Simple little song. My view on how love really falls apart. Last verse is in my opinion an add-on. I wrote it after the rest, at the behest of someone who thought it was too "un-hopeful". It may have been a goood thing.
Ok, everybody. I hope you can hang in there on this one. Yes it's longer. This is the fruit of Steve and my's first collaboration. He'd heard me do this at a party, got in touch with me, and said, "I'd like to collaborate on this, if you're okay…
There's an emotional edge to this beautiful voice, goes so deep, like you barely get it out sometime, balanced between singing it, and the deep emotion that comes through.

Started listening to this..... forgot where I was. Forgot I was listening to something, just, I don't know, became part of the song. Damn, this is embarrassing, but I've got tears in my eyes, just from the beauty of the music. And then, the lyrics start. Found myself feeling a little lost, as if I came back somewhere else, or just changed a little, when the end came. To long? Not a chance. I could listen to this forever.

Hello,
The out lying islands is a jest on my part, I live in Florida , which at times seems as so.
Marooned is a base backing track knock off from pink floyd. I added some keys and bass stuff and lead guitar stuff.
And thanks for kind words on my tunes. Dark waters rocks, good work.

I'm including this, beacause I want to be able to say, and demonstrate, just what Steve Buzzell, my musical partner and collaborator means to several of the songs that are either here already, or will follow. This is all Steve. In all the songs…
Awesome music...you're lucky to have found someone you work so well with - and he's also lucky. Haha, and you're very lucky especially, as my last musical partner used to say stuff to me like, 'I'd like to hear more melody. Keep working on it.' Looking forward to hearing what you do with this.
I was dreaming one night, and this song came, it was part of what I was going through in the dream. I woke up with the emotion, the words, and the melody still going. Got out of bed (Like 4AM! ugh!) went down to the studio and recorded the melody…
I am completely with you on the "I have to get out of bed RIGHT NOW and capture this" thing, ha! Have to say, if that's how you usually create, then it's working. Great song-writing, wonderfully pro performances from all musicians, and I love your voice! I'm not usually a fan of longer tracks, but you kind of take me along with you, and I want to keep listening. Liking your Indiana Jones avatar also...but that's not important. :-)
Well, hot summer night. Beautiful woman dancing in the moonlight, (the goddesses knew what they were doing, a man doesn't stand a chance against this), knees going weak.... hearts' pounding...head spinning = new song. (Love was already there…

This recording has been through hell, pretty much like I was when I wrote this: It was recorded written and played by me, on a fostex four track. At the time even true love had let me down, and decided its dreams "for" me were more important than…

So I just picked up my second cup of coffee this morning and clicked on this jewel. What a great way to start my day. Top notch from the music to the vox to the production. Straight to favorites.

The flute on this piece is done by a very gifted flute player by the name of Melinda Eckels. You will hear Melinda on any of the songs where I use flute. Her abilities have spoiled me so, that I can never use keyboard or my limited flute skills…
I do three things after waking up these days: I shower. I make coffee. I play this song and drink my coffee.
Nothing complicated. Nothing fancy. Just some basic fingerpicking to test my motor skills and bring some aural sunshine into my day.
The first version.
This is the first and only song I wrote on [arrsuarez](http://alonetone.com/arrsuarez)'s Christmas gift to me, a mbira that he lovingly crafted by hand.
Several years ago I had a short lived duo with an oboe and English horn player named Nat. This is a demo from that period. It's an old old chord progression of mine that never really had a melody and Nat improvised this melody in the studio to…

I stumbled here from another artists' site. Suddenly I feel blind. You see hear and feel things new to me, or at least in a new way. Make me world fresh. Think I'll go for a long walk in the night, listen with the new ears you've given me.
Time never ends.... but we do.... ah there is the rub, for those of us who've tasted mortality, and the knowledge that all the dues eventually get paid , get called in.
Anything that has the title, "Desert Sunset", has me right away. I miss them deeply. The music delivers what the title suggests. I will be returning to listen, repeadtedly. On, the song you commented on "This Strange Parade", you were right, it was over 40mbs, perhaps that's why the music was cut off at the end, and the chorus just goes for a stroll naked, so to speak- it was just cut at 40mb's. Thanks for your knid comments by the way. Dan Gipson
Hey, OSCKILO! You were Johnny on th espot on This Strange Parade! I hadn't even finished saying how unfinished it was. Thanks for the comments, on it and all the others. Now, as to this song. Just what I needed to help me get through this world when all I want to do is play. It's beautiful. Thanks
A little something I recorded on a Zoom H4n, acoustic was recorded from built in condensors, strat was recorded plugged into bottom jack using only onboard effects, mixed in Reaper and mastered in Soundforge.
just goes to show: it ain't the equipment, it's the artist. you came through in this, probably could come through with an old cigar box with a stick through it, and four strings. You made this dance.
I've ben away from most of ya, and I'm sorry for that. Thing's have slowed down, and I can't wait
to hear everyone's new music, to try and be an artist, a full time employee and ect....it can be
awfully frustrating. I can't wait to listen and…

this is one fun tune. Then the words. How do you do this?
There's an emotional edge to this beautiful voice, goes so deep, like you barely get it out sometime, balanced between singing it, and the deep emotion that comes through.

Thank you all for your comments. Closest to the heart. Dan
:) Very vivid accounts of times in the desert.
Well done!!
So obviously sublime any comment seems redundant.
Most excellent! That sax floating in the background is perfect
I'm listening to this track. It's sounds quite excellent so far man. Great stuff.

PS - Gorgeous Santana vibe! This wouldn't be out of place on his Supernatural album. Very cool song-writing.
Midsummer is a magical time - captured beautifully here by both music and voice. (Bring sun block - Sexy factor 11.)
I love this. Wow!
well done , great tune.
So I just picked up my second cup of coffee this morning and clicked on this jewel. What a great way to start my day. Top notch from the music to the vox to the production. Straight to favorites.
Very nice R&B groove! Great vocals and production.
Very Imaginative piece of work. You've got a really great voice fella.
Nice! Love the melody and lyrics
Comments made by iconoclast
Nice! Love the harmonizing effect of the vocals/guitar. little bit 'o sonic beauty
How can one not like this? Little bit of enchantment.
Great song, lyrics, vocals. Thanks!
ohhh... and then you start layin' down the law with that guitar! Michaelangelo paintin' that finger comin' down from the sistine chapel of our sky
ohhh yeahhhhhh....
very nice. A pleasure to experience.
aural sunshine and coffee are essential to any day!
wonderful mood! Hey! how'd you get that pic in there? be fun to do some times.
Thought I'd stop by and pick a favorite... I listened to them all... guess that says something. Nice, Thank you
Time out for danno, (that's me) soothe the soul. Thanks Kirk
Thank you all for your comments. Closest to the heart. Dan
I like this this. Tension in the music fits the lyrics like a glove.
Love the guitar, and vox! Hello Dover!
Dweeb! This is too much fun! The ultimate travelogue.

I feel this one, thank god we can write it out, eh? Like what you're doing here. It speaks for you.
