Thanks for the kind remarks, Dave! I decided to check out this album first because I love the title. I'll let you know what I think in about 63 minutes!
(Lyrics posted below) A fun song I wrote with Kenneth from songcrafters.org. Its about having fun making music with friends from all over the world, connected by the internet and these great music sites that we all belong to.
I came in from…
Lyrics/Vocals - OldRottenHead (over at Soundcrafters.org). Music - Dave Berry. Recorded on Boss BR-1200, Epi Sheraton, Bass, Synth. Drums are played by me on my new Roland HD-1 (I have had it two weeks, timing is a little shaky, bloody hard this…
I'm gonna have to set aside some time to listen to this entire Lobster Man album. What have I been missing?
Love the lead break on this one - right in yer face.
Good version. I've heard so many covers of this, my favorite one is by New Riders of the Purple Sage. An old country classic originally done by Lefty Frizell but written by someone else.
A frightening thing, to go from being a man to becoming a Lobster-man.
Now Gather around me hearties
For I've got a sad tale to be told
Hoist the colors ye bilge rats
The call rang out, we were off for gold
Grog in our bellies, horn-pipes…
If you'd described this to me I'd have said it'll never work...
... but it does!
It's one of my least favourite Beatles songs (and I'm a big Beatles fan), this has made me reconsider it as a song in itself. Nice one.
I'm trying to bring him round.. but it don't look good.... his gone a funny grey blueey sort colour...... but if i remember right..... he looked that way when he came down the cellar in first place...........Elvis just lays beside him going ummm...ummum... and dribbling it must have been one hell of a night after i left....
Life is a quest for knowledge and a simple realization that not only is there so much we don't know but to declare it somehow is empowering. A great collaboration with Norm who is an amazing percussionist and a super cool guy! Thanks for the…
Came up with this Before bed last night.
Had to record it this morning so I wouldn't forget the Sound of it...
Live recording
I'll do a better version when I have more time...
Well.... Off to work for me...
This is…
We went to visit my dad at his assisted living facility and they have a Yamaha Clavinova on which I improvised for a half hour to provide some entertainment. This is a ~ 3 minute excerpt from about half way through. This was recorded on my Zoom…
electric mandolin on 3 tracks - 2 bowed (right and left) with viola bow and 1 strummed just a bit and mostly ebowed (center)
Washburn bass
voice with effects
drum loops sliced and diced
A second version with the initial lead guitar standing alone...a little cluttered after a few listens and some constructive feedback!
Norm's Groove for St Monica inspired this one. Thanks Norm!
Lead Guitar, bass guitar and acoustic guitar…
Well, I realized while listening to so many other great rough cuts and demos (and how much I enjoyed listening to them), that it was about time I contributed to the process. Rather than posting only completed songs, I decided to put up the rough…
Holy crap man, I have just stumbled onto the motherlode of dream pop perfection. I like your style a lot, a real lot. I'm gonna have to take the time to listen to all your songs now!!!!!
I hear you calling, calling
I know your sky, it must be falling
and you want me to get you straight
to the counterfeit you
You're feeling sloppy poppy
you want to be all 'happy' again
can I catch you up on 13th street
crazy from the…
one who is on the brink. this song displays a pensive happiness, an anticipation. It is a duet between an accoustic guitar and an extremely on point drum synth.
ok, volume is fixed, and the title too. Maybe soon I will mix it better or perhaps just move on to better things. Thanks to those who gave excellent advice on previous version.
and the #2 version has been deleted (actually this is #2).
This started as an instrumental piece until my goog friend Nick Coward wrote some lyrics andrecorded them remotely. He sent me a CD of his vocal tracks which I synched and here we have it.
Comments on Dave Berry's stuff
Love this Dave sweet as a nut and brill playing ,, Dunny
I think you did a great cover of this song. I am a Neil Young fan also! :-)
One of your best vocals to date Dave. Nice work, and fine guitfiddle work.
Sweet tone and cool mix...thanks on talking blues
I like the 'Dave's touch'..! Very nice cover, man!
Thanks for the kind remarks, Dave! I decided to check out this album first because I love the title. I'll let you know what I think in about 63 minutes!
I like it!
Interesting song!
hey, this is a damn fine tune!
hell yeah dave icame over to see all the fun.
I gotta agree with Henner. It is your best vocal. This one suits your stripped down sound perfectly.
Can't say I've heard this before from you Dave. Without a shadow of a doubt, the best vocal I've heard from you, BB. Must be a Canadian Thing!!
I'm gonna have to set aside some time to listen to this entire Lobster Man album. What have I been missing? Love the lead break on this one - right in yer face.
Good version. I've heard so many covers of this, my favorite one is by New Riders of the Purple Sage. An old country classic originally done by Lefty Frizell but written by someone else.
I've heard tell of this many times, but I have to admit I've never got round to listening to it before. Superb :-)
If you'd described this to me I'd have said it'll never work... ... but it does! It's one of my least favourite Beatles songs (and I'm a big Beatles fan), this has made me reconsider it as a song in itself. Nice one.
This is one of my all time favourite songs (though I've never heard The Band's version). Great cover - love the backing vocals, really effective.
Bring a bottle with you the doors open ...i cant get up to shut it.......
Great cover by the way
I'm trying to bring him round.. but it don't look good.... his gone a funny grey blueey sort colour...... but if i remember right..... he looked that way when he came down the cellar in first place...........Elvis just lays beside him going ummm...ummum... and dribbling it must have been one hell of a night after i left....

Very expressive song. Great vocals/lyrics.
Deep songwriting. I like it. It sets a real mood.
So good T-man, soulful and beautiful
Talented you are, nice progression.
I am going to fall off my chair again...................too good, too good...
This is art man, wild ride for sure.
So very incredible sounding. I like it a lot. Sounds like something Peter Gabriel would get up to.
Beautiful sound
yup its fine to hear this kind of thing, almost like hearing you thinking, I like that.
Another fantastic gem of a deep pop song, this is the kind of pop I like.
Holy crap man, I have just stumbled onto the motherlode of dream pop perfection. I like your style a lot, a real lot. I'm gonna have to take the time to listen to all your songs now!!!!!
Totally fantastic, sweet dreamy pop that has bite and brains. I love everything about this song, everything.

the brink of a great piece I say.
Yes sir thats fun, great flipping song. Class is in.
You got it going on, great creativity here.
Thats fantastic. great surf-punk sound
That is the coolest collection of sounds ever, this is like some kind of caveman jazz.
So very good.
Just like on Lost, so it ends just as it begins.
