This time paying homage to grandpa. Did I miss any dead folks out this album?
I often stop and think of William
Up on Skinners Ridge
He passed me on his way back down
As I passed from being a kid
A shame you’d say
But aint that the way
Things…
Thank you for being you
No one else would do
Thank you for being you
You're all I ask for
Too many nights alone
tonight I'm coming home
open up the wine cos I'm
gonna be with the one who's shown
Me the ways of old
Women into wives…

RPM 2011 number 2. Inspired by an ex-friend of mine who had the most dazzling rose tinted glasses. Always used to envy the simplicity of his view and how nothing could ever get to him (everything gets to me).. since i knew him I know a lot of…

This song is sort of about making a clean break, killing off the lead character in your story and burying him along with all his sins before the inevitable happens, and the bad guy gets his. Initially came from a jam with my mate Ben Price who…
One of two pretty little interludes for the album, both of which are based around a guitar part Gary did for me. I've put different synth chords behind each of them to cover the two sides of the lady that inspired the full song, Jekyll & Hyde…

A dramatisation of events from school.. hope 'Shaun' never hears this, and if he does, that he likes it in someway, and that things turned out alright in the end..
It was always rainin.
It filled him up
It summed it up
So perfectly
How nothing…
Jekyll and Hyde
are both well and alive
and they're living inside of home
Jekyll is kind to me
Smiles all the time to me
Hyde is a wild arrow from a bow
As much as Jekyll makes you smile
If she drinks herself some wine
You'll be the one that…
I love the summer-ish country feel to this song. The instrumentation really gives a kick to this number. The acoustic instruments sound really pristine. Cool number.

It aint like no ones done this before
But how can you tire of beautiful chords
In the fifties

Two young men upped and
crossed the yard
both cold cos it was rainin hard.

A folksy number inspired by the stories my nan told me many moons ago about her uncle Herbie..
Herein lies the story, of a man named Herbie Jones.
Not a million miles away from a man you might have known.
A miner in the twenties, blue scars…
Thanks to Mike Brown for lending a hand with the lead parts.. despite trying his damnedest not to! Also thanks for MMI for the advice which in part at least, I took!
I'm gonna call you dirty from now on in x2

The lyrics are pretty selfexplanatory; it's about so-called magic-pill-solutions. The doubletracked "guitarsolos" could have been better but I only recorded them on the last day and thought it might be OK a little rough and off. I did them really…
There is a Dutch expression Luchtfietsen/Luchtfietserij which I transated as Skycycling. It's a term for unrealistic plans/dreams. Another recent Dutch expression is Linkse Hobby (leftist hobby/leftwing hobby) which was coined by rightwingers…
'm doing a course in Mandarin Chinese and mamahuhu is one of my favourite words. It means so-so (literally horsehorsetigertiger); "not so good". In this lyric I just allowed myself to whine about my situation; get it over with. I like the harmony…
Technically it's OK; I like the guitar and basslines. The lyrics and vocals I'm not so fond of. I hoped to have enough time to replace this one later in february with a better one but alas, it was not to be...
watch it.. he'll sue! He's done it before and he'll do it again. And he wont let the fact that its almost entirely different stop him. the doors werent safe. Beware Ray Davis. Genius. But complete nob.
Original song: from the album, TheSongOfTheDay.com - June. Featuring our friend, Qadree Holmes on vocals, this song goes out to all Notary Publics everywhere. The song came about when Jason was asked to notarize a few immigration documents for…
Original song: from the album, When I Was Your Age (which started off life as our RPM album for 2009). When I Was Your Age features songs that take a look back at when we were kids. If you're anything like us, Saturday mornings were about two…

4 tracks feedback guitar,
1 drum machine
1 vocal (whistling) track -- not sure if the really out-of-tune parts are cool or awful.
Sorry for killing the comments…
EDIT final version now posted and the page turning is gone but i left this intro as is in case anyone is reading the comments. Does anyone read the comments? or the intro?
i turn a page somewhere in the middle of all this - you'd think i would…
Final version
Guitar, mandolin and voice.
this doesn't fit with my rpm project AT ALL so i may not use it but i like the way it came out. I recorded the music for Bethan Mathis' RPM project but she didn't have time to use it (her album is…
i dont know how. but although i really liked it i didnt fully connect with the power of the emotion in this till this listen. im completely in love with it. i have regular regretful momments. this will be an ideal soundtrack when i need it out of my system
I'm finally happy with this track - v1 was too much of a nothing song and it's been bugging me all the way to the last night of the challenge.
1 more to mix
Final version
Every so often when i'm thinking of something else a western song pops up as if there is a soundtrack to a movie running in the back of my head. I might have to gather em all up into a playlist some day.
track nine, or at least…

Totally pro.
I hear a vibratone! And I thought I was the only guy who had one. ;) *Great* song.
Ah, this DOES move very nicely. You are letting your Little Feat influence shine!
Excellent! Reminds me a bit of "Uneasy Rider" by Charlie Daniels, which is a song I have always wanted to cover.
"I climbed the mountain and the doubting started stopping."
I'm up dancing round the room! A extremely oh so fine trac! w;-)
LOL! Love the humor, then a brilliant vocal! This is excellent! w;-)
I like the high strummed parts interjected periodically with the fuzz parts. Moody number, and I don't mean a pun here. Good stuff.
This is brilliant.
I really like the turn you took this year Alex. This song has some very cool twists and turns. Really a great listen.
And all of a sudden, I realize there's a theme going on here. Love the brief interlude.
Another great rocker. Sweet.
Two of my favorite musicians in one song. Nice.
This is really inventive and cool song. I had to come back and listen twice, just to get a fix on all of the things going on.
I love the summer-ish country feel to this song. The instrumentation really gives a kick to this number. The acoustic instruments sound really pristine. Cool number.
Kick-arse number, love the guitar. The vocals are primo, great high notes. This would be a great song to hear live in a club.
Really enjoy the blend of instruments in this very pretty song. Starts very much like Neil Young.
The sound and words and playing and singing style all work together really well here.
this is a great tune. dynamic and rockin. another sweet set of songs.
another good one!
