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…
Honest Man

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…

New one from me. It's ended up as a bit of a "crying into yer beer at Bob's Country Bunker" sort of song lol...
I've been sat on these lyrics in some form or another for absolutely years. I first wrote them one very dark night a few years after…
My 100th upload to Alonetone!
I played a pretty random arpeggio which I arranged into 3 versions of medium notes, long notes, and short notes followed by a gap. I cloned these version and transposed them up and down one octave respectively…

EDIT:
---------------------------------------------
I finally was able to remix the song. Please listen to "Fide On The Broom Stick (Version 2012)" in my track list to compare…
Nice track! I like the added orchestration right before 3 min... lots of nice textures & layers in this one, I like it as is. The title got my attention, love the Granny Weatherwax connection.
Recorded the intro and traffic sounds on my bus ride to work two years ago. This one is urban-esque, breakbeaty, and switches up the tempo a few times. And there are fat funky synths to boot.
I haven't tried the vox pipes in a few months. I've been sickly and singing was out of the question. After 24 days of instrumental RPM, I started getting back to 99%.
Might as well sing right? Better yet , let me trash the greatest song of…
This is a piece written for 37signals, made to accompany a [fun video they did on Letterpress printing](http://37signals.com/svn/posts/2795-a-letterpressed-thank-you)
The track is best listened to in context of the video, since it's scored…
This is a tune I picked up from alonetone a while back. Johnny did a piano version of "I'd Love to Change the World", and Michael Thomas from Cave Street added the outstanding vocals.
When Michael told me he was doing the vox on it, I wanted…
I saw "the Watchmen"....got me thinking.
are we truly immortal?
will we live through the material passing
or have we died oh so close to the light
not from this earth
not bound by its laws
A slave of no one
I will move beyond

Final version
One of my heroes. Willie McTell was blind from birth and travelled all over the south in the thirties at a time when many people would never go more than 20 miles from their home.
Plus nobody sings the blues quite like him…
Final version
RPM 2011 - my first track recorded and the opening track for the CD
A kind of Old Time gospel number, which, if you listen to those pre-war guitar playing preachers, are virtually indistinguishable from blues. Except for the lyrics…
Aw, we tried to make this a bit more pro, but sometimes the really fun moments in life are fleeting. So here it is warts and all. But don't mind that - just get out onto the dance floor with Reg! It's ok: he's up to date on his shots.

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.
Comments made by Cave Street
Your vocals & some of your lyrics remind me of Trey Anastasio... Love the change about a minute & a half in - jamming track!!
Excellent work, reminds me of Blue Rodeo, one of my all-time favorite bands!
One of my all time favorite NY tunes (and that's really saying something)... nice one, esp. the extra bendy guitar parts - Neil would approve!
Nice one, Dave. I could never attempt this in a million years! Good work.
I'm a little late to the party, but happy 100th nonetheless! *LOVE* this track!
Nice track! I like the added orchestration right before 3 min... lots of nice textures & layers in this one, I like it as is. The title got my attention, love the Granny Weatherwax connection.
nice one dig the tempo change
Paul, I think this is your best vocal yet, it sounds as if you're exploring a new range! The backing vox add a whole other dimension.
enjoyed the video! well done!
this is excellent!
cheers mate
This digs so deep today.
Too much! Great track, *love* the vocal!
Great stuff, Stu! This is the real deal!
nice track, I dig this record!
psychedelic!
Loving the layers of sound!
Really like this one! I would like to be able to read the words to this one. All of them actually, so please post the lyrics!
really liking you album, dude... but out of listening time right now. will resume later
Great track!!! Thanks for the comments, Norm. Lyrics have been posted.... :-)
