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....
A Friend of mine (Dave Passourd) is a very talented song writer...
But he never records his stuff....
His songs rest with the memories of those that are lucky enough to get to hear his tunes.
Here is what I remember of a Song that he…
Thank you for the kind comments. I've come back to your catalogue again, and you have so much cool stuff here. I love this. Your playing is impeccable.
I have to admit ... a little strange on the mash ... but your playing is excellent and I love the vocals and tone. Going to have to keep an eye on you!

To have and to hold
These aren't days of wine and roses
For better for worse
These aren't days of wine and roses
For richer for poorer
These aren't days of wine and…
This is a solo piano performance using an M-Audio 88es midi controller, Pianoteq, and a tuning I devised that is based on a harmonic series segment reduced to one octave.

Lyrics by Rat-Hybrids
It's been tough to keep up lately, hope everyone is well.
Something I was working on as part of a larger project. When it's done I'll link it.
"
At the lake we were crawling around
til our knees left bloodstains on the ground
licked our wounds and the pain went away
fell asleep at the end of a day
we dug holes and carved signs into trees
made ourselves a bed out of leaves
and in the…
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...
This is called "Your Heart"
-Your Heart-
Your shout is silent now
It feels I’m missing out
This void is lasting evermore…
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.

Beautifully written and performed song. Oh nice chords.

FN great man. Splendid vocals.

hilarious album cover

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 :)

Beautiful, emotional. Great one.

Relaxing take on insanity... ;) and well done. I like the vocals especially. Good one.
Oh my. That one stirs some emotions for sure.
AHhhhHhhhHHhhh!
I was thinking this sounded like lively Wallflowers song... then I read the description. Silly me. Good track.
Nice playing, great chord movement. I like.
I love everything you've uploaded here, but after listening to them all, this little tune just sticks in my head. Keep up the good work!
Your sound and playing are both bloody brilliant. I love that almost conflicting rhythm in the picking.
Good one; beautiful melody, done well. I'm jealous of the honesty in your voice and your tone. Thanks for sharing.
This makes a pretty nifty sound overall. What do you use for the recording and mixing? Will check the rest out later!
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!
