Another oldie but goodie (again, apologies for the few seconds of silence it takes to get to the intro). This song is the first that I really tried to record properly, written around Christmastime four or five years ago with my seventh grade…
After writing this song about our newly adopted dog, I asked Kavin if he like to play some slide guitar, knowing that he would come up with something terrific... I just had no idea how terrific.

Another song from the archive... Written about a friend who somehow seemed to come out of her general sad manner... Thoughts go back to a lunar eclipse when the girl I was standing next to to watch it (way back in college) disappeared from sight…

After listening to Brian's beautiful guitar piece "Mellow," Brian was kind enough to allow me to sing along...
Never saw you coming
Down my lonely road
I never saw you coming
Can't be sure you'll never go
I know you'll be leaving
But I keep believing…

this is very nice,, listening to you,, i am struck by the thought that id love to hear this live,, it's the sort of piece that no matter how good the recording is it must pale compared to a live hearing,,, who ever gets to hear you practice and such is very lucky

"You gotta put your pencil to the paper. Don't bother with the intricate chords. Hell it doesn't matter if the damned thing doesn't rhyme. Write it down. Run it through. Make some noise." These were actually the first words I wrote when…
All right, so one of those silly songs needed to find its way onto the album. In an effort to teach the students on my middle school team about rhythm in poetry, I wrote this little bit of foolishness about a fictional character (so yes, you…
Just updating all the songs from "Keeping Constant Motion" with versions that have the vocals a bit more up front... Just had to favorite this one. Of all the songs I've ever written, this one and "Amy Pond" are the most requested... Just goes to show that silliness in songwriting often speaks to people more than seriousness.

DREAMS OF THE OCEAN
Your kids'll be waking up in the morning
Just a couple of hours after mine have gone to bed
I've got the coffee warming
While dreams of the ocean are in your daughters' heads
I taught them all 'bout it late last evening…

A song written for a great girl who'll be getting married next year...
"You'll always be this young if love comes first
And you stay filled with life."
For Someone extremely special.
And for those that it might help.
Thanks to Dave Purssord for Playing Lead for me.
Thanks to St Mary’s for allowing me to record this live in the Church.
And Thanks to all you all here.
Peace

Some Say…
I sent the tracks for this tune to a friend of mine who owns a professional studio. I gave him no instructions on how to mix it, as I wanted someone else's take on the music. He created a very dry, intimate mix, focusing more on the acoustic guitars…
I needed a place to host a work in progress where it wouldn't be obvious so you might have found a secret mix!!!
So that 4 minute song with the slide guitar that no-one listens to is gone ;-)
This weekend I was thinking about artists that I used to enjoy listening to in highschool. Toad the Wet Sprocket came to mind, and I thought it would be fun to cover one of their songs. I've always liked "Pray Your Gods" - even though the chorus…
Landry/Garn
When I sent this song off to Jim, he sent back tracks for a second rhythm guitar, lead guitar, and drums. Bass soon followed, and Kavin's slide dropped in nicely. Just thought I'd let y'all have a listen to what came back to me…
My first acrostic prompt, requiring the word "Hope" to be spelled out by the first letter of the lines. Found in the chorus:
Hands don't fail me now
Oh, just a little tighter
Please hold on, hold on to

The second of two versions of Keith Landry's great song.
Listen to the original [here](http://alonetone.com/keithlandryacoustic/tracks/as-the-train-rolls-through).
Oh, and I might like this one even more... Such a great edgy counterpart (and harmonies, no less) to such a fun little ditty.
Get down with your bad folky self.

Maybe I missed a career scoring for no budget spaghetti westerns, because this is what this reminds me of. Done live a couple weeks ago with the Taylor and a floor full of toys and loopers.
Just downloaded the whole album... I'll be putting in in slot one of the CD changer for the ride out to Portsmouth... Then hitting repeat over and over and over...
Comments on Keith Landry's stuff
Beautiful song all the way around.
Great song and collab. All but one of my dogs are rescue dogs, good man! I really dig your voice, Keith.
I finally have some time to do some Alonetone listening. Glad I didn't miss this one.
Yes, I agree with the others. Very nice!
yes, great lyrics. I agree with Richard, this would have a good feel as a live performance.
What a great collaboration! Just a beautiful song.
nice sweet song Keith!
Gorgeous song Keith!
Awesome back story - you cannot hide your romantic side, and I'm glad you don't try. :-) Lovely song, Keith. Very sweet.
What an interesting story, I wonder if the lady in question would recognise herself now. And a great song too.
this is very nice,, listening to you,, i am struck by the thought that id love to hear this live,, it's the sort of piece that no matter how good the recording is it must pale compared to a live hearing,,, who ever gets to hear you practice and such is very lucky
Thanks for the kind words!
One, two, three, four, yeah .... I love it when you guys do that! Oh yes, this is a great track. Kavin's spot on too!
All right... So I closed the album with the fun songs (note to self... next time START the album with the fun songs).

You and Kavin nail this one! Thanks for the comments!
I like this song a lot. Love the concept, your vocals, etc etc. And I'm green with envy that I didn't think of it! Well done. ER
How can I not fave a song about pick-up trucks, kids climbing on the dog, and leaving Memphis. And with slide guitar to boot.
great song,, and really great collab
Ah, I thought you wrote it for your daughters. :-( Still gorgeous though!

I definitely need to return to this playlist when I have the time.
I need to do more writing and recording in churches. This is outstanding, T.
Man, how have I missed out on this track for three years? Outstanding guitar work, Colin.
Oh, and this is just amazing.
This is sooooooo good. Quick thanks to Kavin for bringing my attention back to this Kirk Lynch masterpiece.
Faved INSTANTLY!
Man, I wish I knew how to ramble so well without ever having a note out of place. Beautiful track!
GREAT track!
For Jim's mix (and some drums by Norm (how many hands does that guy have?!?!) head on over here: http://alonetone.com/mtcband/tracks/over-the-embers
Verrrrrrry cool!
Damn, I wish I could paint pictures like this.
Love the rough chunkiness of the guitar counterpointed by the sweet harmonies and outstanding lyrics (both of which are ALWAYS amazing).
Ha! First one in! Keep posting these great tracks from past years!
Great song... Especially the bridge... Damn, I love that voice.
Wow. What a sound. T, this is brilliant.
Oh, and I might like this one even more... Such a great edgy counterpart (and harmonies, no less) to such a fun little ditty. Get down with your bad folky self.
Man, you are the best.
Verrrrrry cool sounds, Kavin! Always amazed by what you'll come up with next.
Oh, this is just silly good.
