nice and quiet, love this one

Very pretty. And sad.

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.

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 !

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.

Oh, yes, the new version sounds even better. The bass still sticks out a little on some notes, but overall it sounds great.

I love the retro vibe of this (and actually all your other songs, too). Great arrangement, composition, everything!

It's always nice to come back and listen to some of your songs. I just wish there was more (spare) time in a day.

Cool, I never knew you were Bob Dylan's brother, James. ;)

The part up to the chorus sounds like the early Cat Stevens, before you morph into David Essex again. :D Great stuff, Andy! I'm not sure if the clicks come from the internet connection (or did you want to create a vintage vinyl impression?). But I'll download the track anyway, so I'll soon know. :) The mix is a little bass heavy, but the song is still great.

Thanks @JMT and @Wildgeas! I just uploaded a new mix with Andreas Hülsen on drums. He used an electronic kit with the same samples that I had used in my version, so when he sent me the MIDI file, I was able to reproduce the original sound, just with the human feel of a real drummer playing the drums. :)

Angela! Great to hear from you! Unfortunately this site has no private mail feature, so I'm replying here. I would love to finish this song - with YOUR vocals. Nobody can interpret your lyric as authentically as yourself. Please let me know if you're up for it! Regards, Steffen

It really does not matter which of your songs I listen to - they are ALL great. Thanks for making them available here at Alonetone!

I love it! It has a nice 60s/70s touch that I like.

FINALLY: The song has been recorded with real guitars and bass! :) http://alonetone.com/stoman/tracks/summer-rain-1

Your original songs are the best ones. Great stuff, Andy!

This is one of my favourite songs of Helen Reddy's (although that's already a cover of the Tanya Tucker version)! Nice, bluesy rendition. :) The vocals are heavily out of sync though - you should fix that in your DAW.

With the video it gets even better. I love your performance! Great to see you "live".

That's perfect, Andy! Oh, you attached a video - I only noticed that now. Guess I'll listen one more time then. :)

Wonderful. Adding more instruments can't make this any better. It's perfect as it stands.

70's rock all down the line. I love the background vocals and all the guitar work. I think the drums could be more upfront, and I can imagine some percussion too. That would be the icing on the cake. But anyway, a great song! Very well done.

Cool song, very nice.

Hey, this one has a great drive. A perfect country/blues rocker.

Great songwriting, as usual. The mix sounds a bit rough to me, but I love the arrangement.

Gooood one! :) You know how to do that stuff. Great job!
