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…
I got up nice and early this morning thanks to Seb ....so i got the acoustic out and came up with this one ....Don't ask me why....
the innocence of a lie
the reason behind the why
the sigh of regret
at that moment of death
why
why
oh…
Thanks to Robert Palomo for giving this a little sound engineering. Robert said " I mixed thru my mastering plugin (Ozone 5).

If I had a dollar for everything I done
To help you through…
I recon this is my favorite Connor tune thus far. That is some coolacious strumming -- quite nifty in fact. The vocals and harmonica are exceptional. Yeah, this one really does in for me.
Finally, at last... I've got something finished...
Been working on this for a few weeks.
A bit of a rocker... (and an aging lecherous one at that)
I got it as close as I could and then mixed it loud... I've over-cooked it slightly - but…
Brilliant. Great music and awesome lyrics. You're very gifted, very talented. Love the vocals and the mix down/mastering job in particular. You ROCK -- Rock on!
Don't Be Frightened
Don't Be Scared
Think of all those times we shared.
Don't you know we all lose all we ever dared love.
From the window, a view
Of a young me and you
Don't you know we all lose all we ever dared love.
I heard a rumour in…
Jeb Holmes - guitar, Barry Canipe - bass, James Shelton - sax, Matt Williams - organ, Pat Holmes - drums. Recorded in the summer of 2002, it was blazing hot in Raleigh the week we were there. Celebrated Jeb's 15th birthday during recording.
There's a lot of weirdness going on here.
First, King's X has a song on their Dogman album called "Go to Hell". It's 30 seconds long and it's balls to the wall and just when you start to feel the groove it ends. I thought I might try something…
An old one remastered. Thought I'd be posh and call it that !!!! Didn't realize I wrote this 7 years ago, it is a bit of a rant, quietly !!! I apologise in advance if any one is offended by the Lyrics, just my opinion !!!!
Roger, this is Gene Eric Mann, using one of my alternative accounts on AloneTone (4 altogether). Anyway, you've done it again (although this is 7 years old for you, it's new to me). I love the way you write and record -- you've been one of my all-time favorites ever since I found you on ezFolk. This is a great tune. Hey, do you still have a copy of the song about the guy escaped from jail that you did to an instrumental track I composed? I'd dig hearing that one again.
Capo 2 in C
This is a true story. Cody even permitted me to use his name.
Cody is a cowboy, a horseman, that’s for sure
Traded in his guitar for long John underwear
Every day he pulls his boots almost to his knees
Oh, Cody is a cowboy…
This would be a cool sound track for a '60s B-rated Sci-Fi movie about invading 50' tall green Robotic Amazon Martian (RAM) women with ray guns. But really, I'm digging this. I'm at the 6 minute mark and going all the way. Stay groovy!
Collaboration with Freight Drive Reprobates (music) and Darkarma (lyrics).
Don't think it's my best, but it's been hanging around for so long, I needed to get it out so I can move on to the next one :)
Enjoy!
It was about time I got on with musical expression. This song is about our interconnectedness. Our identity. Serious mystic stuff eh? Yeah - wait until you hear it - haha.

Comments on Merry Bear's stuff
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.

Especially dig the choice bass lines, but its all good.
Nice strumming style, interesting chord choices, cool vocal delivery, good lyrics -- an all-around fine composition. Good job -- Rock on!

A great, Classic Rock-style song -- vocals, guitar, lyrics, vocals, everything! Rock on!
Brilliant. Great music and awesome lyrics. You're very gifted, very talented. Love the vocals and the mix down/mastering job in particular. You ROCK -- Rock on!
Interesting -- painting imagery with sounds. Abstract and sur-real, with textured strokes, dark tones, and bitter-sweet flavors. A fuzzy feel. Groovy!
You call it crap, but I like it.
Clever arrangement -- dig! Stay groovy!
Love the music, the vocals, and especially the lyrics -- Rock on!
Good stuff, nice sounds, great talent. Rock on!
Cool! Interesting. Rock on!
I DIG! Freakin' groovy, man! Love it -- Rock the hell on!
Nice bass work! The mix down came out groovy. Great job -- Rock on!

I dig westerns, and I like this music and the way you strum and sang it. But the lyrics, the story told, is quite sad.

Out of the box and a few yards away. Groovy beat. Important message. Not long enough! Rock on!
This one's a really cutie!
Came back via one of my alternative AloneTone accounts to fave the song again -- love it!
VERY GROOVY, VERY COOL!
