This track was created as part of the October 2010 Alonetone 24 hr challenge. The challenge is to make 24 minutes of original music in one 24 hour period.
he's not blown away like a stray star
he's not stolen clean away by a fast car
but…
A typical folk song.
Written and recorded in about an hour for the 24 hour album (attempted on March 13th). Excuse roughness and vocal glitches, it was 2am and this was my first full take.
Thanks to montgomeru for his chord suggestions…
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…

I'm not so sure the tunes selected by Ramen music necessarily reflect the popular vote as demonstrated by Alonetone "most favorited", etc. And it is a thankless job, inherently biased, to make selections for Ramen Music. I don't envy the position of the editors. Alas, that was historically one of the problems that lead to the demise of other record labels...
In any case, don't let it work on your head. You have a sizeable fan base and we LOVE what you are producing. Now, return to your studio and get back to work: we are hungry for more!

A song I wrote about feeling undervalued, with percussion from the wonderful Norm.

I should be more than the shirt you…

This is a song that started as just an idea I had playing live one lovely thursday evening and I just started playing this progression and sang some gibberish over it and I came up with the "chorus" part and and the Idea of asking questions in…
Man! it's ben a long time, it's like I'm sorry
I've not had the chance to catch up with everyone
and there music. I personaly have ben going through alot of crap..I suppose that's why I made
this song, but I can't wait to hear all new and
old…
The song may be simple, but you should have seen the leaf. Being the first of it's kind, it really had to set the standard... which it far exceeded. It will be remembered as a great leaf.

Nice work you two. I love the bell-like quality to the keys. That 'high-heels in a cathedral' feel. Cool!
Absolutely beautiful. Your voice is so relaxing and dreamlike; one of the best versions of this song I have heard
Beautiful, reminds me of Yann Tiersen
Nice song, I really like your gentle almost whispered voice
beautiful Tom; congrats on the project Jukka-Pekka.
It's beautiful
Mellow and heartfelt, I like it!
Had to log back in to fav this one. Cant help but think of Lou Reed a little here.

Another great lyrical tune, with lots of moving parts - all mixed well.
Excellent tune. The simple keys rif throughout is addictive.
Good to see you Liam, This tune/lyrics are one of my favs - Midiman
Amen. It just doesn't always feel like it from our perspective. But thanks for reminding me again.
I like the drum work that you have added to this. "We speak in different time signatures" = brilliant!
I have adored this song since I first heard it over a year ago. It's great to have you on Alonetone, Liam!
Cool! Will have to check out more of your stuff
Fantastic song man, really nice tone to your voice.
Nice! Digging your vocal style
Riveting stuff! Very cool.
Beautiful piece - One of a kind!
