Lyrics
Cry of Love
Cry of love, heard in the meadow
Watching the wind blow
With love in the air
Cry of love, answered by another
Who courts the same lovers
With sounds of despair
Cry of love, heard in the daylight
Still crying…
Lyrics:
Crazy people, wander round all night
Looking toward the Heavens
At little specs of light
Dragging round their telescopes
And Binoculars
All the tools they need to gaze among the stars
Crazy people, look at what they do…
Lyrics:
Crazy people, wander round all night
Looking toward the Heavens
At little specs of light
Dragging round their telescopes
And Binoculars
All the tools they need to gaze among the stars
Crazy people, look at what they do…
Written for a song challenge to bring awareness to the flooding this past Spring in Australia.
The song was required to have the phrase "water is rising".
Lyrics:
Crazy people, wander round all night
Looking toward the Heavens
At little specs of light
Dragging round their telescopes
And Binoculars
All the tools they need to gaze among the stars
Crazy people, look at what they do…
When you look up at the night sky from where you live does the milky way burn bright. Clusters of stars glowing from time that passed us by. Are there certain crisp, clear, windless nights, the moon hanging on the dark side and every star seemed just a little brighter then before. As far as you could see there was shimmering light flickering from the faintest and most distant stars. I try to imagine what the night sky would have looked like 30,000 years ago or a million years. How much more did stars shine before we were here. Before electricity people probably paid more attention to the night skies
Cool song Greg. I never had a convertible Mustang but had a blue 1967 2 door. I had it for over 10 years and it was a neat car, but like most cars of that era began to cost big bucks to keep it running like it should, to say nothing of rust. I sold it to a teenager who did some body and engine work and I'd see it around town once in awhile. Never had had the itch for a convertible, but hey, have fun!

One of my offspring is a keen astronomer, with a huge telescope. She is also extremely knowledgeable
on the subject. Don't know about your title there, but absolutely love the song and the music is gorgeous.

Based on an improvisation by Rog Hildreth, Stuart Jewkes and Tom Goy. We used to live in university halls together and would frequently improvise songs as people entered the room. The best of these was for Riona. Stu and I recreated it here with…

I think this was the first Blues I wrote, about 5 years ago.Changed the tempo & got my mate Dave to play harmonica on it. Thanks Dave.Listening to the old version, couldn't remember what I played so had to revamp it, old age!!! DOH !!!!!
A NON Banjo-centric song that pokes a bit of fun at the zaniness of the 1980s.
This is the G-rated version. There is a PG-13 version with one additional verse which contains some unvarnished language. You can get that version on my site…
An old song (2009) Started off as one thing ended up as this. No, don't know Rose, wish I did though !!! Or, is it about the good wife ??? Or, is it about.......
What if Bo Peep were a bit of a b*tch? If I knew her when she was like that, I might write a song like this.

Hey, Bo.
Where did they all go?
Hey Bo.
What do you know?
Maybe I could help you
In your quest.
Maybe I could…
The lyrics for this song were inscribed on the headstone when the legendary character Tom Thumb died. Inge did the vocals for this song and did a wonderful job. The harmonies, along with the a capella intro and coda, are hers, and take the song…

My mom was an avid bird watcher. The clip of the cardinal finch reminded me of her... it was her favorite of favorite birds.
Nice work....

Stargazing does have a way of putting things in perspective.
If your head is in the syars, your hearts in thr right place.(smile)

Good one! I like the harmonica.
Relaxed and easy to listen to. Very nice.
O H . M Y . G O S H I'm adding this to the Spring Album! http://alonetone.com/forums/making-music/topics/spring-time
This is beautiful. You have captured that loneliness humanity with a hint of triumph in the end.
Nice work for a first song! The harmonica adds a lot, and, as Steve mentioned, the tempo adds a lot.
The mandolin is a nice touch. A very pretty and poignant song.
Amen Brother! I thought I was listening to David Bromberg there for a second. Good message.
Good entertainment this morning! Well played my friend, and the lyrics are hilarious. I like your trailer too.
You're Right. . . Crank It Up
Unexpected style . . . and enjoyable
Good story telling and good picking John!
Ukelele? . . . nice touch.
Nice piano and story telling.
I got a chuckle out of the title. Great attention getter!
I had to stop for a little more Chuck Berry this afternoon.
Very touching message, and smooth delivery.
Very Pretty Terry . . . You old Softy!
Good One!
This really caught my attention. It's different and very interesting.
I'm waiting for the video now! I want to see you do the "Chuck Berry" across the stage. You got the vibe here. My feet are tapping.
