I adore the chord motion around 1:30 to 1:40. Oh, it's part of the progression. It happens at :18 and :35 and probably elsewhere. Funny I did not hear it first time through until the fourth repetition or so!
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!

I like the line "you talk about nothing / to fill the empty space."
This is wonderful! w;-)
Pretty cool.....
I enjoyed the nice burbling flanger at the end, too.

Reminds me of some of Gilmour's post-psychedelia contributions to the Floyd. :) (I hope that's a compliment.)
I can hear the woods and mountains. Song of the outdoors - where was it going to at the end???
Excellent - live track. Liking the guitar playing too.
rich and pure sound...excellent song.

Vocals wow!!
Great vocals! Feels like some peter gabriel esque vibes with the placement of the lyrics.
Reminds me of a scene from a point and click adventure game from the 90's - very atmospheric.
Sounds like the steel skin of a robot shimmering in the sun.
Beautiful - love the tones and the empty spaces.
Cool, sounds mysterious like a soundtrack to a true crime podcast. Good job!
Beautiful Colleen

Thanks Colleen...I never know what to call things, I should just use numbers.

Cool atmosphere - feels like the soundtrack to investigating a strange planet.
Nice.
