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.
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…
"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.

This is the last one. Letting go is not something I am good at, but this is the last one.

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…

Time to roll the dice, And spin the spinner.
Keep playing cards ‘til there’s a winner.
Players are gathered And the board is set.
Lay down your money To…
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.
It was 3 degrees this morning and with a new/used dulcimer in the house, well, the only thing to do is write a song.

It's nice the way this old ghost-ship of a website comes alive any time you post a song....reminds me of the old days, when this place was a real nice musical community.
The song is another good one, too.
This was an attempt at using the keyboard to make an instrumental invoking looking for something, thinking it had been found, then finally finding it. Or, put another way, this was a way to practice piano.
Hello Mike. Thank you for the tips on miking a kit, tips that I’ll definitely take into consideration.
As far as your inquiry of our influences, we’re three dudes who have all been in bands both together and otherwise since the 1980’s. Our influences are all over the place, but I’d say that pop music from the 1960’s looms large with all of us…me especially. Almost all of my tunes are straight-up attempts at capturing that groovy vibe….anything that the Wrecking Crew worked on, as well as the mop-tops.
I’m a genuine fan of your stuff, so please keep ‘em coming.
wrote this about 10yrs ago ,drums programmed , mixed and mastered , produced , by myself , bass , rthm guitars lead guitar , vocals , backing vocals , by myself , hope you like it , cheers tony cee
Good job. It's so clear.....I've been trying to get that clean drum sound the a machine creates and wonder if it's even WORTH having a human drummer!
We'll keep him around for the sake of friendship.
Comments on The Proods's stuff
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.
You're guy/girl songs remind me of Nino Tempo & April Stevens. It's kind of an obscure reference, but if you look them up you'll see what I mean.
Hi Heather and Joe, this I a nice one! It's sounds a little bit different from your days at the Middle East. I'd love to see another Prood show! -Jose
Velvet underground is alive!
Lovely piece. enjoyed!
Groovy.
Cool beans. Good song!
Missed a lot of good music on here...great!
Another beauty from the Proods! I love that cool beach party-ish riff underneath the vocals!
Very fun! enjoyed!
Reminds me of the night I was drunk and adrift in a longboat.

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.

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.
Cool...I feel like I'm about to watch an episode of Breaking Bad.
Nice...that's some mighty fine pickin' and singin'.

I love it...it's like the Mamas and Papas.
Sounds like the last tune of a rockin' holiday party, right before they kick everyone out.
That baby notice use to be everywhere.....nice rendition. Oops...whoa, kazoo!???

I can almost imagine what X the Astronaut looks like.
😃Nice!
