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. :)
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!

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....
Ik verlang weer naar de zomer
Alsof hij me iets schuldig is
Een stoel kraakt onder herinneringen
En de tijd die stil blijft staan
Een plastic tafel vol kringen
Van glazen die we al lang vergaten
De lucht hangt laag en zwoel
Alsof hij…
Tom is back! Didn't know this one at all and had to go have a listen to Neil's. You gave this cover more than justice. Very good and hope you share more with us soon.
Reg actually woke up feeling positive this morning. I believe it was due to his sober evening and being in bed by 10 pm . Its a new him for 2026 or is it? let hope so .....Happy New year all x
Today is a beginning
Today is…
It’s nice having our original lead guitarist back for a visit….special thank-you to Keith for his work on Matt’s song.
Lyrics…..
Hey you, little man inside a choo-choo
You do it differently than I do.
Hey man, I hear you’re on a big-plan…
From where I lay I can see the morning sky
The colour of a car mechanic’s rag
He made love so quick. Too quick
Only thing missing was the chequered flag.
I sit up in bed as he mumbles some crap
Post coital cigarette smoke still in the air…
I always hate comparing artists, but will say that I had to go listen to Ricky Lee Jones half-way through this to cure a sudden case of painful nostalgia...then started this one over again. It's brilliantly done as usual.
Hi gang.
The Proods are back....Brian at the helm this time.
Our methodology is thus....one of the 4 of us introduce a song, and then we'll bang out a finished track in under an hour with as few over-dubs as possible. This one we put some effort…
Agree with jimgoodinmusic... Byrds tone sneaks out on the guitar and percussion. Would love to find out who all of your influences are for the band.
In response to your hopefully slightly tongue-in-cheek comment about drum clarity to TonyCee... I always found letting the mics mug the kit like 3" away from everything and then an aggressive high pass filter got everything as clear as possible without muddle. That's exactly what professionals don't do... :D
Anyway, great as always.
wrote this about 10yrs ago ,drums programmed , mixed and mastered , produced , by myself , bass , rthm guitars lead guitar , vocals , backing vocals , by myself , hope you like it , cheers tony cee
To echo everyone else, this one has a great, clear overall sound to it. I would bring that clean guitar up in the break or bridge a smidge.... it's too nice to not get a louder voice! And speaking of which, nice vocals too. Always enjoy your tunes.
The clue is in the title Reg woke up feeling a little disgruntled with the world ....
Screwed up & wary
You say tell me your secrets
but all you’ll hear are my lies
The compromised childhood
remember…
Been busy all week preparing for the winter weather and getting stuff ready for the horses and sheep to see them through winter. But with the torrential rain today i thought a guitar day was to be and this came out…
this is a new song not much to it , all instruments played by myself , drums , programmed ,by myself, vocals and backing vocals by myself, thanks for your time ,cheers tony cee
Getting lost in the maze from time to time is just part of life
The maze of misfortune
I get one step forward and three steps back
Can’t see where I’m going
Lifes so dark and black
Looking ahead seems stupid and pretty…
This one is marvelously cool. The swing-ish notes and drumming are captivatingly disorienting in a great way. The lyrics wind up hitting close to home. I think I am mishearing the line in the chorus as "beneath my anthill parachute," which is fine with me because that's an amazing lyric. :) Great one.
Subdued - adjective: quietened and brought under control
poor old Reg has been told again.....
Subdued
Sky burning bright with that jagged blue
She’s Off to bed with that dinnner for two
She read youlike…
Simpler Days is a ballad by drummer-Matt.
While I was mixing it the words caught me off guard and the song stirred up some emotional stuff that I'm hoping might come through for the wider listening public.
This has a nice country joe groove and feel to it and I love the melody. It would help to share the lyrics they aren't really standing out enough for these old ears... not a criticism just sayin' I'm old. :) Thank you for sharing as always.
This is a song my late-night self apparently left for my morning self to think about. I admit it just keeps gnawing at me, maybe not in a good way.
...
Nineteen, standing by the ocean for the first time
Gazing long at the sea feeling the…
When the rain comes
as it always does
I remember you with me
Under the kissing tree
you fell with me
fell with me
You have been so far
so far from me
across the sea
And when the rain comes
as it always does
I remember you…

I like this one, flows along great.

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 :)
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....

Needed google translate for this one, but it's worth it.
Oldrottenhead sounds suspiciously like Roger Champan... :D Nice cover.

Today is a great day to feel some positivity for the future. Your guitar and keys sound as brilliant as your vocals on this one. Great recording too.
This feels like a T-Rex song. And I really like T-Rex. :D

You've been knocking these out of the park. Again beautiful sound, but more so beautifully intense lyrics that somehow hit close to home again.
This isn't just a great tune, but the guitar and vocals sound clean and beautiful too. Nice one.
Every time you post something new I expect some new, cool cat groove... and you never disappoint.
Dark but beautiful. The piano comes in with the exact feeling the song wove. Really feel this one.

Kept hoping to hear that bluesy harp say hello in this one. Great tune.

This is relaxing and intense at the same time. Great track.
There. Ruined it with drums.
This is fantastically unique and uniquely fantastic. It really draws you in. Beautiful.
I'd love to see a video of this. My brain can't wrap its, well, brain around what's going on. :D
This is haunting, sad, delicate and beautiful.
