You asked me where these rumors start.
"I don't know," I said and crossed my heart.
But I told you I did not hope to die.
You said you can't trust no more.
Why start now? You never did before.
Now I just have to pause and wonder…

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?

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

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.

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…

As night falls, a cold wind blows
Together we shall strive
Hold me now before I fall apart
and come undone in pieces
and fall to the earth the like rain
Hold on through the dark
Hold on climbing together
Hold on to me as…

Thanks to all for the comments, and thanks for listening. This is my favorite thing I've written in quite awhile. Not sure if it's in spite of or because of the pain that inspired it, but either way, it allowed me transcend the overwhelming depression to which I had awoken.

This is the third, maybe forth time I recorded this tune.
I like this one best.

This one rewards repeated listening... (I especially love the instrumental break before the last verse). I'd like to put this tune on our community radio station, if you don't mind. (WUTZ radio, 88.3 in Summertown, TN) ~ Let me know if that's okay.

A quickly improvised tune with some stream-of-consciousness lyrics. Written/recorded hastily in the dead of night on Tuesday 11/27 with a short overdub session on Thursday 11/29, when I should have been sleeping.
All basic tracks…
Hey, thanks Reg. I'll try to keep it open... I recently moved all my music/recording gear from my cramped bedroom to my son's old room now that he's at university. This was the first 1/2 way decent thing I recorded since I set up in here. I'm gonna try to keep things rolling so I'll be warmed up for RPM 2013! :-) Peace.
Hi folks - Uncle Paul is back at it after a 4 month hiatus from music.
Sometimes I just have to walk away from it. I'm sure most of you know what I'm talking about.
I forced myself through the 2012 RPM Challenge
and quit playing right after…
Excellent, PAL! Now get back in there & send me that tempo track for Blue! :-)
Much love,
~Tennessee Tea
PS - I really like when the drums drop out about 2:30 in....
I like your recent live take on this you posted, I'd really like to see this lyrics posted for this.... This is a great track!
*great harmonica too!*
Peace, Michael
A rough and ready audience recording of my set at open mic night at Queens Park Centre, Aylesbury.
Setlist:
Stand Up But Not To Fall
Revolution
All Was Nothing
Colin, I just tried to post a track by track commentary on this, and it just disappeared. Rather than trying to recreate it, let me just say thanks for posting this live performance. Well done indeed, sir! I hope to hear more of this kind of thing...

Hey Colin! Good on ya! While the sound quality isn't exactly stellar, it's quite good enough to hear the intensity & emotion of the performances. I'm glad you posted this!
Stand: Wow, an oldie to start.. it really starts to hit me about a minute in -- nice performance!
Revolution: Love the intro - excellent performance, a timely resurrection...
All was nothing: Another great composition; I can see why you're still playing it 10 years on, though I hope the hurt has healed!
I love the chord changes & would appreciate being able to read the lyrics for all these tracks!
Thanks again for putting this up, I'd like to hear more live tracks from you & the others on this site.
Cheers,
Michael
A rather flat version of an original instumental jam played live as a four piece in the studio.we played reserved compared to normal renditions. others wanted this on the album, i voted no. we made our 35 minutes. thank god!
We've all met them! Haha. Got a bit of a rocky head on doing this.

With summer in full swing, and festivities nearby, I often think about how others across the globe celebrate their summers.
I hadn't been able to post much lately because I managed a composer contract for a game, and have been helping a local…
this was one of our first takes of the month. still in search of a mix at this point in the month. my personal low point because i forgot my lyric notes and really cut my words short and didnt sing or deliver well. i highly believe in moving on…
Comments on Cave Street's stuff
Brilliant the whole feel the honesty great vocal loved it"....."
thanks for all the great comments Cave!
Pretty cool stuff. Sadly I've overlooked your music for too long. Sorry.
a trick of the light, part two
That is pretty interesting! I must try some experiment like that myself
Humanity in a nutshell!
There's such subtle slow build to this. Great track.
Yep it's still beautiful. I just had time to hear it in the album setting. This has been a great half hour ..
What a beautiful song. Great vocal, Mr Street.
*no words*
Wow, mournful and affecting.
Beautiful.
Who doesn't love this guy's voice? Just gorgeous.
What an appetiser! Ice cool!
I'll be back for a proper listen......have to take the wife to work.....she is yelling.....I really like what I hear so far.....
If this is what arises from depression, then there is at least one good thing about that. It's a good song, enjoyed it!
Excellent. Love your voice (as always) and guitar tremelo. Post the lyrics!

@ Wildgeas - this totally needs some harmonica!
This is a keeper :)

I like this a lot! Very spacey & meditative & then that last minute gets intense... Dig the vibra-slap!
Well, *I* like it! :-)
This rocks!! Reminds of Bevis Frond without all the psychedelic noodling. Well done
Nice tune, bad situation. Good luck stopping this...
Great work, guys! We need more tracks like this
this is a cool track
Welcome to alonetone! I like the changes in this song...
nice one!
parts of this remind me of something from Michael Hedges' taproot album.... nice track!
double yes
