Featuring Otis Maly on Organ.
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…

Featuring Mark Treefrog
This one features Treefrog "playing the wind" on a talking drum...
She’s like the wind
that moves through the night chasing ghosts
She sees the lights,
she sees the shadows and she knows
There is a difference
between the day and night…
In the morning, when we awoke, there was nothing. There were no ashes from the fires of the previous evening. The time for decisions was past. "Yes" was the answer to all questions; and none was the knowledge retained. Wisdom laughs at such folly…

Earthlings, eh? Well I've never heard them (or of them) but I'm gonna check 'em out straight away!
Thanks for listening!

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…
Hey! It would seem that you are the first person (apart from me) to listen to my rpm album in it's entirety! Hope you liked it! :o)
This is a lovely song - reminds me of latter day Leonard Cohen.
PS You mentioned my lyrics, if I have time I will post them on each of the tracks.

I have touched and I have known
the memories of stone
And echoes of the oceans
are etched upon my bones
My body's of the earth
and my spirit's of the sky
My mind is of the matter
these memories will never die
So let's go down below…

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 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.
