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 is my submission for Akron/Family's "Woody Guthrie's America" Project.
[WOODY PROJECT 2.0](http://akronfamily.com/woodyproject/woody2/Woody_v.2.0/New_Home.html)
A WildGeas and CaveStreet collaboration
some say once upon a time
there was a line
that was never meant to be crossed
if ever that occurred
you might have heard
an innocence would have to be lost
but having crossed that line
I can…
Hey thanks, Jacob! Paul (WildGeas) and I are working on some new stuff even now. Perhaps you're right... I should put this album in a more prominent place on my page. Thanks for listening! :-)

I’ll make my exit on the wind
Nevermore to pretend
That I’m fine
Yeah, I’m good, so good
At doin’ everything I should
To convince you
That I’m okay for today
An’ I won’t crawl out of my skin
I’ll just pretend
Some days…
super cool track!
too early to drink but too late to have coffee:)
as for the sounds i think i will just try to recreate my own sins i just bought a Blue HD microphone...anyway this was delight for my ears...thanks for uploading.
@Terrapin - I do like to double (or more)the vocal tracks... On this track it's an acoustic guitar, an electric through a line6 swell effect, and an old yamaha analog keyboard....

just a few random weird alien sounds or "smart intelligent words" coming from a wisdom person...My voice is garbage that's why i stick to music lol
but whatever you have and want to share would be cool cause I'm going to need a few.
Tank you

I thought Olivia might sing this one, but she said my version was "awesome" and I will have to take her word on that. I made up lyrics which seemed as if they might be suitable for her to sing, but I don't really know what they mean…
Pick it up first thing in the morning
Looking down when the day is dawning
Takin it along from room to room
Bright icons on a tiny screen
Means more to you than me
I’m hoping you notice pretty soon
It’s clear, and I fear
It’s understandable…
Worked with a couple of college interns last year who'd never heard of any band I like. I felt like an asshole bragging about going to shows that happened 20 years before they were born.

Oldie Bear was there at woodstock

Like the bass line on this one especially. Really fun album, Dave. I like hearing you do different things with your voice. I'd like to hear some more vocal experimentation from you! Excellent RPM!
I wrote this song for my brother, who'd recently had surgery. Yes, I know it's long. I cut something close to three minutes out of it...FWIW it's supposed to butt right up against the next track "Oldie Bear" but you can't really do that in an…
A post on the Facebook RPM group featured a quote from an aging Dave Grohl complaining about Kids These Days and Their Terrible Music, pointing out that the current number-one song was about someone's butt. So, I wrote a song about my butt…
I wrote this from the point of an old person, such as myself, but my vocals came out so bad that I had to get Olivia to sing it for me.
Lyrics:
Looking over a modern meme
It's the worst that I've ever seen
Everything looks a little strange…
There is actually a LOT of goose poop at my office park, but I opted to use the joke title referring to my favorite Beach Boys song.
FWIW, the drum loops came from https://www.organicdrumloops.com/
Woah, this is a woozy little number.... maybe it's the goose poop vapors going to my head. Very Weenish, especially when the vocals come in!! Nice one.
This one is the only track that I am a little disappointed in. I thought it would be a banger and a lead-off track, but I had trouble getting it to exactly where I thought it would be. I think the problem is that I am nowhere near as good a singer…
This song features my first attempt at recording myself playing a drumkit. I only did four takes, sorry.
Lyrics:
They’re gonna say I stole this song
And I knew it all along
They own the copyright on C, G, C, G, D
They’re gonna sue the…
I asked Olivia to name something (in three or four syllables) that causes her consternation. Her answer, "Society". Sometimes she follows my scratch vocal line when I record a demo for her, this time she just let it rip, and it is probably the…
This song is for everyone who has failed at their Assertiveness Training.

Sittin
Spinnin
Doin evrythin but winnin
Startin to talk but instead I cough

Wrote this as a thank-you to someone who has been very kind to me, and who REALLY likes photography.

Ahoy, shipmates, it's that there time of year again, when yer ready to hang over the lee rail on account of all them insipid Christmas songs they've been blatting at you everywhere you turn ever since Halloween, if not before.
Well, I've got…
This is a rough cut, but I like it. Here are the lyrics:
TOMORROW WILL BE YOU
It’s been a long time since I saw you
I’m at a loss for words
But when I heard the news
I went straight to your room
There’s no point in looking…
> Uncle Paul is still kickin’ it.
I was beginning to wonder! :-)
Good to hear you. Reminds me of Blue Öyster Cult's Revolution by Night period. Thant's damn good stuff Geas.
Rock on.

i like the double tracked vocals, i use the same trick a lot. how much of your instrumentation is synthesized?
just a few random weird alien sounds or "smart intelligent words" coming from a wisdom person...My voice is garbage that's why i stick to music lol but whatever you have and want to share would be cool cause I'm going to need a few. Tank you
Title drew me in like a magnet, you my friend have some talent. adding to my chill favorites!
like pink floyd early stuff...i like it very much..it gave me hope...
nice stuff!
your vocals are very soothing. songs are great too!
Comments made by Cave Street
Really digging the bass on this one... and slide guitar too!!
Great opener, Dave. This and the changes of this one actually reminds me of some old school Blue Rodeo.
Like the bass line on this one especially. Really fun album, Dave. I like hearing you do different things with your voice. I'd like to hear some more vocal experimentation from you! Excellent RPM!
Dave, I think this is one of your best songs & best vocals, love the effect on the guitar break too.
LOL, TMI. I actually wish I could favorite this one twice!
Dude I can totally hear this as a Go-go's song. Another excellent vocal by Olivia!
Woah, this is a woozy little number.... maybe it's the goose poop vapors going to my head. Very Weenish, especially when the vocals come in!! Nice one.
More excellent lyrics, and I actually like the vocal blend. Only halfway though this album, and I'd say it's your best ever!
Great lyrics, Dave! And you play the drums better than I ever will.... keep it up!
Wow, what a great vocal from Olivia!! Great arrangement too, Dave. Definitely one of your best.
This one is really great, Dave!
Nice harp!!
Too much, and well done! Yar aughta post em wurds, ya scurvy dawgs!
great vibe my bros
Ready for some more, Nick. Whatcha got?
Tried to comment, but it disappeared....
> Uncle Paul is still kickin’ it. I was beginning to wonder! :-) Good to hear you. Reminds me of Blue Öyster Cult's Revolution by Night period. Thant's damn good stuff Geas. Rock on.
This one ended well before I was ready... more of this please! Well done & thanks for sharing. ~Michael
This is deeply felt and as other have noted, quite thought provoking. Thanks for sharing, Nick. Hope you are doing well.
Dude, I love it. I want to hear more of your creations!
