Description

My submission to the Lost Songs Project. This is a collab with brother Will who supplied lyrics and vocals (we got to sing together on this one).

I found this track in a suitcase I bought at a swap meet. The tape was in there along with assorted auto parts and and a rancid stuffed monkey. When I got home and spooled it up on my reel to reel I couldn't believe it - I'd found a lost track from__________by________.

Lyrics

Come on baby let’s get away
Leave these streets behind
Find them in the country
Those angels in our minds

Getting and spending we waste our powers
The ancient poet said
Visions of snow-capped mountains
Dancing in his head

They’re singing in a meadow
Flowers everywhere
Colors like a rainbow
Bursting in the air
And when the day is over
The sun is sinking down
We’ll travel down a two lane road
And find that little town

Getting and spending we waste our powers
The ancient poet said
Visions of snow-capped mountains
Dancing in his head

I’ll put on my boots and vest
You’ll where your party shoes
We’ll dine on stars and moonlight
Forget those city blues

- 2007 Will Jones

	Harvest? After the Gold Rush? I was going to try Neil Young with a clothes pin on the nose thing... LOL In fact I have the lyrics started..... Nice song! . - Harold

	After the clothespin? Interesting. No clothespins were used in this recording. Check out my latest song called Expanding Toys (Halloween Remix)

	Insane Nag Certainly has the feel of NY & Crazy Horse, musically... but probably needs to come up a few keys to be authentic. Also needs more nasality vocally... perhaps a clothespin on each nostril? lol --- Joe Check out my latest song called A Night @ Neverland

	I Know Who's Lost Track It Is... ...It's not Neil Young's lost track. Joe Walsh lost this one!! It should have been on his 1973 album "The Smoker You Drink, The Player You Get". Check out my latest song called C'Mon Get Ready LIVE (MJRF)

and could also be
a lost track from the "American Fool" album by John Cougar Mellencamp... This one had a slower beat than most of the other tracks so it got lost in the haste of getting it ready... perhaps.

Well done.. great hook-line, cool guitars. And a very true american folk-rock feeling in this one. Your two voices go pretty well together.

	Thanks for the comments Will had to do his vocal on his H2 recorder without the benefit of hearing playback. I think he did a great job. Check out my latest song called Expanding Toys (Halloween Remix)

DWL	DWL said 710 days ago (November 30th, 2007)
	I thought Small Faces at first but the American accents put paid to that. The guitar has Neil Young sound but the lyrics are a little flowery for him. Dunno, I'm stumped. Great rocker though :-) Cheers Dick Check out my latest song called Superstar Shangri-La

bud	bud said 710 days ago (November 30th, 2007)
	Thanks Dick for stopping by. You and Rebsie have a Lost Song? Check out my latest song called Expanding Toys (Halloween Remix)

DWL	DWL said 710 days ago (November 30th, 2007)
	we do if I get my arse in gear and put the backing track down..... Too much work and not enough free time. Cheers Dick Check out my latest song called Superstar Shangri-La

Doug Somers	Doug Somers said 710 days ago (November 30th, 2007)
	I was also going to say Neil Young or a Young influenced CSNY tune, but I'm also stumped. I agree with Dick, it's a great rock tune. Kudos! Doug Check out my latest song called Desiree (MJ Space Race 2009)

	Only time will tell Glad you enjoyed the rocker. Check out my latest song called Expanding Toys (Halloween Remix)

stevel	stevel said 710 days ago (November 30th, 2007)
	yep This has a Neil Young Crazy Horse feel on the guitars...maybe a bit of Green on Red/Dream Syndicate too.. Tough one to call hehe Steve Check out my latest song called Electricity

michael2	michael2 said 710 days ago (November 30th, 2007)
	i'm going to say "After the Goldrush" but it could be a lost Buffalo Springfield track. This whole challenge is awesome so far. Great track. Loving those guitar parts. Check out my latest song called Stars and Dust (space challenge)

	Thanks for the listens and comments gents. Like m2 - I'm really enjoying hearing everyone's work. Steve Echo - I swear I didn't push the noise button - honest - I don't know how it happened. Check out my latest song called Expanding Toys (Halloween Remix)

	Dont know? little feat meets Neil Young meets the Lemon heads.. Got me ? love it anyway!!!

racerat	racerat said 710 days ago (November 30th, 2007)
	CSNY Nailed the Neil Young vibe totally. Don't know the albums well enough to guess, but near the Woodstock era. Like the piano!!! Check out my latest song called Frank's Song

bud	bud said 707 days ago (December 3rd, 2007)
	Thanks for your note Philip Glad you dug the piano. It's not my instrument - I had to play the right and left hands on separate tracks. Channeling Jack Nitzsche. Oops - a hint. Check out my latest song called Expanding Toys (Halloween Remix)

	said 709 days ago (November 30th, 2007)
	Crazy Horse? Sounds a lot like Neil Young and band...but something about the vocal harmonies suggests another artist or group...I just can't quite place the sound. Sure dig this though. Love that fuzzed out git soloing! Be well bro!

Vic Holman	Vic Holman said 709 days ago (November 30th, 2007)
	well neil young definately maybe "everyone knows this is nowhere" I should have gone and put on my flannel shirt for this one! Check out my latest song called One Step Over The Line

I just...
...liked the song, Bud. You and your brother are a great team!!! My bent has always been in somewhat different direction, as you know, but when I hear a "comfortable" song like yours, I can't help but take notice. You have such a solid and skilled sound to your band, characteristics that tell the listener "these guys know what they're doing." I'm glad to have heard this number...oh...great lead about 3/4 in... nice.
Good luck in the competition.
Peace.
Paul
(P.S. if I were to submit a "lost song" it would probably sound like Mozart or something...Ha!)

Okay,maybe...
Neil Young and Crazy Horse, but it's a Danny Whitten song, so maybe from the first Crazy Horse album...

References to Wordsworth probably a little haute-falutin for Neil and company, though...Too many flowers for 'Tonight's The Night'...

Maybe 'Everybody Knows THis Is Nowhere'...

willnlf	willnlf said 709 days ago (December 1st, 2007)
	Nice... ...pick up on the Wordsworth allusion. You're probably right that it wouldn't show up on a Neil album, but it was the line that lead to the rest of the lyrics. New band: Willie and the Romantics! Check out my latest song called Dream Song

SmokeyVW	SmokeyVW said 709 days ago (December 1st, 2007)
	Neil Young first impression was Southern Man... but no, wait Buffalo Springfield? (Neil again), no, how about Ohio? (still Neil) i dunno, Neil's got something to do with this. anyway, it's a great ballad thanks Check out my latest song called Settle

Peter Bauckham	Peter Bauckham said 709 days ago (December 1st, 2007)
	My initial thoughts are Neil Young but as to which album - 'After The Goldrush' - perhaps I should keep my options open and go with Decade (only joking). Does have a bit of 'Southern Man' in there somewhere to my ears. Great song. Peter Check out my latest song called All The Same (CBGB) (Last Chance Challenge)

	said 709 days ago (December 1st, 2007)
	Trying not to cheat by scrolling down to read other comments, so based on the opening riffs I'd say Petty, but now as the song plays I'm not too sure I have that right. Ok, so now I scrolled down and I also hear the Neil Young comparisons too. But I'm sticking with Petty as my guess. Nice track, Bud and also a great concept for song writing! Thanks for being such an active member here!

Diviner	Diviner said 708 days ago (December 2nd, 2007)
	aarrggh it sounds soooo familar and I cannot think who it is. The voice has a Neil Young sound, wow, you sound like Neil Young, thats cool, although the music, I don't know. Really good track Bud. Like it alot.Very well played. Check out my latest song called Space Program (Space Race 2009)

	said 708 days ago (December 2nd, 2007)
	Neil Young? Very strong piece of music... excellent guitars, with a laid-back sound and feel that really suggest Neil's stuff. But I'm not so sure, though. Could be a surprise lurking next week. 'Rancid Stuffed Monkey'... that's gotta be something. I tried Googling it and got this tune. No luck there. Okay, my beer's on Neil Young.............................................I think.

bud	bud said 708 days ago (December 2nd, 2007)
	Some of you are pretty close - some even right on - some way off but I could understand why and go with it. All of you are aces in muy book for playing along with this thing. Thanks for dropping by. Check out my latest song called Expanding Toys (Halloween Remix)

I'm not even going to try to guess who...
...I had to do a Renaissance piece for my own lost song (though Bryn and I managed to create a contemporary piece in collaboration :)

But I've been going around and catching all the LSP songs anyway. What fun!

You and your brother are a fantastic team...and this is a fantastic track :)

What a great idea these 'Lost songs' have been :)

Thank you!!!

Rebsie	Rebsie said 707 days ago (December 3rd, 2007)
	Who knows The opening riff made me think of Ziggy-era David Bowie, but once it gets going it sounds more American, so ... er ... I dunno. But it's very pleasant listening whatever it is. Lovely guitar work and delicious vocal combinations. And yes me and Dick are still working on ours. Getting there! Check out my latest song called Amongst The Colours (w/ Luna Trick)

bud	bud said 704 days ago (December 5th, 2007)
	You might be thinking of Up On The Sun - their 3rd record - less punk more Byrds than MP1 and MP2. Nice thought. Check out my latest song called Expanding Toys (Halloween Remix)
