateness of this production leaves me grasping for words. It's like you created it within a straight jacket.
Your voice is crystal clear.
This makes me cry...and I haven't listened to the music yet.

Ooo, I found this cos someone favourited it (thanks B!) It's gorgeous :)

Beautiful.
Oh yes. Fabulous.
I was listening to them in order, enjoying everything, and then suddenly this one kicked into action - quite woke me up :) Loving what you're doing.
Like it :) I was reading the comments, and waiting for the harmonies - oh yes.
Oh what a classic! This is hilarious and utterly brilliant. You're not Nigel Tuffnel are you?
Can't get over this one though... Off to the broom-cupboard now to exorcise my inner Percy
Like I said off elsewhere... I loved Every Day. This does the job, boy do it do the job :)
Wooo! When I read "hip-hop" I thought, oh no, it won't grab me. SO WRONG!! I love this. Yeah, do more, post more :) Faved and followed.

Brilliant. And the folks who don't mind failing... seem to be the folks who succeed in the stuff that matters. I love this one.
Oh yeah, great sound. I wanna hear some vocals on it. Lovely feel on the lead. LOVELY feel.
brilliant :)
Just been round all 22, and back to the start (still going) FABULOUS stuff, many thanks :) Looking forward to what you do next.
Oooooh - shivery and wonderful. And another perect fit, title to music.
