Toward You
-
With each new day I'll seek a way
To get as close as I may
Toward you
It's my destiny to set you free
Until then I can only see
Toward you
Throughout the night under the light
Of the moon I drive
Toward you
Through rain and snow…
Break my Stride
-
Break my stride break my stride
Ain't nothin' gonna break my stride
When I feel this way
There's only one thing to do
Nothin' gonna break my stride
Gonna walk down the road
til I get back to you
Nothin' gonna break my stride…

I went down to the riverside
Way on down where the water's deep and wide
I stripped right down to my naked skin
I jumped in the river and hoped I'd learn to swim
Cause I knew the river would take me
or I'd learn
And whether I live…

January Town
-
With the snow coming down
in this January town
how could I not think of you
Oh the words that you said
still echo in my head:
When one dies one is born anew
In the parking lot of the graveyard
a stranger walked up to me
he said…
Movin' On
-
Whatever thoughts we had
of any home we once had known
were cast off way back down the road
we're movin'on
I know we've gone too far
to ever see somethin' that's new
but that's a price I'll pay
to stay this close to you
There may…

pictures in a magazine

more questions than answers (posing)
a whole lot of nothing (showing)
spaces for rent (free for owning)
brimming with treasure (hidden)
Surprises crucial (owing)

this was a much needed and very enjoyable break from listening\mixing. you should be very proud of your effort. some of the best stuff i have heard so far.
Dream Song
-
Was I dreaming in my bed
Visions of the past
Rollin' through my head
Or was I driving in my car
Rain fallin' down
I couldn't see very far
Strange animals in shadows by the road
I knew a secret
But I forget everything I'm told…
Heaven Comes
-
Sometimes you have everything
Sometimes you have none
Sometimes you are separate
Sometimes you are one
In the midst of all your suffering
Sometimes Heaven Comes
Here's something for those bitter times
Here's something…
Matter of Time
-
Yeah we're up on our feet
People out in the street
And we're out to put heat on you
Your situation is dire
Your gonna burn in your fire
Til you find your empire's through
Ooh just a matter of time til you find
That…

This is a piece in a microtonal tuning - but sounds very much like pentatonic in "normal" 12 equal tuning to my ears. But I work in microtonal tunings all the time and may be biased.
How "in tune" does this sound to you?
I'm digging the peaks & valleys in this one, it really has an epic feel for a four minute piece... I like the ending, but I must admit I half expected you to add "...or did they?" at the last second!
She hangs a little garden
so everyone can fit in her yard
when it's time to take tea
fills it up when they're walking about
they really knew how to twist and shout
and they're always going back that way again

This is a solid little tune, catchy as can be with several unexpected twists. Would love to be able to read along with all of the lyrics - please post 'em!
Started out be an innocent little jazzy study in quartal harmony, but the DL4 was still in my signal path and things went downhill from there! Another done with my beloved '58 Stratotone
No im not happy and no im not sad, no im not good but i know im not bad. No i wont go there, but no i wont stay, no im not straight but no im not gay, no need to tell me i know im not right, no happy endings and no end in sight. I got no way of…

This is a “cross-over” pattern. Cross-over patterns are a type of enharmonic polymeter, where 2 rhythms with different numbers of beats/measure are played at the same tempo: the measures do not line up each time. These rhythms have measures…

so small but so loud
its voice fills the woodlands and moorlands and farms
its beautiful song
so vibrant and full

this is based on an improve from back in jan 75, then guitarist - chris layed this riff out and i never forgot it. it was the first time i was in a band as a bassist. the rest of the riffs are mine and everything else disastrous done in this song…
Wow, psychedelic! I dig the stereo vocals, but I'd really like to hear all the vocals panned dead center... very cool track reminiscent of B.O.C. *Rock On!*
This is a remix of an improvised track I did for our first RPM album. For this new mix, I got rid of the vocals & added a most excellent electric guitar part by our good friend, Chris Mitchell. He listened to the track just once and proceeded…
Nice piece! I really like the tension the guitar brings in at about 2 minutes... and again at about 3 1/2 min. Also cool how you break it all down at the end.
The first of 4 tunes coming your way with
the spotlight on my friend "Michael Thomas of Cave Street"

This one is my favorite and chills me every time I hear it.
It never, ever, gets old.
Until Then (Shine…
I just wanted to say thanks to everyone for all the nice comments, and thanks again to my friend Paul for giving me such great tunes to work with! It looks like I'll soon have internet & *my very own* computer at home again soon & will be able to get back to listening to all you fine & creative musicians! I have been missing it greatly!!
Comments on Cave Street's stuff
loving your vocal on this ......
I had to stop and start this one I thought the house alarm had gone off....
Top quality post. Ticks all the boxes for me and then some.
rockin tune had to play some piano with it
Great song...all the songs on the new album are wonderful!
...a time a place and a girl. Nice song. Cool imagery...."snow has hushed the sound..." And the graveyard reference.
The vibe this song creates is quite indescribable. Johnny Cash style vox with a spacey guitar and backbeat. I like it.
Big smiles here man :) This is greatness. I'm with Mars - Gospel harmony would be the addition to bring this to a new level.
Whoa! A bit different for Cave Street. I'm liking the lower register vox.
I have way to many Cave Street favorites. The list is long indeed. This one takes the cake bro. Honestly :) Play it loud....
There are no storytellers of your caliber left on this planet. IMHO :)
I love it!
Great lyrics, and nice song writing!
this was a much needed and very enjoyable break from listening\mixing. you should be very proud of your effort. some of the best stuff i have heard so far.
mantra baby.
dyno. great sonics. very easy on the ears.
dig it
cool. would love to hear some gospel harmony with you on this.
stylin' . great clean sound. guitar and rhythm are blended so nicely.
damn good way to open! smooth.

This one had the wife giggling appropriately as it went on... :-D
I hear bits where it's obviously not the "standard" tuning we've been trained to hear as "right" but this piece is quite beautiful to my ears!

Have I told you lately that I love this little piece of spontaneous composition?
excellent tune! love the subtleties of the arrangement, backing vox, acoustic lead guitar, nicely done!
Diggin it! Poi Dog Pondering meets Bob Dylan then they both get schooled by Alex Moody! :-)
excellent
A great vocal and great harp on this oh so timely recording. Thank you my friend for sharing this very important music!
... I'm digging into this space you have carved in time...
Love It!!!
nice one

most excellent!
Chris, I love your stuff. It's most elevating, to say the very least. Thank you.
Cheers, Jarvoid!
I dig this riff and the different synth textures. I haven't heard all your stuff yet, but this one is my favorite so far!
nice one!
