Someday I'll actually teach myself how to play this song for real... Only a drag-and-drop composition for now, but awfully nice to listen to (particularly the gentle part at around 2:00).
No, this is NOT me playing... Just some arranging of drop and drag samples out of Garageband for Mac I was messing around with while learning how the program worked a few years ago.
Well, this is the hastily written, poorly performed, weakly sung, badly mixed love song I threw together a few years back about the last time I saw the Northern Lights. It happened to be the night I fell in love with my future wife (and knew…
What started as an interesting hiking concept that I contrived for my sister's next trip out "Hey, what if you climbed up Sleeping Beauty Mountain and I climbed up Shelving Rock. We could get out the binoculars and see each other from different…

Great track right from the opening notes. Love the arrangement (that ringing mandolin is perfectly used). A bit more attention to cleanly-hit vocals for the higher notes would have this song radio-ready. GREAT song.
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

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

Wow, brilliant! I don't really understand what Garageband is...is this you playing?
Oh such a beautiful song! I bet she loves it. Fabulous story too, I get the feeling it's all true, and your kids are going to love it. Wonderful!
You do have such a great voice and this is another beautiful track.
A most enjoyable and beautiful love song.
Nice one and you got the girl to. That's great.

Nice one mate very cool. Very nice.
I like this. The guitar playing is excellent, and the lyrics work wonderfully. The vocals are first rate, of course. ER
Excellent collaboration!
So tender and warmhearted. Really a wonderful song.
Magnificent!! First class all the way.
Has an opening flavor of Nick Drake. Great song. Sweet collab
Beautiful! Great additions to the arrangement
Great duet. Nice California style folk.
lovely, touching. A nice song and excellent vocals / lyrics.
That last comment was me. Sorry forgot to log in.
Beautiful great track
Lovely work, Keith. Went with the strings then? Is this the final version?

LOVE that signature Kavin slide!
Damn. How have I missed this playlist for so long?
Faved at 0:08. Perfectly mellow guitar work, with every string perfectly in place.
Outstanding songwriting, performing, and arrangement once again.
Great track right from the opening notes. Love the arrangement (that ringing mandolin is perfectly used). A bit more attention to cleanly-hit vocals for the higher notes would have this song radio-ready. GREAT song.
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.
