DREAMING
Inside the dream I'm drowning
I struggle for the shore
I'm swimming 'neath the surface
I'm sinking ever more
While Davy Jones is laughing
And Neptune scoffs at me
I'm swimming on with purpose
I'm frantic to be free
- The…
GOOD-BYE
I don't want to say good-bye
But I have to go
Catch the train that's heading West
Do another show
I don't want to make you cry
There's no other way
Give your weary head a rest
Carry on the day
- Don't know how to say good…
At some point I was thinking about RHCP and that song ringing in me. I'm
Finally catching up on everything I've missed from you and everyone else. This is cool.
MONOLOGUE
I found a hole, it's in the wall
And reaching up, I crawled inside
And to the stars I gave a call
To grant a better place to hide
I cannot leave the hole I found
The chapel for my dark despair
I do not seek to hang around…

Fine lyrics! Interesting mixing technique to have the lead vocals panned to the far right in some parts and then have the overdubbing add a contrasting stereo effect by being panned to the far left! I might steal that some time! ;)
Instrumental fusion of an Asian-flavored pentonic scale with a D minor-based American Blues scale. The Asian scale is an A 5th version of the Koto scale, performed using the Pan Flute setting on a Yamaha E313 KB, while the Blues scale is performed…
WALKING ON THE MOON
See the Earth on horizon
Watch the Earth as she's arising
I hope the living are gazing
I hope the people are loving
Feel like I'm walking on the moon
I think I will be on there soon
My body's going to set me free…
EARTH
Humanity, you're blowing this
Good planets, hard to find
Insanity to wipe us out
To earn another dime
No use it is to build a house
Upon a dying land
We live upon a warming earth
Why don't we understand?
- Unless we govern for…
OK… this might be my fav, lyrically, of yours. i'm right with you. Good tune-age, too. If you want to get fired up, check out what Polymet Mines may be allowed to do in northern Mn, right in the middle of one of the largest freshwater sheds in the world. Unbelievable that it's even being considered. Been to the meetings… its a real possibility.

Very interesting commentary...
And, thank you for listening to my song.
I was at the stockade at Fort Ord in California and then sent to Leavenworth where I ended up at the prison farm running the egg factory.
MAD AND SAD AND SCARED
I just want to get by for a friend
This is not how I would want to end
Mad and sad and scared
In everything I've shared
That is all I leave behind me
This is all I am
Hope I find a way
To kiss you every day
That…

And y'all thought the Hokey Pokey was what it was all about! This song is 4 dimensional – up/down, left/right, in/out, now/then. BIG THANKS to Greg Connor for fabulous vocals…
Interesting -- I like it! Would make for a great background track for a segment of a scary sci-fi movie, like while Earthlings are exploring an abandoned but seemingly haunted alien space-faring vessel.

When you're asleep they may show you
Aerial views of the ground,
Freudian slumber empty of sound.
Over the rooftops and houses,
Lost as it tries to be seen,
Fields of incentive…
THIS IS A SUPER COOL RECORDING! But when I tried to play the video, I got this message: "An error occurred, please try again later." Thought you might like to know.
Hey, man, fab guitaring! This is a slick production. You recorded this well. Love everything that's happening. Very professional mix down. You really know what you're doing. I'm pleasantly surprised.
This track was created as part of the October 2010 Alonetone 24 hr challenge. The challenge is to make 24 minutes of original music in one 24 hour period.

Came up with this chord progression on the bass one day and hit record for the hell of it. Came back to it and decided to throw a quick lil melody over it. I think this is going to close out the "Just a minute?" playlist so I can move on to music…
Unless my math skills have failed me, this is song #50 and 50/90 is complete! WOOHOO!
This song broke my one 50/90 rule... sort of. The rule was that all ideas get used immediately. Nothing gets dropped and everything I try stays. The idea…
No cries
No lies

Why are you still standing on that hill

Well I seem to have a few songs with dreams and oceans in them. But then I do live on the ocean.... and I do dream ... daydream. I bought a cheap yamaha acoustic guitar from a garage sale for $50 and decided to try recording a song with it. I…

Yes, this is my bag. Love the vibe, very cool. Sounds like something you'd hear in Breaking Bad or Better Call Saul, House, etc. I'm impressed!

Almost made it to the wedding ceremony...nice

Groovy and cool as HELL!
Inspired by "The Song That Never Ends," I sang the poem 7 times, for each day of the week, from Tuesday to "Moon"day.
in the spirit of the Wanagi and lower Brule tribe, I say, Go...make it clear and make it last forever. Don't ever let the underlings bring you down.

I am enjoying your music.
Just found this! What a treat!
Ah good old days of the future past !!!! Roger.
Nice one like it
Nice got some potential keep up the good work :)
Great job, Roger Dodger!
Interesting lyrics complimenting a bouncing melody. It's a great way to portray frustration.
Nice one
the finality is nearly palpable. Eco's and shadows, beseech us all.
Pretty dang good
Credit also goes to Greg for the melody.

Sounds like your fingers were stretch to the max in order to reach a few of those notes!
Interesting -- I like it! Would make for a great background track for a segment of a scary sci-fi movie, like while Earthlings are exploring an abandoned but seemingly haunted alien space-faring vessel.
Right on!
Very interesting lyrics! I dig all the vocal tracks and how they work together. The pitch perfection is remarkable!

You sure have a great handle on how to use sounds to entertain and delight the soul!
I've always dug multi-genre fusion, and you've pulled it off nicely. That bass is really happening. Stay groovy!
I dig your sound and style. You're clearly, brilliantly talented. What a great, fabulous production -- excellent! Rock on!
Hey, man, fab guitaring! This is a slick production. You recorded this well. Love everything that's happening. Very professional mix down. You really know what you're doing. I'm pleasantly surprised.
An interesting composition, Sweet vocals, smooth vocals, thoughtful lyrics, nice mix down work.
Too brief -- such choice guitar work needs more room to spread out and engulf the listener's soul.
Nice rift. Trolls -- what a great idea to sing about. Choice lead guitar chops. Rock on!
This was a fun listen!
I dig your approach to keyboard improvisation -- it really works for my. Stay groovy!
A cool collection of sounds, stitched together quite nicely. Good mix down/mastering skills revealed here. Good job!
Great music, good vocals, fabulous lyrics, nice bass run. Digging the message. A brilliant, tasteful anti-war song -- Rock on!
I've been fond of the sound of the cheap Yamaha acoustic since the mid-'70s. Gorgeous mix down -- Rock on!
A mighty tasty groove!
A hauntingly gorgeous composition.
Epic, gorgeous.
