One of my personal favorite recordings from the 52 song MYTHOPOETICA demo collection, even though there’s a sound quality issue (the bass had a bit of a buzz). This was my first time using a wammy bar – I liked it!

HEAR MY FINAL SONG
Most were drinkin', four were playin' cards
Two were dancin', one he played guitar
He was singin' how she broke his heart
Some were smokin', smoke rings filled the air
One was flirtin', playin' with her hair
He was…

APATHY AND GREED
Apathy and greed is in the human seed
"I need more, to Hell with you" we say so well
How we live and play to get us through the day
Til we hear the bell that summons…

Trippy...but weirdly affecting. I found that circular blend of sound very moving. Tried to explain it to my 8 year old, but she didn't get it. I love music; sometimes it's just about the feeling - and that you can't explain.

I never meant to be insulting or belittling...your music is certainly more deserving than such a review. You have great things going for you, and I support you in every way.

Hey, thanks for the nice comment on the remix. It didn't turn out exactly as I imagined but that's the way it goes sometimes. I love doing that kind of work, let me know if you have another track you would like me to work on just for the hell of it. Chris

Political Folk song, predicting a grim tomorrow, scribed in an esoteric fashion.
(Coming into) WINTER TIME
Days are getting shorter; days are growing colder
Coming into winter time
Seasons changing faster for the demon master
Coming…
Political Folk. About the sexual hangups and illnesses of our culture because we don’t know how to talk to each other and our kids about sex and agree on what’s right or wrong and where the lines should be drawn.
NO ONE’S BIZ'
Education…
Lyrically one of my favorites, and actually one of my fave recordings despite the obvious sound quality issues that plagued my early recordings. I think it’s one of my better-composed Psychedelic Folk tunes.
IN THE END
Had enough of looking…
Hope you enjoy the trip. The bass line kept my fingers busy on this more aggressive Psychedelic Folk tune. The poem is actually three crammed into one, all about the same dream.
LAST NIGHT
With a subtle touch
I have said enough
But you…
Is this a repost or did I not click on "send" when I commented on this before? well, either way, one of my favorites from you, most especially the lyrics, but for the guitar and vocals too.
I like how you execute them keys, emphasizing here and gently caressing there. Same with your vocals. You put feeling, real emotion, in what you do, in an age when too much of the music being made is flat, mechanical, plastic, and soul-less. Good job. Thanks for being real with the rest of us.

WATER
I was standing there just pumping gas and pissing on my tire
When I dropped my wallet. The situation's dire
I got water on my wallet and water on my shoe
Standing there at half a tank wondering what to do
It's kinda hard to zip…
Nice rift. Classic classic rock sounds. Reminds me of some AC/DC. If you're open to collaboration, there are plenty of talented, friendly artist on Alonetone who'd be happy to add some vocals and some mean, upfront lead guitar to this. But Bon Scott and Angus Young is all this fine track is lacking.
As for playing God, "I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together." ~ John Lennon -- Groovy lyric, righteous vocals, fabulous music. ROCK ON!
IF
If your heart must be broken
let it be by beauty
If in tears you be soakin'
let it be by music
If your silence must be ended
let it be by laughter
If your love must say good-bye
let it be in death
If your pockets must be empty…
This is really beautiful. It moves me. You do John sweet justice, and that means so much to me -- I loved the man and can appreciate your part in keeping his music fresh, new, and alive.
I’m not only Gene Eric Mann on Alonetone, but also Justin Otter Guy, Merry Bear, and Nightmoth. I hadn’t noted before your compliment here regarding my version of Runaway. Thank you for that. But you did a great job with this number. That middle KB break is tricky and takes some agile, dexterous fingers to execute properly, and you pulled it of nicely.
This is the extended version of the 35 second original...
Guitars and drums are so
helpful when one wants to express
despair and confusion
and despair....and confusion.

The music speaks the anger and the pain. You've got mad skills at using music to express your feelings. I'm sure in its own way the creations are also healing.

Interesting song lyrics.
Nice guitar and atmosphere on thisun.
Very cool song, love the feel...Great job!
Nice Johnny Cash feel! Love it! Keep up the good tunes! Thx for the kind words :-)
Slinky and very cool. Loving your late night gravelly vox...
Oosh! A touch of Elvis Costello in your tone here? Very cool.
Fabulous premise - and a wonderful collaboration, guys.
Trippy...but weirdly affecting. I found that circular blend of sound very moving. Tried to explain it to my 8 year old, but she didn't get it. I love music; sometimes it's just about the feeling - and that you can't explain.
Excellent!
Suzy Creamcheese alive and well in 2015? I just had some sort of weird flashback to a college FM station around 3 a.m.

good message and reminder!
There's that ending thunder again!
Had to listen twice. I love the tone you have on the guitar......
Very catchy my brother. Nice.
I rather like this.

Bwahaha! What a tale. Damn. Rock on, James.
You are a fountain of gorgeous compositions, ever flowing with sweet, refreshing sounds.
You got a mean, down-low dirty way with that guitar -- and that's how I like it.
I came back. That makes this a hit! ;)
Hot, groovy jam! Choice and tasty. Dig!

This is sooooo good -- I'm going for a second hit!
Cool vocals, sweet music, groovy lyrics.
These are particularly intelligent lyrics!
Oh, I somehow missed this one. Great job! You sure can tickle them keys!
Sweet -- groovy sounds, great execution.
