Hey friends, it's been awhile! I just got back from Alpharetta, where I managed to get a few short hours hanging with my good friend Treefrog. We recorded a whole bunch of weird noises & then decided to do at least one "real" song. This is…
I have touched and I have known
the memories of stone
And echoes of the oceans
are etched upon my bones
My body's of the earth
and my spirit's of the sky
My mind is of the matter
these memories will never die
So let's go down below…
This is my submission for Akron/Family's "Woody Guthrie's America" Project.

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…
(RPM 2011) For obvious reasons, many RPM albums make use of improvisational sound collages. ;-) This is the first of three that divide the record into sections. You may or may not hear the connections in the lyrics, but it actually does make…

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.

Come Tomorrow
-
I'm like a tumbleweed, got no roots
I'm like a climbing vine, leaves and chutes
Come tomorrow, I might not be around
Come tomorrow
I'm a reflection, you see me in your mirror
A missed connection, so far and yet right here…

As far as I recall, that was simply a stock rhythm track from an old Alesis drum machine. I was applying some effects in real time during the mix, bringing the level up & down which gives it that cool swirly dynamic...
Thanks for listening!

@rinyville - Thanks for the response! I tend to want to bury my vocals in the mix... I resisted the urge this time, but when I listen back, it just seems too loud. I am really curious if anyone agrees that it could stand to be brought down just a touch?

To all who commented, thanks for listening! I do think the vocal is *just a bit* too loud... anyone agree with that assessment?
@Mr Sandbags - I did actually smoke Marlboros once upon a time, but that was over twenty years ago! No more tobacco for me!
Do You Believe?
Lyrics
I have touched the sky
I have sailed the Universe
I discover new worlds
I don't see the time go by
Do you believe in the bridge to Asgard?
Do you believe in Noah's great flood?
Do you believe in the Hopi Star…
Destination
Lyrics
My ship and I don't like to wait
I'm on my way
My ship and I don't celebrate
the victory of the day
My ship and I don't like to wait
I'm on my way
My destination takes me oh, so far away
My new position brings…
Outer Rings
Lyrics
I sail the night
across the galaxy
Flyin' fast
tryin' to catch up tomorrow
when we'll go dancin'
on the Outer Rings
We'll go dancin' if you'll dance with me
I'm way out here
Just beyond the big bang
Here's…
My Window
Lyrics
The stars go by my window each and every day
I can see the Earth about a billion miles away
the Sun is getting bright
It's been so long since I left the atmosphere
I can't wait to breath our open air
I'm coming home…
L.L.A.P.
First Frontier
Lyrics
Let me take you on a trip
across the Universe
to a world not like our own
a place that we'll call Earth
where things take time and
things take space
and Ideas fill the sky
where seasons change with…
With Big Time Operator, who originally uploaded his awesome music with the offer that anyone can add vocals...too good to miss! Love this music, and had loads of fun wailing. Thanks Chris!
Played on BBC Radio Introducing. :)

.
Full moon, full of mystery
Full moon, shadows thru the trees
I can feel your spell, I’m beggin at you please
So long I been straight and true
No wrong has come into view
I can feel that dark side, all because of you
Way down…
Chord progression reminds me of early era Deep Purple, vocals & guitar remind me of New Morning Era Bob Dylan. For me, that's a very nice combo. Really great track! :-)

This is track five from our 2014 RPM album, [Eleven](http://alonetone.com/cavestreet/playlists/eleven)
Thanks for listening guys! I'm a little disappointed with my mix, may have to try again. Don't get much time with the deck these days & I'm a bit rusty. I've been having a great time doing improvs with my new looper, but sadly nearly all the jams go unrecorded....

2-3-14 Improv with new acoustic & new delay/looper. By the end of the month I'll probably have two or three albums worth of outtakes of this kinda stuff. Haven't even scratched the surface…

Holy crap...I emailed you back, totally blew me away! I freakin love it. Can't even explain how well your voice fit with that riff. Wow...

Comments made by Cave Street
Beautiful piece... I keep waiting for Tom Waits to start singing for some reason.... really great work here, Geas. Superb.
Some of my favorite WildGeas lyrics /ever/! I agree with Johnny Stone: Brilliant!
I like how this is a companion piece to "My Window" -- well done!
Holy moly! Way to let you inner 80's pop star shine! Wow!
Your the sound of your keyboard & your style of playing on this remind me of Glenn from Ween. Impressive!
Love the lazer beam sounds! Zube tube?
One of my all-time faves from Dweeb (aka Nair)! Looking forward to hearing your new one here on Alonetone.
Kudos to all involved! Excellent work! :-)
This however, IS a Beatles song! :-) And an excellent version to boot!
Excellent work, sir! Very inspiring as well as inspired! Keep it up!
This is a great ride so far... and I'm only half way through!

Good vibes! Well done!
Super fun, you guys! Couple of my favorite GD tunes, right here. Rockin' Other One, bass bombs included!
Dig it! Deep sound.
Love it! Faved!
Hey Kavin! Thanks for the comment, this track needed some love! :-)
Nice one, Johnny!

Thanks Geas! Turns out that at one hour, eleven minutes, and eleven seconds, it's only a *double* album. :-)
