He can't play nicely or share his toys
He always takes from the other boys
Got no time for music or vids
Doesn't act like the other kids
Does Donald
Don't let Donald play
He's gonna spoil your day
Believe his words if you must
But only…
A nice Talking Heads-esque biting commentary on The Donald. I consider myself a guitarist first and so my ear is always initially drawn in that direction and I like what you have going on here on that instrument. I also think the drums, vocals, and bass are nicely intertwined and complement each other well. Another fav, Steve!
A distress call from space is picked up, and then a race to rescue the crew ensues. I have attempted to contrast the peace of space with the urgency and determination of the rescue mission, and it's eventual success.

This is really awesome - my only complaint is that I wished I had heard it sooner! It would fit perfectly between Jeff Beck's "My Thing" and "So What" songs off his 2003 album, Jeff (which is his best album, imo). Excellent work, Steve!

Thanks Tom. I try to vary it a bit and not be too predictable. Next time I'm going to do a longer tune than the usual two minutes, but I don't want it to become boring. We'll see.
Collaboration that I did with Beatwavecr. He composed the music, and I had done the vocals/lyrics. (September 2018 -- I fine-tuned the vocals and levels just slightly, but am trying to resist any further bouts of OCD.)
Lyrics :
[verse 1…
It's been a while...
This song was recorded with another verse, it ties the song together nicely but who the heck wants to listen to a 5 minute song about depressing stuff? We're really looking forward to feedback from those of you who've like…

Thanks DJ UrSine. I'm happy that you listened and liked it.
Thanks Tom. I wanted to convey urgency and confusion in the song. Glad you like it. BTW - I must listen to some Beck.

COOL! Real original!
I love how the heavy bass groove contrasts with the light crystalline reverb! The voices are a nice touch, too!
Thank you Colleen
Thanks Proods!
Lots of cool twists and turns here. Love how it keeps surprising! And now we are space dancing!!!!
Excellent as ALWAYS! Different...best so far!!

Cool stuff, Steve! I really like how you have an interplay between playful and profound moods.

Impressive guitar work and very listenable. Super!
Cool groove, melodic and strange too. Nice job!
Like the song guys, reminiscent of a 60s sound to me. nice to hear from you again.
Thanks Tom. I have another almost done, and also one you might want to work with. : )
Nice acoustic cover, your voice and guitar strips the song back and gives it some soul!
Melancholic but engaging and beautiful at the same time
I’m happy that you enjoyed it Psychic Sperm. : )
Glad you liked it Jason!

Like this a lot. You express the feeling very convincingly and bring the words to life. Great!
Thanks keycrazy. I try to keep it interesting. I’m grateful to you for listening carefully and commenting on my music.
Suits your style well. Tom will be applauding from heaven I reckon. Good job!
Beautiful acoustic song Tom. Great performance!
Really nice sound and feel to this. Wish I could sing as well as you Tom! Great!
Atmospheric sound and great vocals Tom! The chord syncing sounds difficult but you made an excellent job of it. Great job!
