Description : An old Scottish Celtic Traditional Folk Song. My dad used to play this one when I was a young lad. The melody always stuck in my head and meant something to me, when I heard it again, it brought back some great memories of my younger days. Funny how music can take you away to another time and place. Music is such a powerful trigger. Anyhow I played all the instruments and sang on this one. Not my usual type of musical fare but I still hope you enjoy it.

Description : I created this song around Carrol's lovely acapella. Hopefully I didn't ruin it. This is a mix of lovely classic irish folk with glitchy dubstep. It's almost oxymoronic.

Description : Nils Ferlin was a swedish poet from Värmland county, his statue is sitting on a bench in a small town called Filipstad. This song is about talking to Ferlin about life.
The track was originally written for my band way back in the eighties and I always felt that I should rearrange the chorus. So here it is, a totally new version of the song with lyrics in english.

UPDATE March 3: My buddy and former band mate Jens Comen is now a fabulous sax player in a folk rock band called Hoven Droven (check them out on itunes). His soprano sax added a nice touch to this song. If you want to see the Ferlin statue, check out my pics.

Description : A sort of folk/acoustic ballad I did awhile back for my first album, "Through The Cracks" using guitar loops by Greg Diaz of Playinmusic.com. Just a short, simple love song. Back when I was last dating, I wrote a couple of tracks like this. Despite it's extremely brief length I'm still happy with how this track turned out.

Description : A simple pop/folk tune in swedish that came about after a crazy evening. Well, the song is about what can happen when you hang in the bar too long and try to dance after that. Please consider this tune as a work in progress, I need a good pianoplayer and a nice tin pipe...but, it was fun to do and I hope you like it.

UPDATE: Remixed and remastered with Wayne the Humps on mandolin. Hopefully it sounds better,

Description : (LYRICS)

Train track Sally was a helluva girl
she lived up on the mountain
In her own little world
She'd come into town every month or so
Straight to the depot she would go
She'd get up on the tracks
Looking far and wide
bearing her soul
you could see inside
She lost her man
and he's been gone for a spell
The towns folk gathered and said what the hell

Train Track Sally Your looking for your man
and that's alright
Train Track Sally When you find him
It'll feel Just Right

Well it's not like nothing
That they haven't tried
They got up on the tracks
and they took a ride
She stood up tall and was understood
It might have been kinky
but it was good

Train Track Sally Your looking for your man
and that's alright
Train Track Sally When you find him
It'll feel Just Right

She staggered up the hill
With her supplies
knowing damn well she had been baptized
So if your in town
and there's a crowd on the track
Join right in
but watch your back

Train Track Sally Your looking for your man
and thats alright
Train Track Sally When you find him
It'll feel Just Right

Description : This... is my hip hop attempt... But i can rap so id apreciate it if anyone is willing to redo the lyrics,

Here are the lyrics:

The answer sits on the window sill,
you get your fill by poppin' pills makin' time to kill,
every other day you are undecided but you feel enlighted,
every time you light it, and you know you cant fight it.
I can tell you about a story 'bout a girl,
who spent her life curled up, away from the world,
One night she was on the level, trying to rebel,
stayin' away from her friends and closing in on the devil,

She put a gun to her head, she said, "i'm dead",
and she fed the mental anguish without all the meds,
It was the last day, an hour before she croaked,
her roommate walked in and she read the note,

It coulda been much more than this, more than a fist,
clutching life and falling back through the mist,
and more and more i am learning the world keeps turning,
souls keep burning full of yearning and my stomach keeps churning.
It coulda been much more than this, more than a miss,
anthother marked off, one less on the list,
and more and more someone is falling until theyre crawling
on thier knees, head down and bawling...

Its so long, Its so long, but it's hard once it's gone.
let's just face it, and place it in position for admission,
It ain't tough no it ain't tough, no, it ain't nuclear fission.
Im just waiting for someones permission, their coalition.
I could crack a joke at the sad looking folk,
but then i would choke, i'd break like an egg yolk.
I could stand around and start portrayin'
a slain king or somthing while my nerves are Frayin'

But she'd still be not there, it's not fair,
everyone stumbles around like they don't care.
and i'd still be somthing that i can be but it's not easy,
when theyre counting one, two, three, continue...

It coulda been much more than this, more than a fist,
clutching life and falling back through the mist,
and more and more i am learning the world keeps turning,
souls keep burning full of yearning and my stomach keeps churning.
It coulda been much more than this, more than a miss,
anthother marked off, one less on the list,
and more and more someone is falling until theyre crawling
on thier knees, head down and bawling...

Description : How to best describe this one? A chilled out beatnick alternative rock with a sort of Jazz and folk thang going on? Used a drum loop, a shaker loop, two bass loops, laid some guitar tracks on it. One Guitar duplicates the upright bass loop, another one strumming the chords and another that's picking at some notes in the chord higher up. Laid down a main vocal track, added a faint darker back up vocal track. Also have a spoken track panned to the left. Actually this is one of those stereo recordings that is made for headphones..... The lead vocal floats around some between the center and slighty left at times. The lead is actually my Acoustic, which I added guitar effects to in Music Maker. Sound like it's an electric. I used my cheap ASS labtec Walmart special PC mic to record the acoustic and sing through.. I tried to make this mix a little hotter and more sperated compared to my last ones. Hopefully the vocals don't stand out in front so much but rather blend with everything else. Oh yeah, I'm using a couple of FX loops.. one is the old record player sound in the start of the song, used another one where the lead guitar starts off. The lead is basically almost the same riff as the bass line. Let me know how the mix is on this one, if it's any better compared to my last few?
