I hear the sound of one heart breaking
an I wonder whose it is
then I come to realize
I'm the only one there is
oh how'd I get so far away
how has it come to this
of all the things I've had and lost
there's only one I really miss…

@Mrs. Nussbaum's Credit Card- Yeah, it's a true story if that's what you mean. :-)
I recorded a conversation with a friend of a friend and then did a whole lot of cutting & pasting. The rest of the song is made up of tracks I stacked up one at a time.... this one is about 5 years old.
I listened to a bunch of your stuff yesterday when I was tiling my bathroom. I didn't have time to comment then. This is a great song (as were many of them, if not all, but I was fading in and out of listening range so, I'm sure I missed some, just being honest and accountable). Who are these yahoos and were they serious?
I been walkin' since 3 am
From Empire to Birmingham
An' now I'm headed down Vulcan Lane
Kudzu eatin' the road away
Air ain't friendly, skies are gray
An' things round here don't seem the same
If there's one thing for sure that's true…
I hear the sound of one heart breaking

you say i got no reason
to be here knockin' on your door
i guess ya had no reason
to think you might see me anymore
hey I got some news for you
yes i do
y'know i seen a lot
of different things
through these two eyes
i've heard…

I honestly didn't even know there was such a thing... I must have missed quite a lot while I was hunkered down in the cave here for so long.... I guess I completely lost track of time. I certainly had some VERY strange dreams.... Btw, is it still 2013?

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…

And, thanks for the kind words :)

Maybe it’s a trick of the light
The way your eyes shine at me
I don’t want to fight and I can’t take flight
Somethin’ tells me I’m gonna see
Just what spell you put on me
I can’t let you out of my sight…

Thanks Dave, props to Otis Maly on that one. He's an amazing local musician who I hope to interest in playing on more Cave Street tunes!
Caveat emptor: I did absolutely none of the drumming in this piece.
WORLD PREMIER! FIRST RECORDING OF THIS PATTERN - EVER!
My friend Kokou "Alex" Yemey called me a few days ago with some urgency in his voice: "I must record this before…
Like A Wave
--
If you make yourself a mule
someone's gonna ride you
this I know
Like a breeze moves through the air
or a wave upon the water
is how I go
When you can freely give
of all that you can hold
you can know no more…
When my 'whole morning for recording' turned into 30 minutes, I did this. Beep beep;
Driving all over the fucking road.
Left right left right doesn't really matter.
In n out of lanes in my mitsubishi colt
Left right left right doesnt really…
Something for RPM. This piece of filler features a transaction between myself and my 2 year old daughter at her pretend shop. I was the 'custer', she was the 'shoppy keeper', and I was encouraged to ask her 'howzamuchit?'
Alex, are you familiar with the Dreamies album? This piece of yours seems as if it could have been inspired by that album... (Either way, kudos! This is favorite among favorites!) Your entire album this year is excellent!! Love the lo-fi inspiration!
everyone says I cant sing. I can its just im not very good.
its not about whether I can so much as whether I should.
but I do! yeah I will.. strangle that cat anyhoo
people say I cant, I can.. im just not very good.
everyone says I cant…
If you leave me behind I'll have a crow's nest of a life
Filled with things that sparkle and flash,
Rusty nails and old tin cans
Sure, they're pretty when they get wet
But it ain't the most comfortable bed
Unless you're here
I've been…
A trip back to the 80's, living out our Duran Duran dreams.
Tim played the roles of Simon, Nik, and Andy.
Grant was Roger.
Matt Parker was John.
Tess and Meg were Pepsi and Shirlie.
And Gary Fox played the role of Andy Hamilton.
Been listening to your new album while doing some school work. Looping back through now... Enjoyed this one especially. Thanks for posting your stuff here on Alonetone! :-)
Love how after all of the "I believe"s from the previous track, this one starts with JFK saying "I believe..." Love stuff like that. You know I am a big fan of this one!
Destination
Lyrics
My ship and I don't like to wait
I'm on my way
My ship and I don't celebrate
the victory of the day
My ship and I don't like to wait
I'm on my way
My destination takes me oh, so far away
My new position brings…
Traveler
Lyrics
I love the way she
waves toward the sky
she's living day to day
her love is years away
all my days in the sky
all her nights have fires burning
my day is just beginning
past Jupiter and Mars
I left for her life…
Excellent title track! Great concept, great album!! I am supposed to be working right now, but here I am listening through this for a second time. This track is a perfect setting for some classic WG harp blowin'. Good on ya man!
Earth Days
Lyrics
Lonely days
Solitude
If only I knew
Rocket ships
Data banks
It all seemed so cool
I miss the Earth and bright Summer days
I miss the trees and cool Autumn breeze
I look outside
only stars go by
Cryin' eyes…
Comments on Cave Street's stuff
Yes, this is cool, cool, cool
Thats a smooth, cool sound here.

Brilliant!
Good to hear you in action, bro. If I had to choose just one out of the new batch, I think this one's my favorite...
Much love, brother!
Thanks, friends! Taking it one day at a time 'round here. Grateful for the feedback.
Great vibe! Some truly original & psychedelic music came into existence in 67 & 68... love this tribute! Great production! :-)
I can dig it! Nice work you guys...
Dave, you and WildGeas need to jam, this is right up his alley! Where you at Paul?
What an excellent album! My wife & have enjoyed listening to it all. Thanks for sharing it!
It matters! Love your entire album, Alex! Thank you!

I say you CAN! And I'm glad you do! This is brilliant!
This one is an easy favorite among an album of really strong tracks! I'm also loving the dynamics/flow of the album... well played!
I like hearing the sound of the room on this recording. Nice start, I'm settling in for the whole record...
Another crowd pleasing slab of Dad Rock right here. Fun track!
I can see (hear) why this is the title track! This is an instant classic. Impressive!

Really dig the compressed sound of the guitar on this one!
