LYRICS:
With Or Without You
Try to get along but it takes two
It’s a Whole lot of me and not much you
Working myself right to the bone
Thinking that I am all alone
Just like a monkey up in the tree
Throwing your feces straight…
Nice tune. I'm getting a sense that the roller coaster of Life is hitting one of the low spots for you at the moment. I was at a CSN concert back in the 80s, where David Crosby, introducing the song said. "When life lands you in serious sh**, you do the only thing you CAN do... CARRY ON!" And the boys launched into it. And It Was Good.

Great lyrics, love the Simian reference.
I once read a book about difficult people,
but he tore it up and tossed it out.
The tune is tight and druid in feel. I so like this one 5 stars
You are sooo good at what you do. you sing the especially well, just perfect for the music, which itself is just perfect for the lyrics. Again, it's that Connor magic!

Hi gang.
The Proods are back....Brian at the helm this time.
Our methodology is thus....one of the 4 of us introduce a song, and then we'll bang out a finished track in under an hour with as few over-dubs as possible. This one we put some effort…
My current sound gig is the Front Porch Players show "Death By Design"

As part of sound design for the production I composed and recorded this theme music. It was created ‘in the box’ using MuseScore…

Song #7 for my 2025 RPM Challenge. Another one with my Juno Synth as the main player. It ended up being much longer than intended (but it fits with the title...). I call it a Peter Griffin ending (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X4X8HsEj7d4…
Big sound, you still have the touch. I wonder what you are doing the other 11 months of the year (more a statement than a question). I hope you are writing, performing or something associated with music. I always enjoy hearing what you produce.

First song I'm posting for RPM 2025. Not sure I'll finish this year....but I'll try.
Wrote this after listening to more of the horrible news coming out of the US.
Watching for you
Over shoulders
Can’t believe our eyes
Bolt the doors…
Song 5 for my RPM Challenge (the half way mark!). Decided to use my Juno synthesizer for this one - I love that thing. Did this yesterday after a nice winter hike. Thank you to anyone out there who listens - much appreciated xoxo
You touch…
Just a little something to take off the chill of the recent polar vortex here in MN. Thanks for listening!!!

You are sooo good at what you do. you sing the especially well, just perfect for the music, which itself is just perfect for the lyrics. Again, it's that Connor magic!
As punch said to Judy " That's the way to do it"....
Some sweet banjo, and that low-noted lead break was very cool, and the lyrics just tickle me.
Yup A tele for sure, Nice move way to pull the community card. You gotta know when to hold em.
Oh Guys, thank you! This is my Uke debut so that's why it's not wonderful. Thank you Greg for letting me have a go! x
I'll be right over. Nice collaboration!
This version is sooo groovy! VERY GOOD JOB! "Come and get it" -- love it!
Oh Bee, you found a great melody line for this fun-tastic tune. Tip of the hat Greg. I'm gettin' a real kick out of this project.
Sweet Cherry Pie, oh my!
Nice harmonies. Sweet Tune ! :) c
Well I had the best time but I'm no Wildgeas! Thanks Greg! Cheers Bee
Puts my back in the 50s. Recognized Bethan's sweet voice instantly.

Your music always sounds like you guys are having a GREAT time. Lots of little surprises in this one.
Nice to hear from you, it’s been a long time and you are right … we have enjoyed Alonetone for many years. Happy songwriting!
Two keepers on the same day. I think you said these came from the vault. I wonder what else is in the vault?
This is a great and positive song. It reminds me of my 4 year old neighbor. Her father could be my grandson. That 12 string really sounds good!
Beautiful and restful. I think I'll go get a glass of wine and listen again.
Ahhhh ... the blues!
I'll bet there are a lot of people who can relate to this song.
Beautiful piece of music. It’s remarkable what you can do with software.
Beautiful song John! Great message.
Well done! A fun little piece of music.
This is fun! I love loopers too ❤️
Big sound, you still have the touch. I wonder what you are doing the other 11 months of the year (more a statement than a question). I hope you are writing, performing or something associated with music. I always enjoy hearing what you produce.
Well done! I enjoyed the line "empty Bottles and a pile of unwashed plates" I'm pretty sure she is your valentine.
This hits home. You got me laughing. It’s all true!
Wow! I listened to this last night and again this morning. Lots of emotion in here. Well done.
Interesting texture to this.
You still got the touch! Nice song.
This is pretty neat! I can definitely feel the waves on a calm sea.
Ohhhhhh ... another masterpiece. Great imagery creating visual pictures in my mind all the way through. Excellent start to a new year of songwriting!
Nice work Tilden!
