Swamp Stomp

This is a long track, not really a song, more of a backing track.  Its fun to put vocals, guitar, bass, etc on top of it.  It is free to use for any purpose, please send me a link if you make something out of it.

Creeping Death No 3 Of 3 = Tranquility

This is an originaI tune. did all the sounds on this track myself, recorded on a Zoom R16 in a noisy factory studio, and mixed down in Audacity. I hope you enjoy it! 

 LYRICS:

I've been walking down ths road
since the time the seeds were sowed
Walking as the river overflowed.

Life's a joke and then you choke
on ashes from a fire stoked
by generations that have come and gone.

I'm still here
We're all still here
All here now
All here somehow.

Jump the gun, we're on the run
Away from the setting sun
Cast a liquid shadow on the land.

Down by the rusty gate
In a hiding place I wait
For a green flash that comes before the dawn
Then I'm gone

Gone Gone Gone Gone

The Path

I wrote and played every sound on these four songs while my family slept upstairs. I played directly into a four-track cassette deck, I made the drum tracks in n older MIDI program where you drag notes onto a musical staff.

There are a couple places where I mixed three tracks down to one so that I could add background vocals.

The guitar was a heavy goldtop Les Paul copy with a bolt-on neck and no name on the head stock. The bass is a beautiful Korean Lotus.

This was one of the happiest periods of my life. It seems like such an innocent time now.
