This is a silly song I wrote 35 years ago for a crush. For some reason today felt like the day to record it.
The way that mountains shape the horizon
The way that lightning lights the sky
The way that ice cream makes you shiver
The way…
If this sounds like it was recorded in a single take on a $7 USB microphone, and then cheesy audacity reverb thrown in, that's because it was.
The old guitar and its player are both on their last legs, but unpacking after a move it beckoned…

Digging through and deleting some old things, found this old thing that felt like it needed a rescue. There's probably a story behind it, but that's long, long forgotten.

Reg just loves watching old films and the one he watched last broke his heart and it was all based non a lie ....
That Poor Mockingbird
they killed the mockingbird
That jury of twelve
they took away the truth to that…
This one is gripping. The echo tail sounds amazing on your vocal as well. And I'm not sure you left the few seconds of silence at the end on purpose, but it fits.
I was listening to Billie Holiday and this idea popped into my head. I think this is more suited for a woman's voice, so I'll re-post when that's recorded.
You’d drop the needle careful
Like it might scare the blues away
Sunday dancing…
Beautiful song. I'm curious what a smoke-aged female (thinking 1930's lounge singer here, complete with cigarette holder and slouch hat) would sound like, but you sound great on this especially on the chorus.
The melody is haunting and addicting. Keep your vocal on it IMO.
used to know your breathing
in the dark beside me
now the nights repeating
all my faults and broken dreams
Chorus
oh-oh-oh-oh
I’m not sure how to begin
oh-oh-oh-oh
when I can’t take and I can’t give
oh-oh-oh-oh
I’m not sure how to…
Sometimes it's impossible to know how to express what true art does to your heart and mind. But everything about this... I hope you know how good this is. This is that kind of art.
Another for the RPM Challenge ...... Reg got broke by three little words
Three little words
She said
I love you
but she lied to me
She told me I was hers
till the end
Those three little words made me lose my way…
You say "We look happy here"
Pointing at a picture frame
My arm around your shoulder
all this happiness, never any pain
Your mom pinned it on the fridge
Called it "perfect finally"
But no one saw you later
yelling "This is killing me…
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…
Comments on Mike Denison (Lumberfork)'s stuff
nice song love the vocals......cheers tony cee
And a nice 90 seconds it was too
Traffic lights, are they those lights that drivers are supposed to stop at when red ? Cool song, harp is a little Dylan/Young-like.
Nice. Liking that it's raw and real. Nice playing.
Enjoying your music! The harmonica is a nice touch.
Nice voice! Always a fav song…
Still sounds good though
hey
great vocal approach
Loving the story and your vocal excellent track
This is some kinda brutal, but cant stop listening thank you for sharing
yep
I love this! Nice acoustic guitar playing. Good story telling. *"Riding my thumb"*
I had to listen again to that intro. Much better now that I know where it's going.
I'll admit, the intro scared me a little but I really enjoyed it after that. It has an ethereal quality. Well Done!
I like it. Got a Beggars Banquet vibe.
pink floyd will always sound good! really like your voice here
nice version man;)
Crazy vox man.
You can't beat a bit of Diamond with a nice cup of tea on a Sunday afternoon..... Great vocal!!..........

This one is really nice. That crying harp is a perfect accompaniment.
Goosebumps and tears. Brilliant again.
Really enjoy this one. It's ... hypnotizing in a way. Lovely.
Needed google translate for this one, but it's worth it.
Oldrottenhead sounds suspiciously like Roger Champan... :D Nice cover.
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.
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.
