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…
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…

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…

You do have a lot of ideas with Mr soul, bring him with you in June, there is plenty of room in the cellar............ like the marriage between the guitars on the solo and the tinkle on the keys....yes....yes indeed

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…
This is about my Nan who in some ways was more like a second mum...
You wont be gone when you leave me,
You wont be gone x 2
Cos while I'm alive til the day I die
You'll linger on when you leave me
You'll linger on
I remember how your…
Such a pretty song Alex. Good vocal too. I could say something in answer to your comment to me the other day but I will ignore that and just say great stuff by Gary.

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…

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
Thanks for not covering the Extreme song. ;)
A little bit Rolling Stones, a little bit glam. I like it!
Good vocal Alex. Nice banjo!
Same as last time plus wow!!!
i like the changes it's rather jolly and rocking that must make you a jolly rocker.... Builds into an excellent and that guitar at the end......
that solo is deadly!!
Just click play
Wow I could believe this was Buffalo Springfield!
thanks for the comments, Alex. Nufff said :-) this is wonderful - right up my alley. I'm going to love your album this year!
You do have a lot of ideas with Mr soul, bring him with you in June, there is plenty of room in the cellar............ like the marriage between the guitars on the solo and the tinkle on the keys....yes....yes indeed
Great lyrics "If the devil can't change what chance has a man" a sad story well sung. good outlaw rift on the banjo too........
Again ...like "Jekyll" nice... Jarvo
Nice ...nuff said. Jarvo
Such a pretty song Alex. Good vocal too. I could say something in answer to your comment to me the other day but I will ignore that and just say great stuff by Gary.
Yes, pretty indeed!
Killer idea, i had to jump back around to catch all the pieces
Love the lyrics and the whole feeling around this one! Great vocals as always, you've good a good set of wind pipes there Alex.
Thanks for the listens Alex, glad you enjoyed it! I wish i had more time this month to work on it...
Heart strings just went ping! Wonderful tribute, Mr Moody.
nice blend

like this one alot. hits the mark. like the fragility.

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!
