Great atmosphere, well done my dear friend!

delicious sonic work once again.....the impeccable bass & drums form the strong backbone....super engaging track!

Main parts --- nylon and steel string acoustic with some electric guitar overdubs later. A kind of study, with some almost experimental electric guitar ornaments. Recovered the acoustic guitar files, fixed them up, and glued it together! A bit of unevenness in the quality means best on earphones I think.

INTER GALAXXO

Song by Tony Harrell. This version recorded at Buck's Place studio.

High School Reunion

This is a song that started off as something else entirely different. Originally, it was a noodle that I recorded using a delay pedal. I gave it to Chris Maness, who put a killer bass lines on in. so, I went back and completely reimagined it as an actual song. I thought it sounded kinda swampy, so I thought of the most musical thing I could think of about a swamp. I remember the swarms of gnats that would form different patterns when I'd sing different vibrations at them. Hence, Dance of the Gnats.

DIDN’T THE RIVER KNOW?

One New Year’s Eve he walked out
In his Tux he looked so fine
We thought he was off to a party
Thought he was having a real good time
But he didn’t come home that evening
And he didn’t come home that night
They didn’t find him till the springtime
His body washed up, cold, wet, and white

Didn’t the river know?
Didn’t the river understand?
That troubles don’t last forever
And mountains wear down to sand
Why couldn’t that river refuse him?
Why couldn’t that river keep him safe?
The beach should be a place to swim
Not a holding place for graves

A sensitive man, he was a painter
So many canvases left undone
The man he was a brother
And a pool hall wayward son
Well the man he was my uncle
And he loved to go for a walk
He showed me the world of fossils
And we fished off the cottage dock

Didn’t the river know?
Didn’t the river understand?
That a pain can’t last forever
That one can always change a plan
Why couldn’t that river reject him?
Why couldn’t that river flow him home?
The water is there to give us life
Not to drown a mind that feels alone
 
With divorce my father felt guilty
He thought that he should have been there
I was a teenager and selfish
Having too much fun to show I cared
His therapist felt discouraged
And the talks and the pills and how they failed
The pool hall debts they were relieved
And the angels did they wail

Didn’t the river know?
Didn’t the river understand?
That love comes to the lonely
Every hand can find a hand
Why couldn’t the river sustain him?
Why couldn’t the river hold fast?
Why couldn’t the river restrain him?
Till all his fears and worries passed

Didn’t the river know?
Didn’t that river know?

Didn't the River Know

Signs Of Life

Cool For The Whoop

Final song for the Post Dead Pop album.  Yet again, mixed by the fantastic Kris Bolin from The Bawl Slant https://soundcloud.com/bawl-slant 

I'M NO HERO
I'd swap no MBE for money
Don't need to cuz I'm far too cunning
Dragged your body from the river

CHORUS
But I know that you know that I know
I know that you know that I'm no
I'm no hero

Sold the photo that showed you dying
And the photo of me crying
As I dragged you from the river

CHORUS

I didn't mean it
Shhh! I never liked you
Faked the rescue and faked the sorrow

CHORUS

I'm No Hero

Firstly I have to point you guys to the video because this is at least 50% visual experience. It is here:

I want to also explain about this song and us as artists. We have already made, and will continue to make songs in our genre of catchy pop, earthy folk and ethereal mystique. We are comfortable there, but we thought we would try something a little different, a little left field. This is arty and abstract, just for fun... but it was also kind of serious, inspired after having just finished reading Angela's Ashes.

LYRICS
It's a 21st Century malady
There's nothing really wanting at all
Hm
Let's try not to fall
Maybe we're poised for lift off
Maybe we should find the escapr route
Or a launch pad
There's nothing wanting at all
Agony of nothing wanting
Breeding malcontent
Breeding the wildest problems
No one in their wildest dreams
Could have imagined they'd have to solve
In the 1940s

Just last night
I was waiting for a thread
I had nothing wanting at all
Hungering after
The mere-est thread

Where are you?
Where are you?
You could not receive it
Could not receive it
Where are you now my love

I made a gift of a vow
Given freely as any vow should
But you could not receive it
You could not receive it
Where are you?
Just over the hill
In this 21st century
