Morning light on the mountain stream,
catches the eye of the child within his dreams.
The day begins, present and aware,
of all the beauty, he plays without a care.
Castles on the riverbank, a choir of birds in song,
picking spring flowers in…
Hi Dave , just listened to Castles on the Riverbank , very impressive indeed my musical buddy , a very good song , full of tight guitar playing , and a vox that is getting more and more confident , well done mate ,
definately will give the whole album a listen now

We call this Beat-box ghosts (the prog-fu mix). A fun collab between Osckilo and myself. Osckilo had this song he did called Ghosts, all done beat-box. I had to ask him what beat-box meant, I had no idea. I took his original track (just his…
The next step in the progression of this song... It still needs quite a bit of cleanup (and some extra arranging), but it's getting there.
Hey, everyone writes songs about falling in love (which for me was, like, seventeen years ago), so I thought…
Aarrhhh ye scurvy sons (and daughters) of sea-rats, the pesky pluckers have been at it again.
Pin back yer lug-holes or it's the plank ye'll be hoping for!
Is it incomplete? Yes... Does it need a whole lot of cleaning up? Yes... Are there lyrics? Yes... Does it need more arrangement? Yes (but that's coming with a little collaboration on the way)... So, yes the title is the actual title to…
My first rejected Ramen Music submission.
Too Much
I wrote you a letter but I never sent it
I was afraid you might never get it
or what if you did and I lived to regret it
and it was just too much for me to take
now its four in the morning…
so very good. I love this song. It is the loss of the folks who rejected it I say, It was too good for their purposes. They couldn't handle the deep soul of this track.
there is a story to this song,
about friendship strong.
a careful collaboration between three artists.
Launched- guitar, vocals, and songwriting
Norm- drums sampled from his song 'surf naked'
Hot Wheels Spaulding playing, well nothing really…
my brain on my ex - originates from 1996 - details below.
Dulled
What can I tell you?
I hold nothing inside
My brain aches from lack of....
Direction
I am shriveling up inside
Having not one thing to express
And my feelings are dulled…
This recording has been through hell, pretty much like I was when I wrote this: It was recorded written and played by me, on a fostex four track. At the time even true love had let me down, and decided its dreams "for" me were more important than…
Makes me think of "13 floor elevators", this one has the spook. Thats a great vocal. I really like this. I need to spend some time listening to your tunes.

You live long enough... you take some real hits. And the only way to get on, is, to, "Pick myself up, walk down the long long road". Lifes real easy when it's all theoretical, but it's never been lived until the theories and philosophies are trashed…
Comments on Dave Berry's stuff
Very very cool mate.
super cool stuff!
killer blues...this IS the down and dirty good stuff!
I dig it. (I'm not criticizing, but a tiny bit of reverb/echo on the drums would be perfect.)
Love the guitar solo's, i agree with Ted the Waites delivery is nice and Bluesy, there must be a better way if only we could find it
Very nice. Nice lyrical observation, too.
Nice tone on those solos man!
Nice. Like Tom Waites channeling Howlin Wolf.
A song a day helps you work rest and play and seems to keep me sain
Merry Christmas Dave
Kicks some major butt! Great job Dave!
Good reinvention! Love DJ!
