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

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.

Recorded for the 2013 [NaSoAlMo challenge.](http://www.nasoalmo.org/)

Here comes my life again on the upswing
feels like I've been down
for so long
like a carnival ride
I'm not scared of the heights
as much as the ground below…
A song about the upcoming End of the World.
They tell me that the world is almost ended
the calender runs out and there's nothing more to say
The sun will flicker out and leave us all to die
So many things will be left undone
You and I will…
Hey Dave, I haven't seen (heard!) any new music from you in a while, but if you've heard anything awesome around here in the last year, please add it to the thread:

This is an invitation, with instructions, on how any AT musician can hop a train in the US and get to my house for a jam session. Figured the lyrics needed to mention all 3 of the collaborating musicians home towns cuz they all run along these…
Using my DIY 23 edo guitar, DIY electric cello, and DIY electric psaltery I recorded the wind playing these instruments after they were tuned in just intonation or harmonic series relationships. Adding to the harmonic series nature of this composition…

Ben jij echt?
De laatste uren van de ochtend, in de warmte van mijn bed
Kus jij me zachtjes wakker, je hebt al koffie gezet.
Waar de ene droom verdwijnt is waar de ander begint
Gekust door een droomvrouw, zo geliefd en bemind.
Ben jij…
Ik geniet echt van je muziek.
Het zou mooi zijn als je de woorden kon afdrukken zodat ik kan vertalen naar het Engels.
(Sorry if I have chosen a poor translation for my comment!)
The guitar part and part of the words came first- the song was not easily written. I had to force it a little, and finished it today after having fragments kick around in my head for over a month. I hope the words and performance live up to the…

This is my complete entry for the 2013 NaSoAlMo. The album is called Radio and it's a suite of seven songs tied together with the sound of a radio being tuned. It's done.
You said, "I am a guitar player" to which I reply, Hell Yeah! But when you say "and a 3rd rate songwriter" I just gotta BS on that one buddy! I love that you called this record "Radio" because I could hear all these songs being played on an old school Album Rock station like the ZOO in Dallas used to be. You need to pat yourself on the back for me man, this kicks ass! Now go change your profile! :-D

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!

Love the spooky ambience here
Probably not the best track to listen to in the morning when I'm supposed to be getting up and getting ready for work! Well done!
Yeah, perhaps just a wee bit! Different is good!
Yeah, Peter, you did good. Very nice track!
I clapped at the end along with everyone else!
WOah! Double nasty guitar and vox.... ....had to wait for the smoke to clear to leave this comment!
Please post the words as well.
Great mood, Chris! Very well done.
This is twisted. A lot of your music reminds me of John Frusciante's stuff.
green poop is some funky shit!
Dig it!

This is kicking ass, man. Your guitar is rockin, killer riffs. Are these mixes different from the individual tracks you posted?
