Never, never again. How many times have we all uttered that statement the "morning after?" This song explores the regrets from the night before and blames it all on "devil drink cider called Johnny Jump Up".
Contrary to public opinion, the term "The Holy Ground" doesn't refer to the Emerald Isle. Nope. It's the name of a whore house that Irish sailors would visit. The Irish have quite a sense of humor...!
This is from our album, "When I Was Your Age," recorded entirely in the month of February for our third year participating in the RPM Challenge. "When I Was Your Age" is a collection of 13 songs looking back at when we were kids.

"Tell Me Ma", was featured on National Public Radio's Second Stage. As NPR put it: "Beatnik Turtle is a remarkably prolific and fiercely independent rock group based in Chicago. The eight-piece band includes a full horn section and has been making…
This song's extremely popular and so has been done to death. We decided if we were going to re-make this one, we had to try something new. So, we hit on the 7/4 time signature, the melodica (thought it was bagpipes, didja?), and arrangement. By…

Here's a song about that crush on the teacher many of us will remember - but maybe not totally admit...
Many thanks to another cultural landslide (http://alonetone.com/anotherculturallandslide ) for sending a neat MIDI riff for this song. We…

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!!!
I love 80s music , for me it was the best decade in terms of quality so here lies the inspiration for this track , the sound is heavily 80s influenced , the bass , synth and bells are reminiscent of this time so i haope you enjoy it and please…

Meathead syndrome,
No goals, no control.
The light, the time
It’s in my mind,
Oh fine,
Won’t be polite
Some lines
Have not progressed in Mind
Meathead syndrome,
No goals, no control,
Meathead syndrome,
No cure,
Not attuned to be here
Oh leave…
"You wanna see talent? Come over to my house and watch my kids play Rock Band."
Hilarious!
I guess I should admit that I occasionally enjoy a bit of Rock Band...
you tell me what you want
you tell what you need
i cant give you nothing honey
but this pretty little seed
where has the sun gone
and is it gone forever
will it come back someday
should we just give it some time
i ask you what…
Neat tune! It reminds me of a Leonard Cohen/Roger Waters kind of thing. There was also a band a number of years back called King Swamp that this REALLY reminds me of.

The vocals...is that both of you I hear??! Sweet. You two sound terrific.
First - love your album cover!!!! Second, we can't agree more with the sentiment of this song...! Our type of melody, too.
Love it - Nice sounds and space!
