Fix me baby, give me a fix
Open up your bag of tricks
Build it up now, lay the bricks
Sugar on top, then stir the mix
All that rhythm…
Orphans were asked to contribute a track to a new 'Halloween Compilation' - released by Whiplash Records - this is our cover of the Coops 'Dwight Fry' - Hope you enjoy!
Higher Spirit (The Only One)
boudreau
There’s a higher spirit
Nothing comes near it
I do declare it’s quite a ride
And the heart will chase it
Egos embrace it
You can’t erase it from your life
And when ya can’t escape the rain clouds…
Outta Sight
boudreau
Flip topping, cherry popping
Never stopping to look inside
Wearin’, tearin’ with power steering
And I’m veering off into the night
I disappear outta sight
Short days in so many ways
I’m amazed I’m not sleeping…
to build a fire
lyrics - boudreau
Music - maiorano/boudreau
to build a fire
there's never a plan
just pure desire
and circumstance
touch two wires
leave spark to chance
she's reaching higher
sit back and watch her dance
she said…
Toms tune, lyrics, vocals, guitars, bass

You Were There
You were there
With yellow flowers in your hair
And the summer air seemed to get us high
The county fair
Was lit up like a caution flare
And it was there…
Tom and Chris’s tune, Toms lyrics, vocals, guitars, bass, mando, banjo, harp and some keys

Poor Mans Paradise
I was born in a thunderstorm
Rolling down highway one
With the poor mans tax upon my back

Why’d You Have To Go
BEEN AROUND FOR MANY YEARS
WASHED AWAY SOME PAINFUL TEARS
MET SOME FRIENDS ALONG THE WAY
SOME STUCK AROUND SOME WENT AWAY
BUT I STILL THINK…
Listening to "Triptones - What Colors You?" while working away in another window... this one jumped out at me as it started... that guitar... brought me over to comment... loving the album so far :) ... you keep playing guys... I'll go back to documenting "Batch Printing - Request" now lol

This song was inspired from all the snowstorms we have been having this winter, another on the way tonight.....I decided to prog it out for this one....prog-rock.....lets bring it back.
great recording here...the kit is captured well - exaggerated in a great way...again that snare is sizzling - envisioning the mic(s) placement...still g moore on guitar...really great stuff...
really pretty vibe here - well played - all parts...including engineering / mastering...sounds great over here...still love that guitar tone - we gotta talk
Lyrics/Vocals - OldRottenHead (over at Soundcrafters.org). Music - Dave Berry. Recorded on Boss BR-1200, Epi Sheraton, Bass, Synth. Drums are played by me on my new Roland HD-1 (I have had it two weeks, timing is a little shaky, bloody hard this…
No more messing about for Reg, this is the one she has long black satin hair the body of an angel, her accent is pure English rose she stands by the bar talking to her friends, she turns Reg catches her eye and smiles a bolt of electricity zaps…
A few months back we had a "Beatlesfest" on songcrafters.org.
I contributed this and Yesterday.
This one's a bit of a departure for me. Not the song itself - it's been one of my favourites ever since I was tiny (I preferred Robin Gibb's…
Electric blues. Recorded 2007. I was learning how to use my DAW and trying to figure out how a one-man-band could get to sound like a bunch of old bluesers in a sweaty bar...

**Rabbit Boy - A A J Russe**
Well she don't mind crying…
A tale of keeping your head above the water, or not...
Recorded Jan-Feb 2011.
I wrote it many years ago, never thought I'd ever do anything with it.
I intended to record this with just an acoustic and my new EDB (electric upright bass…
This song started with just the title. I think unappeasable is a fantastic word.
Unappeasable:
She’s so unappeasable
I don’t think that she’s feasible.
Oh, I’ve tried to be reasonable
but she can’t see my point of view.
She’s blind…
Lyrics:
Pass me a handle of that old time tennessee
It's been a while since I've seen the devil
It's a common mistake to think that I'm a sweet and gentle soul
but give me a chance to change your mind
Cause you have never seen me like…
i like this also...the drums are clangy and sharp, the melody is distant...the voice over is in my face...lo fi and hi fi all at once - we call that 'textures' i guess - nice work!

Oh yeah!!!
Crack some Highlifes and enjoy these jams
Like drinking a beer in front of a campfire.
Fast paced, no lyrics needed.
Clever title! Can't agree with the political message, but it's such a catchy tune.
Great feel good vibe with somber lyrics.
Gritty feel, another shot please bartender!
Love the backwoods feel. Craving the Moonshine.
Excellent!!! I'm clutching my pearls and tapping my foot at the same time.
