#RPM Challenge 2015#

Psychedelic Folk. Ever meet that special someone in a laundromat? Ever do it on top the dryer? Either way, you’re sure to dig this clean groove. Compilation by Stephen L. Krell and Gene Eric Mann.

Track 1 for the RPM 2015 album Cold Ground Was My Bed No man is a prophet in his own home No man is a prophet in his own You can do just what you want, in the end you stand alone No man is a prophet in his own Don’t want no cryin’ when…

This is my cover of the Twin Peaks Theme, "Falling." I've always adored the vibe of this series. This is my attempt to capture how it makes me feel. The original has music by Angelo Badalamenti and lyrics by David Lynch. You'll have to be…

This demo recording turned out particularly well, especially when compared to how most of my MYTHOPOETICA recordings sound. The lead guitar employs an Eastern Folk scale and style of picking, greased with GEM-style Blues butter. SUPER YOU…

One of my favorite recordings and favorite songs. The drums of this Political Folk tune was generated with the Yamaha E313. The lead guitar break needs replaced with a violin, but… THE FINAL HOUR Welcome to the final hour Everybody kneel…

One of my better Psych Folk recordings. Intro voice and keyboards by Starry Nightmoth. BG rhythm/drums generated using a Yamaha E313 KB. Lyrics, music and all other instruments and vocals are my fault. BEHOLD THE BREAD (Unleavened) All of…

ONE TIN SOLDIER Listen children to a story That was written long ago 'Bout a kingdom on a mountain And the valley folk below On the mountain was a treasure Buried deep beneath a stone And the valley people swore They'd have it…

My cover of part 6 of 2112 by RUSH.

One of my personal favorite recordings from the 52 song MYTHOPOETICA demo collection, even though there’s a sound quality issue (the bass had a bit of a buzz). This was my first time using a wammy bar – I liked it! PLASTIC GIRL You can’t…

A Blues number, and in the past it’s been one of my more popular songs. We’ll see how it does on AloneTone. MY FAVORITE GUN Pa had left us on the farm Ten long years we raised the corn Then he returned to Mama’s arms To beat the sons…

Not an overall bad recording, and I’m quite pleased with the lyrics of this Psychedelic Folk tune. FUTURE BOUND Should I take the left or should I pass it by zoom? Lost my faith in maps, so how will I decide zoom? Spirits crying to be…

Seven Sisters -- Seven Sisters in the sky known from days gone by Seven Sisters of the drum Seven Sisters seen by night shining ancient light Seven Sisters of days to come

ADAM’S PLAGUE And those not killed by Adam’s Plague Repented not the work at hand Their search for truth was strangely vague They spread their lies across the land They clung to things of stone and wood Which cannot see nor hear…

Have a problem with TV evangelists? You won’t have a problem with this number! This Psych Folk tune features Starry Nightmoth on church organ. The rhythm/drum track was generated using a Yamaha E313 KB, the rest is my fault. COME UNTO ME…

Don't let me down -- Like so many times before I know there'll be so many more Don't let me down Don't let me down I know my enemy by name Survival is a deadly game Don't let me down Don't let me down

When my 'whole morning for recording' turned into 30 minutes, I did this. Beep beep; Driving all over the fucking road. Left right left right doesn't really matter. In n out of lanes in my mitsubishi colt Left right left right doesnt really…

COME TOGETHER Here come old flattop, he come groovin' up slowly He got joo-joo eyeball, he one holy roller He got hair down to his knee Got to be a joker he just do what he please He wear no shoeshine, he got toe-jam football He got…

Starry Nightmoth and I (Gene Eric Mann) labored a few days on this tricky number. We gave it our best shot, but mucho kudos to Del Shannon's keyboardist -- his break rift was amazing! We settled for sort of faking our way through, which was…

Pop Polka style drum beats generated with the Yamaha E313 KB. Keyboards (harmonica setting), acoustic bass, acoustic rhythm guitar, electric guitar, lyrics, and both vocal tracks by Merry Bear (me). WEDDING DAY This is our wedding day And…

with guitar by Michael "Iggy" McAdams They Don't Let Go -- They don't let go no they don't let go you think you'll walk away They don't let go no they don't let go no matter what you pay Don't no they don't no they never let go…

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…

For Gene's challenge. Keeping always in mind the K.I.S.S. principle. (Keep It Simple, Stupid!)

LOSER Did you ever lose your britches Did you ever lose a shoe Did you ever lose that sweater Your best friend gave to you Did you ever lose that girl you held so tenderly Well, let me tell you buddy. You're a lot like me Did you ever…

THERE, I SAID IT The more you got, the more you got to lose From the top of your head down to the bottom of your shoes The things you love. The things you abuse It's enough to give a white boy the blues I said it. There, I said it It might…

I wrote this song in ten minutes after a long road trip.

If she'd just been honest about it online, b4 they met in person, he could have been cool with it... based on a story related to me by a friend, and hopefully it will be taken in the fun spirit in which it is intended and no one is too offended.

I wrote this song as a teen. It still gets me.

I guess you can tell i am from Kentucky. lol

This is the instrumental version of the song. I have poetry to go with it, but I don't sing. I'll get someone to add a vocal track to this soon.

Words and Music by Mel Tillis (no, not by Kenny Rogers -- he covered the tune, he didn't write it).

I Saw It Today -- Dancin' here at the end of the world, we're just dancin' here I saw it today it was there for me, it was there for me to see That's the way it has to be

I always been good at writing love songs. So every body tells me anyway. This is just me and an acoustic guitar.

My have been a little bitter when I wrote this. lol

a Song about Jamming.

I used to hang out there a lot.

This version has better vocals: http://alonetone.com/cavestreet/tracks/turn-a-blind-i-1

On 10/27/2014 I uploaded this re-mastered version, dropping the first half of the vocals by 3dbs. LIGHT MY FIRE by Jim Morrison You know that it would be untrue You know that I would be a liar If I was to say to you Girl, we couldn…
