A fantastic, brilliant, colorful, delicious, epic composition! This is one of those one-in-a-million exceptional bit of songwriting. I'm impressed. A lot of mojo happening here. Take a bow, cause I'm standing and applauding this one -- FABULOUS! 5 STARS!

beautifully composed ... love the bass and piano at the start ... great when it kicks in ...like the nuances like the strings and electric guitar bits ... a well produced and mixed piece that takes you on a few dynamic journeys ...the ending rocks ... strong vocals.

Finally, at last... I've got something finished...
Been working on this for a few weeks.
A bit of a rocker... (and an aging lecherous one at that)
I got it as close as I could and then mixed it loud... I've over-cooked it slightly - but…
This song has been sat on the marvellous mechanical mouse organ in the broom-cupboard for well over a year.
A few weeks ago I got a bit of a scare - the mouse organ nearly broke down (in the middle of sorting out Delta Dawn). While I was fixing…

So I was locked in the broom-cupboard, checking out some old songs that need recording.
I'd just picked one and then suddenly this thing came out of nowehere. It started with one of those guitarist doodles that other musicians love so much…

This is one of the many songs going round my head from when I was young. No idea whose version I heard and used to sing along to back then, but it was written by Larry Collins and Alex Harvey.
(EDIT: Done some research. It was Dottie West's…
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…
I wrote this little ditty back in May, did an acoustic demo and then played it to one or two people. I always meant to do something a bit more, er, "expansive" with the thing... So I stuck it in the corner for a bit and forgot about it.

Yeah you know what it is that I want
Oh you knew, didn't you, before I did?
How many times did you wonder whether I would dare?
Oh never mind...
Take off your underwear
Over…
What’s on your mind
Are you losing confidence
Someone’s been unkind
And caring becomes a consequence
Look for a reason to smile
The Sun will shine your way
Look for a reason to smile
And watch the clouds drift away
Feeling like you…
Heres a new one a Reg cover of a zep song i recorded live https://alonetone.com/thetworegs/tracks/can't-quit-you-babe-(litc) then Ken (Hardlock) over on Songcrafters added everything else drums lead piano and bass, the acoustic guitar and vocal…
Hello Hello The original of this song was recorded in 1981 Using my Permanent Adolescent technique of drums first. No click, no follow along to other instruments. Just the drums and the musical arrangement in my head. I joined a band in 1984…
And this is just YEAH... I've been checking out Sam Mann and Thee Apes on youtube... wow, you was rocking the ACTUAL strip... we was rocking The Quay in Exeter, Devon, UK
I believe the year was 1981. My friend Tim Brown and I recorded a bunch of music. Since I played all of the instruments(except the lead guitar parts:which Tim played) and sang all of the parts on this song: I believe I still have some recall…
This is a love song for Idaho. Funny thing is I've never even been to Idaho, but I dreamed the chorus and the happy little riff some years ago, and it's stuck with me ever since. So, I filled it in with some verses and an outro that capture the…
Another in an endless string of recordings that would have been saved by a competent singer. Maybe. I like the individual pieces of this song, but I don't think I like the song as a whole. Okay... maybe I don't like the chorus at all. I don…
So for the second in the Fusion Soundscape project, I envisaged a few characters meeting up in one of the lonely passageways in the Underground near midnight, and having a bit of a soulful jam....! Hopefully have captured a little of the bleakness…
Here's another new one
Erwin B - bass
Bingsolex - lead guitar
KC - guitars, vocals, keys & mix

I don't take no for an answer
I want to know what is true
Don't be a tightrope dancer…

Written for Minnesota Homebrew Radio Show's current songwriting challenge, "write a song with two words in the title starting with P".

Mighty cool - and very clever - song. We've all met one when we didn't need or want to... and... er... I strongly suspect I've done it to others myself!!
A new one
Hope you like it....

When the plans you made don't turn out right
When the goals you set are out of sight
Your bank account on an all time low
When you ain't got a place to go
Time to get stoned…
Love it. I grew up with "stoned" meaning drunk... Little Ole Winedrinker Me kind of stoned... I sometimes still hear it like that... this was one those occasions... I'd definitely be reaching for the bottles and cocktail shaker in these scenarios!
I kinda like this one. The melody in the hook is kinda fun, and having the guitar play a melody of its own was something fun that I don't do often. The lyrics are stream of conscious garbage, meaning they are probably about the idiot in the…
OK, so after the Lockdown Orchestrations project, I have moved to a new series of pieces I am calling Fusion Soundscapes. What I am trying to do here is paint a picture using some sound effects, and with a mix of orchestral and electric/rock…

A fantastic, brilliant, colorful, delicious, epic composition! This is one of those one-in-a-million exceptional bit of songwriting. I'm impressed. A lot of mojo happening here. Take a bow, cause I'm standing and applauding this one -- FABULOUS! 5 STARS!
EPIC!!!!!!!!!! Haaa!!!! Great Work all the way around!!!!
Ya nailed it. Awesome mix.
beautifully composed ... love the bass and piano at the start ... great when it kicks in ...like the nuances like the strings and electric guitar bits ... a well produced and mixed piece that takes you on a few dynamic journeys ...the ending rocks ... strong vocals.
Wow... I see why it took 5 months. A wonderous construction indeed. As I'm no longer an Alonetoner... I'm Mac McIntyre
another beauty from the house of Russe ......
Awesome classic rock, outstanding tune!
I missed this one. Really Nice Ballad.
Good ole Rock N Roll...still alive and kicking!!
Nice -- really, really nice.
A great, Classic Rock-style song -- vocals, guitar, lyrics, vocals, everything! Rock on!
I still like it as it is!!
Wonderful piece. Enjoy the variety in your material.
So sweet! Love the lyrics. Such a gorgeous vocal job. Very gentle yet so powerful.
If you were going for that AC/DC sound, you nailed it. You sure can cook up some fine recordings! Great job -- Rock on!
Astonishingly great blend of vox - you guys sound amazing together! More please.
This is such a lovely, heartfelt tribute. Romantic/cool, very fabulous.
Typical Andy R gem , a great listen
This is great. I added it to my collection. Always impressed with your music.
Another great number! Love that wah guitar and your vocals are superb :-) Great production.

Oh yeah, cool song. Love the message.
HOLY SMOKES. It's almost unbelievable what Ken's managed to do to the original track. Loved the original too, but wowsers
And this is just YEAH... I've been checking out Sam Mann and Thee Apes on youtube... wow, you was rocking the ACTUAL strip... we was rocking The Quay in Exeter, Devon, UK
Love it.
Ha! Intrigued again :)
Yep cool sounds. Your stuff always leaves me intrigued.
Oh yes, nice one. Love that second verse "She’s in the mountains, She’s in the streams, She got singing birds, She got dreams..." ... yeah.
Yeah, the more I listen to this one, the more I think you're being hard on it/yourself... and the guitars are fabulous.
Digging these soundscapes. This one can't be London, though, it sounds far too clean and healthy for the Underground I know!! :)
Oh yeah, cool track. Getting a very Dire Straitsy vibe - which is very fine by me!
Very cool sounds
Oh yeah, like it.
Some very very cool guitars though!

Yep, I like this one too. Gorgeous guitars, cool bvox, and the groove just works on this one.
Yeah! Like it.
Yep, getting into your sounds.
This too. Thank you for creating and posting them.
Moving and thought provoking.
