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…
so very good. I love this song. It is the loss of the folks who rejected it I say, It was too good for their purposes. They couldn't handle the deep soul of this track.

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

The first WildGeas and Cave Street collaboration
There ain't nothin' I could buy
that can ever calm me down
So I leave my money at home
when I go into town
I put on my fightin' hat
an' I wear my dancin' shoes
An' if I miss my ride…
You've got the buttons
that are made out of my bones
You've got the ghost of me
that still can stitch them on
And ev'ry time you close your vest
you will hold me near
But that's as close as I'll ever get
to you my dear, I fear
Up in…
On this beach made of sand and shells
and broken hearts
as with so many things in this life
it ends where it starts
And like the waves that will roll over me
you take away everything that I see
So I walk to the place where the sand
and sky…

"I'll know it when I see it"
Is what she finally said
"If there was some other way
I'd do that instead"
And blindly without question
I followed down that trail
That led into the hidden night
Beyond the parted veil

This song…
I'm still getting around to re-upping everything I took down last October.... this is one of them, and if I recall correctly, this is the track that was the impetus for Paul & I to start collaborating. (Something I've been missing a lot…

Title Track - RPM 2013
we all clap our hands to the beat as the beat goes by
jazz & poetry in the fifties almost died
Rock n roll became the goal as people slicked back there hair
Rock, Rock and roll , the parent were in despair
Elvis was…

don’t be scared
don’t run away
don’t hide behind the trees
get out in that open space
cause i’m right behind you
i always be by your side
by your side
don’t let life weigh you down
don’t let people mess you around…

The Man
There he stands, shaking hands
smiling wide with his joker smile
promises spew out of his mouth
do you believe
all he wants to do is steal the breath that feeds your child
he don’t care
he don’t give a dam
he’s…

Close Your Eyes
close your eyes , close your eyes maybe you will see
close your eyes ,maybe it will take you back to that place and all the good times that we had when we were skipping stones,can you remember, remember that…
First side closer by Kent Good.
This song was recorded our first session of the month. We were playing as a five piece and i really love the sound. This is one of KGs best song to date.
I rarely play music with other people, firstly because I lack the technical skill to follow another's lead. I can do little more than improvise. Secondly, the sort of music I aspire to make is rarely the music other folks would be interested in…

Anything for You
Some rise early, some rise late
Some're up til morning light, some go to bed at eight
I'll be there baby whenever you tell me to
I guess you know by now, I'll do anything for you
Some like to rock, some…
I wrote these words for a different WildGeas track some time ago -- probably at least a couple years ago by now. As is so often the case, I was too slow in producing and someone else had already taken the track and run with it. Well, these lyrics were just sitting unused in a pile of other less finished scraps that I happened to be digging through recently when I remembered Paul's request for lyrics for this year's RPM. I'm so glad they finally got used! You guys took them out of the context they were written for and put a nice new spin on 'em. You two make a really great team and I must say I'm proud to have been allowed to contribute a small part. Lord knows you don't need another lyricist when you've got REG on the job!! :-)

This is a piece written for the Linux Musicians Uncompetition (http://www.linuxmusicians.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=10331).
The purpose of such un-competition is making some music with Linux tools, and then share it.
The premise for this…
Woah! Dig that intense shift a minute and a half or so into this when that *kick ass* guitar kicks in... wicked. And the bonus ending too... so what is your native language?
Too early? Too late? It's only a laugh :)
I am a Beatles and Lennon obsessive (had to explain that because some people thought you wouldn't get it otherwise)
Anyhoo hope you enjoy my last upload as a 47 year old...:(
As requested, the lyrics…

wow Johnny, somewhere around two minutes in, this just comes together beautifully. Just gorgeous! I can imagine a harpsichord voice working well with this one.

so very good. I love this song. It is the loss of the folks who rejected it I say, It was too good for their purposes. They couldn't handle the deep soul of this track.
Digging your smokey vocals on this one.Nice one man!

Very peaceful groove! Did you record the instrumentals live or produce them through software?
Oh yes, super cool!
Out of sight........FN Excellent man. I love this song.
That's a real Beaut man!
This is great! Oh that voice!
Wonderful stripped down arrangement - masterful vocals, of course.
Great track mate top vocals. Great playing mate.
smooth playing....sounds good!
Amen, brother.
One of my favorites. Then again, they are all my favorites. Great tune bro.
Conjures up a dark image in my mind. I wish I could shoot the video for this one. She would be wearing black.
Real nice atmospheric feel here. Smooth and deep. Def not a throwaway. PS. I put up the lyrics to my "Cricket Song" for your viewing pleasure. Thanks.
Nice experimental track
Very nice sweet song.
Oh I love your lyrics. Great song and your vocal as usual.
Beautiful.
Great lyrics and vocals man!
Comments made by Cave Street
This record is off to a great start! What kind of guitar are you playing the lead acoustic part with, Greg?
beautiful work here, Richard!
that's quite a recap tucked into this four minute nugget! But the best part is the message at the end...
this one could go on... a beautyful little mood piece
This is a really good one too... great guitar & keys. Another great collab! /faved/
Wicked guitar right off the bat! So far this is my favorite Reg/Geas track...
Woah, Reg channeling Roger Waters on this one, eh?
NIce song, fellas.... I especially liked that guitar break in the first half - that was tight. Cool coda too.
this is quite nice! we're looking forward to hearing more of your improvisations.

Very nice work, gents! Very nice indeed.

Excellent track, gotta check out the rest of this collab!
Thanks for the lyrics! And here's to 48! Cheers! - Tennessee
alonetone needs a rewind button for songs like this! it would be swell if you'd post the words... very clever song!
I'd like to put a couple of these pieces on WUTZ radio 88.3 Fm here in Summertown, TN. Let me know if that's cool with you, Johnny...
I like the contrasting voices on this one -- some of the effects/voices on this album are very psychedelic!
/Dramatic!/ Johnny, this is good stuff; its really great to hear your playing! Still hoping for another collab some day. :-)
wow Johnny, somewhere around two minutes in, this just comes together beautifully. Just gorgeous! I can imagine a harpsichord voice working well with this one.
well played, sir. really liking the key voices on these pieces!
