A cover of Iron Angel Forge's song from his 2009 RPM Challenge album, Not Forsaken. He is here at alonetone under the name IronAngel.
I haven't told him yet, though, so it's a surprise ;~)
this is the slightly sparkly version of my version of Moschell's "Boxes and Strings" from his 'Circus of Freaks and Fools' RPM Challenge CD. I recorded it as a video last night and redid it in the studio (unfinished sauna) today.
Written today.
recorded on an iMac with the internal mic and no headphones (!) so it's probably going to be muddy as hell, but that feels about right for now.
LYRIC:
Fill up the glass, Bartender
Ply your art
Quench the fire in here, now…
gotta love a good blues tune!
PS. thanks for the comment on Dubadadidabadu - yeah, the volume on the vocal is way too low - but i never got around to fixing it. The vocal (and a few other choice parts) are actually the work of another recent alonetoner, K. Scot Sparks.

This was the first time I'd fired up my telecaster and amp for a recording and it felt like sitting in Sun Studios or something. Amazing sound after playing just acoustic instruments for a year. It's the first take and I loved it!
This is now…

A grief song. You know this place. If you don't then move on while you still can. Seriously. Don't click ..
This is a tidied up version, I managed to get rid of some of th noise and rebalance the vocals 18/3/09
Damn. The intro gtr, it's tone, what a great sound. It sounds like an old recording. I like how you left the ambient noise with it. What a great recording.

I had no idea myself - I just got into this morning and started to get the feel of the song and the house was all quiet and then presto - it was done. Now I should get back outside and get the scrap into the trailer like I'm supposed to!

Holy Smokes! I had no idea... heh.
Great Job! It sounds far better than my quick take still dripping from the shower did. Your guitar lines are much prettier as well!
Thanks Gumbo!

I just left this on repeat for the last hour
There's a wonderful melancholy to it that sits nicely with the optimistic trotting horse of the music
I love this!
Dang, everyone except Rob (and Laura) (and me) liked the previous version! (Cupid's Own Knife)
Only i did this with the lyrics so maybe one can be a bonus track ...
aargghh ... why didn't i write a *different* song?
i just went and re-read what you wrote at RPM, Rob/Laura and I must apologise - you actually said you like it - i didn't though, so i re-recorded, but then it felt like me against the world lol
ANd now guess what - i listened to the first one again and it sounds OK to me too. Aaaarrggghhh again. :-)
Weird how my mind plays tricks on me

This is a good place for me to be....it does me good to remember this.
God around me
God within me
there's nothing i need to fear
always remember you're here
Love is a slippery beast.
Just when you think you've got a firm hold of it, it squirts out of your hands like a piece of wet soap and ends up somewhere in India on a spiritual quest for an obscure guru.
better than i expected from your write up lol
this is pretty smooth and i think i might have to fave it
i'll hold off for a few minutes though to make sure i'm not just ab-reacting
This is the finished version of Iris Florentine. The acoustic version is still up, though...

Very Nice Mr Choirvey! Love the shifts within it.
My partner just asked if this was Antony and the Johnsons, which I take as a fine compliment so I'm passing it on. Beautiful track.
