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.
Here's the second song I recently decided to do with a studio recording from one I wrote and posted here a while ago as a purely vocal version. It's one of my favorites.... I hope you'll enjoy it too
Singing In The Silence
Verse 1:
Singing…
A Piece of Pi is our newest composition. It’s a brief summary of the story “Life of Pi”. A wonderful story needs a wonderful song. Hopefully we can meet this challenge and find like-minded people out there.
Jamming with a couple buddies. I screwed the lyrics up but it was fun to do. Who doesn't want to at least try an AC/DC tune?
A live recording:
Me: Vox, Bass
Joel: Guitar, Backing Vox
Chris: Drums, Backing Vox
Once in a nightmare
I knew you then
I think we were related,
I'm not sure
maybe we were strangers.
We'd look in windows and climb
the trees that grew,
and if it'd rained outside
we'd take off our shoes.
And when I'd see you
I would…
My light-hearted take on a serious issue.
Over- prescription of powerful and addictive drugs, and the unknown and (to some) worrying relationship between doctors and the drug companies.

This was my attempt as a songwriter to make a commercially sellable song. It didn't work, but I love how it turned out anyway. These are the lyrics:
Got Feet, Won’t Dance
At the Lazy L he’s the head Ranch Hand
He came for whiskey…
Thanks Tom. Just a few noises thrown together and hopefully tuneful enough to endure. It's my tribute to V.H. but sadly without a voice like Dave Lee or an awesome guitar solo haha!

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.
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!
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!!
