Welcome to my 300th Alonetone upload! I sit with a pile of books to read in a house full of boxes and my studio is not even completely set up; however, I had no choice but to write and record this tune today once the sun went down. This song is about living far away from everyone that you love. It’s unfinished, but I it’s going to take awhile to do what I want with it so I’m just uploading it now to capture the moment.

Instrumentation: Kalimba, synthesizers, drum programming, chopped tabla recording, and vocals.

Thanks for all the comments! It's very nice to have such a kind audience of fellow musicians-- I appreciate the support and it's nice to have a little virtual home for my music to live freely, especially now that I moved far away from everyone I know in the analog world :-)

what a wonderful ethereal whirlpool to dip in before I rest :) Missing your presence.

hey this cleaned up well. The opening vox reminds very 80s :-) Triggered a funny association.

Beautiful and brave. Your new ventures with vocals remind me a bit of RJD2's recent move in "The Third Hand"- except I think you have a better voice.

Johnny Stone said October 2, 2009 9:51am

Oh yes nice one as usual well done.

Guest said October 2, 2009 8:54am
