Terry Brown came up with these dark, hardcore lyrics, asked if I could do anything with them and set them to music. He knows I'm not afraid of going there with a serious, in your face subject matter!

Clever lyricism Merry Bear. Dead pannish and Lyle Lovett like feel and delivery. Thanks for the nice comment earlier and sorry to have to had trashed but reposted as I thought there were glitches in first upload. Appreciate the listen and like this one.
Vocals by Greg Connor, lyrics by Connor and Merry Bear, music by Bear.
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…
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

Terrific. You created the atmosphere that fits your lyrics perfectly. Great song. I was imagining guitar sounds like Roger McGuinn's Ricky or David Gilmour's Strat in a sort of ocean wave sound.

HANDS UP DON'T SHOOT

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…
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?

I had a wish to sing along with Greg, so he offered me a piece of his Cherry Pie to sing along with... I added a few other bits here and there as well. Thanks Greg!!! This was a fun one for me... added some piano and a teeny bit of percussion....
A beautiful, gorgeous song, with a tasty, powerful bass, a cool strumming technique, great vocal delivery, intriguing lyrics, and sweet picking. Far out job, Man -- Rock on!
My friend, George Sluizer was making a film DARK BLOOD with River Phoenix and asked me to submit some music to possibly be used in the movie. He didn’t end up using this but he did use four other of my submissions.

Psychedelic, rich in groovy colors and flavor! My kind of thing. I'm really glad you went there. Alert me if you have anything else like this one in your collection. FAR OUT!
Ambient, building electric guitar instrumental, something like a cross between the late great Gary Moore and some softer stuff by Allan Holdsworth.

A wonderful, delightful, moving compilation of sound. Epic, delicious, colorful, textured. Gripping, effective -- it swirls about you like warm water, then wraps itself about you like a comforting blanket. Bittersweet, choice guitar work near the end.
STRING THEORY
A little playful and teasing sigh
A little twinkle in your eye
You’re a Devil, temptress, I am helpless
In front of you
On and off again
I’m your little plaything
Up and down I go
Puppet on a string
You let me go and…

This song was recorded by my father, Danville Dan the Singing Hobo. I and my son were posthumously added to the original. Even if you already heard it, come by and give this 3 generation number another listen. It was reprocessed today for more reverb and stereo effect.
This is an IDEA or blueprint for the solo of a song I wrote called the same 12 steps. It's just a snippet and it's unmixed but it's just so pretty to me. This was one take on each track (backing/lead) but I think alot of the reason it turned…
The brevity of this makes it perfect for the intro/theme music of a TV show, and the style would suggest a show about family and love and growing up, like "Wonder Years."

Powerful lyrics, man. Something all of humanity should be able to relate to; Buddhist, Christians, atheists, whatever their philosophy and beliefs be about a hereafter. So we're all guilty of silly thoughts sometimes. I'm glad you had the courage to express it in music and poetry for the rest of us.
Wow. The music and lyrics, both heart-breaking-ly sad but so real and true. Good poetry and appropriate music. There's pain there, but it's a beautiful composition nonetheless, and the voice is seriously real. Great job!
With Big Time Operator, who originally uploaded his awesome music with the offer that anyone can add vocals...too good to miss! Love this music, and had loads of fun wailing. Thanks Chris!
Played on BBC Radio Introducing. :)

Dude stole my guitar
so I wrote a song about him...
BICYCLE EDDY
Bicycle Eddy, he rode at night
Had no fenders on his bike
Had a brown streak up the back of his shirt
Eddy don't care. "It's just dirt."
Bicycle Eddy, he slept all day…

A nice ethereal quality to this. Well done!

Like it. Love the lyrics.
And this one too, like it :)
That works in a strangely hypnotic kind of way. Nice one.
Nice change up I really like this Rick
Oh yeah
I really like this.
I can only imagine where the inspiration for this song came from. *Good listening!*
Heavy lyrics...the music reminds me of something the Doors would have tracked...
dig the melody...has a late 50's early 60's vibe..

The music expresses your pain better than any words alone could. I feel your hurt now. Damn, man -- ouch!
I just read the lyrics, and I'm commenting before I hear the music to say, wow, you really have a gift with words.
That banjo in the distance is just too damn cool!
One of the prettiest version of this song I've heard yet! Great job, Colleen!
A beautiful, gorgeous song, with a tasty, powerful bass, a cool strumming technique, great vocal delivery, intriguing lyrics, and sweet picking. Far out job, Man -- Rock on!
I sooooo love this -- great job! Fabulous, really!
Finland is a fabulous nation, Helsinki is a fabulous city, and you are a fabulous composer.
Rock on, Roger!

The multiple vocal tracks works for me. Sultry sax. Intriguing lyrics. Sweet lead guitar break. Choice composition. Rock on!

Exceptional vocal tracks -- sultry and sweet. Great delivery, tasteful, warm, cozy.
Great lyrics, cool story. Well done. Rock on.
