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.

Thank you for sharing

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

That is all I leave behind me

Hope I find a way
To kiss you every day

EARTH
Humanity, you're blowing this

Insanity to wipe us out

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
oh…
Thanks to Robert Palomo for giving this a little sound engineering. Robert said " I mixed thru my mastering plugin (Ozone 5).

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.

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.

Great job guys
I should be dancing.smile

A nice ethereal quality to this. Well done!
Liking those Lyrics......
Thank you M. Bear. IAA
Hi Merry Bear, wanted to check out what you have just done, looks great It's has a great what to use rhythm. Very great words as well Thank you for sharing Sally Bethea Holt
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..
Comments made by Merry Bear
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.
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!
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!
