When the morning sun is
On the horizon
And the birds sing softly
From the trees
As the new day dawns
It welcomes me
And I breathe the air
Of a brand-new day
Well, it’s because I’m in love
In love and sharing life with you
As…
The other day you came to play
On your own, and then you
Made up your mind that love was blind
You’d take what you could find
I knew by the way that you looked at me
I’m in trouble deep
Did you think that I couldn’t see?
Love was on your…
The other day you came to play
On your own, and then you
Made up your mind that love was blind
You’d take what you could find
I knew by the way that you looked at me
I’m in trouble deep
Did you think that I couldn’t see?
Love was on your…
Can you see the morning light?
Grey skies turning blue
Welcome to the new sunrise
It’s all waiting for you
The sun glows hot, majestic Red
As it shines for you
How fast the days, all go by
When you’re no longer in your youth
Such…
Every night, every night I pray
Good Lord gives me another day
Find it in your heart
Give me another start
This I pray, every day
We can never change the past.
Try to make the good times last
Life can pass us by
very fast, and that…
Open your eyes for the revolution
May not have seen it coming, but it’s here
Open your mind to the revelation
It’s time for a digital transformation
Open your world
It isn’t a change that you saw coming
And You won’t take part, just…
Begin to see me, worthy Sailor, navigator
Living on the ocean for days
The spirit of the sea lies below us
Above us, dark skies of gray
I just can’t let it go
The search for the grail has gone cold
But a wreck of a ship lies below us…
With the road flat ahead of me
I push the pedal to the floor
No looking back any more
My future is ahead of me
As for the past I closed the door
I’m leaving all of that behind
Gonna be, better times ahead
Won’t stop until I am dead…
Begin to see me, worthy Sailor, navigator
Living on the ocean for days
The spirit of the sea lies below us
Above us, dark skies of gray
I just can’t let it go
The search for the grail has gone cold
But a wreck of a ship lies below us…
Begin to see me, worthy Sailor, navigator
Living on the ocean for days
The spirit of the sea lies below us
Above us, dark skies of gray
I just can’t let it go
The search for the grail has gone cold
But a wreck of a ship lies below us…
Begin to see me, worthy Sailor, navigator
Living on the ocean for days
The spirit of the sea lies below us
Above us, dark skies of gray
I just can’t let it go
The search for the grail has gone cold
But a wreck of a ship lies below us…
Some interesting changes from songs 4 to get to this point, and even more interesting changes in this song. Feels like a good tune to sum up the album with. Well done on you 2021 RPM!
Set em up one at a time
Then knock em down to ease my mind
I‘m just trying to unwind
From a world that’s less than kind
And I’m just trying to decide
Were you just wasting my time?
The thought has come to my mind
We’re at the end of the…
Feels like a departure form the opening three songs while still maintaining cohesion. Very interested to see where the rest of the album goes from here.
They do it all the time
Prey upon your fears
Hang around them long enough
They’ll Play you like their fool
Play you like the lottery
Time and time again
You see things never change
You’re nothing but their fool
Do it once or do it…
Was Passing Through
I only Stopped to stay the night
As the morning came
I sped off into the light
I can go anywhere
I’ll go anywhere I like
Wish you were with me
On this wild ride
Wish you were with me
Riding through the night…
You’re feeling that you’re broken
And your door’s no longer open
Don’t you ever, ever give up
For all the words unspoken
And the thoughts that were provoking
Don’t you ever, ever give up
But tonight, you have it right
So, get out there…
Preacher man, Holy man
I know who you are
Take our money you won’t get far
Take the cash, in a flash
Off in a limousine
I know who you are
Cause I know who you are
Mission man, Holy man
hand in the jar
I know who you are
Get the stash…
Nice sound. Your sound is similar to The Mighty Men and Joe "Spuds" Riekert, two guys that came onboard this year from RPM. They're cool guys and have some nice stuff. Good work :
Lately it seems, I don’t know what I’m living for
Occasionally, I feel so unsure
And I know this world holds so much more
Seems to me, don’t know who I am any more
I don’t really know what I stand for
But I’ve been held down for too long…
Can’t you find a way, to get
Closer to me
Don’t think about leaving,
Think about me
Don’t throw it away
You’re all that I have
You’re all that I need
Look at me falling, lady
Head over heels
Doesn’t that move you baby?
Closer to…
Can’t you find a way, to get
Closer to me
Don’t think about leaving,
Think about me
Don’t throw it away
You’re all that I have
You’re all that I need
Look at me falling, lady
Head over heels
Doesn’t that move you baby?
Closer to…
When you talk about me you always put
Me down
You always say I’d be better off
Under ground
You were really holding back tonight
Alright
You offered me a second shot
But why?
It Doesn’t matter what I say
It Doesn’t matter what I…
Broken things on my window sill
Remind me every day
Of my constant lean towards failure
Always getting in my way
Perpetual disappointment
I never follow through
Can't count on me for nothing
I'll only disappoint you
There's a war in…
Side A of RPM Challenge
This song is based on one of the many stories about being granted three wishes.
0:00-0:57, a man finds a trapped bird and frees him only to find the bird is a magical creature called the forest king
0:58-1:30, the man…
Raised on vinyl and a needle that rides
To a paper circle at the end of both sides
Between the speakers, cover in hand
Sit in silence after Jungleland
I will not trade one bit of my soul for their pieces of gold
I've seen a world they'll…
I Hope I Love Them - A A J Russe
Written sometime in 1989
Recorded 2nd March 2022
The Shoebox Demos Vol 1
****
This one has tugged at me for many many years.
I absolutely adored it from the moment I wrote it in 1989... But I thought…
This started out as a joke from a meme and then, well.....
Wilsun did his best imitation of Bruce Dickenson in the bridge
Dan Upton played the heavy guitars in the bridge and the solo you like
Time to self-assess
You still want to be so…
(Remastered 22/10/2021)
I wrote this one last September.

I can see you on your rocking horse now
The one that turned around and kicked you in the teeth

Comments on Day 13's stuff
Well, THIS is lovely.
I love the intro!
Has a sort of Tiger Army vibe to it and I love it.
An excellent set of tracks... work Zoom meetings kept interrupting my enjoyment, though!!
Nice one - I hope this is the start!
Very nice, happy little rocker here. Great singing.
This is great!
Rock on!!
Cool rock tune! Awesome guitar work and all the changes are amazing. I hope you guys are doing RPM 2022 too :)
WoW! Great drone. Love the dissonance.
Some interesting changes from songs 4 to get to this point, and even more interesting changes in this song. Feels like a good tune to sum up the album with. Well done on you 2021 RPM!

This one is wonderfully outside the realm "pop." This is a great song.
Fantastic opener to the album, so full of life!
Once again, nice work ! Nice to hear a familiar sound and era.
Nice sound. Your sound is similar to The Mighty Men and Joe "Spuds" Riekert, two guys that came onboard this year from RPM. They're cool guys and have some nice stuff. Good work :
Nice vocals. I like the simple, open space this song has. Good job:)
Yah that’s a good vocal, nice
Beautiful song. Amazing vocals
I'm right in thinking these earlier posted tracks are the later recorded ones? Slightly different feel - loving them all.
