Here is my entry for the "Who Knew" Song Writing Challenge. Thanks for including me :)
Lyrics:

When I was a young man
I never knew what it meant
to be undone

This one's a bit of a ponderous beastie.
It can be whatever you want it to be. For me, it's got a lot to do with Sunday 18th June 1815.

Ok, before I go any further, I need to thank Alonetoner Greg Connor. He proposed a song-writing challenge around the theme of "Who Knew" in early/mid December. Many musicians here in the Alonetone community wrote some amazing songs around this…

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 rough cut, but I like it. Here are the lyrics:
TOMORROW WILL BE YOU

There’s no point in looking…

He missed you, and though you failed more often than not, you are welcome back home. And there you have it, in all of it's declarations, to ponder, to think about, to question, to wonder. Sonder.

You gotta have another rocker, because ROCK! And it's all about perspective, and recognizing that sometimes the biggest antagonist in our lives is ourselves.

This all ends, some days are good, some days you are no further than where you first began, or worse. Have faith. The song started life from the verse gtr. It was actually a variation of an idea from 2014. That idea went on to become the song…

I think the lyrics spell it all out. Musically, this is what happens when you mess around with gtr sounds and you play a very basic chord prog while testing out stuff, but for some reason, today, unlike any other day, today that prog sound different…

Do any of us have any idea of what we are doing? Can we ever get it right, and do we understand the importance of blind faith? And again, the antagonist.

Trying, but now I know what a mess I am, and it seems so daunting and unobtainable. I'm not sure I can do this. It sounds NOTHING like I originally thought it might, but I am ok with that.

Now that you know, you have try to be more aware, because it is easy to slip, to stumble, to fall. It's even harder once you are aware. And year after year...antagonist...

Full of promise, fresh, new, worries are far away but still potentially seeping in. The antagonist is never far. The song began it's life when I was messing around with some Wurly and Rhodes sounds. The riff was almost an accident, and has been…

Things are great, but then the doubt explodes into technicolor fear. Stoicism can't defeat reality, or is it awareness? And still the antagonist is there. Hard to know.... Another TV-time riff (I hardly watch it, but when I do, I always have a…

Don't tell me how it is, I'm good, I got it, I got it. But are we blind, and are there cracks in a facade? The riff was what came first, probably while watching the idiot box one evening. I am pretty sure it came very soon after RPM '15, and I…

A song about being self-centered, it needed to be full of angst and antagonism, but also needed the glimmer of something bigger still. Already people have sent me notes, which I am grateful for, but everyone seems to misinterpret the meaning of…

This song is meant to be the intro, set the stage, and talk about the direction of the album. The riff came to me while I was absent-mindedly noodling on my gtr in front of the idiot box one day. I knew at that point I had an album opener of a…
