And there's something really uplifting about this one. Each time the chorus comes round... fab.
Cool guitar sounds too - over the whole album - but I love them here.
This song is meant to be the intro, set the stage, and talk about the direction of the album. The riff came to me while I was absent-mindedly noodling on my gtr in front of the idiot box one day. I knew at that point I had an album opener of a…
Don't tell me how it is, I'm good, I got it, I got it. But are we blind, and are there cracks in a facade? The riff was what came first, probably while watching the idiot box one evening. I am pretty sure it came very soon after RPM '15, and I…
Like a fine wine, you've matured well over the years, my friend. Nice, juicy, mellowed out sounds with good intensity, an edge of spicyness and a long aftertaste.

This is a track of serendipity (is that how you spell that?) I was hours from deadline, lots of mixing left to do, and this track was FAR from done. I love the congas in this one. In general, this is a fun one for me. For once I actually don't…
Originally conceived as a mellow-ish, Stephen Stills sounding number (at least the verses), then the chorus came to me out of nowhere and turned the whole song on it's ear. I think that was for the better. I have to admit that I surprised myself…
Turn this one up REALLY FREAKING LOUD!
Written, recorded and polished off in about 45 minutes or so. Clearly my British influence shines forth in this one, right down to the SG through a Vox amp tones and backward riffs here and there. (and…

Man, we need to find a way to stop time. I suspect a month outside of reality would yield some pretty amazing music if we got all of our musical cronies together in a studio house in the mountains.
A song about being self-centered, it needed to be full of angst and antagonism, but also needed the glimmer of something bigger still. Already people have sent me notes, which I am grateful for, but everyone seems to misinterpret the meaning of…
I've been obsessed with this song since I watched a Rick Beato video that called out how the awesome guitar solo was criminally buried in the mix. Plus, it's yacht rock, and if there's one thing I love, it's yacht rock. So I set out to record…
The August 2023 30 Day Songs prompt came from a list of ChatGPT country song names a friend posted to Facebook. I started off trying to make fun of the genre and instead wrote a song I think I sorta like. Rumor is there's a second mix floating…
Here we stand beneath the sky
Take my hand as time rolls by
Here we stand, nobody else around
Did we land on solid ground?
Along the ledge
Side by side
So near the edge
Of the great divide
For Heaven's sake
I have no doubt
The steps…
The last wood of the season burning
Another winter - see you on the other side
After everything has died
The last leaves of the season falling
Soon the air will be filled with dark and doubt
And the fire's going out
The last night of…
This one is short and to the point. Dedicated to those with with guts to fly in the face of conformity and live their best life. I try but it's hard to detox after all these years. Recorded as part of the August 2022 RPM - Record Every Month challenge…
Based on a riff brought back to life after many years, and remembrance of a childhood fever dream. Wrap this in the context of the past two years and this is the musical result.
Sometimes life knocks you down and decides to kick a few times for good measure. It can be hard to push though at times, but it’s important to persevere because it can and will get better. This is a song about staying strong and remaining hopeful…
Since venturing beyond twenty atmospheres, our intrepid explorers were assumed lost forever. Never underestimate the human spirit and instinct for survival, especially when it’s fueled by a defiant shanty.
There are too many battles to fight in life, sometimes it's best to just walk away.
Written & recorded Aug 2021 as part of the RPM Challenge: Record Every Month Challenge

Can you hide in happiness
Can you disguise the sadness in your voice
Could you play only major chords
Can you hide in happiness
Choose a part of you to show
And no one around you can know
Just how deep the scars go
Can you hide in…

You know, sometimes life can be a real rollercoaster ride
Sometimes I'm free and easy, sometimes I just wanna fight
It's…
One of my latest songs
All instruments and voals by me

Sometimes I wonder : Can we go on like this?
Sometimes I wonder what it is that we miss
I'm getting bored with the way things go
We have to…
Now with more awesomeness! Thank you to This Wretched Vessel Lead vocalist for adding in some Gang vocals to beef up the chorus. Also borrowing their percussionist for some tambourine to give the song some extra pop!
You know I can’t think…
We decided to give the kids an outlet that wasn’t pandemic or lockdown based this February, and made an album as a family for the RPM Challenge 2021. It was just the most precious, funny, brilliant month.
This song is incredibly special in so, so many ways. I am sitting here, just listening...it's another piece of sheer perfection. Words can't do it justice.

And there's something really uplifting about this one. Each time the chorus comes round... fab. Cool guitar sounds too - over the whole album - but I love them here.
And this one - I'm always a sucker for descending bass-lines!
On first listen, this was one of the standout tracks for me.
Well that was a very enjoyable 40 minutes - loved it all the way through - nice one, cool album Gary.
A rocking great way to start a Saturday! Great energy in this one!
Man....always SO good!
Like a fine wine, you've matured well over the years, my friend. Nice, juicy, mellowed out sounds with good intensity, an edge of spicyness and a long aftertaste.
Very nice.
Excellent. I like your vocals non double-tracked.
Oh hell yes.
Crazy blend of styles. Instant fave.
...I may need to cover this track someday. So friggin good. Maybe your strongest vocals ever.
Such a gem, this track. Crazy good opening riff. Every time I hear this, I wish I'd written it... And I sure as hell wished I'd sung it.
Where has this been hiding. I may need to go delving into the Fox deep track stacks.
Oh, there's the love.
Oh, hell yes.
Fab!!
This is just crazy good. I wish I'd written it.

Whoa. So very, very cool.
Oh my my.... This is all kinds of brilliant.
Brilliant melody and excellent vocal delivery on this one!
Perfection again.
Perfection.
The dynamics, that freaking chorus. Instant hit.
This is fantastic.
Dude...brilliant
Killer riff!
Great tune, killer cut!
Wow, just...wow. This is a 'close your eyes and just listen without distraction' song.
Well, that was absolutely perfect. Pure, luscious perfection.
Oh, great piano work right out of the gate. This has a great mood and vibe to it. Sweet!
I really like the feel of this cut. It's really earthy and spacious at the same time. Cool track!
Oh wow...so, so good. The song just came pouring out of my speakers and filled up the room.
The essence of punk.
Dude...this rules.
Wow...this is amazing.
This song is incredibly special in so, so many ways. I am sitting here, just listening...it's another piece of sheer perfection. Words can't do it justice.
Yeah, wow, perfect...just perfect.
