Brighter Side
Lyrics - TB / Music SM, TB
I was at the station
Waiting on a train
To take me all the way to LA
Without a nickel to my name
Woah lazy ticket man
Wont ya please miss my row
Cuz best at most we make to the coast
From there…

You said you wouldn’t, Then you did it
Playful kitten, With a mission
Contradictions, I don’t listen
Too explicit, Here to mention
A pile of twisted wreckage
Always misunderstood
You’ve gone and burned you’re bridges
Now…

I heard a speaker of truth teaching our youth and telling all kinds of lies
So i challenged his lessons asked all kinds of questions and slowly he started opening my mind
Now i’m going down to the riverside
Lord wont…

You’re all alright, I can rest now
Now you’re alright, I can rest
I’ve tried so hard, did my best now
Now you’ve tried hard, did you’re best
My mind’s eye watches from afar
I love you all for all you are…

Theres a time and a place
Theres a sign on the wall
Theres that line on your face
That says you slept after all
Theres a calming inside
That comes before the dawn
We’re all along on this ride

Do you put much thought into sequencing tracks? If not, this is INSPIRED sequencing so far! Love this coming after Brighter Side. DIgging the organ on this one, I'm a sucker for the Hammond sound.

Hello Empathy, can’t ya see that its me hanging out to dry
I’m surprised to see you after all this time
A sip of sympathy may be all that i need to get me by tonight
But those home made remedies only last for a while
Hey Controversy…

You’re all alright, I can rest now

I love you all for all you are…
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!
Home Again
(boudreau)
I was brought up just north of New York City
Where the Merrit greets the Hutch
In a noisy house on a quiet street
Where the neighbors know too much
There's a weekend in spring when they throw out old things
and…
Ocean / Soul

Waves of adoration crash on the rocks of you
The cruel tide drags affections down
Deep below the surface of the cold steel blue
The unsettled sea tries to swallow and drown
Were you a sandy beach, welcoming…
Everyday Heroes
T. Boudreau
What if i told you there were everyday heroes
That walked along side of us all
Holding it together though hell n high water
Always there to answer the call
I’m pretty sure that’s your brother
I’m betting…
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...

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
I really like this song! Reminiscent of “The Band,” but with your own sound!
Love it!!!❤
Nice feel to this punky sound.
Excellent RPM guys :)
Yeah, gotta agree with Keith Landry - this is a bit of stunner. If I was still a smoker I'd be tempted to hold my lighter aloft!
This one makes me think of The Who - haven't listened to them in ages. I can't even put a finger on why it made me think that. Anyway love this one
I love how the different songwriters produce a different sort of song but they all fit on an Orphans album.
Do you put much thought into sequencing tracks? If not, this is INSPIRED sequencing so far! Love this coming after Brighter Side. DIgging the organ on this one, I'm a sucker for the Hammond sound.
Nice one
Well that was faved after 30 seconds! Superb opener.
Well, this track is just spectacular in every way.
