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.
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…

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 metal, though we all tend to swing towards 60’s pop.
It was fun working on this, though I prefer the OTHER 1960’s style…
-Mrs. Groovy Sunshine-
Lyrics…
As the shadows stretch across your dark and lonely room
and your record player fails to chase away your gloom
I want to hold you tight, and tuck you into bed at night
I just hope that you’re alright, and I can…

Tranquil guitar and a voice like a glove wrapped in velvet.
I remember Mrs. Groovy Sunshine from Phys Ed. class. She was quite a beauty in her day and we needed sunglasses to feel comfortable looking at her. Unfortunately, because of the co2 emissions in the atmosphere, over time, she became unbearable and I had to drop her class, much preferring Mrs. Cool'n Cloudy.

This has a nice country joe groove and feel to it and I love the melody. It would help to share the lyrics they aren't really standing out enough for these old ears... not a criticism just sayin' I'm old. :) Thank you for sharing as always.
More groovy vibes from your friends here in Boston!😘
Lyrics-
Emily Cline couldn’t make up her mind
Whether to stay or to leave me behind
She’s etched in my memory permanently
But she couldn’t decide what she felt about me
They say…

Another Proods Rocker from Brian. I love his lead guitar on this one…sort of reminds me of Steely Dan, or some other classic rock tune.
More great stuff on the way….also, be sure to check out our remixed tracks.
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....
Drive Until The Signal Dies
Verse 1
Your Silence…
Steve developed this beautiful track with his ukulele and I added some lyrics to make a "positive message" song for the times we are in.... Hope it makes you smile too...
It Won’t Be Like This Forever
Sitting here on my front steps
Listening…
A song I made up in retro style, just for a bit of fun ;- ) I used various guitars. It's partly sung in English and some of it in French. I try to do my own mixing, so don't expect too much LOL... Regardless, I hope you enjoy it ! Kind regards…
Its Groundhog Day again......
All day I’m chasing tomorrow
Cause I need Tomorrow to get away from today
But tomorrow becomes just like any another day
It just morphs into today
I don’t know where this life going to
It don’t stick to any…
from the album "the Machine"
such delight to find you
in my mind moving
around my point of view
press escape, there's no return
once you made the choice
it's yours but you can not refuse
whats your game, once you choose
stack the deck…
wrote this song back in 2017 when i had too many thoughts i wanted to express in music, so i wrote a song about having that instead of the thoughts themselves lol...
not 100% how i'd like it to have turned out, but i like it all the same... especially…
(Remastered 22/10/2021)
Okies, so I'm working on some other thing and it's taking a while... drums to do and wotnot. But in the middle of it I'm digging how my Martin acoustic is working out. You probs won't even be able to hear it amongst…
Here's the first of several versions that you'll see from a collaboration across the inter webs started by Greg Connor. He got us together on the Zoom and then look what happened!!!! Music and lyrics collaborated with the talents of Steve Krell…
Looks like I'm a little bit drunk, but hey, I don't care LOL... It's been a while since I've uploaded something, but no excuse now during lockdown time :-) I still don't have proper recording facilities and I'm forever trying to find my way…
Written for the April 2020 RPM mini-challenge. I hoped for an EP and ended up with a single song. The song is largely recorded on a T25 mic I built for Brian of A Beautiful Scene as a means to test the mic. It's pretty solid if you ask me…
Strange Times is an international collaboration between Roger Harris & myself. Roger initiated the idea with the first verse and chorus along with a chord progression. I added the last verse and took some liberty in producing this version…
Um - yeah. There are a few naughty words - many apologies.
This is a bonus track -- unless I can't think of a legitimate track 10. If so, then this is both the highlight and crowning achievement of the album, and I totally intended it to be.

Hey, this is cool. Nice job guys! Also, thank you for giving my makeshift Christmas tune a listen the other day.

I like monster movies. No idea what you’re talking about, but it’s a good mix.
This has a nice country joe groove and feel to it and I love the melody. It would help to share the lyrics they aren't really standing out enough for these old ears... not a criticism just sayin' I'm old. :) Thank you for sharing as always.
Soft and subtle vibe!
Hi Proods! You guys are getting so good at this!!!

Just browsing and this one came up, it's like if the Cranberries and B52's took a trip to the 60's and took a trip
The new stuff sounds great! Sounds like you guys are having a lot of fun.

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.
You’re lyrics hit the nail dead on. Great work!
I like the mix...retro style is a good description. The song itself is great.
Wow! Maybe my new favorite Brett Warren track! Too great, it's kind of a call-back to your earlier songs...in my humble opinion.
cool
This makes me nostalgic for underground 80's music...It's so RICH and imaginative.
I love this....it has a This Mortal Coil vibe, but it's original. Too cool!
A very pleasant surprise! Terrific!
You've caught a Toots Thielman vibe...very cool.
Perfect.
The name itself is BRILLIANT! Creates a mood that lets you know what to expect.
Perfect mood music for me right now!
So excellent!
You have a great voice.
super!
Ein anderes ausgezeichnetes Stück
You should do voice-over work....regular guy roles. GREAT!
I could listen to this for HOURS.
