This is a great tune. Guitar tone is as Mr(Ms.[?]) launched said, "enviable," and that at the very least. Vocal tonalities are exquisite and absolutely appropriate for the tune. In my own extremely humble and unsolicited opinion, I think that the vox could "sit" a bit more comfortably with this damn-near-perfectly-recorded acoustic guitar. Perhaps bump up the vox a smidge and send both tracks to an almost inaudible, warm, and very tight plate reverb? Don't listen to me. Great tune and great production!
The verses in this song alternate being about my best friend when I was a little kid, and my best friend at the time I wrote it. I thought it was brave and artsy at the time. Then I grew up. :)
I was drinking one night -- that's how most of my stories start -- thinking about somebody I used to love. This is raw, no effects, recorded on a single mic.

good song. Question, though. How many more are you going to upload, because I would love to upload something and not have it disappear from this list 3 minutes later....
An ambient guitar piece done rather quickly, warts and all.
Stems from ideas I've been developing on my new JamMan looper pedal (catnip for guitarists if there ever was such a thing).
This is my first musical expedition into the midi keyboard. Having never played the piano its a fun learning experience. Thanks to Norm for lending me Stinkbug!
We Didn't Get Time to do this in Norway.
Geir put down great the Guitars.
I took the Vox and Lyrics...

Agree with Bethan, too. Harmonies are top-notch, the melody and vocals keep complete focus, the big sound at 2:10 and then the piano, at the end, that seems to just sort of dance away into the distance.... this is one of the best on alonetone.
This is a rough mix of a track I did with the one & only Norm Harris. I've got some vocals in mind, but it may take some time to put it together, so meanwhile here's the instrumental version. Big thanks & major props to Norm…
When I stepped into that night I felt at home for the very first time in a long, long time. When I stepped into that street I felt complete for the very first time in a long, long time. I didn't wonder where you'd been all day. Or maybe I did…
I went to Norway recently to meet Geir and Jim and Mike for a Weekend of Music.

I swore that I would NEVER upload this. Was having a bad day trying to loop "nice" acoustic guitar sounds and got frustrated so grabbed my Taylor and plugged it into a cheesy Effects box and straight into the looper. Started twiddling knobs and…
Awesome, I wish I had more time these days to keep up with everyone. This one was beautiful, tender. I wish the vocals were just a bit higher in the mix... my ears aren't very good. :D
For those I call my friends....

hilarious album cover
great cover..love the punk rock feel
Enviable guitar tone. I want that sound.
The guitar and vox are a deadly weapon here! Great tune.
Fantastic song. Recorded very well.
well, thank you! That was a song I recorded and mastered myself. The other songs I have were recorded professionally =] Thanks again :)

These tracks are all dreamy, relaxing and make you think. I like. Also, the gluMMI Bears album cover deserves mention as being awesome. :)
Cool stuff.
Fantastic stuff.
Another quality tune. Keep it coming!

Is the vocal too low? :(
Awesome!
I'm glad you broke your promise to yourself. Eerie, trance-like awesomeness. I think you may have invented a new style of music... :D

Simple, awesome, perfect. Thanks for sharing.
Very cool... the roughness of it is actually a big plus. More like this! ;)
This song is amazing. I like your whole catalog here -- how long have you been writing and recording?
I think this is the best recording on alonetone.... And, sorry, I will stop uploading old stuff now. :)
