We did four versions of this song - all with different guitars (or combinations thereof). This is version 2, my own favorite version.

This is a little folk/shanty tune that started as a quick little instrumental draft and…
This is an old song that I finally remixed. All intruments are synthesizers, so there were only three of us this time.
The song is based on a free-form poem by Grant D. McLeman from Scotland that he had sent to me to put it to music.
Vocals…
This song was written on guitar by Kari Eskola from Finland. He sent me his guitar track along with this fantastic vocal recording by Emmi Inkeri asking me to replace the guitar with a piano accompaniment.
I tried my best, knowing that I'm not…

This is a remix of this song.
It was recorded in 2010, and I was in a hurry to post it elsewhere because I'm so fond of the song itself. But I've always hated the old mix - I lost the essence of the guitars and choirs during mastering because…
Great stuff, Andy! I don't remember how the old mix sounded (but I have it on some CD, so I'll probably compare it later) - but I do remember that I loved it. This new one is great too, so you definitely did not screw it. :)
A GOOD CRY
Rick Babb/JMT
Why don't you cry
I know you need to
A tear is meant to ease your pain
A flood could come
And it would wash you
So, don't you try and hold it back
A good cry can't be bad
Why don't you cry
Come her, I'll…
THE LAST TIME I SAW GRAND PA
The last time I saw grand pa was sixty years agp
Palmdale, California and I was four years old
He was stooped and withered
A worn-out little man. I remember him the best I can
I swear I saw my grand pa in…
Riny, that's a fabulous song. I wish I could understand more - maybe if you post the lyrics, then I can read long (I don't speak Dutch, but I live at the Dutch border, so your language is at least not completely unfamiliar to my ears and eyes).

This was something I wrote when my Son Ethan was here, but never got round to recording it.....
Thought I would give it a try today...
Was gonna be a poem, but found it suited music.
Hope you like it.

First new one from me in a long time.
Kind of a love song, I guess.
Recorded in my new "studio" (3rd bedroom in the new house). Almost up and running now... shine and don't stop wondering!

Every time I think you won't be able to top what you've already done you prove that you actually can. I love the sound of this song - needless to mention your voice and songwriting.
Good to hear something new from you, Andy! Keep them coming!

Steffen

I don't have a life/Not a real life
Tho I may be bold/I don't have a hand to hold
I don't have a life/Not a real life
No…
I can say with a clean consience that I don't watch any soaps - because I never watch tv. :)
I don't know "House", but I'm sure my mother would love it. :)
Nice song, James! About time to listen to some of your recently posted songs. If only there were more hours in a day ...

Lyrics:

Take me far away from here
Take me to the sea
Take me somewhere I don’t know
Take me where the water goes

Comments on stoman's stuff
Great arrangement - lovely tone!
Excellent stuff! Brill.
Very smooth. Lovely live feel. Fine song and arrangement. And what a voice the man has! :-)
Good form,good song very well done.
Brilliant! Spinal Tap must be seething with envy...
Excellent throughly enjoyed.....

Cool song...
Ooo yeah, like this one. A lovely "tight but loose" feel.
Not convinced he sounds like David Essex - ok, a bit maybe - but he's got a fabulous voice. And his guitar playing's rather tasteful too. Nice one.
very cool, tight song. reminds me of nice cross between Adrian Belew and INXS.
Very nice..."another place and another time..."
Nice song
A good piece of work I can easily hear this asd a song behind a film or TV offering.
very nice piece
Love that change on "not to see"... So pretty. So sad.
I like it. It just bounces along effortlessly.
This is a beautiful song, and the piano and voice are wonderful.
Very pretty composition indeed Steffen with lovely vocal and lyrics from Paul. Bethan
Super vocal and I enjoyed the piano work as well. Lovely track! Bethan

I love the 60's vibe of this song. This could be an undiscovered song of The Beatles or The Kinks ... or even The Who. Regards, Steffen
Simple and beautiful. Simply beautiful. :) Regards, Steffen
Wonderful and melancholic - and I think everybody can relate to this superb lyric. Regards, Steffen
Riny, that's a fabulous song. I wish I could understand more - maybe if you post the lyrics, then I can read long (I don't speak Dutch, but I live at the Dutch border, so your language is at least not completely unfamiliar to my ears and eyes). Regards, Steffen
Wow, I hadn't heard this before. Great folk tune, perfect delivery. Regards, Steffen

Not quite what I had expected from the title. This song sounds like a Native American hymn. Great vocal arrangement!
And again you sound like Harry Chapin. And your songs are no less versatile. You are very prolific. Regards, Steffen

Beautiful!
James, thanks to you too! :)
Thanks, Bethan and Terry! I think I'll have to give the strings section a little more attention mixing-wise. Expect an update in a couple of days! :)
Great listen. I love that 60s sound and style.
I just downloaded all the tracks you posted here. Great folk music - thanks for sharing! Regards, Steffen
Wow, this is even better than the one I listened to before. And that one was already close to perfect.
What wonderful, authentic song and performance! Great listen.
... TOUCH of course, not TOUGH. ;)
What I said before holds for this one too. Great retro feel with even a slight psychedelic tough at one or two spots. Lovely work! Regards, Steffen
You know your craft for sure. Really fun listening to - I love the retro vibe of your songs. Regards, Steffen
