When I was small I wanted to be a girl and I didn't even know that was possible! Imagine if I grew up 30 years later - perhaps I would have had a very different life.
Written and recorded for Record Production Month February 2024 for my 10-track…
This song is a bit of a mess, I only had a pre-chorus in mind when I started writing it. But I kept working at it and this is what came out in the end.
It's kind of weird but I like it!
This is such a cool song! I like the harmonies. There’s a lot of layers happening, which made it fun to listen to. You can tell from the intro that it’s an awesome song!
I had this little lick in my head since the summer and it eventually came out into a song.
It's about focused but undirected anger with the world, in general.
I’ve started listing standout tracks for reviews I’m doing for RPM’s (where the project is more than a few tracks long) so wanted to come back to add that to yours, and it’s this track, Mikey! The mix of styles in both the instrumentation/production and the vocals, and each being handled beyond more than competently? And the on-point lyrics? Yeah, this track here, Mikey.
Mikey, this whole RPM is excellent listening!!! Well done all around, and thank you for giving beautiful voice to the kinda anxieties and thoughts we have surrounding this pandemic and the way it’s been and is being handled. Put that with your wonderful production, and it’s art. You are artful! Congrats on the record and RPM completed!

I had this one riff and wanted to do something for August's REM so I just followed the riff through.
Most on humanity is now forced to live on Antarctica, but that's ok because Antarctica is coooool.

Awesome song writing man. Love the backup vox. crank up those guitar trax and it's A-1 top of the line tune.
Oop, that was bukupanda btw, sorry, commenting as guest so forgot to sign my name

You are the metal ukulele king! Love this one
I like your voice! it's really nice and high. Oh and harmony now! I am still learning how to sing...I kind of have a bad voice I think...
