I didn't write the songs, Greg did (expand the song notes on any song, you'll see I gave him the credit, and I did ask Greg if it was OK to post the songs). I did write guitar parts, arrangements, etc., but Greg was the writer. I sadly can't write lyrics...
Its a song that was inspired by a dream I had. In fact.. it was the soundtrack to the dream. The ending is purposely left with a feeling of being not finished, as I can't remember how the dream ended.
I hope you all like it :)

@another cultural landslide, @kirklynch, @Sister Savage: Anthem indeed, and we wore our U2 influences proudly on our sleeves. This song was written about a childhood friend who commited suicide (apparently a few hours after seeing us play at the local pub). I did me "Edge" thing (yeah, Kirk, I was "Scenic Overlook") - I tuned my guitar something like AAEAAE, don't remember exactly, and yeah, that timed delay, that was great stuff :)
Started off with me just goofing around with Battery and a couple of other NI things (which are new to me) and grew into this...
It may still have places to go.
Yesterday I bought a very lovely sample set from Soniccouture called [The Skiddaw Stones](http://www.soniccouture.com/en/products/p4-the-skiddaw-stones/).
 two hour tune. Written and recorded yesterday, edited and mixed today. I might as well get it uploaded now because I'll be spending the next two weeks preparing to move across the country.
Lyrics:
We…
I hereby name this the "bridge to nowhere" mix since it was the musical content of the bridge that I spent the most time on.
If you've heard the song before, I've provided a shortcut video that plays the bridge from last night's version vs. tonight…
I made this simple song to try out playing an acoustic guitar with an ebow. It works, but it's quite quiet. The movement of the fingers on the fretboard is louder than the sounds. I didn't use any effects on the guitar tracks.
I recorded my voice…
Comments on dougsparling's stuff
I love the saturated sound on this one!
very nice,,, also a gentle wander through your chosen cords( as i just mentioned about "wind voices, the song following yours on the uploads),,, pretty,, well done!!
beautiful
I love your steel guitar work...
Excellent orchestral layering, Doug.
I think the entire world should be buddhist.
wow. I became lost in the beauty. And it felt good. Thanks for sharing. Very emotional and powerful playing....yet done with elegance.
Classic Sparling. These are the sounds I love!
A pity more peoples' hearts don't tremble. Fairly aggressive with an underlying wistful melody, I like the contrast very much.
Great stuff man! Love those almost vocal sounding effects
Really nice Doug Dig it mate.
Great song! nice
Excellent track Doug :) w;-)
Very Cool Doug.
Lovely! Keep on accidentally keeping these pieces! :)
well played
Very cool picking and I like how it blends into something mystical in the end.
Has a real country feel!, nice tune.
Like spinning, very cool!

Another beauty...
Gorgeous...

Wonderful, well done.
Wow, this is a great tune. Love it...
nice beat, nice guitars...

Very interesting, indeed. I like it...
Great tune, great sound. Good luck (again) on the move.
OK, I submit. I'm going to put all your music on my iPod.
Damn, I love this stuff...welcome to Alonetone BTW.
This takes me to a place I like to be. Lovely sound and space.
Beautiful!
Lovely tune...
That's a beautiful song - sonically very, very pleasing (love the finger squeaks, BTW). Just wonderful...
tranquil, melancholy, very inspiring
Very nice...lovely atmosphere.
