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…

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…

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…

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 my complete entry for the 2013 NaSoAlMo. The album is called Radio and it's a suite of seven songs tied together with the sound of a radio being tuned. It's done.
Song about idolising people. Mr Supercool is anyone we think deserves our idolatry - could be a him, or a her, or even oneself. Mr Supercool cares nothing for anyone. He has no love.
Anyway - glad to be back messing with music again after…
Although I do like your concept and your lyrics very much, I'm sure it will come as no surprise that my favorite part is the psychedelic guitar breakdown in the middle of the song.... Actually though there are quite a few things to like about this track: The synth string pad, the drums (I am so *weak* in this area, and really appreciate what you've done here!), not to mention the brief woodwind interlude (very tasty!) before the final chorus line and then more psychedelic guitar to the out. I've clicked the fave button, but afaik it's still busted.
Love the shifting sections of this piece.... Excellent guitar throughout, obviously --- but the bed tracks are all just excellently put together. Even a tantalizing vocal section at the very end. Well done, all around!!
I think this year marks my fourth crack at NaSoAlMo, National Solo Album Month. This song marks the first time in those four attempts that I've actually finished a song within the month of November.
Song by Nick Plagakis
Lyrics:
I don’t care for love and happiness
I got myself a yacht and a mansion
I don’t believe in God and religion
I got myself sixty four billion
Greed, greed, greed is what I need
Greed, greed, greed is what…
New song. Wrote the guitar part first, lyrics came later. This is one of the first songs I've done more than one track on in quite a while, and also one that isn't dark (unusual for me). Anyway, enjoy!
unfinished track for a three part composition.
If you live in the Fort Worth, TX area and would like to perform this live, send me an email. I'm finishing up part 2 and will start on Part 3 soon. I would like to put together a large ensemble…
Yeah, I know, it's early. But the Banjo Hangout is having a contest for banjo renditions of this tune, and I decided to toss my hat in the ring, so to speak. Might win the 6-string banjo first prize, which I can't imagine having any use for, or…
Molensteen.
Ik zie een molensteen versleten na z’n lange reis.
Door onkruid overwoekerd, traag verslonden door de tijd.
Bij een stenen muur of wat daar nog van over is.
Vertoont het treurige feit van alles dat ooit was word uitgewist…
Comments on Cave Street's stuff
great tune cave. clean EQ, tight mix. Keep thinking of a blues harp addition in there somewhere...
An excellent album and enjoyable listen ........
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!

mantra baby.
dyno. great sonics. very easy on the ears.
dig it
cool. would love to hear some gospel harmony with you on this.

Excellent! Can't wait to hear the whole thing. I just uploaded mine too! AT won't let me make a playlist though!

This is good stuff, the kind of song that sort of sucks you in and envelops you in it's own little sphere of sound. Excellent collab, gents!
Well it's an excellent song, RJ. Awesome guitar is a bonus!!
beautiful track, k
Great track, Nick!
Nice one! I liked the words a lot. Hope we can do some recording soon. - Michael
very meditative. looking forward to the rest.
This sounds really great! Very nice recording. Good luck on second place, but this might be too good!
Beautiful!
Epic stuff man, really like the drums on the section that starts about 2 minutes in.
Wow that guitar is LOUD and NASTY. Kick out the jams, Reggie!
Intense!!
It sounds like you are in tune with your instrument to me! ~:^)~
I haven't seen the commercials, but I love this track!
stone groove 4:20 coincidence? i think not
uitstekend zang!
favorite button does not seem to be working. :-(
As always, I love it. You are so patient with your music, it totally pays off.
