Acoustic Stuff (Clear Cut LIGHT!)

[imported_Schroeder]

Here is an acoustic tune that we recorded. I am trying to show my sensitive side here!! ;) The song is called Glowing in the Desert, a song that I wrote in my head on the way to Lake Tahoe last summer. It was very weird. I was scribbling lyrics on a pad of paper while I drove. I pulled out my Martin 000-28EC when I got to my parents' cabin in Tahoe and this song came out. Definitely the first time I wrote an entire song in my head before ever picking up a guitar. Lyrics are unchanged. Those of you in California may recognize some of the landmarks. B y the way, all I used on this song is the Martin and a touch of reverb. Two main parts and a third part you can barely make out that sort of drones along in the background. Put it on if you want to feel lonely!!!

Glowing in the Desert
By Jason Z. Schroeder

Susanville to Reno
395
Itís a lonely highway

Sunset on Sierra
Over Hallelujah Junction
Iíll say my prayers here today

Maybe Iím just tired
Of running from the fire

No one to meet me at Bordertown
Not tonight

So Iíll stop in the desert
At the first red light

Desert Storm survivor
Now sheís 34
Her badge of honor was a baby boy

And theyíre so damn tired
Of running toward the fire

No one to meet her at Bordertown
No not tonight

So theyíre stuck in the desert
At the first red light

Angel doesnít live here anymore
Itís just a name someone left on the door
And he canít tell who needs who more
So he holds her ëtil she sleeps
Like heís been there before
And itís glowing in the desert at the first red light

Angel doesnít live here anymore
Itís just a g#@damn name that someone left upon the door
And he canít tell who needs who more
So he holds her ëtil it hurts
Because heís been there before
And itís glowing in the desert
And itís glowing in the desert
And itís glowing in the desert at the first red light

And here is a version of the Stone Temple Pilots song Plush but with me on piano and a touch of acoustic guitar. A very cool vocal performance by Mark in my opinion.

Love it Tommy! Really cool.
And I really love that guys voice.

[imported_Schroeder]

Very nice Tommy. Very articulate run at the end! That is really a sign of a great player to sound that clean and to be able to play fast and hear every note. I think that it begs for the song to be bigger and have drums etc. Like I said, this song is only acoustic guitars and voices!

Stu, Mark has a really incredible voice and he sounds amazing live. This vocal track was recorded literally minutes after he heard the song for the first time. I laid down a scratch vocal so he could learn the melody and he said, hit record and this is what came out.

By the way, I can send you a CD of my band if you haven't heard it.

[imported_Shadscbr]

Once again, nice work Tommy and Jason!!

Hey Jason, I would love a copy of your CD. I have a mix cd in the car right now, and the first two songs are clear cut :)

Tommy, let me know if you have any music available. It would be cool to check some of your tunes, I dig your playing!

Hey Tommy-
I have heard that song a million times (my choice- I LOVE it!) and that version is too cool. I thought it was great that you added something a little different!
I would love to hear more of your band...
Glad you had fun with the tour guitar.

I would love a CD too. I listen to California often, and I love this song too.

[imported_sleepingtiger]
