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…
Just caught this off your acoustic compilation album, Sis - Fabulous tune! The vocals are absolute money - I got a chuckle from your denial of reverb comment, but they truly sound perfect this way.
Awsome songwriting, awesome tune - Love it!
Hiking in Rocky Mountain National Park, the opening melodies to this song found their way into my head... A song of hiking, love, and life... Won't you come with me on the trail?
God this brings me right back to advo. Givin me hope that it'll all be back soon. Don't know about you, but I can't wait for school to start again. See you in 26 days (cuz it's almost midnight).

Some girls have had it far too rough for their very few years.
How old were you when you'd seen enough
How old were you when your hide got tough
Your wounds have scarred
Sometimes they still sting
Close your eyes and hear her sing
Finally, the finishing touches seem to be put on this three-year-old song thanks to some very talented people.
The band is:
Liam (age 13 at the time of recording) on drums
A Girl Named Sam (she's no kid!) with the backing vocals
Genevieve…
"The pictures that she paints while you're keeping time might just make you think again if you don't believe in the divine." Simply, it's a delicate little song appreciating the talents behind a beautifully written and performed song with the…
Inspired by Tess' little Morwenna and my (getting bigger) Jessica. Writing back and forth with Bethan, I came to realize that a song needed to be written about the significance of the statements that so often come from the mouths of babes…
I'm hangin in there. Just the old job...crazy as always. I think I need to change things up so I will have more free time. ;) Good song. Nice clear vocals.

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…

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…
The first recorded version of this song, this little folk song was originally written fifteen or so years ago with just the four chord rhythm guitar and single vocal. The song became what it is today when I needed to write additional verses for…

This is a song I have just recently finished recorded over the summer in my basement using all live recordings of real instruments (intro vocals were recorded literally on a cliffside), and this is the first of more to come. It's a song about…
Sometimes you need to stay up late to try to force yourself to dream.
When I wrote this song (and started singing it a bit), I knew that my voice could never give it what it needed... So I turned it over to one Sister Savage... And she did…

My contribution to the Angie Fights Crime album "Sunny, Sorta..." AFC wrote the lyrics and chords, then gave me free reign to do what I wanted from there.
I tried some very out of character things with the guitar. I think they worked…
I have loopitus. it's contagious so be careful.
I'm having fun with it. Like puking in the toilet and pretending I'm driving a school bus.
It's fun.......
I have dreams of playing this well... No seriously... Just the other night I was playing smooth like this (and sadly awoke to find I am still just a mere mortal). Man, I hope this pre-sets me for some good REM sleep tonight.
Great track, Kavin!
This tune came about by total chance.
I recorded the Backing track during a spare half an hour one night this week ... Just a Noodle...
Met up with Aaron today by total chance and he was up for recording a vocal on it.
He Free-styled the…
Man, you do have some cool neighbors. LOVE Wyen's backing vocals... Perfect counterpoint to the perfect guitar and edgy lead vocal. Very well done, my friend!
So I dropped the guitar into DADGAD tuning for the first time, threw a capo on the third fret, rifled off something nice, and sent it to Movement to Contact for his contribution, got it back, did some mixing...
Here is the result.
YOU NEED…
Added a little more to this nice little change of strumming patterns played as an excuse to write a little love song.
I FOUND LOVE
You know I love you more than I
Ever thought one simple man could
You know I need you more than I
Ever…
Well, screw the metronome, damn the torpedoes, and grab a capo!
Sometimes the best versions are the ones played fast and loose. Hope you enjoy this song adapted from one of my all-time favorite poems (I'm a bit biased since my dad wrote it…

Great to hear more from you, Corbin... Signature voice and guitar! This will be downloaded and in heavy circulation in the Landry vehicles.
So rarely can one create such a rich arrangement with such clean sounds. Beautifully done.
I love when I come across an artist that makes me say, "How have I missed this?!?!?!" Excellent track.
Oh, justice done my friend.
...Now with new and improved final vocal track from Tess!
Tess voice is just too got not to fave it myself.
Damn, this is excellent. This quick improv of yours is simply perfect.
Ha! First one in on this nugget of goodness!
Excellent funky foot-chase scene track! I already feel the illness setting in. "It's fun?" Understatement... Great track.
I have dreams of playing this well... No seriously... Just the other night I was playing smooth like this (and sadly awoke to find I am still just a mere mortal). Man, I hope this pre-sets me for some good REM sleep tonight. Great track, Kavin!
Ha! First one in!
Solid track... This should show up in an indie film soundtrack. Somehow smooth and edgy all rolled into one. Excellent arrangement and performance.
Great arrangement... Very clean and smooth.
Here's another nugget... What a great voice!... And so well played!
Instant fave... How have I missed this song for so long? Off to see what other goodness you have here at Alonetone.
Man, you do have some cool neighbors. LOVE Wyen's backing vocals... Perfect counterpoint to the perfect guitar and edgy lead vocal. Very well done, my friend!
Thanks Rob! Glad you like the stuff... The new CD is currently in the works!
Just messing with some simple added arrangement... It'll probably need some volume work with the extra guitar tracks, but I kinda like the additions.
Yeah I faved it... I reserve the right!... My dad wrote it... It's my favorite poem of his!
Great track... As always!
