A song about being self-centered, it needed to be full of angst and antagonism, but also needed the glimmer of something bigger still. Already people have sent me notes, which I am grateful for, but everyone seems to misinterpret the meaning of…
Don't tell me how it is, I'm good, I got it, I got it. But are we blind, and are there cracks in a facade? The riff was what came first, probably while watching the idiot box one evening. I am pretty sure it came very soon after RPM '15, and I…

This song is meant to be the intro, set the stage, and talk about the direction of the album. The riff came to me while I was absent-mindedly noodling on my gtr in front of the idiot box one day. I knew at that point I had an album opener of a…
He missed you, and though you failed more often than not, you are welcome back home. And there you have it, in all of it's declarations, to ponder, to think about, to question, to wonder. Sonder.
Ok, before I go any further, I need to thank Alonetoner Greg Connor. He proposed a song-writing challenge around the theme of "Who Knew" in early/mid December. Many musicians here in the Alonetone community wrote some amazing songs around this…
Things are great, but then the doubt explodes into technicolor fear. Stoicism can't defeat reality, or is it awareness? And still the antagonist is there. Hard to know.... Another TV-time riff (I hardly watch it, but when I do, I always have a…

This Lovin’ Cup- I was watching the idiot box and just holding my guitar when this little vamp on a B chord came out of nowhere. Using the same recorder, I recorded about 20 seconds of the riff. The lyrical idea came on the trip to Chicago, while…
This all ends, some days are good, some days you are no further than where you first began, or worse. Have faith. The song started life from the verse gtr. It was actually a variation of an idea from 2014. That idea went on to become the song…

Do any of us have any idea of what we are doing? Can we ever get it right, and do we understand the importance of blind faith? And again, the antagonist.

A Song About an old Saying......
Sh*t Happens......
Lyrics
T.Mokbul 2010
-In A Day-
Half a Glass of Gasoline
Mixed with Some Kerosene
Stirred in with Coffee
Laced with amphetamine
All That it Takes in A Day
To get by…
From the archives. Traditional Irish slow air. Myself on the Uilleann pipes with synth backing. This was recorded at a concert here in Weston back in I think '92. Originally recorded on an ancient 4 track machine and then transferred to cassette…
all the pounding waves
drowning out the sound
the sound is poison
diving down below
sinking very slow
drown away the sound
if I, can't make it
stop your soliloquy
I feel the death inside me
in this succession
the still and quiet
I will succumb…
I found this while doing some clearing out. Its the only demo me and a friend Ben Price recorded when we were briefly looking to form a band in about 2005/2006. Listening back to it, strained vocals aside I kinda liked it so thought I should give…

This album is grabbing me :-)
Oh yesss
Ha - naturally a song like this comes on when I'm trying (unsuccessfully) to replace the blinds on my window. The lyrics fit the task perfectly.
Hell YEAH!

Cool song brother. I like the simplicity of the guitar mixed with the dark lyrics.
The slide gtr parts have this great earthy tone to them. This song has a great feel. I love the suspensions and country blues overtones.
And yet again, more brilliant finger style playing. Beautiful work, Kavin.
Such great finger-picking... I love the song and all of the changes. Great one Kavin, simply great.
Love the Univibe effect here...
Tasty, very tasty.
I like the raw energy you put into your songs Rob. I would come see you live in heartbeat. Cheers, Gary
This has kind of a cool Revolver goes country feel to it. Nice work Rob. Cheers, Gary...
Kirk, Your versatility and skill with different styles, instruments and moods never ceases to amaze me. Cheers, Gary
Great song Mr. Moody. Excellent vox on this one.
Alex, I need to listen to you a lot more.
Cool piece, love the textures. The classical gtr interplay with the synth, the pads...all of it. Cheers! Gary
Большие песни. Cheers, Gary
This is an excellent piece. I love the melody and the tone of the piano.
I like the interplay between the clarinets and violins (violas?) And kirk is right, the cello is beautiful.
This one has a cool vibe and tone to it. Excellent work. I like the solo parts, they feel like you could float on them.
This is a very cool tune. Great falsettos... Wow, what a great voice. Organ is killer...
Bethan's right. Great track.
Great vibe here Skidoo! It's rainy here and around 1am. I have the windows wide open and this is up loud.
I like where this is going Alex
