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

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…

still think your vocals sound like mark lanegan. You got that mysterious folk sound. If you don't listen to him, listen to him. The winding sheet from around 1990 atleast.

I like your thought provoking titles, but this one if full on truth in advertising. I love it! How are you making that overblown sax/squeaking balloon sound? Is this all midi?
A friend once took me to a Hindu temple. We sat on the floor for a while as the religious leader chanted and burned incense. This was followed by an uncomfortable tour of the place. Our tour guide then said "You should go get some food.". It was…

SMOTHERED IN LOVE
I was down at The Clearing House,
with all my boys, we was drinkin’
One talked some shit, one laid down the law, yeah
y’know, it got me to thinkin’
He said, get that turkey on…
Thanks for listening! I'm still neck deep in trying to get myself sorted out, but really looking forward to checking out Reg's latest saga soon. Not to mention whatever you & WildGeas get up to!!
Jan. demo for RPM 2014. Don't know if I will redo it for the album, so here it is for now...
Things I Might Have Said

You ask me how I'm doing
and I might have to lie
And say I'm doing well
at least I'm getting by
You'll say my…
Thanks, Greg. The weird sounds in the intro are coming from my new delay pedal... it's also provided the effect used on the "lead" guitar parts. I love this thing, it will definitely have an impact on the sound of my entire RPM album!
Thanks, jip & WG!! STill don't think I've done it quite as good as it deserves.... This was my third attempt (so far) and I feel I'm getting closer...

In the mean time
In an alleyway downtown

In Afganistan

In your back yard

This is a Phil Keaggy tune. I swiped his original loop and then built my own thing on top of it. Might have been longer, but my volume swell effect keeps slipping out of sync with everything else. May work on it more at a later date
Welcome to alonetone, John! Really glad Reg (Trevor) pointed me in your direction! This is a most excellent track. Would love it if you would post the words in the about section!
Just an experiment from a while back using multiple delay units. I hated it initially, but after not hearing it for a few months I decided there were enough interesting moments to warrant sharing.
It hit me...I know so many sides of so many arguments it's all become useless.
TOO MUCH
I’ve heard too much. I’ve seen too much
Don’t ask me any questions because
I know too much
I’ve read too much. I’ve written too much

Lyrics:
I don’t care for love and happiness
I got myself a yacht and a mansion
I don’t believe in God and religion
I got myself sixty four billion
Greed, greed, greed is what I need
Greed, greed, greed is what…
Hey all, which Greed version do you prefer? :)
Lead guitar, organ, and drums added by Vic Lyn. He did a great job - extremely talented and insightful with music. Thanks so much, Vic. (Check out Vic's website: www.avlstudios.com

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!

Great vocals mate top track. All round good one.

Love it!
HOly epic fantasy symphonic soundtrack with kickass progrock drums, Batman! Intense! RPM?

More than tolerable! Really fun track!

Fun stuff guys!! Keep on rockin' in 2014!
Another simply beautiful track! Looking forward to hearing more from you, John.

Thanks for sharing this, Kirk!
Great acoustic sound on this live version! Great vocal too of course, and the jamming harp solo is gravy. Thanks for sharing Colin!
Neil Young would have been proud to write this one, but it's 100% JMT.
Like em both, but this one is my favorite of the two
Love the guitar solo in this one
