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…

"...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!
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.

Great job, Roger Dodger!
Interesting lyrics complimenting a bouncing melody. It's a great way to portray frustration.

I had missed this one until it popped up on the "Hot" list. I like it! Far out AND groovy!
Great job, Roger Dodger!

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!
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!
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.
