I gave this a day before I decided to comment...this song is wonderfully disturbing. Your lyrics are simple but clever and they make me want to pick up the guitar and get to work!

Once in a nightmare
I knew you then
I think we were related,
I'm not sure
maybe we were strangers.
We'd look in windows and climb
the trees that grew,
and if it'd rained outside
we'd take off our shoes.
And when I'd see you
I would…
Miles Away is a very simple guitar riff and lyrics that match, but it's a song that came from the heart of one of the band's members. It's kind of a tune about a newly married couple...like most Prood songs it was recorded after one or two rehearsals…
This is a song by our guitarist Keith. He doesn't get a chance to jam with us as much since he moved to New York. He and I had a lot of fun working on this simple tune, and it makes me miss times long gone.

"Castaway of Love" is a song by Brian, one of our guitar players who until now has been shy about sharing his talent. When he told me the title of this song I was expecting a 1920's style megaphone crooner melody, but was happily surprised by…

I remember a long time a go, there was a band called "It's a Beautiful Day". They had a song called "White Bird".
I don't know why, but this song reminds me of that sound. I love it.
Very retro sounding guitar too.

Two Beers Away From Calling You
Another ten o'clock, same beer, same bar.
Same old thoughts of calling you.
We burned that bridge so many times,
crossing it's the last thing I should do.
Your number's still here in my phone,
But I know theres…
Reg just loves watching old films and the one he watched last broke his heart and it was all based non a lie ....
That Poor Mockingbird
they killed the mockingbird
That jury of twelve
they took away the truth to that…
Ok. More covers. This song has always meant something to me. Probably the same thing it meant to David.
Vocal was recorded while playing the piano so it's a bit iffy.
Here's my "super professional studio" for interest and posterity…
Franky's boat is too small for the by's
You could maybe hold a lobster pot
Or a seal for flipper pie
We need to bring in more than this and I'm not gonna lie
Franky's boat is too small for the by's
I'm headed to St. John's
To the teller…
Track four of my RPM 2026 project.
This one is definitely the most sprawling and varied of the compositions, with the highest instrument count. I wanted to tell the story of a road trip journey to get out into nature among the fall colors, which…
Reg went to the cinema last night to see Baz Lurmans Epic and woke up this morning beleaving he was Elvis ....someones got to tell him he's not..... he's started sowing beads onto his boiler-suit and will eat nothing but peanut butter and bacon…
I said there would be four tracks, and now there are. I decided to use everything that I hadn't already used this year, including my old Roland drum machine, bass ukulele, slide guitar, guiro, bongos, and of course my trusty vibraslap.
I'm a madman roaring down this rain-slicked road
Top down, laughing, rain slaps like the hand of God
Left you barefoot, summer-haired, watching me go
Like a beautiful flower I should've picked
a long, long time ago
Pre-Chorus:
You were…
Okay to laugh here, music is supposed to be fun, right? My attempt at writing a jug band style song. Yup, I used a dang kazoo:-/ And some whistling :-) Kind of sounds like a 'chicken' clucking away in this... hmmm. Maybe an ear worm just…
An autobiographical song about my eating habits.

Grab a snack food out of the bag and eat one
Grab another one out of the bag and eat one
Finding out it’s kinda hard to just eat one
Serving size is two…

I've got no monopoly on clever... Especially like, "Is there nothing you believe in that could not withstand a scrutinous review?"
I gave this a day before I decided to comment...this song is wonderfully disturbing. Your lyrics are simple but clever and they make me want to pick up the guitar and get to work!
What an obvious subject for a fun song so many of us overlooked. Please include the lyric in your "about" section. I want to hear all the words.
Hi Joe and Matt....good song, you've been talking about Jonestown for almost a year! Glad you could find art within the trauma!
So original and different. Like the melody guys. Excellent song!
Very creative idea for a song. I think they are all singing from the heavens now.
Now here's a cult Proods classic to be sure! Who knew Jonestown had a choir. Your creativity is awesome as always!
Creepy and funny. Retro feel to it. Love the vocals and guitar.
I'm not gonna lie, I'm jealous of that guitar sound. I mean How ? Wonderful.
Drinking rum on an imagined twisted Disney themed ride. nice !
Very clever and funny! Nice one guys.
Having fun while you make music is what it's all about guys! Love the vocal mix, simple tune but great message and very catchy too!
I like the male/female harmony combo best
Very 60's vibe to this. Great stuff!
Sounds like a 60 song to me. I like it. Groovy!
Like it. Nice song!
Brian should write more....

Love the blend of your vocals on this one. Great song fabulous Proods.
Refreshing . . . . You have a great style.

Ouch! Well, I guess that's how Tom started out.
Damn, man...read the title and couldn't wait to hear this one. I was NOT disappointed.
Great movie, great song.
Live jam? Awesome.
Woo...great groove. What the world needs now is MORE groove!
Genius.
Great vocal
Wow...reminds me of Toasted Heretic, from a long time ago. I'm hooked.
I'm gonna have to come back to give all of your tracks my full attention...so much music, so little time!
Ha! Well, this is a nice treat...and you reminded me of my dad, so extra kudos on that opening.
Ooh...that guitar has a great sound.
Best cover I've EVER heard! I get chills every time.
Ooh...such a bright sounding track!
Ooh...the harmonica was a nice surprise.
Amazing lyrics. Beautiful.
I'm gonna have to come back to give these another go-round.
😂 Wahooo!!!
goddam....perfect, as usual.
Yes! This is what it's all about!
Very cool.
