Travel back with us to 1962…the Place, the shores of the River Mersey.
Umbrella Book is a song about a book….eh, I’m not gonna explain it to y’all.
Slap on a pair of drainies and some Italian heeled boots and you’re on your way to some nostalgic…
Hey gang! It’s us again, The Proods…though there are rumblings in the band that we may be changing our name.
Here’s another track by Brian…channeling his inner Ozzy once again.
It was fun working on this, though I prefer the OTHER 1960’s style…
Yes…we’re TRYING to do an AC~DC thing here.
The song was written by our lovable drummer Matt, but we all had fun working on it. (The Angus-style guitar lick was mine.)
As always, the song is introduced to the band, kicked around and recorded…

-Mrs. Groovy Sunshine-
Lyrics…
As the shadows stretch across your dark and lonely room
and your record player fails to chase away your gloom
I want to hold you tight, and tuck you into bed at night
I just hope that you’re alright, and I can…
This song was written after I had watched a documentary about Jonestown, which featured music from their choir. They were very talented and I couldn't help wondering if any of them had survived. I'd like to think that there were a couple of 'em…

and your record player fails to chase away your gloom

-We’re Full Blooded USAnaian-
Lyrics…
I come from a place called “Amereeca”
Naw, you don’t come from “Amereeca”
I come from a place called “Amereeca”
Naw, you don’t come from “Amereeca”
You come from Usa
You come from Usa
You come from…
Ok, I know that it appears that The Proods have been posting so grim music of late, but this song started out as an homage to one of the Lady-Proods, and just kinda got away from us.
More stuff following….bright, chipper love songs.

We haven't been this excited about a track in a while.
Yeah, we're a little bit angst-y I'm afraid...musically anyway.\A special hello to our Alonetone friends from the grand production days...so glad to see y'all are still making music!

The last couple of years have been soaked in sadness, numbness and loss, and it's not something I've tried to hide, even when making music. But I've come to realize that it's my own responsibility to lay forth the effort to find new happiness…
I sat on the toilet watching tik Tok and instagram as a man does when he's doing his business.I just hoped the knock on the door wouldn't happen till I'd finished...and a song came to me ...they come to me in some strange places…
Well the rain has come after such a lovely day yesterday so it must be time for a sad song
Heading to a lonely night
Its been nothing but a lonely day and
I’m heading to a lonely night
Where the darkness creeps and the dangers…
Two nights ago I dreamed this sad version of Help!
Today I put it down just to see what it sounds like. One mic, one take, one guitar, and one very dry voice.
Not intending to be self-deprecating, but if anyone with actual musical talent…
That something that summer brings along but we quell it, keep it wrapped up tight inside ....
I've got to ramble on
There must be something the night wants to share with me
It wakes me from my dreams when I’m not unaware
It feels…
"Gilligan's Island" was (pick one): (a) the stupidest sitcom ever produced; or (b) a brilliant piece of absurdist theater.
The correct answer may be (a), but if you chose (b), there is a good argument there. No matter what (and despite the number…
Just a little something to take off the chill of the recent polar vortex here in MN. Thanks for listening!!!
ODE to the LAST LEAF
VERSE 1
This season is ending
Last leaf on the tree
When you’re the last leaf
Let go and be free
Free…
Hi Brett...it's been a while, I'm tuning in exclusively to catch up on your BRILLIANT music! Starting with this one....AMAZING. Different from your music that I'm familiar with.
Hi Brett! Thanks for checking in. I've been away too long, trying my hand at other art. My fellow Prood members are itching to do some more music, so maybe soon.
I haven't logged in in a while, and I'm pretty excited to go through all of your tracks I haven't heard yet, so you're sure to hear from me soon.
Rock on!
So thought provoking. I’ve been finding that many of the musicians I follow are composing wistful soundscapes that invoke an emotional response. It’s like the musical world is trying to work its way through some heavy stuff. Well done, sir!
Comments on The Proods's stuff
Just browsing and this one came up, it's like if the Cranberries and B52's took a trip to the 60's and took a trip
The new stuff sounds great! Sounds like you guys are having a lot of fun.
love it reminds me of an early & the mothers excellent
nice tune like it great work ,......cheers tony cee
Certainly captures an early 60's vibe and a nice composition!
Them's some fuzzy guitars - nice work dude... seems like a good mix to me.
Love the Bon Scott duo vocal
Diggin this one! A good dance vibe and yup.... totally love the Gonzo
Yeah, I like Gonzo too.. sounds like a lot of fun. (well done)
Nice….i especially like Gonzo from the Muppets.
This sounds so good very groovy - doors vibes 😊
Love the new stuff, guys
It’s groovy alright, a great 60’s vibe. Mix the Kinks with the Dead and you get YOU!
Hhhhaaaa! Love this!!
Another beauty
Oh those lyrics!!!! Such vitriol mixed with the upbeat tone - delightfully dead but still living indeed! Well done!!!
Heyyy, nice to hear from you all again. Excellent song! It's very robust and autumnal. One of your better tracks (if not best) I think.
🔥
it can be lonely summertime alone
Oh my dear Proods! Such angst! I love this. The melancholy beach vibe is perfect.
Comments made by The Proods
Terrific. It’s funny, how impactful and thought-provoking just a few words can be.
Very nicely done.
Very interesting effect.
Amazing…I’ll ALWAYS come back for y’all.
Good tune…not crazy of the backstory. Oh well.
I love it!!!
This is not at ALL what I was expecting.
Nice….y’know tat ol’ Lennon intended this to be slow. Nice rasp.
Sorry about the trouble in ol’ Blighty! Nice that you can get some jam-time in before the whole mess comes crashing down.😃
Wonderful!
You guys are still the best!
I like your passion!
Hi Colleen, I’m happy that you’re still making music!
I told y'all I'd be back to revisit your music.
Hoorah!
This is perfect ambience!

The Pink Floyd vibe is clear and spot-on. Great track.
