first song, first album.  This song got a lot of attention

She Lies

I wrote this song when my daughter Gianna was born.  This was my first attempt at being a producer/engineer.  We recorded this song at my house with a Pro Tools M Box.  If you know what that is then I think you'll agree it didn't turn out too bad.

If You Fall

We've been playing Country before it was the "in" thing in the local circuit.  Just by this sample you can tell.  Yes, It's Alabama's classic tune that I grew up listening to.  We've been playing it in our own style (demonstrated here) for over 12 years.  I actually recorded the entire band off an M Box.  I was going through my Pro Tools, found it, added a few things and here ya go.  Yeah sure, not the best recording I've turned out by far....but its raw and fun!!Considering how I did it, I don't think its all that bad.  Plus I was just a beginner at recording music.  Like it or not, its a fun one!!

This song has been a long time coming.  

Story time.... Back in the late '90's I was in a band with Scott Vosicky, Ryan Burns and the late Lance Gonzales. We were known as "The Grim Harvest". One night I arrived at our rehearsal spot in the building which was once called "Metropolis". I strapped up my guitar, put it on the neck position pick up, and started strumming two basic clean chords.....LJ opened his mouth and words came out forming this song. A few months after, the band split and we all went our different ways. Eventually mine and LJ's paths crossed once again and we formed a little project called "Always In October" which was a more of an electronica meets rock type of thing but we always reminisced about the "old days". I pleaded with him to send me the lyrics to this song for years stating that I wanted to record it because it had great meaning and a lot of our friends kept asking me "Whatever happened to THAT song?". Finally, before he left this world, he e mailed me the words. Well, now it is years later and the tracks are laid and the song is about as done as I can make it without his voice. Its his words, my music. I recorded it, played all the instruments and sang all the vocal lines.
This song discusses "Daddy issues" which I'm fortunate not to have but many people do. But it also deals with abandonment on many levels. I think it relates to almost anyone I know in one way or another. Its taken me a long time to let this one out and I hope I did it justice. The artwork was done by Renee Catherine Wittmann. She drew it from a picture that was taken the last time I ever performed live with LJ, and coincidentally it was this song. I received it as a gift that my wife had asked her to do after my friend had passed. Like anyone, I have been through some dark times. This just feels like the right time to let this song be heard. I strongly urge the use of headphones for the full effect, laptop speakers just don't cut it.
For me, I'm glad to see this song finally get tracked in one way or another....even if it is all me. I love how two simple, yet dark chords along with a lyrical message can just make me feel a certain way. It speaks volumes of what music can really do for a person's heart, soul and mind. I hope our friends enjoy how it turned out. As always, it is FREE to download, like every other song I post from the Triangle Green Soundcloud page. So, put on the headphones, turn down the lights and turn up the volume. Here it is, simply titled
"FATHER".....

Father

The original track to this song is also on this page.  After the way the full band version turned out, I had to make my own version.  Its funny...when I compose a song I always hear so many different ways to play it.  Its hard for me to decide which version I like better.

Stars In Her Eyes

Here's an acoustic version of our song "Mistress".  The song itself was written about 10 years ago but this version was done about 2 years ago.  I can't decide if I like this or the original better...I'm leaning towards this one!

Mistress (Acoustic)

A new original....well, it was actually written a while back but recently recorded.  This is a rough mix, still have a little tweaking to do.

Pale Moonlight

A semi-acoustic version of David Bowie's classic with a moody and trippy feel to it.  Kick back and take a listen while enjoying your favorite method of relaxation.

Space Oddity

My romantic side...a cover of one of my favorite singer/songwriters:  Gordon Lightfoot's "If You Could Read My Mind".  The original version is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard.  I had to do it, I hope I did it justice.

If You Could Read My Mind

One of our favorite cuts off this album.  You have to really listen to the lyrics to "get it"...Has a hell of a hook too. 

Jack the Ripper

Somewhere in the late '90's  Andrew was in a band known as "The Grim Harvest".  The line-up also included Scott Vosicky  (Triangle Green) on drums and Lance Gonzales (Always In October, The Murder King) on vocals.  Andrew came up with this catchy chord progression while recovering from minor surgery and brought it to rehearsal.   The song was formed and Lance came up with the infectious chorus.  After The Grim Harvest came to a pre-mature implosion Triangle Green was formed.  One of the songs carried over.  Alternate verses were written but the hook stayed.  Add a little cry-baby and "The Porno Song" was the result.  It is still a Triangle Green staple 10 years later.

The Porno Song

Our version of Zac Brown's "Chicken Fried".  As always, we put our own spin on this song.  Some may not like it, but we sure do!  Give it a spin....
