Terminal Answer words and music ©2018 J. Cole Whose going to reach you or touch bitter ends? face the defriending. Whose going to rush you with all their demands? A race to the ending. Who do we save? Living on blades. Who do we…

I am happy to post this first rough version of a song I wrote yesterday after a really long creative drought. It cracked me up because I'd woken up with this idea on my mind first thing after watching a stupid TV show the night before where…

Tim Alexander on hype and backing vocals

I liked this one from the very start. It was the second song I started working on this February, and it has stuck with me more than any of the others. It's kinda... swampy... nice little mid tempo groove. The bass isn't cutting through the…

This is a rough cut, but I like it. Here are the lyrics: TOMORROW WILL BE YOU It’s been a long time since I saw you I’m at a loss for words But when I heard the news I went straight to your room There’s no point in looking…

Piano Numbers

This song's going on 32 years old... Some 12 years older than I was when I wrote it!! I borrowed the title from one of my favourite madrigals, The Silver Swan by Orlando Gibbons: "The silver swan who living hath no note, when death approached…

This song is about childhood fear, and the comfort of sharing those fears with a sympathetic friend.

With Big Time Operator, who originally uploaded his awesome music with the offer that anyone can add vocals...too good to miss! Love this music, and had loads of fun wailing. Thanks Chris! Played on BBC Radio Introducing. :) http://alonetone…

We wrote this one in... I wanna say... 1998? Had we ever moved beyond Maria's basement I would have pushed to get this released as a single. I thought it was our best shot at a hit, even if my lyrics were just god awful. The guitars here…

Remixed and remastered for a charity compilation. More details to come. This is the title track to 2011's Sunday Morning Music.

With music written and performed by Aged Machine for the RPM Challenge, 2013. Demo version.

Thinking about and inspired a lot by trees lately. That, and the excellent film Rivers and Tides. Arboreal Drink in the sun Until the day is done Dance with the wind Circle of life has no end Roots into the ground Arms reach up to the…

This is a Phil Keaggy tune. I swiped his original loop and then built my own thing on top of it. Might have been longer, but my volume swell effect keeps slipping out of sync with everything else. May work on it more at a later date

We’re closed now Keep off My land The plains turn to sand That’s what the wire said I hear trains coming Smoke in the sky Lines in the sand That’s what the wire said Ghosts of voices Chant numbers and code Steel lines in the sand…

I went over to Reg's place the other day and he sort of scared me. He was out on his deck, pitching butts and spilling gin that he couldn't afford. He was a mess and had a crazed look in his eyes. I could tell he was ruminating again about…

piano moment #19

From several years ago..

The second word Then from the three. The middle stands out. Second from I. No reason to doubt. Call out loud.... Say it for all you're worth... Pay it the due you would ... If it were gone... Keep it safe, From all of our mistakes. For…

The core of the music is heavily inspired by Joni Mitchell. Its been spinning around for years in my head so hearing this song finally recorded feels good.

Another lyrically-challenged collaboration with jip1965, who sent me a guitar, bongo, percussion track with a recorder playing named, simply, 'Love'. I added the piccolo, crystals and windchimes from my virtual keyboard, renamed it 'What is…

In 2001 my most recent band, Hoss Williams, recorded a four-song demo, and each of the four bandmembers contributed one song to it. This was mine. It's loosely about growing up in the country and being a teenager ripping around in clapped-out…

Original song kind of in response the Pussycat Dolls song. I'd like to dedicate this to Eddie Van Halen, for being such a massive inspiration to a generation. If you're reading this Eddie, thanks. And please don't sue me for stealing your riffs.

This track is actually 99.583333% M.T.C. But, I needed an easy project for July, since I didn't have a lot of time last month. He had published it as a "B-Side" called "Quarter of a 60th Spanish." For fun, I just added a few subtle twists. Probably…

A song of love, loss, and unrelenting hatred for those pin-striped S.O.B.'s. WARNING: You might hear an occasional F-bomb.

Conga improvisation. 4/4 ?bpm

I hope he likes funk. 4/4 200bpm
