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.

"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.

(Song 4)
Hair net tossed on the table
Name tag still pinned to my shirt
Work boots wait on the front step
but they might walk out on me too
I've got no one left to care for
No one left to hear my prayer
Talking to the kitchen window…
(Song 3 this year)
When you're younger,
you're everything or so it seems
Then you start becoming a ghost in the years between
People say things about you like
"He was always so nice"
"Such a good guy" , "Such a shame"
or " he always…
You were here then you were gone
Crystal black in morning cold
Hand too tired to touch the earth
Or stars above Moravia
Born under a silent moon
At your feet the hens and mules
Bay and cry, I know they do
Here I am, and where are you…
I love this....I was just looking at the weather forecast for Nashville...I'm surprised to see it's just as crummy down there as it is up here in Boston. Well, you've certainly caught MY frame of mind with this improv.
Half my life has settled into
Time to try the things we never
Make your mind up about it
White third eye embroidered on the
Waves wash out the water green and
Serpentine the river bending
And I’ve wasted half the night
Counting cards…
sometimes Reg realises what he truly wants but most of the time he's oblivious ...
All i want is Honest Love
The tangled web is woven with care
The spider doesn’t want you to know its there
It wants to catch you by surpise…
And now He knows.......
And now i know
Long before I knew there was something smoldering anyway
Something you said was real but it was meant as a throw away
decayed inside my mind like a clue
Like a clue of foul play
That…
Reg can be a callous bastard sometimes ......
What you don't know ain't gonna hurt you
Now you know I’m not gonna tell you honestly
About the dreams in my life that never came true
The love of my life that cut me in two
About the…
Remember the cul-de-sac nights
cold beer, a cigarette to share
the creak of our old porch swing
smoke curled like chinese dragons in the air
Chorus
The porch light flickers,
But it’s not lit for me anymore.
I know there’s nothing waiting…
Reg had some terrible news that would break any man ......
How it rains down on me
In the early morning of the 14th April
Two days before the rain
Took the smile from my face to turn it to pain
Taking my smile from my face…
This is the last one. Letting go is not something I am good at, but this is the last one.

You could feel your mother and your father scold,
But you only regret what you fail to behold.
After all, it was a once in a lifetime scene…
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!
Comments on The Proods's stuff
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 beans. Good song!

I love it...kept waiting for a hook that never came, but I guess that's what made it compelling.
Great lyrics.
Hypnotic....mesmerizing, and aptly named. Great.
It's a beautiful song.....and it speaks to those of us of a certain age. Bravo, Nick.
Wonderful.

You again with Neil! Well, again...a cool rendition of a NY tune.
Woo. This is great….it’s like a song that each one of the Beatles might have written after they broke up.
Nice….very nice. Someday I’ll ask you to explain how one might pronounce TwoRegs.
Soulful…..terrific.
The trippy vocal effect is an interesting choice, I like it, it surprised me. Great lyrics.
Another nicely worded song…You’ve nailed it.
Not a NY guy, but this is an excellent interpretation of his stuff.
Very nice.
Beautiful song......hoping for the best for Reg.
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.
