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.

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?

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…

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…

A nice ethereal quality to this. Well done!
Liking those Lyrics......
Thank you M. Bear. IAA

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..

Sounds like your fingers were stretch to the max in order to reach a few of those notes!

Right on!
Very interesting lyrics! I dig all the vocal tracks and how they work together. The pitch perfection is remarkable!
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.
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.
