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

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

bud said 405 days ago
After the clothespin?
Interesting. No clothespins were used in this recording.

J.A.Stewart said 405 days ago
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

bud said 405 days ago
Hmm
I'm afraid I lost my keys. Thanks for stopping by.

psexnyc said 405 days ago
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".

bud said 405 days ago
Interesting
thanks for listening

thoddi said 405 days ago
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.

bud said 405 days ago
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.

Feter said 405 days ago
Boots and Vest
woo a blast from the past ..love the singin along
way .the guitars just incredibles my friends !!
KUDOS !!

bud said 405 days ago
Cheers Feter!
always nice hearing from you.

DWL said 405 days ago
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

bud said 405 days ago
Thanks Dick
for stopping by. You and Rebsie have a Lost Song?

DWL said 405 days ago
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

Doug Somers said 405 days ago
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

bud said 405 days ago
Only time will tell
Glad you enjoyed the rocker.

stevel said 405 days ago
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

michael2 said 405 days ago
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.

peacepiano said 405 days ago
Great Tune
Sounds familiar in so many ways, I will have to get back to you on my guess.

Thanks
Bill

echoroom said 405 days ago
Found
Great track, great noisy production guys - Neil Young? Dunno the album, but this is a cracker.

s

bud said 405 days ago
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.

said 405 days ago
Dont know?
little feat meets Neil Young meets the Lemon heads.. Got me ? love it anyway!!!

racerat said 405 days ago
CSNY
Nailed the Neil Young vibe totally. Don't know the albums well enough to guess, but near the Woodstock era. Like the piano!!!

bud said 402 days ago
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.

said 405 days ago
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 said 405 days ago
well neil young definately
maybe "everyone knows this is nowhere"

I should have gone and put on my flannel shirt for this one!




davisamerica said 405 days ago
gotta be neil
in some ways but your hint has me stumped..._____by_______..i'm not giving up...just resting my eyes

paul f. page said 405 days ago
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!)

lengold said 404 days ago
Well it
sounds like NY to me too. Great track chaps and a lovely feel to it.
Cheers
Len



Ejh said 404 days ago
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'...

Ed

Bob Rodgers said 404 days ago
Great
track Bud and I love this one!

willnlf said 404 days ago
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!

SmokeyVW said 404 days ago
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


Peter Bauckham said 404 days ago
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

said 404 days ago
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 said 403 days ago
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.

said 403 days ago
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 said 403 days ago
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.


Mystified said 403 days ago
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!!!

willnlf said 403 days ago
Thanks
for the compliment to Budwill Industries and for joining in the Lost Song Project. Crazy how Bud and I waited decades before we started collaborating on songs. MJ made it happen and we're enjoying it.

Ibstrat said 402 days ago
I think
I would have to agree with Tom Petty.Certainly could be Neil Young though.Great track-nice guitar work!

said 402 days ago
nice!
and i am sure i know who this is!!!
this is the lost demo from metallica's first album, "kill 'em all...."
right? this is a frikkiin metal classic, bro. you have outdone yourself. i am gonna delete all my files and start over now........

bud said 402 days ago
Man - you're bumming me out
I was going for Motorhead.

said 401 days ago
Motorhead?
Of COURSE! How could I have MISSED that? (slaps head)

guitapick said 402 days ago
Nicely done, Bud...
...not too much Neil Young, as he's playing with Crazy Horse on this one...trying to think of the album...

hmmmmm....



Rebsie said 402 days ago
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!

Ash Tree said 400 days ago
kirkwoods
The Meat Puppets, when they started turning their guitars up and had that hit song. What was that record called?...

bud said 400 days ago
You might be thinking of
Up On The Sun - their 3rd record - less punk more Byrds than MP1 and MP2. Nice thought.

perceptualvortex said 400 days ago
Neil Young
Harvest? The harmonies make me think something else, but I can't place it... really good job, whoever it is.

bud said 399 days ago
The answer to this and other
Lost Songs will be revealed Saturday at the LSP home page. Thanks for dropping by. Glad you liked it.

davisamerica said 399 days ago

bud said 399 days ago
You won't have to wait much longer
answers will be posted Saturday at the LSP home page.
