Left here smilin' but you came back mean
Ain't no need to tell me, I know where you've been
Ya tell me you love me, an' you really care
an' if you just had some more, you'd be happy to share
You came back wantin' once you'd lost in all…
Sloane did me a favor & played an electric guitar part on this one. I had hoped to work with her more on this project, but she wound up leaving town to help take care for a recovering family member.

A WildGeas and Cave Street collaboration
You see me and I see you
Is that what's real?
You say bad and I say good
Which one is real?
When you do the things you do
Then how do you feel?
There's a time
There's a season
For change…

I've been all around
I've been up and down
I said I've traveled in all directions
Now
The world is new
If you've seen what I've seen
And you've been where I've been
I guess you know what I mean
Now
The world is new

This is an experiment in stacking real time delay/looped tracks that had no preconceived connections... all overdubs were done without listening to previously recorded tracks. I hear some very interesting synchronizations.... You?

Paper hearts in your window
paper hearts on your door
Paper hearts ripped in pieces
And Strewn across the floor

The intentions of old…
Goodbye Blue Monday

Goodbye blue Monday
There's nothing else to say
We always knew
we would part this way
Time comes to say goodbye
To pause perhaps and wonder why
Why we always had to be
So blue, so blue
I can see that life…
I'm still getting around to re-upping everything I took down last October.... this is one of them, and if I recall correctly, this is the track that was the impetus for Paul & I to start collaborating. (Something I've been missing a lot…
My Last Demon

My last demon
Follows me around
I hear his suggestions
But you don't hear a sound
My last demon
Is riding in the back
He looks like he's sleeping
But he's on the attack
He leans in and whispers
And I forget…
I did this weeks ago & then found it again last night as I was archiving old files. This is one of those one-off improv sessions... I recorded the rhythm guitar in one pass, then one "lead" pass and then one vocal pass, and done. Even the…
This one is for all of you intrepid audio explorers out there: our latest experimental improv featuring Treefrog on electrified cigar box & washboard... Definitely not for the faint of heart!

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

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.

I had to drop in on this tune. It's the best. ~WG
I love the sustained note at the beginning and end, it speaks volumes. Kind of makes me hold the breath while listening!
Very intimate sounding, like you are singing to yourself in ponderous mood.
Ahh, there's lovely as we say in Wales! That voice just melts me!
Dig this alien freakout.
Cool and intriguing. I like!
Another great track mate.

Classic Cave Street. My side of the Street.

Very well done for a one pass recording, it keeps all the sponteneity that way.
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.
