Listening to this I see icicles melting as the sun comes up and the melted water flows into the gutter and then into the storm drain.....cars pass by and people run to the bus stop. Watch the passing storefronts as the town wakes up. Very evocative.

This one was tricky to do because the piano does not play at a fixed tempo, and it was an online collaboration (like all my collaborations).
A pop/rock tune in the veins of the 80s. At least that was the goal.
UPDATE: This is the Jan 2017 version!

This is the 2012 remix.

Here is another old one. Not mixed as good as I think I could do it now, but it could be much worse. ;)

Another goodie...
Thoroughly enjoyable listen to all of your tracks on here so far...
I'm amazed at all the different styles you take on and succeed at.
This one started while I was commenting All I Do Is Cry ... and it didn't grab me initially.
But when I started concentrating... crumbs, this excellent. Really interesting melody and chords, and boy does he navigate his way around it well.
I had to click favourite by the time it finished! Brilliant.

Ah... I heard this the other day, didn't I?
I've got two more of yours to go at the moment, but this is my personal FAVOURITE so far.
I assume it's Tricia Dovidio on the vocal again? I think I loves her voice and delivery... :-)

Like the song, love the song, but you're right, I think there's a better a mix in there - it's almost like the lead vocal dominates the track too much... try thinning him out a bit mebbe? Seems a shame to do it though, he's got such a good rich voice :-)

Oh yeah, this is a special one.
He's an excellent lead vocalist, absolutely superb. The song stays sung when he's sung it! Not so convinced that he ought to do his own bvox based on this one though? I felt his lead wanted a different texture to go with it.
Having said that though - wow! The song, the performances, the recording... Superb :-)

Oh yeah... love this. I quite like songs that don't have a fixed tempo - sounds more natural to me... but they're a pain to overdub to though!!
I'm with Mr Landry - where do you find all these vocalists?!! I particularly like this one.
Do you wonder
What became of me?
Cause I wonder
What became of you
Since you wandered
Wandered far away
Full of wonder
I couldn't make you stay
So I wonder what became of you
Did you do the things you had to do?
Will you find your…
This is a love song for my wife.
I want to be
Your honey bee
And you could be the only bee for me
Monogamy
For you and me
You, my little sweetheart
Monagabee
Life would be so happy, you see
If you would be the only bee for me

I just listened to the awesome cover version by Keith Landry and had to come to hear the original song. I like this one too! :)
Well done. It's getting too late now, but I'll be back for further listening :)

I had no idea how ridiculously good the final result would come out.

nice and quiet, love this one
Very pretty. And sad.

Beautiful song with wonderful vocal.
Love the vocal. Very nice!
Very classy track. I love everything about it.
This track is wonderful. What a vocal delivery!
Lovely vocal and the piano accompaniment is perfect.
Very pretty and tinkly.
Ah, cut him loose young lady. You don't need him with a voice like that! Lovely song and beautiful music Stoman, wonderful collaboration.
Ah! Another Tricia Dovidio vocal - yesss... Got any more? :-) Love the organ... but I'm a sucker for a hammondy tone
Yep, lovely stuff, this works as it is for me
Wistful and airy! Lovely stuff!
This is one of my favourites of yours Steffen. Love it !

Comments made by stoman
I think this song would sound great with a little bit of percussion. Still a good one!
No comment on this track yet? How come? I like this song - especially the humming part. :)
Would be nice to have the lyrics to read along. Very nice song anyway! :)
Forgot to log on before commenting ... again. :)
Your voice makes this song shine, Rob!
Everything you post sounds professional to me.
Nice old-fashioned brit-pop sound. You must be a fan of the Beatles. :)
I loved this crazy stuff when you posted it at Songcrafters, and I still do. :)
You must be crazy. But I like that! ;)
Funny piece. :)

I haven't found a single song of yours yet that is NOT superb. :)
Won-der-ful!
Simply perfect. Do you have an idea how great your music sounds?
I'll tell you something, and I'm being serious: I like your music much more than most of the songs they play on the radio today.
I'll have to listen to original song, but this much I can tell you: I LOVE this version.
Lovely. Your songs are really pretty.
Hi, Diego! Nice to meet you here. :) This is a nice, song. Who is the singer? Regards, Steffen
... great fun. :D
A Mini-Moog attack sure beats a heart attack. ;) Sounds like fun! :)
