This was the original version I recorded before I completely overhauled it (see version on "It takes a village album ). I wasnt crazy about it but hell I put time into it and completed it so why not post it up.

The core of the music is heavily inspired by Joni Mitchell. Its been spinning around for years in my head so hearing this song finally recorded feels good.
Oh yeah! :)
You were made to do this stuff... Now you gotta figure out how to incorporate this into the original songwriting... (don't ask me how - I can't do it either!!! lol)
This is a bonus track of sorts for the mock EP It takes a village. I had the verse chord chages around for many years but just until last week the song and lyrics came together really quickly. I thought I heard a band arrangement originally but…

FYI, there is a glitch in the number of listens on this track. The other day 70+ listens popped up from in one day from another alonetoner. Has this happened to anyone else? Strange.
First new one from me in a long time.
Kind of a love song, I guess.
Recorded in my new "studio" (3rd bedroom in the new house). Almost up and running now... shine and don't stop wondering!

On my way…
I may have posted on fuzzy kittie....damn smartphones aint for dummies....dig the song...reminds me of something Buck Dharma would do with Billy Joel....good stuff SC!
I can't quite believe that I'm posting this, or that I've even recorded it. But I've played it like this sat on the sofa in the living room for many years, and I needed something to check out how to record a live "one vocal and one guitar" song…

Okay, after a few tweaks, spaceship sounds, fuzz guitar and a better drum track I am happy now.
Maybe you have a stalker lol
Love your voice, that's a certainty!

Good song all around. All the instruments interact well and the recording is clean. You have a great soulful tone to your voice.
Has a funky zztop vibe! Schweet!
Thank you my friend. I have never been much of a shred meister but I try to at least phrase my lead lines to fit within the song.
