This is the only track where I played all the instruments you hear. Otherwise I just stick to singing and playing my lame guitar. Also, this is another first in the sense that I have kept the original song mechanics intact in one of my covers…
I made this song in fond remembrance of Kurt Cobain, who has been an inspiration for me musically. While there's no musical brilliance at work, I tried to retain the original tone of the song with a dirty little white noise in the background…
Thank you Steve Cross for coming up with with the perfect drum and rhythm track. This guy did it exactly according to my specifications.

An EVH-inspired instrumental. I couldn't come up with a fancier name, so Boogie Train it is! This is straight up Hard Rock 80s style. No dabbling in other genres to mess up this song. Heh. Leave some comments if you please. Believe it or not…
The best music is always created in a burst of emotion, when the passion is still hot and your heart burns with fire. I finished this song in just one night, in my frantic attempt to capture the emotions I felt then.

Lose the tremolo - makes the vocals sound weak. Otherwise fantastic. Retains the flavour of the original and its barely suppressed violence, though with a dreamy bluesy guitar; if this was deliberate, was it intended to be ironic, considering the lyrics? I wish you were here so that we could discuss it in details.

Thanks for your comment on my song a while back. I like this song, a a lot. The building of intensity in the first few minutes is really well done. I do have a question. Are you going to credit William Ernest Henly (probably no relation to Don) for your use of his entire poem "Invictus"?

Eerie, disturbing, lulls you with the first few bars into a sense of security and your comfort zone only to rip apart the illusions and render you forever, an unquiet soul.
Respect.

I wish I could work the DAWs like you could. This is so beautiful. If possible...someday I'd really like to collaborate with you. You make such good soundscapes! Much respect, sir.
I have so many fond memories of this song. My mom used to sing this to me when I was a kid. Thank you so much for making this. This is a beautiful rendition.
A Sea Shanty with a bit of Psychedelic seasoning. Guest artist Starry Nightmoth performs the “harmonica” on a Yamaha KB as the song fades out.

Since you showed interest in my songs, I thought I'd check yours out too. But by god, this is impressive! Reminds me of 'Treasure Island' - one of my most favourite books of all time. Thank you for creating this. I love, love, love this.
A Blues number, and in the past it’s been one of my more popular songs. We’ll see how it does on AloneTone.

This is a song about... horses. Actually, since it's Alonetone I'll say what it's really about. Manipulation and control in relationships, plus the general superiority of intrinsic motivation and grace. I recorded this freshly written song with…
I like, I like. Makes me wanna buy one of them cowboy hats and go yeehaw on outlanders!
And about your comment on one of my songs - Chikara; I thought that crediting him was unnecessary since almost everyone has heard or read of that poem. It was rather redundant, or so I felt. Thanks again, sir!
Lyrics:
Don’t you bow, to kings and queens
Rise above, everything
If the devil beckons, and the angels sing
Don’t listen to, anything
The time has come, to raise your hands
C’mon everybody, take a stand
Higher, Higher, Higher, Higher…
Thinking about and inspired a lot by trees lately. That, and the excellent film Rivers and Tides.
Arboreal
Drink in the sun
Until the day is done
Dance with the wind
Circle of life has no end
Roots into the ground
Arms reach up to the…
A friend once took me to a Hindu temple. We sat on the floor for a while as the religious leader chanted and burned incense. This was followed by an uncomfortable tour of the place. Our tour guide then said "You should go get some food.". It was…
Just an instrumental I came up with on the 7-string. Wanted to try a few harmonized licks. Guitars and bass are me but the drums aren't (as with all my stuff).
Dystopian Anthem
----------------
Together we strive
United, we divide
the night fire we've made
are ours to take
We gain what we earn
earn what we can take
family, we all share
In this world to create
Didn't turn out as well as I'd hoped (my left forearm was burning like hell after each take). After the acoustic version, there's a distorted version, but the tapped harmonics at the beginning sound pretty crappy with distortion. I also added…

Shera bajiyechsh...
This rendition is pure magic!
Good stuff Debo.....Donkey
debz. this is my favourite song from you. I still don't understand it, but I love it!!! :P - VV
best cover of this I've seen, anytime, anyday. Better than Opeth, I daresay. Your vocals are beautiful. :)
The vocals sound awesome to me. I haven't a single negative critique to offer. It all works for me -- Rock on!
Very nice solo. Great.
Yeah, this one really works for me -- haunting yet gorgeous, always an intriguing combination. Great job -- Rock on!
Digging your picking style -- sweet!
Yes, I love it -- Rock on!
You have an interesting approach to doing vocal tracks -- certainly out of the box. Your instrumental tracks are quite tasty.
The vocal track peaks in a few places, but otherwise it's a beautiful mix down.

That makes total sense! Again, really good song!

very good
I love this, it paints a vivid picture in my mind Great Job
AWESOME!!!!! yes! + positive affirmative very good!
this is actually a cover of a cover. the original song is by the Vaselines, I would give it a listen, it's far superior to the Nirvana cover IMHO.

this is electronica with gothic vibes, heavy stuff. I like this man.
\m/ I really like this.
Very surprising to see a Bollywood-ish song here. Classifies as world music, I guess? You got the voice of a proper playback singer.
beautiful! i like it!
the country scene here wouldn't be the same without you, sir.
haha, i can relate. you also got the temple ambiance down pat.
\m/
So polished...Man I'm stoked to hear this. As another guy put it, this one's a scorcher.
you weren't kidding when you said massive amount of fuzz. LOL. It turned out to be very Hendrix-y. Foxy Lady style, yeah. Sounds very good.
top-notch stuff.
what is this style of music you do? its so bloody interesting!
i really wish i had smart comments to make about your song titles, like you do with mine, but I'll settle for favourite-ing it :D
\m/
funky!
the delay effect was annoying for me. But I really digged the composition, sir.
