I added some additional lyrics to complete the last verse and we played this around Greg's coffee table last night.
Greg Connor, Mark Lofgren, and Mike Rudquist on guitars and vocals with me....
Hope you enjoy this version as much as the first!

Here's the second song I recently decided to do with a studio recording from one I wrote and posted here a while ago as a purely vocal version. It's one of my favorites.... I hope you'll enjoy it too
Singing In The Silence

We were around the coffee table on Thursday night and dusted this one off from my 2014 archive. Greg Connor and Mark Lofgren pitching in on vocals and guitars....
I like this 2017 version....

Nice song, Colleen! Thank you for taking the time to (re-?)record it and post it. :)
If you don't mind my saying so, I kinda thought the lyric "Old fools cut my soul like a knife" might sound better -- maybe -- as "Old souls cut this fool like a knife."
But i don't really know the story behind how you came to write each of these lines.
Moreover, i kinda felt maybe more of the lines could do that sort of switcheroo with the meaning/intent throughout the song, but just didn't feel comfortable re-writing someone else's heartfelt lyrics, LOL !!
Hope you don't take that notion the wrong way; i meant it with the best of intentions. (Like a lot of song lyrics they can at first appear rather plain and lifeless on a stark, silent page -- but once the music started i was pleasantly surprised by how well it all played out! Heh, heh.. Then again, i *always* enjoy hearing your voice!! :-)
I was having my share of PESS (post election stress syndrome) and headed to northern MN to shake it off and wrote this one while watching a beautiful quiet snowfall happen. I recorded it finally today on my little TASCAM that we often use around…
I decided this was a good song to post on Thanksgiving as a way to say thanks to all the folks on AloneTone for listening to my music over these past few years. This is another song in the studio work I've been doing this year. We're still tinkering…
Written and recorded as part of our family RPM project this year. :-D
13 year old Jasmine on vocals and ukulele.
We wrote and recorded 10 songs under the name Cattica. It was just the best month of lockdown imaginable.
So, thought it was time to try something a tad more substantial - hence embarked on a Piano Concerto....here is the first movement of my first, in C minor.......
My second for the 2021 RPM is about a sayong Ning Surasiang one of the Brides on Bride at first sight came up with The feels which is to describe the feeling just before falling in love . Thanks for listening
When I first met you you did…
I've put out a call for lyrics for me to add music / turn into a song. My college buddy Myron responded and this is the demo I recorded using my phone.
I'm working on a full production (backing tracks recorded, still need to record guitar solo…
I wrote this one morning but gave up tryin to sing it . then I asked my buddy Steve Schostal to do vocals . His Canadian accent was perfect for this . Notice how he leads the beat ‘wow perfect.
I love Colabs
This is my contribution to the Song Writing Challenge: Write a song about "First Date".
Written for Minnesota Homebrew Radio Show / Pioneer Radio 90.1 Thief River Falls.
A new song.
I did this one on my own
Due to the corona curfew here we can't play with the band
A song about collecting, and the piling of stuff that can become a burden
--------------------------------------
I have been gathering so much…
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…

Love the theme of this one indeed! Your voice sounds great!
Wow Jasmine! I absolutely loved this. And from one uke player to another, you play beautifully. Your vocals are simply gorgeous. Instant fav!!
Like a storm coming in.....really powerful and beautiful
Ditto!
This is awesome! Great story indeed. And thanks door the kind words on my music as well.
This one is perfect for where I live... where walking the lake is a frozen under foot experience
Pretty timely tune this one!!! Are you playing a bit of piano there???? Sounds mighty good.... I'm praying for all those manatees too!!!
Nice one!! It gives good feels right back...
Great lyrics Tilden!!! It sounds great on this first recording.
This is really pretty mellow groove.... the very ending has your voice I think... and it sounds very good too!
Great lyrics! Love this.... would be a good song for the bar at a legal convention!!
I came back for that extra listen... you're right! This is just beautiful and Steve's vocal is perfect. If I could re-fav / double fav I would...
love that beauty vibe with your guitar. Great visuals in these lyrics... a perfect antidote to a freezing cold day in MN!
Cool vibes here indeed....
Saw this pop up in the archives!!! Such great songwriting. Fun to revisit the hits!!!
Really love this song! Your vocals are so rich!!! Reminds me of U2 / Bono
really beautiful! I wish I could play so well.... A melody I could have in my ear all day indeed...
Sounds like a great song to bring about some declutter motivation!!!! Love your mellow vocal vibes on this!!
Wow! This one is a raw powerful anthem... well done sir!
Just found this.... beautiful emotion in every note
