A wonderful throwback to the instrumental past -- you two are too talented. Again, if these are demos, well.....looking forward to hearing the full album!!!
This is really a true story.
No, really...
And our holiday gift to you & your friends. (Feel free to download it and share it with anyone who you think might enjoy it.)
Oh... by the way... acl is finally waking from a very deep slumber…
I am a man, of means,
I mean I hide behind my strongest teeth.
White Ivories, white ivory.
I tread on hollow ground,
Broken glass, and longer ways down.
Than metaphors, engulfing me
I stare up at night,
Wonder who else might feel such a fright…
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.
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…
New original from me, hot off the old wotsit.

As I reflected on the 100th anniversary this past year of the ship's sinking, this song brought me back to the piano and this was the rendition that was produced as I thought of that fateful night. Original music by James Horner and lyrics by…
I am slowly coming to the realization that I am sacred.
I trust you do as well.

To hate the life I was born into
And I almost lost myself in this fight
Cutting what was so sacred
I could not see beyond…
Once upon a time, a man couldn't think of a song to save his life, and then one night it just came together. I miss the cello though. (all recordings are a work in progress)
BTW ~ our kitty is our manager. Her name is, MzKitty. Goofing off is not an option. Get caught? Out comes those claws...ouch!
And another really fine track!
Collaboration with my sister. Figured I should put it in. Have you ever felt like you were bad news for those that dated you? Well this song is about that feeling. (All songs are a work in progress)
The core of the music is heavily inspired by Joni Mitchell. Its been spinning around for years in my head so hearing this song finally recorded feels good.
This is a bonus track of sorts for the mock EP It takes a village. I had the verse chord chages around for many years but just until last week the song and lyrics came together really quickly. I thought I heard a band arrangement originally but…
Had written this one many years ago. I had it recorded originally in a different key and with different instrumentation but it I just was not happy with it. I deleted the original lyrics for the chorus and added a bridge section and lyrics. I…
