this song was inspired from an ee cummings poem. it was composed for rpm 2009.
lyrics:
i'll tell you a dream i had once
up in the sky blue everything
flying away a kite on a string
i didn't have anything
i was cool you were warm…
This was a total experimental piece about just making a soundscape. I played instruments I don't really play, and put some thru different effects just to experiment. The Bushisms add some color to what would otherwise just be some noise. I…

Yay, the Lennon filter!! :)
Interesting how a song evolves from
one idea into another by some drastic
yet simple change like attenuating
the tempo.
Enjoying your mandolin playing!
I have a 100yr old heirloom here
but it needs some new tuning heads
and strings. I haven't used it in
a couple of years and I'm dying to
get it going again.
An RPM 2009 song. Well, this was a personal story for me that came about when your past intersects (briefly) with the present.

Gumbo, you are right...those are the correct song titles. I am a huge fan of Martin Hayes..and Dennis Cahill. What a combo...love the dynamics between the two. I encourage everybody to check them out.

I believe the tunes are
Paul Ha'penny / The Garden of Butterflies / The Broken Pledge / The Mother and Child Reel / Toss the Feathers
I turned it on and now I have to listen to the end again!

Again i'd love some feedback
I like the feel and the mix
do the lyrics work?
recorded t'night in an hour after trying all day to get the verse lyrics rammed into another tune
This one is a personal favorite of mine, though it got savaged on Garageband.com. Ah well...
It has a lot of parts, lots of gtrs, and boatloads of harmonies. Actually, one guy on Garageband loved it. Maybe some day I will buy him a drink.

This is from our album, "When I Was Your Age," recorded entirely in the month of February for our third year participating in the RPM Challenge. "When I Was Your Age" is a collection of 13 songs looking back at when we were kids.
thanks for these childhood memories that you've managed to completely capture - i have freed the repressed photomat booth man that was locked within and he is now running wild like a cave man in the 21st century
you tell me what you want
you tell what you need
i cant give you nothing honey
but this pretty little seed
where has the sun gone
and is it gone forever
will it come back someday
should we just give it some time
i ask you what…

Beautifully dreamy.
You have a way of convincing me you are sat beside a river in the rockies, just singing and playing to yourself.
I really enjoyed that, vocal, melody, tempo. Perfect.
Nice and mellow. Reminds me a bit of Nick Drake. Great song.
trippy and a little far out...just what I would expect music on mars to sound like. I enjoyed listening.
hahah internetz! I think you might enjoy this playlist: http://alonetone.com/glu/playlists/gl-vs-pres-bush

This is a great collection of songs. I love the close-up, warm sound of everything.
I always love songs about the interwebs.
Great feel on this one. It's raining here in NH, this piece makes it feel more like Dún Aonghasa.
