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)

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…
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
.

It was all so clear to me

Oh this is mighty fine. I don't often pay attention to lyrics on early listens unless something jumps out and grabs me... I'm not sure what did here, but something did. Love the lyrics. Cool guitar and harmonica too, but the song is just peachy.
Here is another ZOOM Collaboration with:
Steve Krell
Colleen Dillon
Roger Harris
Greg Connor
We posted the lyrics and featured the chords, just in case you wanted to write your own lyrics and post them with this idea.

Well it's funky Friday down here in the cellar and James has forced me to get it on…well he hasn't exactly forced me i was willing so here it is for Funky Friday………...
Part of a collaborative effort done here. My friend sent me these guitar parts which I arranged, twisted and morphed to create this. I added the percussion and other non musical elements thanks to my kids playing while I was experimenting with…
Rich textured sound. For some reason the second piece (or the end of the first piece) really jump started my visual imagination.
Nice guitar with effects, and interesting accompaniment.
Been meaning to enhance this one for years, it's about 4 years old, sure it came about after a trip to Liverpool. The Cavern Club's not the real one, but what a great sound in there. Thanks to the Good Wife for the vocals.
Ok, this came out while messing around with the original, which one I like best, I can't make my mind up. As always sure you guys will put me right !!!!
Greg Connor added his amazing harp to the song. It really adds depth to it. I love Greg's playing on the song. Thanks so much, Greg! This is why Alonetone is great.
Lyrics & Music by Nick Plagakis
I count my blessings…
Recorded on a handheld Tascam recorder, with (unfortunately) a little too much guitar, and not enough vocals.
Sorry Rick, I'll do better next time,
Greg
Here's a collab with Reg & Freight Drive Reprobates who's crazy good backer steals the show.....
The Latex Man (Lyrics)
In the dark of night
everything can sometimes look bizarre
somebody somewhere is in trouble
somebody is having thoughts…
Thought I'd have a go at a soul number. FDR did some lead but the song was left all alone on my comp until today when I landed on it's lyrics while driving home. Thought I'd have a plumb at auditioning for the 3rd Reg, lol.
Ooooh, that's good.
Sounds like you might be having second thoughts about that "Sugar Daddy" thing. Sometimes those ladies have a way of changing your mind.
My mate Dave did his Ringo bit for this one. He came with some songs title's. I was messing about in Open A (I think ) and came up with this. Thanks to Dave for the Harmonica.
This was done in the aftermath of an evening out with Lady Jane,The two Regs and Jip 1965 which left me in a state i may never recover from and come to think of it may never remember haha
Anyway thanks for a great evening in and out and......until…
Wrote this after hearing on the radio of a bloke who ran off to France with his underage girlfriend and guess what? he's doing time (asshole) Thanks to Lady Jane for backing vocals

Oh yes . . . I like that. It's really fun to see what comes from a collaborated effort. You end up with something with a whole new flavor.
Let's hear a little more of that.

Hey I missed this first time mighty fine
Oh this is mighty fine. I don't often pay attention to lyrics on early listens unless something jumps out and grabs me... I'm not sure what did here, but something did. Love the lyrics. Cool guitar and harmonica too, but the song is just peachy.

Nice blend. I like the keyboard too.
Makes me want to pull that leisure suit out of the closet. Time to party. . . . .
Rich textured sound. For some reason the second piece (or the end of the first piece) really jump started my visual imagination. Nice guitar with effects, and interesting accompaniment.
You sound like you're having fun.
Better keep both versions. This one just bubbles along.
This one makes you think.
Very Pretty Song. I like this one Terry/
That's some fancy banjo picking. Good toe tapper!
I love that jews harp
This was Fun! I was taken by the song the moment I heard it. Great Songwriting Nick. Lots of feeling here.
Great Story Telling!
That's pretty.
Now that's the way to belt it out! So tell me . . . is it true . . . FDR sips on a beer while he's playing those licks? Nice combined effort guys.
Ooooh, that's good. Sounds like you might be having second thoughts about that "Sugar Daddy" thing. Sometimes those ladies have a way of changing your mind.
Nice tuning on the guitar. I like that harmonica too. You are sounding good Roger. This is a catchy one.
Sounds like you are keeping good company these days. It's another foot tapper!
Garlic Sound? Your friends sound a lot like my so called friends. I think you and Lady hit on something good. Very refreshing.

Nice easy song. I never would have guessed that you did the whole "writing / recoding" in such a short time.
I love it!
