Hi all, I'm back to Alonetone after a long hiatus. I got the urge to record more of my songs. Since my son started playing guitar, I wanted to share with him my music. I just want to show him that music is a wonderful creative outlet to express…

We're bored in lockdown again. I call out for collaboration and Joe Whibley pops out of the aether. And this is what happened. Joe did a fucking fantastic job with most of the work (playing all the instruments and a vocal), I just stuck in some…

I hope Brian (one of us Proods) will forgive me for posting this before we could get together to work on it further. He first played it for me a few months ago and I've been obsessively tweaking it every chance I could get. I like to imagine…

Black is white White is black I crossed the line I can’t go back It all comes together It all falls apart I’m on the edge From the start I’ve gone Colour Blind To her signs, Colour Blind Tears on your face A broken heart Unkind…

(Remastered 22/10/2021) I wrote this one last September. Allison Jane Sixsmith 1965-2016. **** **Forever - A A J Russe** I can see you on your rocking horse now The one that turned around and kicked you in the teeth He thought…

I have no memory of writing or recording this song. I have no idea what it's about. CONNIE'S SONG Em D C B... (Em) Before I knew anything (D) about you, I (C) loved you (Em) Whenever you would show, I stared in (D) wonder I heard you…

C.S. Lewis once wrote about the concept of "out of simple evil comes complex good." These are trying times, an understatement if there ever was one. As you read this, you have uncertainties and fears for what our current situation means for right…

Well it's been a long while (as seems to be the pattern lately) and I was inspired by Greg and Ron's new songs.... Then I saw a lovely note from the Proods saying "I must have been writing during this crazy time" - so I had to respond with something…

Ever been somewhere real spooky ?

First off thanks (MTC) jim for letting me play around with this lovely backing track. i just wish i could of mixed it better i'll have to get the books out and actually read them this time, instead of clicking here and there and hoping for the…

That’s How They Get You Bleeding trails, a map to everywhere you’ve ever been. Seeping in from beyond the boundless fringe, you cannot be sustained, and won’t be washed away. You light an abandoned fire in someone else’s yard. That’s how they…

Son of the Queen Isolating the cross-hatched memories of those starless nights when we searched for light to pour through the wounds we carry around, fashioned after and fawning, we, now downward, fall. A cast-iron bodice over the whimsical has…

A quite 'straight ahead' rock feel to this at the beginning. The Rickenfaker bass has a lovely fat sound to it... Then it gets anthem-like from 2:45 onwards

Higher Spirit (The Only One) boudreau There’s a higher spirit Nothing comes near it I do declare it’s quite a ride And the heart will chase it Egos embrace it You can’t erase it from your life And when ya can’t escape the rain clouds…

Its Coming On boudreau Can't ya feel it start to unwind Can't ya see it or am I just blind Can ya hear it slippin' out of time Do you fear it in the back of your mind I can't shake it I feel it's shaking me I try and break it right across…

Outta Sight boudreau Flip topping, cherry popping Never stopping to look inside Wearin’, tearin’ with power steering And I’m veering off into the night I disappear outta sight Short days in so many ways I’m amazed I’m not sleeping…

The other day I was having problems So I called my son Because he always helps me when I'm in trouble... When the mouse can't see the dongle The cursor is erratic. There's something in the way Move that chair Hmh, maybe I Google it…

A brand new year, a brand new song ....... a Happy New Year to everyone.

Now for something completely different from me .......

Didn't want to write this song … I figured there were one-thousand songwriters (here in north Texas alone) that were stuck at home and writing goofy songs about the virus. But, it wouldn't leave me alone, so I recorded it to get it out of my head.

Nodding your heads is a good thing. Industrial rock

I live in a house with a river running at the bottom of the garden so i wrote a song about it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sz0ygixKAno When I get down by the river and I watch it flow I Wonder where the hell it finally goes Snaking…

Are you scared to wake up? In the same place you laid your head. You scribble on your make up, To pretend your face's not dead. And I know, Yes I know. The opposition shows. Are you afraid to take up? Memoirs of your past. You hang…

I’ve been trailing yarn for days, Ahead of what may come, dismay. Soot, and ash, and bone- Gnarled and undone. I’ve been railing stone for change, Two cents - task on the brain. Root, and clothes, and thrones- Ravaged and unloved…

Another done in Sonic Pi via a Raspberry Pi. I recorded some Brooklyn ambiance this afternoon on errands. Kind of sounds more ghostly than it is, definitely less population out as it should be but this is a walking society so it's a different…
