Paper hearts in your window
paper hearts on your door
Paper hearts ripped in pieces
And Strewn across the floor
but who am I to question
The intentions of old…

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…
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.

This song was born on the 18th of Feb. 2011. It was the last piece I wrote/recorded for the challenge. It was a very sad day for me, almost as if all my usual winter sadness was concentrated and crammed into one day. The process of writing and…

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

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
Dr. K. FN Jams...............Hard!!!
Extra coolness with some salt and pepper for flavor... I hear some harmonica in this.
I love the vocals here man. Perfect percussion too.
Silky smooth Duderino. Quite hypnotic. Awesome tone on the electric guitar.

Sucker for the trem guitar part. Great track.
Cool percussion here.

Way to shred those vocal chords, Dave! Get out of the way, Lemmy!
