I'm getting a much better idea of "stoman" listening to tracks one after the other on here.
You have no fear of genres/whatever - write the song, get the right dudes on... job done :-)
Another classy one.

This is the 2012 remix.
This song was based on a free-form lyric by Grant D. McLeman from Scotland. Quite a challenge ... :)

James is actually a country singer. This was the first time for him to sing a jazzy piano…
He did a fine job (vocal).
I like the relaxed vibe of the track. It's one of those songs that needs a decent performance to bring it out - I think you guys achieved it. Love that organ when it comes in.

"You gotta put your pencil to the paper. Don't bother with the intricate chords. Hell it doesn't matter if the damned thing doesn't rhyme. Write it down. Run it through. Make some noise." These were actually the first words I wrote when…
Bedtime here, so I have to stop listening to all the great music at this site for now. But I'll be back. And I have all your music on my mp3 player anyway. :)
Great as usual!
It's about a few folks, some known, some known to me. I liked the chunkiness of the chord that starts it, but wanted to do something a little more 'spacey' than a pure rock number. It's all true too.

There are times, moments, sounds, shadow falls that take us to and bring us back to magical times in our lives,,,Something in this piece by Johnny Mercer & Henry Mancini,, can pull me in so many different ways,,, it's always been a favorite…
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…
Thanks to everybody for listening and commenting! :)
@charmedquark: No, this is not a real piano. It is TheGrand3 by Steinberg - my favorite piano VST. :)

To me this sounds like a soundtrack for a film scene where it's midnight in a warm summer, and a loneseome guy with a guitar sits at the harbour picking this tune.
I could also imagine him playing harp with the guitars coming from off-stage.
Very nice. :)

Steffen
You must be the long lost brother of Lou Reed and Bob Dylan. ;)
Pretty song with a lovely guitar accompaniment. Would love to see the lyrics posted.

The circus clown turns his pedestal
Into a royal throne
wraps his words in fear and anger
tells us what we’ve always known
while the ringmaster takes the sideline
and steps down from the stage
he knows his days are numbered
when cheers turn…

When I was out for a walk recently I had your music on my mp3 player. And when I returned back home I almost felt like going for another round - to hear more of it! :)
Great song, as usual.

Works for me. Great track and the vocal just sits there like it should.
I like it. I see what you mean about the vocal take... but I think it adds to it's effect.

This one is stunning
Looooove the celtic music! And again with the incredible vocals!
Another outstanding acoustic guitar track! This might be the best track here, Steffen!
Another fine mellow track. Where are you finding all these incredible vocalists!
Excellent track! Love that vocal from Jessica. Outstanding production quality on this one all around... Really tight arrangement and performance.
So nice and relaxing... A great way to end a long day.
Quite beautiful both musically and lyrically. Full of emotion. Your playing is divine and the vocal performance is sublime.
My word, this is special. Great vocal too!
Oh my, that was lovely!
"The Fall" - an appropriate name
A beautiful vocal....a lovely track
Oh lovely breezy feel! Great ensemble!
Lovely folky song. Very nicely sung and played.
Beautiful the guitar and voice..............
Great sound.... Good voice ...kinda reminds me of a Bond theme or rather it should be one

Excellent lyrics and songwriting! This is a complete story, both lyrically and musically. Love it. Great vocal performance too.
Right up my alley! The kick is a bit too heavy, but the rest is awesome. Superb vocals! Regards, Steffen

Another foot-tapper. And as professionally produced as all your other songs. Regards, Steffen

I can't understand why some people don't like this kind of pop-reggae (or is it reggae-pop?). Sounds very nice!
