yeah... buy gold! and silver! I remember those commercials..
all too well... ah the days of good ole TV...
this is a really good recording.. The vocals really work against those great guitar sounds.
a very good mix for this style... seems perfect to me.
Holy sheets this one is cool. That swingy guitar rhythm and awesome vocals all around. It almost felt like a drum was going to roll in the last few seconds and join the fade out... probably just felt that way when a drummer is writing the song. :D Really enjoyed this.
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…
my life is always better with a song by "The Proods".... I would love to be in a bar watching people while you sing this... especially if the lyrics were up on all the TVs and people were forced to see them...
this is why local recordings cannot be beat by commercial stuff

Lyrics…
I come from a place called “ Am-e-RI-ca”
Naw, you don’t come from “ Am-e-RI-ca”
I come from a place called “ Am-e-RI-ca”
Naw, you don’t come from “ Am-e-RI-ca”
You come from Usa
You come from Usa
You…
We haven't been this excited about a track in a while.
Yeah, we're a little bit angst-y I'm afraid...musically anyway.\A special hello to our Alonetone friends from the grand production days...so glad to see y'all are still making music!
I typed a long comment... and then it changed to the next song and the comment was gone... whoops...
this is legit... I like the music from the era this reps.. I enjoyed seeing your jam room/recording space. Nice mix and I really like that bass at the end... that single note just hits so well.
Okay Man
I thought that I told you
Carrying the weight can be tough
But maybe I was sleeping,
You're a hero wee toro
Gotta plan to handle it all
But maybe you can listen.
Big Man, you don't need nobody else
Amen, you'll just put it…
way cool... I like the 60s feel to this... the drums are so perfect for this style too...
even the way they sound.
the lyrics are old school with a bit more modern flair... back in those days you might get beat up or beat someone up and there was no law suit.. yah just got up and lived on.
nice guitar work and vocals too
Another great tune from good ol' Brian.
Original guitarist Keith is back to sprinkle a little magic on this song, upping the quality to levels that go beyond great...well past my own usual half-assed efforts. It won't be long before they kick…
True story…
It’s sad when the good ones die
enough to make bad ones cry
But everybody seems to be doing their share.
But then again what about you?
Is there nothing you can do…to show a bunch of strangers you really do care.
(Chorus…
Another one for Steve, our amazing bass player….a BIG Planet of the Apes fan.
I never followed Those movies, but he assures me that he’s kept within the bounds of the narrative.

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…

It’s nice having our original lead guitarist back for a visit….special thank-you to Keith for his work on Matt’s song.
Lyrics…..
Hey you, little man inside a choo-choo
You do it differently than I do.
Hey man, I hear you’re on a big-plan…
This is a beautiful emotional song telling the sad story of the singer. It describes the emotions of the singer in a precise way.

I just might be hiding behind your bedroom door
you might find me lying under your bed, down on the floor
You swear you hear the creekin' coming up the stairs
you got your eye on the peep-hole and nobody's there…
This short thing is the earliest guitar composition of mine that I can still remember how to play.
Original composition date unknown, although I'm pretty sure I played this at the old house we used to live in - so composition must have taken…
I really enjoyed listening to your latest batch of music. It brought to to places I wasn't expecting on a work day...melancholy places of my youth. Thank you for that.
This one is still in progress, Jon the guitarist sent me a riff which i stuck together to get a kinda structure...so this is take 1....
I'm gonna kill a Mockingbird
That mockingbird mocks me with your name
I'm still not over you and it's causing…
I really dig the beat poet groove of this tune ...bongos? Far out baby!!! The audio at the end nearly tore me to pieces! If you cats are firin' up the grill, I wanna be there man.

My uncle Jacques introduced me to this music as a young child - he was a huge influence…
Well . . my last (latest) recording. I know it's self indulgent, but I wanted to end my Instrumental Observation recordings with something moving !? I had already sold my bass, so I used a bass/synth patch for the low end and tried to utilize…
Sometimes I hear something so good on this site that it makes me wonder if it's original work...apart from being a cover from a video game that is. This is a terrific rendition of this tune...a bunch of fun.
i’m just a twisted guy whose fallen from paradises sky
i’m curled into a ball
of fury and fire
cause i want
your love
give me give me your love
i’m demanding your love
i’m twisting and turning baby
i cant let it out
i need you…
Using a drum program, I wanted to incorporate the 'horns' from the Roland GR-55 (ala 'Chicago') so I began layering guitars to accompany the 'horns'. This is what I ended up with.

Oh that jangle….sounds like 1967! I love the vibe!
Love the rock spin and vocals! 10/10
Rocking!
Wow! This is powerful. I’m not a fan of the planet of the apes either but maybe I should go back and watch.
Nice! Give 'em hell, Steve ! I get to hang out in Sudbury and Framingham. Keep 'em coming boys!!!
Geez, you guys do quite well working within your self imposed limits. Nice :-)
Sounds like it ended on the cutting room floor after a tense debate about what goes on Sabbath Bloody Sabbath! And I love that album. Nice!
Excellent
Quite possibly tied with The Simpsons "Dr. Zaius" as the best Planet of the Apes inspired song ever!
love it! ...Happy New year

I had to download it to dig it, but it was well worth it. VERY COOL track!
You're on your way!
Wunderbar
Ha Ha! AWESOME!
I had to listen twice! Bitchin'.
I really enjoyed listening to your latest batch of music. It brought to to places I wasn't expecting on a work day...melancholy places of my youth. Thank you for that.
Excellent! You guys are well on your way to filling all of the gaps left by the classic rock gods.
I like the vibe of this track.
I really dig the beat poet groove of this tune ...bongos? Far out baby!!! The audio at the end nearly tore me to pieces! If you cats are firin' up the grill, I wanna be there man.
Cool vibe...
I love LOVE this.
Brilliant!
I like this song very much...I can't wait to listen to the rest of your tracks!
I'm a fan!
Last recording? I hope you mean "most recent" recording.

Yahoo!
Cleared my head...caught me off guard.
Well I never been to Pluto, but I kind of like the music...
Raw and honest. Cool!
