@fallingupart: Ahh, I need to enunciate better. The last verse is supposed to go "But the fire came to rest/In your white velvet breast/So I somehow know/That it's safe."
Also, the other verse you mention goes "I forgot all my songs/The words now are wrong." Thanks for lending another ear so I can clarify the words better.
Misheard lyrics?
"But (Bought?) the fucking T-Rex
In your wide velvet breast
So I somehow I know
That it's safe"
Do I have that right? You do say you "forgot all your songs / The words now are (all?) wrong." Perhaps I am hearing those last lines correctly. Hmmm.
@VishnuExpress (BabaPrince Joseph): I didn't write this particular song, but when I sing it I am thinking of the concept of "Monkey Mind" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mind_monkey in addition to the concept of "Getting the Monkey Off Your Back." No literal monkeys were harmed in the making of this song. ;)
Listened to all of the songs on this playlist and I must say I am pleasantly surprised. I like your lyrics and your melodies most of all.
Will be back for more.

Took me a "long long time" to discover this song, but I'm so glad I was finally able to thanks to the amazing third episode of "The Last of Us." Thank you for the kind words, Colleen!
I'm so happy to learn that you plan to take a look at the originals, c}{imps! I'm just here trying to honor my favorite songs and it's a true compliment if I can do well enough to make someone want to hear the "real" version. (-:
I had a lot of fun listening to this one. The subtle use of sitar and the chugging rhythm guitar are two cool things (of many) that jump out at me. Nice work, Steve! :)
10 years ago (April 3rd, 2008) I joined alonetone. Here is a rerecorded version of the first song I ever posted to alonetone. The song is "Girl is On My Mind" by The Black Keys
My aunt gifted me a 12 string guitar for Christmas and so I had fun trying it out for this song; I'm glad it turned out okay. As always, thanks for listening and for the encouraging words, Steve!
Comments on Tom's stuff
better than the original, nice job.
I like the mood this song sets
Tom Browning channeling Dylan when Bob had something real to say. Heartfelt and real. Nice.

Also - great rhythm. Am listening on terrible speakers, and you still made me tap my feet! :)
Great vocal control - love the choices you make. Very cool cover.
Added to my PF Surrogate Band playlist! http://alonetone.com/kavin/playlists/surrogate-band-pink-floyd-on-alonetone
Nice one!
Good song - like it
Yes, lovely cover!
Lovely voice - great vibrato and tone! Love this song. Super cool effects at 2 mins.
Interesting effect in there. I like the simple straight forward approach.

I like all four of your songs! The layered vocals on this one are particularly cool. :)
A nice "pick me up" in these uncertain times! The bongos and other percussive sounds are nicely juxtaposed with the simulated jet sounds. Cool stuff!
Thanks for the encouraging words, Tess! Authenticity is definitely what I'm going for with these songs.
@SisterSavage: As always, thank you for listening and thank you for your kind words, Tess!
Inspiring!

Thanks, Steve! It was fun trying to make the two guitars work and I'm glad the enjoyment extended beyond just me.
@theproods I'm very glad to hear that you're out there supporting some of the artists who inspired me so much!
Love this one; it’s great seeing you back on alonetone! :)
Glad you enjoyed it, Steve! I had some fun with this one. ;)
...you pretty much just described my life @fudetusk
Thanks @fudgetusk! By the way, that gum you like is going to come back in style.
@fudgetusk: Thanks for the kind words!
@fudgetusk Thanks for the kind feedback; I've really enjoyed my ten years here and I'm hoping for at least ten more!
Thanks, Steve! Atmosphere and emotion are definitely what I'm going for here!
I enjoyed what you did here, Steve! I can imagine this being the soundtrack to a remixed Road Runner cartoon.
