I wrote this song while out hiking some awesome trails in Zion National Park... gave me some excellent inspiration. I also tried some different stuff with the mixing and using my keyboard... so trying to push a few of my envelopes...

Colleen, That goodbye song is just the final song on my new album I did for the RPM Challenge...an online thing where people try to do a whole album between the beginning and end of February.

But thank you for listening to my music. I'm not going anywhere.

Update: Gene offered to improve the Mix on this song! This is that improved version. Thanks so much Gene! You are awesome!!!
I wrote this song earlier this summer, and had played it a few times with Greg Connor, fellow alone toner, and…
OK, for the 3rd day in a row, I woke up with your voice singing this song in my head, and I carry it with me all day. If the responses to a songwriting challenge were judged by that standard -- how stuck it gets into one's head, then no contest, this one has possessed me!
Hi! I just posted a remix of this, hopefully that's OK with you? Here it is: http://alonetone.com/mecreos/tracks/change-is-calling-1
I thought is was cool, hopefully you do to.
Just listen in headphones. Very juicy. You really did a great job with this, Colleen -- the headphones prove you know how to mix it up! Good, clean, fun mastering job -- I'm impressed!
Ha Ha ...loved it.....inspired lyrics....we kind of think alike...we should put our 2 disturbed brains together....what comes out may be unpublishable though!! lol :-)
Inspired by Steve Krell who wrote the first verse and chorus. Colleen Dillon wrote the second verse and Greg Connor, the third. Authentic Native American War Cry by Kimmie who has Cherokee heritage.

And this is the last of the little threesome of In Your Hands, Little Thing, and this one, When I Try To Be Me.
It's in the key of 4th fret and was written just over a month later than the other two, on 19th March…
I was looking through my messages and found this collab i did with Kari a while back in 2017 i had forgotten all about. so pleased i found it thanks Kari

Now here's a bit of an oldie - the second song I ever wrote. In... 1978!
I think I played it once, or maybe twice, at school assemblies. My musical peers and colleagues back then dismissed it as corny/rancid pop music…
GONE - My sequester song...
Chain wrapped around the dog park gate
Weeds growing on the school yard lawn
Where has everybody gone
The chairs are stacked
And the stage is dusty
And my strings are getting rusty...

You know this story the apple tree, the snake.
it takes Hope and latin drums to kill a snake
don't leave home without your hand drum and you will thrive
Fresh breeze on Lake Superior
And waves collide with the shore
The sailor must be watching
For gusting wind we can’t ignore
Loose the main, correct the healing
Point the bow to the wind
Recognize the peaceful feeling
In this sacred…
The desert heat can twist a mode as the ears suffer a mirage .
Twist twisted spin in the heat your senses are turned senselessly swirling octaves high
Made possible by Gibson’s brilliant P - 90 ‘s
A tale of keeping your head above the water, or not...
Recorded Jan-Feb 2011.
I wrote it many years ago, never thought I'd ever do anything with it.
I intended to record this with just an acoustic and my new EDB (electric upright bass…

And here is the first reply to In Your Hands.
I say "first" because I've found another one, When I Try To Be Me, that Mrs R says I have to do too... but that's unlikely to be the next one I post because I'm working…

*He’ll be fully functional, And also great in bed* Haha! Awesome track! Feel good overload. :-D
Gene this was a fantastic challenge. Thanks so much to you for creating all this fun for everyone!!!
"Technopedia, Wikipedia," "My box cutter nearly hummed," "... arrived by FedEx And a big two-wheeler was required," your poetry is excellent!

Fun contest! I'm trying to come up with something, but haven't had time to work on it. Good job to all of you Android builders!
Well this has indeed brought out the "best" in all of us!!!! I look forward to another crazy challenge in the future.... HA!!!

Love the layered vocals on this one! Really like your style!!
Really great song! Love your voice - lots of passion coming through on this one.
Rich vocals!! Reminds me of great Robert Cray songs...
This group of songs is just amazing. To think about you writing them in '94... amazing. Your guitar is just gorgeous on this one. Awesome all around.
Cool old school vibe
Indeed... what they said...
Lucky you.... lucky Kari

Perfect!!!!!! This captures our collective experience completely!!!
So love your voice and love these lyrics.... hope went and killed the snake. Love it
I agree with Ron... you’ve caught that Lighfoot spirit. An ode to the great Gitche Gami. So beautiful. An instant fav - legit
Love all the cool accoutrements of jingles and springles on this sultry magic carpet ride to Jazzy land!
Heroic ballads... this is so cool. So glad you’ve shared these older works. Brilliant!
Perfect for a cool morning cup of tea!
Wow... your vocals on this are just perfect. I hear that Jethro Tull influence there. Really pretty guitar playing.
