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.

For our beautiful son Willem, in French Guillaume.
recorded in my livingroom, 16-7-2009.
I called the song Guillaume before because of the beautiful sound.
Since 2012 I changed the title of the song into : Willem.
Because that makes much…
My first rejected Ramen Music submission.
Too Much
I wrote you a letter but I never sent it
I was afraid you might never get it
or what if you did and I lived to regret it
and it was just too much for me to take
now its four in the morning…
Is it incomplete? Yes... Does it need a whole lot of cleaning up? Yes... Are there lyrics? Yes... Does it need more arrangement? Yes (but that's coming with a little collaboration on the way)... So, yes the title is the actual title to…
I was singing along to this one! Was ready to ask for a spot on this track before I read the about & saw you already had something in the works... can't wait to hear it!
Dedicated to my friend Paul Lennon.
Once You asked me
If I could see the end
It's okay to tell the truth
I don't want you to pretend
And I said I would not lie
But I don't believe it ends
It goes on And on Forever Forever
It goes on…

As with pretty much all of our stuff, it's all recorded live with microphones.... Plenty of overdubs, but no samples, loops, or what have you. Treefrog on the drums, me on the rest of it.
Thanks for the comment, Star, and welcome to Alonetone! ~ Michael
Had to be different. I started out with 12 string accoustic chord progression and all and all these wonderful folky ideas but this is was I stuck with.
Well, my son and I were sitting around the backyard last night. A nice fire going, I was playing my acoustic, and we heard this crazy cricket chirping away very close to us. My son asked if I could record him with my "machine". Out came the…
Firstly: This is SOOOO Excellent!!! In years gone by I also have been inspired by the cricket songs here in the deep south...
Secondly: POST THE WORDS (please)! Us old folks' ears need the assistance...
Thirdly: I truly hope I'm the first member of the Berry and Berry (B&B for short) fan club!!!
I took you seriously
I took it carefully
I didn't want to breathe too loudly
I walked around silently
I didn't say a word
Fear was there beside me
I know it sounds absurd
But so what?
So what.
I lived without money
I've lived without…
One for my electronic friends. It's just a bunch of patches mixed with MIDI and glued together with 1 part water, 2 parts flour, and 2 parts ectoplasma.
Enjoy!
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 :)

Happy Pirate Day, indeed. How'd you do these drums, Dave?
@Dave Berry - Thanks dude, you're too kind.

New Fave.
This takes me way back when to a space in time I've never been to and yet it's so, so familiar... Words fail....

A W E S O M E ! ! ! Most excellent job, guys!
This is deeply psychedelic & very much appreciated. Highly transportational.
I like this one a lot, it sounds joyous!
Wow, this one is moving. Intense dynamic there at the emotional peak...
It's hammer time! Siriusly. :-)
Welcome to alonetone Jim! There's lot's of great folks & great music here... so you're gonna be right at home! :-) <3 Michael
A very kinetic piece. When I close my eyes I feel like I'm flying over a landscape!
I can dig it... wow it really kicks in after about a minute! Great dynamics. Love the space in the beats
