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…
Beware of those in Argyle clothes with patches on their sleeves
who feel compelled to tell you what you need
And mentoring is a noble thing if that is all you need
even though you know where it could lead.
I was hoping all those lurid stories…
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.

this was born of working on a different more heavy rock/metal project...
and I had this drum track I played from my Tama kit that I got into and built on that...
Shecter Omen bass DI to Zoom L-20 where this was recorded and mixed. Mastered…
This is the old Willie Nelson song that was famously covered by Patsy Cline which, in many ways, made Willie's career happen.
Learning how to play the keys has been a slow, but steady struggle bus. The biggest challenges so far (other than…
more satire. I like the mix of the crazy analog synth (Behringer Poly D) against that aggressive guitar. The bass kind of makes this flow along (Shecter Omen direct to record, no effects). Tama drums. Gamma amp with Boss ME-25 feeding it…
This is a John Prine song.
And it's another cover that means a lot to me. John's songs have a melodic and lyrical beauty that is inimitable. This one, in particular, hit close to home after covid took him from us. I know it's silly, but it…
You've inspired me to look up the originals to all of your covers. This is one I knew upon hearing.
It's a great cover....your spin adds some real feeling that the original didn't express as well.
we've been on this planet supposedly civilised for 300 thousand years and we still keep getting it wrong ....Why? War is not the only answer it just seems to be the first to come to mind..
we keep getting it wrong…
I doubt Ai could ever come up with stuff like this.
Ai is good... I had it do some covers of my music and it was fabulous.. but this ain't Ai... and I don't think Ai could ever come up with me... and I have nothing against the stuff really but…
I recorded some backyard sounds of the melting snow flowing into the gutters, with some chickadees in the background. I layered those two field recordings and faded between them. Synths were from the Deluge's DX7 synth engine. I made an arrangement…
This is about the power that is contained in Uranium and how that power has dominated world thinking and action. It is hard to comprehend that a clump of enriched Uranium, about the size of two mens fists, can propel a 10000 ton ship through…
Comments on The Proods's stuff
What an obvious subject for a fun song so many of us overlooked. Please include the lyric in your "about" section. I want to hear all the words.
Hi Joe and Matt....good song, you've been talking about Jonestown for almost a year! Glad you could find art within the trauma!
So original and different. Like the melody guys. Excellent song!
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

Amazing….absolutely perfect. Wow. I’m jealous of this one. 😃
I love it!
again....you're kinda a genius. and the 90's marketing campaign that kicked up such a fuss. i thought it was excellent.
dammit. It's always a treat listening to your latest tracks...it's definitely time for me to revisit the archives.
i can almost taste the linguiça! nicely done.
great work...you've captured some of Willy's charm.
Wow...another beauty.
Satire? You? This is hilarious!😃
Wow....what a well-orchestrated track. Well done!
Oh yeah....that's a nice groove.

Nice...a moody and soulful cover. Keep 'em coming.
It’s thetworegs’ Give Peace a Chance, with a little bit of Won’t Get Fooled Again sprinkled on top.👍
Woo….jazzy and cool.
Indeed…..wonderfully original, though I disagree about AI. It spawns from Satan’s bumhole.
Real pro quality!
Nice.....made me wish that my chair had a massage feature.
The syncopation is mesmerizing.

Rocking good fun...as well as informative. The guitar work is enviable.
