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 track has the best drum work I've heard from you Paul. Are you playing a midi kit or programming by hand? The fill at 1:11 is super tight. Okay, I'm inspired! Gonna go lock myself in the music room for the night....
Love the beginning of this... favorited just from the piano riff & then that muted horn sound comes in too! So tasty...
So is this gonna be an instrumental album? I might have to steal this track when we're done with November!
Seriously man, this one of my all-time favorite things I ever heard from you -- and that my friend is saying something!
Hey this is supposed to be a solo album project! No fair, you brought Noah and all those Guardians of the sky! You know I love this one! The ending reminds me of a Sphongle track. Have you ever heard those dudes?
Dudes! Do you know there is over 4 minutes and 20 seconds of silence at the end of this track? I sat through all of it thinking there was some sort of bonus cut coming or something... (but I'm a dork like that) Anyway, I understand not wanting to hassle with fixing clams and such, but you could at least lop off the last third of the track that contains no music?! :-) Oh, by the way, did I say KILLER TRACK! Love your tones, guys! Looking forward to hearing more. More notes, less silence! :-)
drowning in a sea of vaseline
alive or dead or somewhere in between
sit very still and read a magazine
wash and wash but never get it clean
it must be true I saw it on the screen
painting all the roses for the queen
don't eat that you don…
A story about waking up from a nightmare only to find you're in another nightmare. Told in a eerie, floaty downtempo breakbeat voice, shining a flashlight upward on my face for extra creepiness.
Recursive dreams are really bizarre.

A lil rocker influenced by some of my faves, Springsteen, Petty etc.. well i left my home and family
and made my way out west
i lost my job at the steel mill
im a hoping for the best
in this life
for my kids and wife
just outside of Davenport…
You have done your influences proud with this one! Great mix of all the instruments creates a nice wall of sound without sounding at all cluttered. Well done!
Well the new women in Regs life became the keeper and his wife and they lived happily ever after...well up to now anyway...Reg can never seem to keep the pessimistic thoughts totally at bay but he was trying...He felt reborn on the birth of his…
Well Reg has finally had some good luck he's stopped drinking or at least for a while and a beautiful girl has walked into his life ..is she the one?
Love is in the Air (Lyrics)
I couldn’t believe my luck as she walked in through the door
wandered…
Here's number 08 in the saga of Reg……………..Reg has been so down since he stopped drinking…….he feels so alone he's gone and done something stupid…..but luckily he was found by the postman unconscious on the steps leading to his bedsit….the postman…
Heres Track 5 for the RPM carry on with the Saga of Reg......Well after his night of falling of the wagon Reg has realized that he needs to get his head together and stop...but how....he needs help....desperately .......
What Have I Done Where…
another highly creative track from the prolific mind of the Reg(s)... I really like your use of percussion on these last couple of tracks. What are you using for these sounds, Trev?
Well Reg has fell off the wagon and wants to party on……theres no looking back……it's full on ….PARTY!!!
Party On (Lyrics)
Yeah i feel good i’m ready to get it on
i feel like i’ve been dead. i been gone so long
my mind is alive and im ready rock…
Reg is contemplating his future and how to change................So he got the acoustic out and perused the idea.....
The Hurricane (Lyrics)
I stand in the window looking back at me
trying to understand where i got it wrong
how my life could…
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 :)

This is not a song one can approach lightly. You've done good, Keith!

Wow, I want to see the movie that goes with all these killer soundtrack pieces. Damn dude. Rock on!
Marching o'er EPIC vistas with this one... but I like how you make time for a side trip to funkytown too!

diggin the vibe
Great little tune!!
We gotta do another track one of these days, Jim.
Love it!

Hey Reg, major accomplishment this year with this epic concept album! Thanks for sharing your music.
hope at last
Like Andrew, I'm hoping this tale has a happy ending... not looking too good for old Reg right now...
another highly creative track from the prolific mind of the Reg(s)... I really like your use of percussion on these last couple of tracks. What are you using for these sounds, Trev?
The intertwining lead guitars on the breaks remind me of The Bevis Frond.
What a heavy opening track, Reg! Wow, I can tell this is gonna be an epic album. Great acoustic sounds, btw...
Really enjoyed your RPM disc -- hope to hear more of your music here on alonetone!
I dig this opening track... some of your sounds among the layers and some of your vocal phrasing reminds me of Spiritualized. (nice!)
