Another great tune from good ol' Brian.
Original guitarist Keith is back to sprinkle a little magic on this song, upping the quality to levels that go beyond great...well past my own usual half-assed efforts. It won't be long before they kick…
True story…
It’s sad when the good ones die
enough to make bad ones cry
But everybody seems to be doing their share.
But then again what about you?
Is there nothing you can do…to show a bunch of strangers you really do care.
(Chorus…
Another one for Steve, our amazing bass player….a BIG Planet of the Apes fan.
I never followed Those movies, but he assures me that he’s kept within the bounds of the narrative.

Hi gang.
The Proods are back....Brian at the helm this time.
Our methodology is thus....one of the 4 of us introduce a song, and then we'll bang out a finished track in under an hour with as few over-dubs as possible. This one we put some effort…

It’s nice having our original lead guitarist back for a visit….special thank-you to Keith for his work on Matt’s song.
Lyrics…..
Hey you, little man inside a choo-choo
You do it differently than I do.
Hey man, I hear you’re on a big-plan…

Simpler Days is a ballad by drummer-Matt.
While I was mixing it the words caught me off guard and the song stirred up some emotional stuff that I'm hoping might come through for the wider listening public.

Agree with jimgoodinmusic... Byrds tone sneaks out on the guitar and percussion. Would love to find out who all of your influences are for the band.
In response to your hopefully slightly tongue-in-cheek comment about drum clarity to TonyCee... I always found letting the mics mug the kit like 3" away from everything and then an aggressive high pass filter got everything as clear as possible without muddle. That's exactly what professionals don't do... :D
Anyway, great as always.

Hey gang! It’s us again, The Proods…thousands of followers worldwide!
Here’s another track by Brian…channeling his inner heavy-metal lover….
It was fun working on this, though I prefer the OTHER version that we did. A groovy 1960’s styled version…
Still having fun learning keyboard, and sticking to a determination to never write another sad song. This is just a practice ditty, but it's part of the angry phase of writing which might last a few decades. All of the noise is from the keyboard…
Nice. It's unique, though at the same time it reminds me of the early seventies post-VU New York scene. You're vocal has a Bowie-esque quality that gives the song a bit of gravity.
I'll be here if you decide to make a longer rendition.
(..also, thank you for the kind words on our silly 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…
Comments on The Proods's stuff
Oh that jangle….sounds like 1967! I love the vibe!
Love the rock spin and vocals! 10/10
Rocking!
Wow! This is powerful. I’m not a fan of the planet of the apes either but maybe I should go back and watch.
Nice! Give 'em hell, Steve ! I get to hang out in Sudbury and Framingham. Keep 'em coming boys!!!
Geez, you guys do quite well working within your self imposed limits. Nice :-)
Sounds like it ended on the cutting room floor after a tense debate about what goes on Sabbath Bloody Sabbath! And I love that album. Nice!
Excellent
Quite possibly tied with The Simpsons "Dr. Zaius" as the best Planet of the Apes inspired song ever!
love it! ...Happy New year
This one hits the spot!! A catchy one. Thanks Proods!!
This feels like a T-Rex song. And I really like T-Rex. :D
Hey, this is cool. Nice job guys! Also, thank you for giving my makeshift Christmas tune a listen the other day.
Your music always sounds like you guys are having a GREAT time. Lots of little surprises in this one.
Nice to hear from you, it’s been a long time and you are right … we have enjoyed Alonetone for many years. Happy songwriting!
Always love new music from the Proods! A good rockin dance tune! Very catchy chorus
nice going lads , well worth the listen ......cheers tony cee

Good groove and set of words! Hear influencer of Bruce, Bryds! Thanks for recent kind words on my Guitaristics!
Good sounds.

I prefer THIS vortex to t'other.
You've had TWO Halloween vortices! I don't have anything more to say about it...just wanted to use the word "vortices".
The places that The mind goes....
Ooh. I love it, a lot of stuff going on when I listen with the headphones on!
Super....it's what I'd expect if the other Beatles ended up visiting the Band at Big Pink!

Indeed! Halloween track….no doubt about it.
@ 2:43 & 2:57…..magic.
Cool…. It sure does diverge from how it starts.
Wow. Very well done.
What is this, a FREAK-OUT????😃
Masterful…as always.
Cool….very cool.
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.
