FOUND IN THE MOVEMENT
She moves in a spinning reminder
A violent link to the past
Don't you dare try to define her
She might not be big, but she's fast
A release of God-given aggression
An arm near her head in defense
Somewhere just short…
Sometimes there's an image you just can't get out of your head. I don't know this girl, but I'm sure she exists.
CALL COLLECT TO GOD
She’s been chasing rainbows with the wind in her hair
Spending years running to the end to find there…
An afternoon on the Saco with Karen always leads to delusions of grandeur. Now where did I leave that eye patch?
SACO RIVER PIRATES
Another Maine sunrise on the not so high seas
Hand me my eyepatch, I’ll help you tie the peg leg to your…
Be careful. She's pretty powerful.
SHE WALKS
She walks on the leaves without making a sound
She walks like she can’t hear the dragons all around
She walks and the sun stays a pace or two behind
She walks with your secrets in the back…
Welcome to my day on the river with Karen, folks.
INTO THE LIGHT (THIS LAZY RIVER)
Take me down to the river
Throw the jackets in the hull of the boat
Let the current deliver
To the bend at the bridge where it’s harder to float
What…

Love is worth a chance, don't you think?
THE ONE THING
Love isn’t always the way it should be
Man, it can pull you right down to your knees
Still it’s the only way you can get free
Take it from me
Love isn’t something that you should…
Yeah, I'm pretty much willing to do anything for you.
ALL OF ME
I always thought that only fools
Could fall for love at first sight
But when I caught you in the corner of my eye
I knew they might’ve had it right
You wouldn’t think a…
Created all in one go with nothing to write on while I walked the Hilton Head beach in the rain last spring, this gentle little song more came through me than from me.
ROLLING ON BY
I had an old soul when I was a young man
Turning my phrases…
Be careful. She's pretty powerful.
SHE WALKS
She walks on the leaves without making a sound
She walks like she can’t hear the dragons all around
She walks and the sun stays a pace or two behind
She walks with your secrets in the back…
You'll tell me when you're ready.
DON’T WORRY ‘BOUT THAT RIGHT NOW
Where have you been is all they’ve been asking
Where are you going is what I’d like to know
Why are you running when nobody’s chasing?
What are you hiding? What can’t…

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

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.

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!
