RPM 2015 Feb. 18 update: I cut a new vocal for this one which is an improvement, but this mix is still not right. Dunno if I'll have time to fix it before the deadline... (This is the full length track as opposed to the truncated version with…

Psychonaut adrift
in the hazy realm
of confusion
When you
come back to us
won't you please
do your best
to remember
where you've been
to remember
what you've learned
Psychonaut, o psychonaut
adrift upon…
Don't let me down

Like so many times before
I know there'll be so many more
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
I know my enemy by name
Survival is a deadly game
Don't let me down
Don't let me down

I Saw It Today

Dancin' here at the end of the world,
we're just dancin' here
I saw it today it was there for me,
it was there for me to see
That's the way it has to be
Seven Sisters

Seven Sisters in the sky
known from days gone by
Seven Sisters of the drum
Seven Sisters seen by night
shining ancient light
Seven Sisters of days to come

They Don't Let Go

They don't let go
no they don't let go
you think you'll walk away
They don't let go
no they don't let go
no matter what you pay
Don't no they don't
no they never let go…
I like this head-out-of-the-box composing style. Groovy sounds. This one moves me. Nicely driven beat with the bass, sweet wah wah guitar, and drums tossed out the window. I TRULY love this!!!

Ah hell no, now this is just too groovy! This one caught me by surprise, it's not the sound or genre I'm use to from you, but it's freaking fabulous! Great job -- gorgeous!

Hold The Nighttime

Hold the nighttime just as close as you can. Get to know it. Yeah, make it your friend. Taste the darkness and you'll understand. The moon reflects the light on the land. But not everything is what it seems... in this dream…
Golden Days

Golden days, golden days are ahead of me
Goin' where the wind don't blow so cold
Endless Summer, soothe my soul
Where the streets are lined with gold
Golden days, golden days are ahead of me

Had to be different. I started out with 12 string accoustic chord progression and all and all these wonderful folky ideas but this is was I stuck with.
This song was inspired by a long walk....
Lyrics:
Down by the river, down by the shore we go
The moon above cast a beautiful glow
We walked around talking through the night
I can’t help but think how it felt right
Hey Constance, don’t you feel…
This song was inspired by a long walk....

Nick, this is most excellent... I want to try to tell you how much this moves me, but I'm truly at a loss for words...
the space after that first chorus is just achingly beautiful, and yet you carry it on to a wonderful finish..
well done, sir.
This is a song about questions, especially after experiencing the loss of someone special.....here are the lyrics:
Down past the bridge
By Saint Peter‘s church
She hums a prayer
Her eyes blue and bare
She’s longing for comfort…
I Can't Seem To Find My Way Home

Lyrics:
Searching for something
I wonder and roam
Hoping the truth
Soon will be shown…
I hear a lot of very interesting ideas in this tune -- not to mention a ton of youthful excitement! Which is actually very much appreciated by an aspiring "old fart" such as me self...
With some minor refinement, I think you could record a truly excellent version of this song!
Please keep writing, recording, sharing, growing, and learning with all of us here in this amazing musical community!
Also, if you have the means, I suggest getting into some virtual collaborations. It's one of the things we do best here at alonetone! :-D
peace, Michael

Igloo
I’ll go out in the snow again
And I’ll carve it in and build myself a home
I dig it out and shape it in
With me within but I won’t stay too long
The air…
Wow! Incredibly great start to the second half of this album! My favorite track so far, and that's really saying something - all these tracks are rock solid excellent!

El Matador
I was born into a fire
Only days alive and swallowed whole
Tight in the grip of man
Cold and calloused hand
Side-step the blow
Joy is dissolution
Joy is dissolution…
Love the arrangement & the layers in this tune. I wouldn't call it driving, but it's beyond upbeat! Very uplifting track, musically whatever you want to call it! :-)
I sure would appreciate it if you would post the words to all these tracks!! Help out my old ears here, wouldja??
K.G. made gold with this one. words are oh so good. J.H. broke away from his bass and added a very nice banjo part. i did a little clapton bending . i think this is a magical moment for our band. we all came together at the end and did it! i hope…
this was one of our first takes of the month. still in search of a mix at this point in the month. my personal low point because i forgot my lyric notes and really cut my words short and didnt sing or deliver well. i highly believe in moving on…
releasing my inner ozzy and tony iommi. had lots of fun with this one. started as a little middle of jam practice thing at the end of january. boy it took off. the whole band live on this one! this song is dedicated to Moschell, who motivated…
*excellent track* Vocals remind of the dude from Accept (I think -- is that the 'Balls to the Wall' band?) and I dig the heavy Sabbath influence.... you guys really got a great band going here with all the various influences you bring to the table
words by The Goods,E.G. & K.G. . music by me M.F. . our preferred rpm track . this song is about a coward and what he has coming, based on an assault of one of our loved ones. you can hear the anger. that is cool!
This as kick ass as an old B.O.C. or original Alice Cooper Band tune. That's pretty bad ass company. And I must say that was a tasteful & amusing bit of self-censorship with that well placed guitar bite. Tough track, for sure.
Thirty seconds in & I love the funky loose (kind half-drunk) vibe of this... woah, so familiar yet not derivative feeling... love these changes! Excellent vocals!
K.G. wanted to write a "good times" song and i think he hit this one out of the park. here in indy the highway does a big loop around the city. add some fun and music and that equals a rockin' good time.
Dig that fuzzy guitar tone! I wanna write some rockers like this, but am really lacking in the rocking drum kit dept. Gonna have to see what I can do about that.
Everything tightens up very nicely by that second guitar solo around three minutes in.... and the fuzz gets even fuzzier! *Nice*
Comments on Cave Street's stuff
If John was still with us, he would have wished he wrote this one.
Cool song!
nice !
spaced
I like the beat, and feel of this song. Nice.
Excellent..hope this will be longer.?

What a delightful, tasty mix of vocals, well mastered. FABULOUS!

Did I ever tell you how much I adore Cave Street? Oh yea, I have. So many time before. Of course, there will be many more.
Instant fav. I so love your vox man. Nice guitar playin'. Yeah! Jammin' M.T.
Oh . . . this is good.
Pleasant and delightful.
"(Hint: it’s neither of those)." -- and it's not a Beatles cover either! ;) Nice melody on the lead guitar. Cool vocals.
Woo - creepy. Love it.
Golden! ;)
Nice Creative Approach. RPM will bring that out in a person. Very refreshing!
Sweet guitar playin' man. I can't wait for my Golden Days. I think it comes with my AARP membership card. :)
Nice rollin' droning !
For some reason I find myself agreeing 100% with what Gene Eric Mann said about this song, as if he were me!
Comments made by Cave Street
willi, this so is sick that I unfaved just so I could fave it again. yeah
yes
like Regs said, second & third faved!
Nick, this is most excellent... I want to try to tell you how much this moves me, but I'm truly at a loss for words... the space after that first chorus is just achingly beautiful, and yet you carry it on to a wonderful finish.. well done, sir.
this is a heavy tune Nick, you really build the feeling right up till the end....
for some reason this reminds me of my trip to Amsterdam.... breakfast at Barney's in particular
cool track... was it created entirely with the phone, or just using the phone as the recording device? either way, nice work
dig that auto wah
Most excellent. Love this mellow groove!

Great ending to a great album. Total *WIN* for you guys... agree w/ MTC & am/fm -- a great variety of styles & vocals, job well done for sure.
acoustic guitar & swampy mix reminds me of an old old Beck album... the electric guitar sounds slowed down... another way cool track, for sure.

I love how different sounding your tunes are from one another. Cool Lou Reed-ish vox... There's also a Ric Ocasek (sp?) quality in there that I like

yeah, just a great vibe, great vocals, dig the laugh at the end... :-)
