I hope I don't meet Chad the Bad in a dark alley anytime, even though he sounds like a pal in the end... Love that guitar jam! So fun to hear new music from the wonderful Proods! Hope you all are well.
This song is based on the account of a friend, who had a drunken fling with a stranger at a party and regretted it BEFORE she sobered up. The title is a reference to the 1986 movie River's Edge, and the character played by Danyi Deats.
lyrics…
Heyyyy, welcome back. The sound is bright and delightful as always. I gotta say, the retro pop is apparent but never sounds like it's languishing in the past. It's a bubbly optimism that is sorely missing in garage rock.
She wakes across the ocean, and sighs when she discovers...the man who's sleeping with her looks like her last two lovers. No one wants to be a banana head.
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…

This song was recorded with another verse, it ties the song together nicely but who the heck wants to listen to a 5 minute song about depressing stuff? We're really looking forward to feedback from those of you who've like…
The Proods have too many unfinished songs in the hopper...so much going on, but this is something we worked on years ago. I remixed it and finally think it might be passable.

I love this....I was just looking at the weather forecast for Nashville...I'm surprised to see it's just as crummy down there as it is up here in Boston. Well, you've certainly caught MY frame of mind with this improv.
Half my life has settled into
Time to try the things we never
Make your mind up about it
White third eye embroidered on the
Waves wash out the water green and
Serpentine the river bending
And I’ve wasted half the night
Counting cards…
sometimes Reg realises what he truly wants but most of the time he's oblivious ...
All i want is Honest Love
The tangled web is woven with care
The spider doesn’t want you to know its there
It wants to catch you by surpise…
And now He knows.......
And now i know
Long before I knew there was something smoldering anyway
Something you said was real but it was meant as a throw away
decayed inside my mind like a clue
Like a clue of foul play
That…
Reg can be a callous bastard sometimes ......
What you don't know ain't gonna hurt you
Now you know I’m not gonna tell you honestly
About the dreams in my life that never came true
The love of my life that cut me in two
About the…
Remember the cul-de-sac nights
cold beer, a cigarette to share
the creak of our old porch swing
smoke curled like chinese dragons in the air
Chorus
The porch light flickers,
But it’s not lit for me anymore.
I know there’s nothing waiting…
Reg had some terrible news that would break any man ......
How it rains down on me
In the early morning of the 14th April
Two days before the rain
Took the smile from my face to turn it to pain
Taking my smile from my face…
This is the last one. Letting go is not something I am good at, but this is the last one.
--
You could feel your mother and your father scold,
But you only regret what you fail to behold.
After all, it was a once in a lifetime scene…
Brett...I know you don't come around this old site much anymore, but I hope that you at least get this message.
This is one of the BEST songs I've heard on this site. (Yes, better than my previous favorite, Cindy Loveless which is also great!)
Its Christmas Day and the family are finally together even though it's only for the day .....
It's Christmas Day
Christmas Day its finally here
Its been too long a journey now to get us all to appear
We’ve been spread out…
Within hours of being posted, and here I am to dig your music....super song!
One thing I've missed about UK in the eighties, when all the popular groups would do a Chrissy-tune!
So ... While we were picking out names to call our little band to compete with the big boys next summer the name "Prison House Band" came up. After a few laughs it was voted down abruptly but it stirred something inside. Here is my first jail…

This is from Dylan's album Oh Mercy. In spite of an intention to stop posting covers of songs and work on something angry and new, I got to the end of this without messing up the piano and only barely mangling the lyrics, I got too excited and…
Hope the sound is okay ( I know, I suck at that part). Not much into Christmas for various reasons but tried to be at least a little positive and present this to those that might like to hear it. Have a great holiday and share if you'd like.

Hi JC, Fun tune. Do you still have a copy of the movie?

Another good'n. I thought I commented on this before, guess not! Very tight performance, cool bass line and lovely vocals.
Good one, I really like the mix, especially the drums and electric. Melty and retro crunchy!
What a darkly inspiring song! Your ability to combine whimsy and tragic imagery is wonderful!
love it. getting that Beatles roll around..
Capturing the early 60's English beat in their own way! The Proods !
I love it. Good energy.
*applause* The Awesome Proods.
yes, great title and a true Proods tune. Listen to that wonderful reverb sparkling layer of guitar goodness.
This is fun, it's kinda 70's Ray Davies-y... which of course I'm a sucker for.
Been too long man, had to revisit to get some Proods in.
Like the song guys, reminiscent of a 60s sound to me. nice to hear from you again.
Glad to see you're back at it! I enjoy the dreamy flow of it, the flanged/trem guitar is nice and robust.
rockin! now im going around humming this with people looking at me like im crazy.
Hey Joe! Great song. I recognize who it’s about....he would have loved this! Email me a copy of the long version, please!
Well done gang...can't wait to hear the 5 minute version.
Nice fresh sound. I love the tremolo. Been a long time, it's fun to hear a new one.
Love the minor melody lines that sneak up and surprise you... Missed hearing your lovely voices Proods! Another great one!

You again with Neil! Well, again...a cool rendition of a NY tune.
Woo. This is great….it’s like a song that each one of the Beatles might have written after they broke up.
Nice….very nice. Someday I’ll ask you to explain how one might pronounce TwoRegs.
Soulful…..terrific.
The trippy vocal effect is an interesting choice, I like it, it surprised me. Great lyrics.
Another nicely worded song…You’ve nailed it.
Not a NY guy, but this is an excellent interpretation of his stuff.
Very nice.
Beautiful song......hoping for the best for Reg.
Very nice. I admit, it got me in the feelies.

Nice....but ya buried the didjeridoo! Real cool music.
Wow...I love this. It's definitely a track I'll be coming back for.
Within hours of being posted, and here I am to dig your music....super song! One thing I've missed about UK in the eighties, when all the popular groups would do a Chrissy-tune!
It's hard.....for me not as often as it use to be. Still, a great song.
I love it! We'll be seeing you at the next local battle-of-the-bands.
Well done….i’ll have to check out the original, I’ve never heard this one. You shouldn’t curb the covers….it’s ALL better than AI.
There’s still amazing stuff to be found here at this site!😃
You MUST have some Lou Reed music in your collection...this song reminds me of his album New York.
