January challenge songwriting fun...
WATER UNDER WATER
So near the surface
So near the end
So near the purpose
Time and again
Just barely breathing
I’ll need you when
I’m floating in the water under water
Holding on loosely
Without letting…
I'm a teacher, a parent of elementary school children, a mental health advocate, and a pacifist. It's been a rough week... But there's still time.
TIME
Time to look in the mirror
Time to say what we believe
Is this the world we want…

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…
Agree with slkrell on this one.
I guess its time to start DL ing for this years x mas playlist
well done, i dont think ive ever gotten past 9 ladies dancing ;)
Demo version of a song I've been messing with.
I know what they're missing... The only girl.
I know what they're missing... The one and only in the world.
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…

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
Everything

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...

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.
