This is a new song that I wrote while I was up in Nebraska. The backstory is that I was a donor match for bone marrow donation. In essence: if someone has leukemia or several other diseases, they sometimes can be cured if a match can be found…
This is my take of a obscure, yet controversial and famous Jackson Browne cover called "The Rebel Jesus." It was recorded in 2011 as part of the Nowhere Advent Project. For more info on that, go to my website- but the song turned out good I think…
You've got some good life in these songs. If your intent was subtle Christian you hit it meaning it comes off in a nice way without seeming pushed down the throat.

New song. Wrote the guitar part first, lyrics came later. This is one of the first songs I've done more than one track on in quite a while, and also one that isn't dark (unusual for me). Anyway, enjoy!

Gene Eric Mann was kind enough to do noise removal for me. The hiss is all gone, which is awesome! The resulting track has an interesting ethereal quality. This might end up being rerecorded at some point, but this is an amazing improvement!
Re-check your e-mail -- there's yet another mix down of this song, with extra rhythm guitar, lead, bass, and BG vocals. I had fun adding myself to your very cool song. You ROCK. Rock on!
This is the rerecording of "I Lose Control." The first recording was using my computer's internal mic, just to get it down. I didn't want to wait until I got home, so I got a cheap $10 mic at a pawn shop with an adapter and ran it straight in…

I've downloaded the file and have already removed the floor noise -- no problem. But I also discovered what is called "over peaking" in the file, and I'll fix that as well. I also noted that your file is mono, rather than in stereo. I'm going to fix that too, plus add some reverb. I'll send you the results shortly and I may also take you up on the invite to add tracks to a 2nd mix down of the file. Meanwhile, Keep on Rockin' in the Free World.

I think I can remove that "floor noise" (as it's called in the sound editing biz) with my Cool Edit Pro software, if you're interested in that. I did the guitar and vocals. Nice rhyming! Rock on!
This is a song about being rescued. There's more to it than that, and I'm not sure where this one came from, but it's a song that is redemptive and not sad. I'm glad that this came out after writing the last one (The Lepers and My Lord) which…
This song is about, loosely, the tendency of certain kinds of people choose to continue to believe things they know to be false out of malice, or, like certain media personalities, they fabricate and perpetuate them for their own benefit. In this…

This is a song about... horses. Actually, since it's Alonetone I'll say what it's really about. Manipulation and control in relationships, plus the general superiority of intrinsic motivation and grace. I recorded this freshly written song with…
At its most surface level, this is a song mostly written from the perspective of a leper. There's a lot more there then that, but you can figure it out on your own if you want to! Enjoy the music!

I like, I like. Makes me wanna buy one of them cowboy hats and go yeehaw on outlanders!
And about your comment on one of my songs - Chikara; I thought that crediting him was unnecessary since almost everyone has heard or read of that poem. It was rather redundant, or so I felt. Thanks again, sir!
This was a write it and record it in one session song challenge that my songwriting friends and I came up with this week. Lions and Lambs was started thinking of spring, but it turned into a song about relationships... as they often do.
Greg…
I dig it. Guitar and voices. Mandolin? Multiple voices. Live recorded maybe? I am envious that you have access to that kind of community locally. Well done.
RPM 2015 Feb. 18 update: I cut a new vocal for this one which is an improvement, but this mix is still not right. Dunno if I'll have time to fix it before the deadline... (This is the full length track as opposed to the truncated version with…
I've been out of touch. Trying to figure things out. A lot of travel, I got back about a week ago and am still trying to get situated. Hope all is well with you and your people. At some point in the near future I will download all of your stuff to my phone and listen to it as I drive to work. That is all except that you will probably hear from me soon.
Mother your an a hole
I know cos father said so
when you left for bingo
he said you was a pain in the ass
Father you're a dick head
I know cos uncle mick said
when mum and him were in bed
they said you was a total douche
ah but its…
Straight up, I think your music is great, always have. You are (as I also do) giving it away for free. At some time in the near future I plan on downloading all of it, putting it on my phone, and listening to it as I drive around. That will happen. Well done, sir.
A Sea Shanty with a bit of Psychedelic seasoning. Guest artist Starry Nightmoth performs the “harmonica” on a Yamaha KB as the song fades out.

Unconnected, re: noise reduction on I Lose Control v.2- if you want to, go ahead! I'd like to see what you're able to do. You can email it back to me at songsforthebroken@yahoo.com, and I will put it up and credit you. If you get any ideas while doing that and want to overdub something, feel free to do that as well! Thanks again for listening!

Thank you Steve Cross for coming up with with the perfect drum and rhythm track. This guy did it exactly according to my specifications.
As for the song itself, it's different music. You need a certain level of musical talent to comprehend…
Original track with a little bit of everything. Pop R&B vocals over Piano and Bass finishing with the craziest beat to date. Headphone only add to it!!! Enjoy.

Thanks for your comment on my song a while back. I like this song, a a lot. The building of intensity in the first few minutes is really well done. I do have a question. Are you going to credit William Ernest Henly (probably no relation to Don) for your use of his entire poem "Invictus"?
Thanks again for doing that- the end product is amazing! Re your comments on "The Gift"- no, I haven't touched it since. The song has only been performed live once. It's pretty personal, that's why. It's a good song though. I do have a recording of the one time it's been done since. I don't know, maybe I should give it another shot.
I am honored by your offer to remix my song. Please contact me at songsfromnowhere@gmail.com and I will correspond with you directly and get you the raw tracks.
I got myself a little bargin off ebay a Zoom GFX-707 £25 and have been playing around with the effects ....here's a tone i like so of course i tried to mould something to it ...i feel i've made a bit of a breakthrough with teaching myself the…
This is badass! Have you ever heard the Violent Femmes song, "Never Tell?" It's a similar song concept, but in terms of musical direction or lyrical style your song is nothing whatsoever like it! This is great!
When you walk away, don't talk that way
Imagine the words you say
May be your last.
And if you're angry please don't leave
Just think how near may be the end.
Why must you hold your silly grudges
and revel in your woe
You always had a talent…
Wow! I said I'd listen to all your music when I had time, and I finally do! I'm house sitting for a friend who is a recording major... so she has super awesome studio monitors in her kitchen and I'm listening to your stuff over coffee! It's all really good, , solid writing, performances. Very versatile, all different styles of music, vocals- and stellar production values. Well done. My favorite so far is still "Low and Holy." But I also like "Senseless." I'll keep listening, and by the end of the weekend I'll have heard all your stuff! Really enjoy it!
angel delight
as soon as i awoke i ran downstairs to my laboratory
to see what my strange attractor had brought me
at first it had been disappointing: a few wisps of smoke
some sea-shells and butterfly wings
but this time i found something…
Comments on Songs From Nowhere Project's stuff
had the honor of Running Sound And Lights for Jeb the guy was amazing
Gorgeous voice... Powerful song.

Raw and interesting, Leonard Cohen like at times in delivery and a nice kind James McMurtry.
Great song with wonderful imagery.
Love the atmosphere. The strings are such a beautiful ground for the singing and banjo. Really pretty song!
Of course you know I like it. but I do so hope others will enjoy our collaboration as well. It's a pretty song, nice lyrics, well sung.
A good job of songwriting. Digging the echo. Tasty!
Very nice!

I meant to type, " I DIG the guitar and vocals. Nice rhyming! Rock on!" rather that "I DID..." ;)

Alrighty then! Dig! Rock on!
True lyrics, man -- Rock on!
the GOLDEN RULE was not to be found that night!!!
Gets a yeehaw from me. :) Very cathartic track!
Me too, brother.

I dig it, this is awesome! There's a lot going on in this song musically, but it all fits! Well done!
Extremely well done, all of it. Beautiful. I plan on listening through most of your music when next I have some down time.
That makes total sense! Again, really good song!
I like this!
