HEAR MY FINAL SONG
Most were drinkin', four were playin' cards
Two were dancin', one he played guitar
He was singin' how she broke his heart
Some were smokin', smoke rings filled the air
One was flirtin', playin' with her hair
He was…

APATHY AND GREED
Apathy and greed is in the human seed
"I need more, to Hell with you" we say so well
How we live and play to get us through the day
Til we hear the bell that summons…

MY SPIRIT
Spirit Father in the sky
Mother Earth, they hear my cry
Take my spirit from my mind
Leave the rest of me behind
Feed my ashes to the wind
I will journey back again
When the sky is deepest blue
Know I'm looking down at you…

Happy Sunday Alonetoner's.
I wrote this song yesterday as I had some recent events to ponder.... I hope you like it. Trying for a bit of a bluesy feel. If you'd like to download it and add some background blues bass or guitar, or harmonies…

Life. Death. Missing children. Lost friends. Mentors gone too soon. We all live in a time of grief.

Hope you enjoy the trip. The bass line kept my fingers busy on this more aggressive Psychedelic Folk tune. The poem is actually three crammed into one, all about the same dream.
LAST NIGHT
With a subtle touch
I have said enough

See how they gossip and gabble. From the sidelines, they direct the dance as the young ones grow.

Dancing for dimes, donuts and dollars. From the juke joints to the church halls to the halls of power, still she dances, even as the music grows weary.

Political Folk song, predicting a grim tomorrow, scribed in an esoteric fashion.

Coming into winter time
Seasons changing faster for the demon master

Political Folk. About the sexual hangups and illnesses of our culture because we don’t know how to talk to each other and our kids about sex and agree on what’s right or wrong and where the lines should be drawn.

Lyrically one of my favorites, and actually one of my fave recordings despite the obvious sound quality issues that plagued my early recordings. I think it’s one of my better-composed Psychedelic Folk tunes.
IN THE END

As a warm up for the RPM Challenge I have gotten into the habit of digging up old mostly forgotten songs from my carefree youth and recording new demos. This year seems to be mostly focused on a band I played in between 1997 and 2000. This song…

I wrote this little ditty back in May, did an acoustic demo and then played it to one or two people. I always meant to do something a bit more, er, "expansive" with the thing... So I stuck it in the corner for a bit and forgot about it.
