High 'n Mighty
(t boudreau)
Well look who made it halfway
I truly must be blessed
I made a few mistakes and caught a couple of breaks I guess
And I always do it my way
I make it up as I go along
I think I earned some slack to take a…
Onward
(c maiorano)
The message they send us
Conform or be tortured
If it's left up to us
We can only do wrong
But we'll trust in our fortunes
Progress moves onward
Straight ahead
Immortally strong

Forever Forward
( t boudreau)
They call us the orphans
'Cuz we answer to no one
And every so often
We feel we belong
We carry these torches
Forever Forward

You’ll hear our song
Its a brand new day and a new…
Just Passin’ Thru
(t boudreau)
Take whatever you want from me (babe)
Take all that you need
I need to lighten my load lately
To a certain degree
Tokens only are slowing me down
There’s a lot of luggage in life
Chatter scattered across…
The Long Hard Line
( t boudreau)
I locked myself inside in my mind
Slammed the doors and drew the blinds
I searched my soul to see what i'd find
Purged whatever wasn't mine
There comes a time when we find
We must draw that long hard line…

Home-Made Rock n Roll
( t boudreau)
I want to tell ya about my baby
She does a little kitchen dance
She turns up my heat
And grease's down my sheets
And she can rattle my pots n pans
She can start with a slow simmer
And turn it up…
Gone To Stay
(C Maiorano)
Here at the crossroads, with no ideas
River of time flows, year after year
We change as the wind blows, storm drawing near
The light of our life glows, then disappears
We wrestle with reason, struggle with fear…
The Long Hard Line

Sublime Intervention (nobody cares)
(t boudreau)
I peaked thru a hole in my soul and saw you standing there
Ringing the bell of my heart
I forget where we left and that’s a great place to start
We took a fling on the wing of a wild thing…

Thanksgiving Day
11/28/11
Its cold like November in the autumn of my life
Too far to remember my subtle suicide
And your words came and swept me away
And i woke up on this Thanksgiving Day
I was lost like a child in a secondhand store…
Alone On Christmas
Once upon the end of every year well there
Comes a time when we forget our fears
And a childs face will light up for no reason
Ho ho well it must be Christmas season
Its been so long since i've seen your face it must…

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!
Comments on Orphans's stuff
Killer chorus in this! The whole song is catchy. Songs like a great driving song.
Totally cool tune. I picture this being a great bar sing-along tune.
Dig this track, reminds me of some Rolling Stones stuff.
Love the vocals, dig the guitar. Another fine job!
Cool song,enjoyed your album!
I liked the mix on the vocal. this is very good!
Nice tune. Must have been fun to play? The pith of Springsteen meets Progressive Rock! Tasty guitar too.
Another kick a$$ RPM from you Orphans. I think it will take a few listens on a better sound set-up at home to digest this all. ;)
That is one great riff, catchy as hell
great work on this one, all around good production, drum work, bass, guitar, and vocals. You guys are nailing it.
Damn fine guitar work.
