I'm a little under whelmed with my lack of melodic development…

This is an Awesome sound!
Paints a real picture in my mind!
I see a monotone scene... people asleep in the streets after a big party... Odd rays of sunlight coming down between the clouds and shining on the sleeping crowd... People waking up.. Then making their ways home...
Cool Music Bro! First tune I have ever heard that Puts an instant and random image in my mind!

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
Classic Sparling! Nice one Doug!
Another great tune. How do you like the pod xt?
cool, you've got lovely tones going on there - (there's an odd cutoff at the end though)
Another classy, ambient geetah track. Lovely, Doug!
Dreamy, light and full of promise. Soundtrack to a first kiss. :-)
Another nice one! Always love the ambience you create in these pieces.
I've never heard of EBow. I had to look it up. Shows I'm a fossil.. Sweet sounds Mr.Sparling.
this is a neat piece of music, Like it!!
Right on - Cool mood you have set!
I'm Glad I got that RC20!!! This stuff is Amazing! I Hope I can sound a fraction as good as this!!!!

Just Got me an RC 20... This has inspired me to get better at looping. This is stunning!
Great track mate really great guitaring.
Great work as usual!! Awesome intro. I always love finger picking..but not really nose picking.. heh.
Best effort Doug. Real nice.
Holy crap. What a build. Beautiful and inspiring (makes me really glad that I've started playing guitar myself).
Love cool! Love those harmonics in the outro. Great stuff man!
You nailed that tune, very nice.
I like it, Doug. Will record a "main theme" to this sunshine soundscape
I like the anthem-ish approach here. Good 'un Doug.

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.
