Written for/about Ben Montgomery. Answering machine messages wondering where he might be are from yours truly and Jason Biehler, his two closest friends who were always trying to track him down.
The first version.
This is the first and only song I wrote on [arrsuarez](http://alonetone.com/arrsuarez)'s Christmas gift to me, a mbira that he lovingly crafted by hand.

I love that the title has a period on the end. Almost makes it believable when it's below freezing outside.
Beautiful sound. You've really captured the feeling here.
Poured myself a small cup of acoustic guitar, half finger picking, half ebow. Nothing fancy, nothing magical, nothing fantastical, just something to relax through.
First draft.
Dedicated to my mother on her birthday.
In the outro: Trombone, Horns, Clarinets, Mouthpiece buzz by Andy Hentz (arrsuarez) and organic drum related sounds by Glu.
For my friend and coworker, because he certainly deserves it.
This song is friends with [song for themcgruff](http://alonetone.com/sudara/tracks/song-for-themcgruff)

You need locking up for crimes against poor, sentimental, over-sensitive ladies as they sit alone at night, in the dark (because these candles look lovely but are rubbish, to be honest) sipping red wine with only their dreams for company. Vocal rings out like a bell over already heartbreaking notes. I shoot you with my blubbing.
I took you seriously
I took it carefully
I didn't want to breathe too loudly
I walked around silently
I didn't say a word
Fear was there beside me
I know it sounds absurd
But so what?
So what.
I lived without money
I've lived without…
This is one minute of awesomeness. Great sounds. I'm happy you got a chance to go for the 24 hour album, I'm throwing this up on the feature page shortly!
Hi, I'd like to order 3 units of Fill Bot. Are my units refundable? Can I reuse them next year?
You claim "You can trust FillBot" but how do I really know that the generated music will be of a high quality?
This song will repeat now!
Yeah brando!!!! Wow, this is a masterpiece. I'm loving minute 9-10, it is rocking so heavy and great panning, degradation and oh my. bubbly and so many sounds and adventures and man. Congrats!
My favorite so far from your 24 hours, the electric guitar sounding sounds are really incredible. I imagine sitting in a dark cave, water-a-dripping, shadows playing across the walls, wide-eyed and alert.
Congrats Matt! I'm on your fourth track, so far an absolute success. This one reminds me of assignments from composition classes back at Oberlin. It's been amazing to hear all of the various sounds and moods powered by your machine o love, Elysium...
Hi Anton,
It's an acoustic guitar - A larrivée with a koa back. It has been my best friend since I found it hiding in a music store in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
What a great surprise!
The 1:40 muted out break is great, as are the little synthy beeps that come in shortly after. This made my sleepy morning, glu, thanks!
Here is my practice run, 1/12 of the 24hour album. 2 minutes of music in two hours. This track was fun to make. I started with the acoustic guitar, added the bass, then the beat. To get a particular sound that I had in mind, I did a little beat…
Yeah! Love the guitar or whatever the heck that is man, great sound and great beats. I need to create a glu-bot that just always congratulates you on the beats when you upload a new track :) You are darn consistent!
Jason, you are late to the alonetone party, but I forgive you. This was deliciously hiorthoy-esque. I know you have a box of delicious tracks just waiting for us, hook it up!
Ha, yeah...I'm trying to get out of the habit of saying how undone I think something is. I think this song made me bring up [this forum topic](http://alonetone.com/forums/making-music/topics/do-you-ever-finish-your-tracks)

Damn, the drums are off the HOOK in this guy. I mean, the guitar is too, but WTF did you use for drums here? Amazing.
Blam, this guy is just straight purty. Love the voice samples.
Wow!!! Amazing. I could listen to you all day. Thank you so much for uploading this.

Really well done. Soothing and expressive.

Sigh....Just beautiful. Any new tunes for us greedy alonetoners, arrsuarez?

Oh so sweet. Favorited.
