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

New one from me. It's ended up as a bit of a "crying into yer beer at Bob's Country Bunker" sort of song lol...
I've been sat on these lyrics in some form or another for absolutely years. I first wrote them one very dark night a few years after…
My 100th upload to Alonetone!
I played a pretty random arpeggio which I arranged into 3 versions of medium notes, long notes, and short notes followed by a gap. I cloned these version and transposed them up and down one octave respectively…
---------------------------------------------
EDIT:
---------------------------------------------
I finally was able to remix the song. Please listen to "Fide On The Broom Stick (Version 2012)" in my track list to compare…
Nice track! I like the added orchestration right before 3 min... lots of nice textures & layers in this one, I like it as is. The title got my attention, love the Granny Weatherwax connection.
Recorded the intro and traffic sounds on my bus ride to work two years ago. This one is urban-esque, breakbeaty, and switches up the tempo a few times. And there are fat funky synths to boot.
I haven't tried the vox pipes in a few months. I've been sickly and singing was out of the question. After 24 days of instrumental RPM, I started getting back to 99%.
Might as well sing right? Better yet , let me trash the greatest song of…
This is a piece written for 37signals, made to accompany a [fun video they did on Letterpress printing](http://37signals.com/svn/posts/2795-a-letterpressed-thank-you)
The track is best listened to in context of the video, since it's scored…
This is a tune I picked up from alonetone a while back. Johnny did a piano version of "I'd Love to Change the World", and Michael Thomas from Cave Street added the outstanding vocals.
When Michael told me he was doing the vox on it, I wanted…
I saw "the Watchmen"....got me thinking.
are we truly immortal?
will we live through the material passing
or have we died oh so close to the light
not from this earth
not bound by its laws
A slave of no one
I will move beyond

Final version
One of my heroes. Willie McTell was blind from birth and travelled all over the south in the thirties at a time when many people would never go more than 20 miles from their home.
Plus nobody sings the blues quite like him…
Final version
RPM 2011 - my first track recorded and the opening track for the CD
A kind of Old Time gospel number, which, if you listen to those pre-war guitar playing preachers, are virtually indistinguishable from blues. Except for the lyrics…
Aw, we tried to make this a bit more pro, but sometimes the really fun moments in life are fleeting. So here it is warts and all. But don't mind that - just get out onto the dance floor with Reg! It's ok: he's up to date on his shots.
When…
Comments on Cave Street's stuff
Yes sir thats a great song.
I like the Mark Lanegan style vox.
Ah the voice! Lovely, laid back guitar sounds.

Love this.

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
Your vocals & some of your lyrics remind me of Trey Anastasio... Love the change about a minute & a half in - jamming track!!
Excellent work, reminds me of Blue Rodeo, one of my all-time favorite bands!
One of my all time favorite NY tunes (and that's really saying something)... nice one, esp. the extra bendy guitar parts - Neil would approve!
Nice one, Dave. I could never attempt this in a million years! Good work.
I'm a little late to the party, but happy 100th nonetheless! *LOVE* this track!
Nice track! I like the added orchestration right before 3 min... lots of nice textures & layers in this one, I like it as is. The title got my attention, love the Granny Weatherwax connection.
nice one dig the tempo change
Paul, I think this is your best vocal yet, it sounds as if you're exploring a new range! The backing vox add a whole other dimension.
enjoyed the video! well done!
this is excellent!
cheers mate
This digs so deep today.
Too much! Great track, *love* the vocal!
Great stuff, Stu! This is the real deal!
nice track, I dig this record!

Loving the layers of sound!
Really like this one! I would like to be able to read the words to this one. All of them actually, so please post the lyrics!

Great track!!! Thanks for the comments, Norm. Lyrics have been posted.... :-)
