This one is a bit different. It is a synthesizer instrumental, and the title is no coincidence. The experiment was to write a complete song based on just one single chord. :)

Just a little piano ballad - another old composition. The strings have not been mixed/edited too well, sorry for that. I'll fix it some day.
It was bedtime and I suddenly felt like playing something on my keyboard. That's how this song came…

I've just listened to some of your songs, and I like them all. The songwriting, the arrangements, the performance, the sound quality - all is excellent IMO.
I'll be back to listen again. :)
I love the sax too. And the harmony vocals. And the lead vocal. And the arrangement. And the vibe. ;) :D
The new mix sounds pretty good on my speakers.

Your songwriting skills are really admirable. Putting a free-form poem like this to music sure isn't an easy job for most people. But your music and the lyrics always go together like hand and glove.
Great lyric, btw!

This is a Ralph Mctell song , a very underated British singer / songwriter , probably famous for one song , The Streets of London , but in fact wrote many great songs , he wrote this while working on a building site before he was signed by a record…
I must admit that I don't know any of McTell's songs except "Beautiful Dreamer" and "Streets Of London". But I don't think the original version of this song can be much better than yours. :)
Very well done again, Rob. Although I'd prefer to hear you sing more original songs as those I've had the pleasure to listen to were awesome.
Regards,
Steffen

This one is really nice. I'm not sure if the sound quality was intended that way - it's probably owed to the equipment you use, BUT it really adds some nice aged flair to it and suits the song very well IMO.
Comments on stoman's stuff
Oh my, stunning vox! Shades of KD Lang here! Everything fits perfectly. Great song!
What a delicious vocal. My hat off to you maam!
Wow! This is beautiful!
Beautiful, sweet, relaxing, music! What more can you ask for. And all your recordings are superb!
Well, it is still a lovely song and deserves to be heard.
Ha ha, really clever. Successful experiment! I'm just going over to open tuning to make my life easier.

beautiful...moving piece...the bass instrument is phenominal...the entire spectrum represented...be proud
....didn't understand a word but the vocal flowed beautifully...the voice just washed over me......the acoustic guitar ....a thing of beauty.......
A mysterious beginning ....war of the worlds feel.....Enjoyed the ride
I dig the high pitched synth..
Excellent!!
Looking forward to more experiments! Parts of this remind me of the old "Dr Who" theme. Good fun!
Really nice playing. A very gentle, soothing piece.
Your talent is showing :)
Now that's a sweet melody. Artistic and effortless. A fine performance.
This is very moving, Steffen. Always good to hear Mimmo.

Very pretty. The piano and the guitar go together well.
