Another of the classics, great choice Tom. I may do this one too one of these days!

A true lover of the art of music takes the time to not only work on their own art, but support the music of other artists. I respect and admire the time you've invested in listening and commenting on so much music here. Additionally, I'm very honored that you would devote time to listening to anything I post here. Thanks again, Ken!

Thanks Tom... i'll go through your entire track list in time. Good entrance song from Dec. 2011

Oh, wow...I don't get much feedback these days, so your kind words are much appreciated, Ken! I hope you keep creating and posting your music as well - I'm really enjoying it. :)

I did this song once, the file is lost, but your version kills mine anyways....

STP!!! Fav. song . Cool job on this.

Love this song!

Keep singing Tom, she's a beaut!

@KnD thanks for your enthusiasm and encouragement! The song is directed at a very important woman in my life. I hope she likes it. :)

Cool! Hope you get some!

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.

@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. ;)

a tune with you will be good, so i can tell you how without cage, you don't to take a monkey home.

nice sentiments put to music - good one!

fantastic tune...

exactly what i´m trying to do...cheers from brazil!

Thanks, Steve! I tried to go real lo fi on this one -- no overdubs. I figured I was due for some optimism in my song choices after recording all of Beck's Sea Change.

You definitely did a great job capturing Buckethead's propensity to mix in improv with more structured songs (in this case, "Jowls"). It would be super cool to hear you try out "Scraps," should you feel the desire to give another Buck song a go: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvUGTmaKWTg

Dude! I love everything about this. Amazing stuff, Steve!

I felt downright awful as I was recording this song, "Already Dead," and "Side of the Road," so maybe my state of mind and body at the time added an additional charge to these songs? Either way, I'm glad you enjoyed them and I appreciate your ongoing encouragement, Steve!

A thoughtfully constructed and genuinely performed song, Steve. I particularly appreciate that way the violin and acoustic guitar interweave throughout. Nice job!

I'm glad that my recent run of Beck songs resonates with you, Steve! There's a therapeutic quality to them and I think that aspect manifests in the way I translate Beck's vocals. It's a nice bonus that it's somehow enjoyable for others, such as you, to listen to.

As my old Algebra teacher used to say: Keep It Simple, Stupid! I've found that some of the best songs are the most simple. Glad to hear that this approach has translated well to your ears, Steve. Thanks, as always, for listening.

Indeed, the chord changes were sometimes a bit tricky, but I think I managed to practice them well enough to get a finished product out there without too much trouble. Thanks, as always, for the kind feedback, Steve!

Love the funky bass in this one, Steve! My only "complaint" (if you want to call it that) is that I wish it were a little longer. That said, what you've made here sticks in the listener's mind far longer than its 1 and half minute run time might suggest, so I can see how one could argue the length is perfect.

Spot on insights, Steve! I think the author of the song was drawing on Thomas Mann's "Magic Mountain," particularly its meditation on the subjective nature of time. For example, time sometimes can seem to stand still when spending time with those we hold most dear.

Thanks for the comments, Guest. A log cabin sounds lovely - I hope it is everything you hope it is.

Thanks for listening and for your feedback, @TheProods. Calling this a Peanut Butter Cup is a good summation of my collaborations with DoktorDoktor. From a distance you might think we wouldn't be compatible, but, once you get past any initial reservations, you realize we make a surprisingly good combination, haha!

Aptly titled--I definitely was stomping along to the rhythm of this song. You mix a nice contrast of styles here. Well done, Steve!

Thanks for listening so closely, Steve! I was definitely going for something more emotional here, so it's cool that you caught that.

A really cool contrast between crunchy verses and catchy choruses, Steve! Big thumbs up!

Thanks, Steve! It's been really therapeutic to play around with these Sea Change songs and it's cool you're enjoying listening to that catharsis (not everyone would be so keen on listening to the more emotional stuff, so I appreciate you taking the time to listen!)

Thanks @theProods! This was a fun collab with Dokdoktor, so I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Amazing stuff, Steve! You have a real knack for combining catchy beats with creative soundscapes. Looking forward to hearing more!

I really like the mix of sounds you have going on here, Steve! The highest complement I know to pay is to say that it reminds me of a mix of AC Newman's "Town Halo" and Buckethead's best album, "Population Override" (which also tells a sci-fi story across several instrumentals). That said, you obviously have your own muse and it's one I appreciate.

Cool experimental sounds you have here, Steve! I really appreciate how you never rest on your laurels by relying on a formula. Instead you push your sounds in new and exciting ways--it's quite inspirational. So what's this one about? Does h/phones suggest we should be listening to this with headphones to get the desired effect? I can def see how this would be even more impactful w/ headphones!
