Great recreation of early 60's pop sounds, very cool. The only thing that really gives it away is the vocal harmony, not sure why. Maybe it would have been doubled or something, or buried further in the mix.
Reminds me of some Syd Barrett-era Pink Floyd -- back when the were The Pink Floyd and released not LPs but rather 45s like See Emily Play. Very groovy, cool, far out sounds. Thanks for reflecting this juicy era of music!
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.
Another number that reminds me of The Outsiders and The Youngbloods and other bands and songs of the Psychedelic '60s and the reign of the hippies over the music industry in that era. Solid GOLD, man!
Only the 2nd time in my 54 years on the planet that I've heard a song sung from the perspective of one who died in a car crash, so while I can't say it hasn't been done before, it's still rather rare. What I can say is that this one is by far the superior of the two. Great job -- lyrically, vocally, and musically!
I’m on AloneTone as Gene Eric Mann (generic man), Justin Otter Guy (just another guy), Merry Bear, and Nightmoth. I really appreciate that you listened to ALL my Nightmoth recordings – those old children songs are particular horrid numbers, recorded before I knew much about what I was doing. Anyway, I’m here to return as much of the time and ear you lent to me as I can and play your 13 gems.
I already dig “Breakfast” and “Boyfriend” so I’m sure I’ll get a kick from the rest. Your style turns me on and tickles my fancy. Thanks for the listen and always, always, ROCK ON!
A nice mid '60s flavor in the neighborhood of songs like "Time Won't Let Me" and bands like The Outsiders -- the genre I fell for when I got my first radio on my 6th birthday. I really enjoyed this -- Rock on!
THIS IS A SUPER COOL RECORDING! But when I tried to play the video, I got this message: "An error occurred, please try again later." Thought you might like to know.

This song is a improv guitar with some modifications in audacity.

Well here's my contribution to the Pirate challenge from Robert Palomo. I think you'll agree it was time to call it a night on this one, but it was a lot of fun writing and recording it! Hope it gives you a chuckle or two.
Why Do Parrots…
Real psychedelic music, without the corny "trying to be psychedelic" bologna. From 2:20 to the end I was wishing that the song would go on for an hour. I'll be back to listen to this one again, and you can believe me when I say it!
but the girls is around
...
Now you're back in town and you claim that you followed the seam fingertips tight on the dream and slapped with some mission of peace but the girls is around with that hip modern remakin' sound yeah you stole it…
goddammit...you are an ARTIST! The poetry of your lyrics are sharp and fresh. I'm running out of Brett Warren tracks I can still click the little hearts on!
I could not ignore this hypnotic circling guitar riff on my mind keeping me awake endlessly spinning above the drop "D" tuning registers of a complicated web of entangled guitars that are driving atop the very solid bass horizon the tension is…
I decided to keep working on this one a bit on the "keep messing with it" program.... added some backing vocals and some piano.... kind of like where its heading after the one take wonder before... Any other suggestions are very welcome…
or A.K.A. the Caribou Lake song...
I wrote this one for my Dad, who while up at our family cabin in the north woods of MN said there's not enough music about the woods...
My first "one take wonder" - just me and my little Uke - roughing…

I dig how y'all blended, mixed down and mastered the vocal tracks -- fabulous job!
A wee bit of Hawaiian spice sprinkled upon this one -- tasty. Y'all blend superbly, vocally. Loving that Youngbloods-like guitar effect. Beautiful!
Y'all did an amazing, fabulous, exceptional job with this number. Excellent! ROCK ON!

Dig that guitar! Nice effect, sweet picking. Groovy, colorful sounds all around.

Things that go together: lava lamp, tie-dyed shirt, incense smoke, headphones, and music by The Proods!
The folks under 40 between 1964 and 1970 would have ate this song up! A brilliant composition and a delicious production!

I can relate. Nice song.

love that flute...in fact just love it!!
vocals and flute; all kinda fluttery and odd, I like it!
THIS IS A SUPER COOL RECORDING! But when I tried to play the video, I got this message: "An error occurred, please try again later." Thought you might like to know.
This song made me a little sad!
Well done!
And another good one....more Please...

So cool! Another wonderful track that takes me to rooms in my head that have been locked up for years!

Great!
goddammit...you are an ARTIST! The poetry of your lyrics are sharp and fresh. I'm running out of Brett Warren tracks I can still click the little hearts on!
