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…

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.

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.

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.

well Reg just wanted to express himself this afternoon so he got to it .....
Freedom to exspress
If I’ve got something to say
Well I’m going to say it
If i got something I want to do
Then I’m gonna do it
I believe…
This song was a favorite of a dear friend we lost a year ago. It felt like a good song to practice the piano. This was the first try -- not that it was good, but it just kept getting worse.
The vocals sound distant because they are... the microphone…
I'm not a stickler for pristine recordings....in fact, there are albums that I insist sound BETTER on old vinyl.
This recording is soulful, raw and terrific. Well done.
I did several quick jams in October, and this was my favorite of the set. I built up the beat on the Deluge and played my favorite xd brass preset live (C# Minor).
Reg decided to go busking down on the subway....
On the subway
Stood on the subway playing my music
As the world rushes by
Lost in a world of my own making
I don’t get washed away in the tide
Its lonely out here where…

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.
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...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!

Very nice. Here's hoping you expand on it.....twas a tad brief.
This was not what I was expecting...cool.
Great. Y'all are true Rockers.
Amazing.

Love this.
Definitely makes me wish I had a better keyboard!
Ooh….very nice. I’ll be back to listen to this.
So good!
Wow….soulful.
