I had myself a dream last night
As I tossed and turned in bed
The window was open wide
The street noise jangled, in my head
.
I was dreaming of a better time
It was all so clear to me
Wind whistled through the pine trees…
It’s like floating down a river
When you’re not quite in control
That river’s going to take you
Only where it wants to go
So you reach out with conviction
At debris along the way
That river’s going to take you
If you give up and say…
Mode ?? Marvellous Greg , you have this fantastic knack of writing a song that you just have to listen too ... then Love ... then listen to again ... and love again ... simple isn't it ... NO ?!?!?

Cool sounds and fabulous lyrics. Over the last few days I've been sharing this very message in various forms in various places... That's probably why I like it so much... And I've come across others saying the same thing... It might not be filtering through to the media (at least not the stuff I'm seeing/hearing)... but then it's not very news-worthy! ... But if there's a bunch of us ordinary people thinking and saying this and similar... then I'm feeling quite encouraged :)
My wife Rita mentioned that she had not heard my dulcimer on any music recently, so I tuned it up and wrote First Morning Light. A little Low D Irish Whistle flavored it just a bit.

I left my home in paradise when warning signs begun
With a member of my aging family
I left behind the trees so tall they almost blocked the Sun
And a lake so big it looked just like the sea
The wind blows cold through paradise in winter…

Oh yeah. What a song. Paints all sorts of images/stories in my head. But yeah, I end up yearning for the Paradise I recall myself... Faved, accidentally unfaved, and FAVED again! (Got a bit clicky there lol)

Song by Nick Plagakis
Lyrics:
I don’t care for love and happiness
I got myself a yacht and a mansion
I don’t believe in God and religion
I got myself sixty four billion
Greed, greed, greed is what I need
Greed, greed, greed is what…
This one is still in progress, Jon the guitarist sent me a riff which i stuck together to get a kinda structure...so this is take 1....
I'm gonna kill a Mockingbird
That mockingbird mocks me with your name
I'm still not over you and it's causing…
Volcano was one of the first tracks that the Proods uploaded to Alonetone, it was fun because it features the Prood gals who aren't always available to jam.
My nephew Spencer or (SZC) as he goes by wrote this song entirely as we were talking about the sad news of Robin Williams passing in a conversation last year and how it felt. So he asked me to do the vocals and guitar.. He will be joining alonetone…
This is a beautiful emotional song telling the sad story of the singer. It describes the emotions of the singer in a precise way.

Here is what Buck said he added:
"So I used the tremolophone (vibes) and tuba sounds in Garageband and played them on the keyboard."
With huge thanks to the awesomeinfinity Jake, Wrinkled Shirt, who let me use his gorgeous instrumental track "Gaza".
The sun left the city, from the ground
Moonlight woke up, falling down
Why are you scared, free as a bird
Now that the heat…
Sometimes you need to stay up late to try to force yourself to dream.
When I wrote this song (and started singing it a bit), I knew that my voice could never give it what it needed... So I turned it over to one Sister Savage... And she did…
Last of the archives for now. A set of reels from the Last Nights Fun album. I did pipes, whistle and guitar on the last tune in the set. There's a live version of this up here too. This is the studio cut

This hit the spot this morning!
Interesting feel to this
LOTS OF ENERGY !!! Nice guitar licks and the vocal energy is REG all the way!
I like that line *"Forget about the laundry on the floor"*.
I like how this ebbs and flows. I think I'm living the theme of this song. Who knew there was more to life than hanging around drinking beer.
Now . . . That's the stuff we're looking for!
Surrealistic and fun!
Nice cooperative effort between you and Soencer! Beautiful
Very pretty song with anguish just below the surface.
I love that Tuba and Temolophone! Thanks Buck!
Great chord progression supporting a solid lyrical story. Nice Ukulele. I like the echo on the vocal.
....HOLY COW .................. O U T S T A N D I N G !
I started smiling immediately! You got the touch John!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great beginning! Interesting effects. Your piano player looks like a little cutie!
Smooth and relaxing. Very Nice!
Interesting concept. It's like a whole album of sounds in one song . . . Pretty Cool.
I've been listening to "Alonetone Session" this morning on your site. Beautiful songs, and your delivery is really something.
Beautiful song! The combination of piano and Tess' voice really create a visual image and mood.
I stumbled across this little gem this morning. Impressive songwriting by you Kieth, and outstanding delivery by Tess!
Absolutely beautiful Kirk!
