There's some harmonic thing going on in the background that is so delicious I'm on my second listen because of it. A great tune, love that panned electric picking, so sweet. Wicked vocals, must have listened to this five times by now, way too short!
A beautiful, gorgeous song, with a tasty, powerful bass, a cool strumming technique, great vocal delivery, intriguing lyrics, and sweet picking. Far out job, Man -- Rock on!
Love the shifting sections of this piece.... Excellent guitar throughout, obviously --- but the bed tracks are all just excellently put together. Even a tantalizing vocal section at the very end. Well done, all around!!
Written for my sweet Dad... and for anyone else going through the hard times at the end, this is for you too
By Your Side
Chorus:
I just want to sit by your side
Hold your hand
And let the world go by
Hear your stories
About a…
It's raining outside
There's nowhere to hide
I got feet of iron
Slowly rusting
From a life that
Came before me
I was slow to the dance
No brain for romance
And this water torture
Is getting old
I'm looking for a
Dry face to call home.
Home
Is where the heart bows down
Home
See the lights turn down
Where you lay
Your head
Tonight
Oh my love
You are beautiful
And I hope
That you sleep
Tonight
Oh my love
You are beautiful
Everything's alright
Everything's alright
Sometimes it hurts inside
But everyone's got their fight
Oh my love
You are the morning light
I go to bed
I see your face
Here an acoustic trial session of a song I’m playing around with at the moment. It’s half in French and half in English for now. One day, when time allows me :-) I will add musical instruments. For now questioning myself whether to do keep this…
I decided this was a good song to post on Thanksgiving as a way to say thanks to all the folks on AloneTone for listening to my music over these past few years. This is another song in the studio work I've been doing this year. We're still tinkering…
Greg Connor added his amazing harp to the song. It really adds depth to it. I love Greg's playing on the song. Thanks so much, Greg! This is why Alonetone is great.
Lyrics & Music by Nick Plagakis
I count my blessings…
lullaby featuring piano (but of course!)
Notes:
Today I learned how to add an insert effect to the master channel. The song was way quiet so it got boosted via a limiter. Hurray.
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.

Thanks for the nice comments doktordoktor - I don't use fx because I don't know how to. Or how to do anything recording wise to be honest - I'm learning. Your stuff sounds so much more polished than mine. Keep it up and thanks again!
Sitting around in my shop a couple of days ago with the Goodall and the Zoom H4N. First time I've really messed with using the internal mics on the H4N in multitrack mode
INFATUATION UNREQUITED
They say it's just infatuation
I only wish that it was true
Infatuation unrequited
feels like love to me for you
And then they say, "Silence is golden,"
and I don't know what to do
The Autumn leaves the branches…

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

Comments on Ed Craig's stuff
Mellow and really pretty
Nice. Relaxing and evocative tune.
I like that touch of adding new instrument voicing at different times of the song. It freshens everything up. Well done.
Tranquil and inviting! The loop that comes in at the end is a great idea, but it distracted me from the easy listening.
Like the crackling record start. Nice guitar sound, reminds me a little of LedZep Bron y aur. Good work
This is really cool. Great vocals and love that unique sound at the end.
Beautiful song Craig
Just listened for the first time. Delicious and moody... Will be back to listen to more. Good tune.
wonderful layering. The build is hauntingly beautiful. I could see this on a soundtrack of a HBO series.

Woo! This is a bit good.

Loving the piano, guitar, and drums together!
Cool drums and atmosphere! Such a cool beat. Nice atmosphere and electric guitar tones! Great song!
I like the different sections, each one revealing a new sound space. Good one.

Awesome guitar work, I like it a lot
cool track mate!
I dig the lyrics. Great mood to the song.
I like the line "you talk about nothing / to fill the empty space."

Wow. Beautiful guitar work. Reminds me of early genesis steve hacket stuff.
Heartbreaking - nice space. A great raw honest voice.
Nice man - good story telling. Guitar sounds sweet and you've got a very distinctive voice.
