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

won't you please
do your best

Psychonaut, o psychonaut

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

For our beautiful son Willem, in French Guillaume.
recorded in my livingroom, 16-7-2009.
I called the song Guillaume before because of the beautiful sound.
Since 2012 I changed the title of the song into : Willem.
Because that makes much…
My first rejected Ramen Music submission.
Too Much
I wrote you a letter but I never sent it
I was afraid you might never get it
or what if you did and I lived to regret it
and it was just too much for me to take
now its four in the morning…
Is it incomplete? Yes... Does it need a whole lot of cleaning up? Yes... Are there lyrics? Yes... Does it need more arrangement? Yes (but that's coming with a little collaboration on the way)... So, yes the title is the actual title to…
I was singing along to this one! Was ready to ask for a spot on this track before I read the about & saw you already had something in the works... can't wait to hear it!
Dedicated to my friend Paul Lennon.
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…

As with pretty much all of our stuff, it's all recorded live with microphones.... Plenty of overdubs, but no samples, loops, or what have you. Treefrog on the drums, me on the rest of it.
Thanks for the comment, Star, and welcome to Alonetone! ~ Michael
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.
Well, my son and I were sitting around the backyard last night. A nice fire going, I was playing my acoustic, and we heard this crazy cricket chirping away very close to us. My son asked if I could record him with my "machine". Out came the…
Firstly: This is SOOOO Excellent!!! In years gone by I also have been inspired by the cricket songs here in the deep south...
Secondly: POST THE WORDS (please)! Us old folks' ears need the assistance...
Thirdly: I truly hope I'm the first member of the Berry and Berry (B&B for short) fan club!!!
I took you seriously
I took it carefully
I didn't want to breathe too loudly
I walked around silently
I didn't say a word
Fear was there beside me
I know it sounds absurd
But so what?
So what.
I lived without money
I've lived without…
One for my electronic friends. It's just a bunch of patches mixed with MIDI and glued together with 1 part water, 2 parts flour, and 2 parts ectoplasma.
Enjoy!

If John was still with us, he would have wished he wrote this one.
Cool song!
nice !

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!

*Beautiful* Please share more of your wonderful music with us!

well done... Here's to mic'ing real live instruments! Cheers!
Happy Pirate Day, indeed. How'd you do these drums, Dave?
@Dave Berry - Thanks dude, you're too kind.

New Fave.
This takes me way back when to a space in time I've never been to and yet it's so, so familiar... Words fail....

A W E S O M E ! ! ! Most excellent job, guys!
This is deeply psychedelic & very much appreciated. Highly transportational.
I like this one a lot, it sounds joyous!
Wow, this one is moving. Intense dynamic there at the emotional peak...
It's hammer time! Siriusly. :-)
Welcome to alonetone Jim! There's lot's of great folks & great music here... so you're gonna be right at home! :-) <3 Michael
A very kinetic piece. When I close my eyes I feel like I'm flying over a landscape!
I can dig it... wow it really kicks in after about a minute! Great dynamics. Love the space in the beats
