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.
every moment
each day
searching
for something
someone
to feel
know
care
every face
each friend
rejection
and its too much
too much
too much
to bear
it's been a long
long
time coming
it's a long
long
way home
every moment
each inch of time…
Songs that we love , we love for a reason, mostly personal- to make that experience public means something too. other than that i like your version for many reasons, especially your voice.

I had to give this a listen because it is one of my favorite Cohen songs - although I like the Rufus Wainwright version even better than Cohen's.
Yours is a very interesting interpretation. Something you have to listen to with dedication. It did not grab me immediately - but after a couple of bars you had me. And now I'll hit that heart button thing up there. :)
... again ... for Randy.
Memories of old magazines gathering dust on the shelves with things you never could let go of.
Dirty chess sets hardly touched. Empty bottles of cheap scotch you never could get enough of.
And it's a shameful world…
Leafless trees hung low in the cold.
I saw myself kneel, fall, die all alone.
No pity, no tears, no profound song.
Just gone.
The limbs of the trees broke in the wind.
Worn and old from beckoning, again and again.
But no god came. In the end…

No pity, no tears, no profound song.

The limbs of the trees broke in the wind.

But no god came. In the end…
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…
Reg had an apiphany life is short and getting shorter so get on with it, whatever it is you need to get on with get on and get on with it .....
Get it on
Go get your plan and tear it up
Lets all start again

this song is about 5 yrs old , rythm gtr/ lead gtr/ bassgtr / keyboards instruments / brass / strings / organ / played by myself , vocals / backing vocals/ by myself ,...mixed and mastered by myself ,...thank you for your time ,.....cheers tony cee
Another great tune! The first thing that caught me was the groove. The rhythm guitar providing the backbeat is awesome and as soon as the vocal kicks in, I'm sold.
mixed , mastered , vocals backing vocals , guitar , lead guitar , bass guitar , played by myself , strings, brass played on keyboard , hope you like it , thanks for your time .......cheers tony cee
Yeah, this is really cool. I wouldn't have known how to describe it, but Andrew's description works! It really felt like the drums were going to pull out and then jump into a Ringo backbeat through the chorus, then instead we got the brass filling in that jazzy feeling.
The solo is great too. Keep it up!
Mr. Greene
The most beautiful man I’d ever seen
Our high school teacher Mr. Greene
Little more than a child at seventeen
In love with our teacher Mr. Greene
Immature and so out of touch
Just a silly schoolgirl crush.
Dreamy kid; Duran…
Lessons not, quickly forgotten.
Stable eye, upbuild downtrodden.
Troubled times, lay down often.
Catch the sky, once in a while.
No longer a sound.
Lack of presence feelin' down.
Nothing to put my arms around.
Emptiness is not profound…
I wanted a loose nod to “Just Like Tom Thumb’s Blues”, so I started it in the rain and ended it with returning to someplace I used to live. But then because of Bud Cort I thought the singer should inexplicably die at the end of each verse. This…

Reg was sat below the cliff having a sneaky smoke and he couldn't believe what he was witnessing ......I recorded the acoustic with the mic then added bass then a bit of piano and string then the tele then I decided what the subject would be and…
[Verse 1]
I just got done with a slog
Hard to see with the fog
I try to stay in my log cabin
I recall what’s on the other side
Which is a far off planet
I’m there, I astral project but
I am still where I have been
Back in this damn project…

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.
The song is indeed cute, but the lyrics might need a trigger warning.... :)
I love this jazzy style from you. Great tune even if it hits a bit close to home...
Your tunes still remind me of Daniel Lanois work. Beautiful.

I feel like I just read somebody's diary.... This feels brutally honest and the vocals and instrumentation are spot on. Very nice!
This is a real punch in the gut, in a good way.
Actually kind of Crispen Glover and Howard Hessman too.
You brought two of my favorite humans together for the first time -- Bud Cort and Bob Dylan. If you only had Ruth Gordon going full Yoko....
There is a brutality to this that is uncannily beautiful. It finished playing minutes ago but is still spinning in my head in more ways than one.
Your art feels like a cross between Wesley Willis and poetry. Really interesting.
