Pirate Ship Black Camaro

1- Prometheus (1990) Words and Music by Matt Taylor. A new take on a song we performed in Ashes, 1990-1992. Matt wrote a great tune. I changed it.

3- Stay (1989) Words and Music by Peter Jones and Scott M. Stringham. Originally created by WMTS in response to a fierce loneliness and deep pining for a girlfriend, who was on a week’s vacation. Or was it a month? Or years? Seems a bit corny now, but a slice of nostalgia pie is never a bad thing, right?

2- When I Was Young (2002/2003) Words and Music by Peter Jones and Scott M. Stringham. First developed as part of the WMTS album “Believe”- this one was known as “Believe V” Recent life changes have given me incentive to revive and revisit this song.

4- Love’s Lonely Children (1990) Words and Music by Matt Taylor. I’ve always been quite fond of the lyrics in this song. One of the first songs I learned to play on a guitar. The last song completed for this collection.

5- Whirlpool (1990) Words and Music by Alan Farnsworth. The depth, the motion, the mood, the atmosphere. This song blew me away the first time I heard it- in a garage band practice, middle of the winter 1990/91.

6- Go (1990/2003) Words and Music by Peter Jones and Scott M. Stringham. The lyrics were birthed in the angsty aftermath of a local gig filled with people we didn’t like. A touch adolescent, the sentiment still rings true to a great degree. Music was developed in 2003 for the WMTS album “Believe”

7- Believe (2003/2014) Words and Music by Peter Jones and Scott M. Stringham. This song- it has literally taken 2 decades to mature. Written for WMTS, I came up with a musical bit and Scott showed up one day with nearly perfect lyrics. It came out very complex and nearly perfect. It was the capstone of the Believe album, and then I started fiddling with it. Originally it was in F with a 6/8 time signature, played on an acoustic guitar with an open tuning. I adjusted it to 4/4 and in G, played on keyboards and electric guitars tuned standard. The lyrics evolved slowly, but in 2014 a bunch of life changes inspired me to rewrite the words a bit. Very meticulous work. Everything here is very deliberate and purposeful. Rebecca Willard, a childhood friend and professional music producer, heard this and insisted on mixing it. It is extremely ironic that I send my music to Rebecca, as we had reversed roles earlier in life with me being the audio technician and she fulfilling the role of the performer.

8- The Nothing I Knew (2002) Words and Music by Peter Jones and Scott M. Stringham. Always a favorite in WMTS, this song had to be included on this collection. Our good friend James loved this song. He used to sing it to me, out of the blue, whenever I’d see him.

The Nothing I Knew
