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.

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…
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

This season is ending
Last leaf on the tree
When you’re the last leaf

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!
I kept expecting the chord progressions to go one way and then...ZANG! Caught me off guard every time. Great tune, awesome lyrics. I’ll be back to listen again.
Another tune exhumed from the past... 1984 to be precise. A 15 year-old angst-ridden vocalist wrote some words that went something like "Late at night... the shadows... creep across my wall". Happily, the song is musically much stronger than the…
Do you ever have an idea / song that you just need to get out of you and recorded, even though it's so rough that you'll want to re-do it over and over again? This is one of those for me....

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.
Comments made by The Proods
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.
Love this. Moody and ambiguous…back in the day, this would have made a really cool b-side.
I like the sound of the electric guitar…it reminds me of classic 80’s rock. Your voice sounds great. Another gem!
Great work, man. You continue to amazing me with your gift for creating new sounds within the style that’s all yours.
I kept expecting the chord progressions to go one way and then...ZANG! Caught me off guard every time. Great tune, awesome lyrics. I’ll be back to listen again.
I love this! 1984 was a VERY good year.
I still prefer the simple ones...too great!
Awesome! I've been off the grid for a while now, but I'll ALWAYS come back to hear your AMAZING music! Sorry I didn't check this out sooner, man.
