The title track from my 2007/2008 effort... This little song represents the main reason why I started playing seriously... So I could let my kids know how much they meant to me.
See you in the morning
Watch you in the sunrise
Springtime's in…
The song that really kicked off this second album of 2009.
"In time all the stars will fade away
Our kind won't get to see it anyway
No shine, just endless black between the gray
I won't be going out in that way"
Along with her magnificent harmonizing vocal tracks, Inge sent me one track which was crashed by her 2-year old son Willem. He pretty much takes over the whole operation at about 3:00.
In the background you can hear the original rough vocals…
I'm really thinking of renaming the upcoming "Burning Wood... The Bonfire Sessions" album "Stealing Genius." I write something simple, put down some picking at the beginning, some acoustic guitar and some vocals, and send it off to people with…

Nice speech man!! There are actually so many good songs it's hard to figure out where to start...every artist I click on had a pile of good tracks. If nothing else maybe we can all post some fav's to the forums and find even more amazing tracks we missed.
The contrast of this aging "summer boy" and his outdoors-loving daughter who is more than happy to run out into the cold.

Thank you so much M.T.C. Music award committee for recognizing such a relatively simple acoustic track from such a relatively simple person... (puts hand over mic to ask presenter, "Are you sure I really won this... Did you read the wrong name?")...
I'd like to thank my new laptop for not crashing during the 2011 RPM process, and not developing an editing mind of it's own as the last one had. I'd also like to thank time, seeing as how I needed so friggin' much of it to get the fingerpicked portions of this song eventually done right.
A big thank you to the inspiration for the songs, my always-ready-to-go-no-matter-how-absurdly-cold-it-is daughters. And a special thank you to my beautiful (and extremely tolerant) wife Kimberly for taking these same terrific daughters off my hands during my February vacation (sorry, Florida, for the pink invasion).
Where's the after party!

This is a great track, and Williems inclusion adds to the lighthearted nature of the song :) agree with MTC's comment about having it as a hidden track

I think you should us this as a hidden track on the cd man. Seriously...music, and especially on this site, should be for the love of music and to share it....hidden track bro...just sayin...
This is OUTSTANDING!!! Anyone can write a poignant song that'll make people cry, but it takes real skill to write a poignant song that'll make people laugh.
So well written... This truly is brilliant.
Hey superstar! I feel especially spoiled having heard this one from you last year!!! Damn, I love that voice of yours.
I look forward to making more music with you... Any time you'd like.
Songcrafters.org did a "Live in the living room "festival recently...
The only music I can play in my living room these days is the odd lot of contemplative classical guitar, as anything else would wake up the family at night... :)

Holiday song written and recorded for the RPM Holiday Challenge 2011. This is about a California transplant waxing nostalgic about Christmas in New England.
Remastered: Nov 2015
Remixed: Nov 2023
I thought I'd share a recording of one of the first rehearsals for a show I was a part of this november 16th
It's one of the newest songs I've written and I feel very close to it, also the people who I got to perform with are absolutely amazing…
but the girls is around
...
Now you're back in town and you claim that you followed the seam fingertips tight on the dream and slapped with some mission of peace but the girls is around with that hip modern remakin' sound yeah you stole it…
I found a cassette tape the other day from 1991 which turned out to be live to 2 track demos that Scartaglen did in the studio in preparation for our 3rd and (as it turned out) final album. This tune didn't make the cut for the record but I always…
So after hearing some of Stephen Krell's outstanding picking, I asked him if he'd like to play along with any of my songs... I can't be happier with the one he picked to add his banjo to (seeing as how the song is written about my favorite Pete…
For the record, this song was written specifically with Jim's MTC goodness in mind, so I hear this version as frighteningly incomplete... But it is how it sounds when it's just me at the bonfire, so thanks to those of you who like this version as well.
Leaves everywhere today. Autumn has come late this year in London it seems.
Reminded me of a song Me Geir and Mark wrote a while back...
Written and recorded in a three hour time period from three places across the world. We just all happened…
Music and lyrics by Brian Vaughn.
I shouldn't have to say this, but I can't stand this silence.
And I wonder if you know what i'm going through.
It seems way too common for words and acts to disagree,
But I expected more from you.
I told…
Just flipped open the laptop to this here on alonetone. Just an outstanding track. The opening buck-fifty-seven of guitarwork is simply brilliant... And the song only gets better with the spot-on vocals.
Radio-ready.
I know before I've mentioned hints of Matthew Sweet (in all the great vocal delivery and outstanding songwriting) and Foo Fighters (with the incredibly guitar-driven arrangements and counterpoint of clean and edgy), but this music is so much more than the sum of those parts. I suspect that if either Mr. Sweet or Mr. Grohl heard this track, they'd say, "Damn, I wish I'd written that."
This song delivers like a powerfully honest stream of consciousness that leaves me thinking of one word only...
Integrity.
Outstanding track, Brian. This truly is music at its best.
Lyrics and music by Brian Vaughn.
Love, love, love...
Look up and down.
There are shapes in the clouds,
And ants on the ground who march in line,
To the roots of a tree,
Whose bark carries the name,
Of a girl whose boy thought her worth…
Damn, man... Always blown away by your professional sound. Music like this is the reason why I haven't bought a commercial album in years. There ain't anything on the radio I'd rather listen to.
This is just a really simple string/piano piece that resulted from two years of half-hearted tinkering. As of now the cello is too loud and the snare sounds too sample-y, but I'd appreciate any other criticism.
An unusual traditional tune from the first Scartaglen album way back in 1984. Going through stuff the other day and ran across the LP and couldn't even remember the tune or having recorded it. I played guitar on this track
This track is from the 1986 Scartaglen album "The Middle Path". The first tune "Jezaig" was composed by Breton musician Gilles Le Bigot. The second tune is one of the "Cantigas de Santa Maria" and is attributed to King Alfonso X of Spain

Congrats!!! You have just won an M.T.C Music award!!! AWARD: Best performance
Ha, dear little soul. That will be a lovely memory in the future.

I love Inge's voice! - so rich. BTW - what guitar do you play - it sounds quite nice. A very good tune you both put together here.

Beautifully told, Kavin.
Hey superstar! I feel especially spoiled having heard this one from you last year!!! Damn, I love that voice of yours. I look forward to making more music with you... Any time you'd like.
...And I have no guess what you might be thinking of, but it makes me think of the oncoming longest night of the year.
Outstanding song, T! So beautifully arranged and cleanly played. As always, I'm so impressed by your acoustic skills. Faved. Faved again if I could.
Ha! First one in. Great work man!
Always good to hear stuff is in the works, Corbin!
Ooooh... Now here's a great track. Great sound, Brett! Edgy pure music at its best. Seriously, this is some kind of excellent.
So this is what equipment check sounds like when you have limitless talent. VERY well done.
Love it! Please never stop digging through old tracks!!!
I have to fave this just for Stephen Krell's outstanding banjo addition to this song from a past RPM album.
Really cool sound... I'd love to hear these tracks without the fuzz and hiss! They hide that magnificent voice!!!
For the record, this song was written specifically with Jim's MTC goodness in mind, so I hear this version as frighteningly incomplete... But it is how it sounds when it's just me at the bonfire, so thanks to those of you who like this version as well.
Faved instantly. So good that y'all were awake at the same time!
First rate hard-driving track.

Damn, man... Always blown away by your professional sound. Music like this is the reason why I haven't bought a commercial album in years. There ain't anything on the radio I'd rather listen to.
I'd be curious to hear how you went about composing this song... It is quite good!
...And back again to listen to this little piece of perfection. Just magnificently played.
Outstanding track!
