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…
MID SUMMER
A mid-Summer's night's dream
The days are slipping by
Amid the rushing stream
I take the time to cry
The end is hurling near
I stand with open arms
I sing the tunes I hear
While falling for her charms
She is why I'm…
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…

For battered wings, they will not…

Oops, guess I wasn't logged in before. I must have used all brain cells recording the song. Anyway, I had a lot of fun with this, and as you said, we've all been friends for a long time.
Remember Terry's radio station? It's been a lot of enjoyment.

I'm getting a real kick out of everyone's contribution to this number. I've always appreciated Steve's sweet picking skills, Greg's sweet vocals, and Terry's not-so-sweet, serious, in-your-face way with lyrics. I've been wanting a recording featuring the 4 of us for like 7 years now. I'm so tickled that it's finally happened. Hopefully now that the horsemen have come together, this doesn't lead to the Apocalypse! Thanks, guys -- y'all did awesome!

"...I have not left this cave for days now, it has become my last refuge in my total despair. I have only the music of the waterfall to comfort me now. I can no longer live under the control of the Federation, but there is no other place to go. My last hope is that with my death I may pass into the world of my dream, and know peace at last."
You have strung together quite nicely some colorful, tasty sounds - an outside-the-box composition. Original and innovative. You've got a sharp noodle -- I like how your mind works. Very entertaining!
I heard the piano cover of this by Eduardo Liscano and I could hear the bass and guitar parts it needed immediately. I asked Eduardo if he would mind if I recorded the bass and guitar parts I envisioned. He agreed and this beautiful piece is the…
Of all the genres I love, from Sea Shanties to Heavy Metal, it's Da Blues that reach me the most, and I really appreciate an artist with a good handle on his axe, and there you are -- good job! I'm feelin' ya, brother! Rock on!

Rock on!
Great lead guitar work!
Great job at panning and mixing!
Wow!
Interesting effects employed here, creating a pleasant, ambient atmosphere. Entertaining, intriguing.
Adventurous, and quite entertaining.
Good songwriting, cool sounds, nice handle on the axe.
I dig the melody, and what a damn fine handle you have on your axe -- gorgeous!

Your a master not only of the keyboard but the fret board as well! Delightful!
You envision quite nicely!

This is a great mix down. It's an echo of -- to me, anyway -- "One of These Days" by Pink Floyd. Man, I'm thrilled you're here with us on AloneTone.
