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.

I guess I knew this would happen. Talk about creating one's own reality Sheeeeesh. End of the month and my pen has been re-fueled and I added some vox to this one, plus some lead guitar, and a bit of synth strings. I also took a shot at some…
I keep writing songs about communism, for some reason. I thought it was slightly amusing to discover that Mashino actually IS an industrial town. Sounds like "Machine". Get it? Get it??
I love this little PSYCHEDELIC piece so much, I'd steal it if I could... but everytime I try to get ahold of it, it wriggles out of my grasp.... so it goes
Cave Street posted a track recently, their contribution to the Woody Guthrie Project, organised by Akron Family.

I wanted to take a shot at this too, so here's my demo. It was really just half…
Ever since i heard Cave Street's Creator Protector Destroyer (from their 2010 RPM album) run from that song back into the opening didj of Onion Bell (the first track) i wanted to put the lyrics to that pulsing energy, and today i had time to give…
You're a fantastic songwriter, I'm looking forward to hearing all of your stuff.... would really like to see lyrics for the songs that have them! (Love the change just before two minutes in.)
I made a song out of the fable "The Boy and the Schoolmaster" by Jean De La Fontaine, that french writer from the 17th century.
And here's the story:
"
A boy, that frolicked on the banks of Seine,
Fell in, and would have found a watery grave…
For this I wanted to create some longing sounding atmosphere. To create the (somewhat annoying) guitar part in the second half I used an ebow.
"
you stand a long time at the door
observe the lighting on the floor
you are not welcome anymore
no…
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 :)
Comments made by Cave Street
Funky as hell!
Nothing wrong with this... Robert Fripp would be proud!
Way to shred those vocal chords, Dave! Get out of the way, Lemmy!
I love this little PSYCHEDELIC piece so much, I'd steal it if I could... but everytime I try to get ahold of it, it wriggles out of my grasp.... so it goes
PS - Dave, please post your lyrics for all these tunes....
Around the world in one album.... Thanks for taking me on that 20,000 mile trip with you, Dave! Keep on rockin' bro!

You're a fantastic songwriter, I'm looking forward to hearing all of your stuff.... would really like to see lyrics for the songs that have them! (Love the change just before two minutes in.)
Like the vibe of this one.
