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
In Tenessee
Where my love
was born
Two young men upped and
crossed the yard
both cold cos it was rainin hard.
One of them turned said…
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

must start logging in before commenting. thems was me. Anyway.. enjoyed everything thus far but kinda glad to hear this one last a bit longer. Gives a bit more chance to get into it.. the others were ending about the time i was in the flow of them.
delivery of it all though is charming.. delicate. like it. tip top
really enjoying this stuff at the moment. So chilled. but not in the slightest bit dull or uninteresting. Exactly the kind of music i feel like at the moment.
Grew out of my frustration at having to sing, play all the instruments, and engineer my own recording...
Baby, Would You Be My Engineer?:
Baby, would you be my engineer
and keep my headphones sounding clear?
I desperately need someone…
Bluegrass banjo, southern rock drums, goofy synths, vocoded chorus, and DnB rhythms. Technically has a NSFW word in the lyrics, but probably not discernable.
Thanks for listening to my album, "Love ZZZV"! This opening track is still my favourite of the nine because it features nothing I'd call a mistake and still leaves me in wonder just as to how I wrote it. The extended, classic tracker-style soloing…
i am a brand new fan of chiptune and one of your very own creation.. as of when I saw your thread on RPM. Something about these sounds make me feel awesome!! Definitely high up in my top five RPMers so far (top actually.. but dont tell anyone else) ;)
one more for the road. and well worth it.. awesome.. again guitar had me hooked straight away. similar in style to the Hot Tuna I was listening to earlier. Really am hitting sack now.
really enjoyin this album so far. First track.. nice and short entices you in. Guitar on the second track is immense and this uns good too. off to bed now cos im SHATTERED. but will be listening to the rest soon!
Let me introduce to you
Every woman child and man
The place I did my growing up
Raised by grandma's hand
I think you'll find
That folks are kind
They're sure to ask you in
Enter the warmth
Close the door
And my story will begin…
Well I been playing the blues for so long
Kinda feel like playing jazz x 2
I dig the random instrumentation.
Play this in eight over three and a half
I been playing the blues for so long, make me feel like tryna rap x 2
I think I'll call…
you tell me what you want
you tell what you need
i cant give you nothing honey
but this pretty little seed
where has the sun gone
and is it gone forever
will it come back someday
should we just give it some time
i ask you what…
This one was inspired by Wen's mom; and is therefore dedicated to all those musicians doing RPM, and all musicians who toil away at home to make their music despite what their friends & co-workers might think of their efforts.
Remastered the levels slightly on 3/4/09.
An attempt at a progressive metal-inspired piece with time signature changes.
Moral of the story: Kind of a demented play on Charlotte's Web - if you give somebody wings and they hate your guts…
What an experience.. glad i had my headphones on for this one. Alot of it would have been lost on my crappy laptop speakers. Nothing obvious here... was literally surprised every couple of seconds. class.
Comments on A Bit More Better Productions's stuff
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!

i like this lovebot. but she's getting a bit serious. it was one date..
like this one alot. hits the mark. like the fragility.
certainly different!

In fact.. now they ALL have lyrics in the 'about' tab!!! All of 'MAKE DO & MEND' anyway.. comments welcome.. cheers chaps
Now with lyrics in the 'about' tab - good idea Tim, cheers!
Really good this. Like a modernised Velvet Underground on Loaded. me like.
by far my favorite out of what you came up with this year Chris. So personal sounding.. really endearing i think.
could have sworn i was logged in.. anyway.. that was me!
that was an unsigned in me!! Great stuff. Fits the mood here right now too. Is good how you do that. :)
Liking your style.
What an awesome intro and ensuing track! Not a single RPMer that wont be feeling this one!! Think I'll get a boat..
Loved every last drop. Right up my street this one!
