First new one from me in a long time.
Kind of a love song, I guess.
Recorded in my new "studio" (3rd bedroom in the new house). Almost up and running now... shine and don't stop wondering!

On my way…
Next in the little pile of songs from the shoe-box. This one has the date 27th January 1994 written on it, but it's describing an episode from many years earlier when I was, I'm guessing, something like 12 or 13 years old.

lol - That's the "Rory" face, Greg... didn't realise how much it came out until I saw this video.
I have a camera now, and I'm currently struggling with how to control my face...
During the course of a song, I seem to wander the entire range of emotions - from intensely "bored" (the "I wonder what the next chord is?" face) to an "utterly bluddy crazy-man coming to get you" look...
Was I really that scary when I was doing gigs?!?!?

I should be working . . . but . . . I just had to take another pass through your video again.
Something about that last chord and the expression on your face.
Now, off to work!

coool guitar! nicely-pitched vox. humour, I like. nice progression. poignant and heartfelt. stopping listening before the end, as I don't want to cry at it. G:) thank you.

What beautiful melody . ....a great image is formed from you're lyrics....you must have looked like little lord fontalroy in you suit and shiny shoes I know I did when we went to the family occasions ....a beauty of a song....

That is an incredible tune. Lyrically excellent! I love the riff. Those acoustics sound perfecto! Short but sweet, makes u want to hear more. Great Andrew :).
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…

If you leave me behind I'll have a crow's nest of a life
Filled with things that sparkle and flash,
Rusty nails and old tin cans
Sure, they're pretty when they get wet
But it ain't the most comfortable bed
Unless you're here
I've been…
An acoustic short song I just made up, I kept it very basic by only using my little Höhner guitar with nylon strings of which I recorded two layers. I hope you will enjoy my song ! Warm regards from Anna.
With JS Tolar, as band Visions Of Nell.
My tribute to Anne Boleyn, the first queen to be publicly executed in England. I used some of the poetry she wrote during her imprisonment in the chorus. An innocent, incomparable woman.
A cover of Justin Currie's Sleep Instead of Teardrops. Recorded 2010.
It has always been one of my favourite Del Amitri songs. I was strumming away at it one day and my missus said I should record it...
With Big Time Operator, who originally uploaded his awesome music with the offer that anyone can add vocals...too good to miss! Love this music, and had loads of fun wailing. Thanks Chris!
Played on BBC Radio Introducing. :)

Hold The Nighttime
--
Hold the nighttime just as close as you can. Get to know it. Yeah, make it your friend. Taste the darkness and you'll understand. The moon reflects the light on the land. But not everything is what it seems... in this dream…
.
Full moon, full of mystery
Full moon, shadows thru the trees
I can feel your spell, I’m beggin at you please
So long I been straight and true
No wrong has come into view
I can feel that dark side, all because of you
Way down…

Just Chillin' to your music - much appreciating some fine music, singing and great songs. G:) Thanks, A
andrew....yr descriptions...i love it...you can do no wrong my friend...terrific gtr work...i like how you "land" on some the chords...what a voice

Soulful...rewind play again...
Laughed with you on this song. Been there, experienced that. ER
Haven't checked out alonetone in awhile. Really enjoy your work.
Great voice! Great song. Sometimes reminds me of Bowie... And it's a compliment! ;-)
Great voice, great tune....nice job
another great vocal performance. sweet song.
coool guitar! nicely-pitched vox. humour, I like. nice progression. poignant and heartfelt. stopping listening before the end, as I don't want to cry at it. G:) thank you.
Like the chord sequences v much!
What beautiful melody . ....a great image is formed from you're lyrics....you must have looked like little lord fontalroy in you suit and shiny shoes I know I did when we went to the family occasions ....a beauty of a song....
As wonderful as ever, Mr R x
Love all the acoustics....nice playing ...its a breath of fresh air. More listens on this side of the pond.
brings back old memories... like it!
I love the guitar. The video . . . Nice addition! Who is that Handsome fella playing the guitar? Well done Andrew! Great song!
That is an incredible tune. Lyrically excellent! I love the riff. Those acoustics sound perfecto! Short but sweet, makes u want to hear more. Great Andrew :).
Nice song. Great lyrics, great vocals!
Really beautiful cover of 'whiter shade of pale'. Cracking vocal.

Well that does the job. Nice one.
Wow! What a journey...
Crumbs - this thing is a *masterpiece* and I'm only halfway through it! Were you trying to do your entire rpm challenge on the first track?!! hehe
Oh yeah, fine song to close. Cool album.
Another single! :-) Love the vocal - 2nd verse is gorgeous.
Here's the single! Great track.
Great opener. Love the vocals.
Nice set of ideas there, MTC, very enjoyable listen :-)
Woof - loving the riffing on this one
Nice! Welcome to Alonetone :-) Listened to a few of your songs, this one leaps out at me. I'll be back to hear some more.
:) x
Oh lovely stuff.
Ooh no - I can't claim credit for this one. Justin Currie of Del Amitri wrote it. The original is absolutely GORGEOUS :-) (even makes me cry)
Woo! Like it.
I shall now go back to my broom cupboard... slightly chastened with thoughts of what can be achieved with spontaneity!
When I read "ad libber" I wasn't expecting, well, this... I'm stunned, quality. Both me and Mrs R love it.
Good grief, crumbs, wow... Spectacular
Tasty stuff. Love the groove.
Woo - creepy. Love it.
Oh yes. Righteous stuff.
