another car/sex metaphor song

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…

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…

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.

Just a midi experiment just for fun.

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…

Be strong, nothing that is good is easy. Even when everyone seems to be telling you to give up, be true to yourself. This song came to me in a dream. In that dream, I was singing a country song. You have to realize, I am, uh, not really a fan…

Another attempt at playing the drums mmmm maybe i should have left them off... THE HURRICANES COMING the storm clouds start gather and surround the rain comes pouring down The hurricanes coming run for cover get out of the way get out…

Bits and Pieces Well That's all from me for awhile. While I'm working on tunes I will be listening.

Nothing beats when the MN songwriters convene. Greg and Colin sure brought some awesome sound to this song at the coffee table to improve the version that I recorded myself earlier this month. It's what I call a TOTAL MAKEOVER. Thanks guys…

Recorded this one as a test track to sync with the video I shot for it. I am not happy with the computer virtual amp guitar sound on this. I will re-record this and mic my amp for that real cranked 100 watt tube sound.
