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…
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…

Just been through your RPM tracks on your homepage and this one stands out. I usually hate this sort of track but for some reason I am really digging this (Thank You is the other stand out track)!
Thanks for your comments on my track by the way, hope RPM is treating you good!

Hell yes Johnny Cash meets....er somebody else...I dig the arrangement and to and fro of the 'Cash' type part and the higher vocal.
Well chuffed with this ,great job.

This is a song about finding momentary escape from the pain of loss.. and having it interrupted by the realisation that it's the anniversary of the day it all started;
Some days I get up
and I go to the park
and I sit in the dark
and I think…

this is one i have to stop tweaking - six versions and i still don't get what i hear in my head
would love some crit for this one as it's doing my head in
thanks
I'm tired now, and I think I'll take a few days off from RPM. I need one more tune and that shouldn't be to tough to do.
Thanks everyone,
I'll be in touch soon.

Something you don't often hear from me and that's
straight drummin'. On this track I left the
original L/R kit track because it just sounded
more raw and nasty. Listen close and you'll hear different levels on the high hat. Plus, you can…
This is brilliant. I need to give this album a proper listen once I've wrapped up the challenge (nearly there!) - in fact I need to listen to loads of the finished articles.. anyone know if there will be a big page of them like last year... Su?!
Well, song 10 finally. A bit on the heavy side, some odd FX, strange vox, an Ibanez, The ever present harmonica, and some help from Illegal Alien Autopsy.
This was the first song I tracked for RPM. But, since my pen has run out of ink this month…
An odd tune - took time to grow on me but I like it. Still a little sick, hence the froglike vocals and negligent production.
A song about the Rock of Gibraltar
All done on the Boss Micro BR
Long Goodbyes
You say your life is disgusting…
wouldnt have thought that would work.. mario on his keyboard and luigi playin mad ass drums.. it does though, infectious, and its going to be playin in my head when i try and sleep tonight.. thanks for that ;)
Based around a fragment I came up with around 10 years ago in University believe it or not, while I was learning to play guitar. As you can see, I was homesick. :) Thanks so much to Gary for adding a bit of spice with the bass, lead guitar and…
A folky ballad about the trials and tribulations that happen during home recording, in this particular case using a Boss microBR.

Let me tell you all a story, most of it is true,
a strange and twisted…
im living this song at the momment! great track.. reminds me of what i like about shel silverstein/dr. hook. Also shades of Nilsson when he was feeling jovial.. I love that stuff! Loving the crazy middle section too.. Thanks for the comments by the way.. much appreciated!
Again i'd love some feedback
I like the feel and the mix
do the lyrics work?
recorded t'night in an hour after trying all day to get the verse lyrics rammed into another tune
Comments on A Bit More Better Productions's stuff
i like the melody it wont be gone when the song leaves me and the harp is a class touch and a great vocal too.......
i think i speak for both of us when i say thats exactly what we were going for regs!!! :)
There still there.....
This brings to mind, Two mexican cockroach's are in a stand off on the kitchen sink both wanting the crumb .A italian western plays on the TV reflected on the taps. and the music plays......

great catchy tune!!!
Faved from the opening notes... Reminiscent of some of Matthew Sweet's best stuff! Great track, Alex!
Wow, this is a pro mix, bro! And a great tune, too - You are one heluva songwriter!
nice and Beatley like the approach
Love that beginning guitar great overall sound
I had to download this one. It's a keeper :)
Classic sound of the seventies type glam rock bands....you maybe don't want to read that but ...that's how it is.!! 80) Rock on! Jarvo
Hell yes Johnny Cash meets....er somebody else...I dig the arrangement and to and fro of the 'Cash' type part and the higher vocal. Well chuffed with this ,great job. Jarvo
I really like your voice, very early Pink Floyd to my ears. Great flipping song here, love those harmonies. You are quite the arranger/songwriter.
Wow what a soulful delivery! love your vocals mate!
Good emotional song with a touching interpretation.
Comments made by A Bit More Better Productions
perfect accompaniment to my relaxing sunday morning bathtime.. cheers!
very dreamy.. conjures a nice image
What a great idea this is.. the melody and the delivery of it contrast perfectly to create something unique. chipper
charming.. very..
nothing valuable to offer critique wise i'm afraid, other than to say that as usual this was thoroughly enjoyed.
reminds me of something.. think it might be corpses in their mouths by ian brown.. but only in a mild way.. great feel.. very delicate
great playing chappy.. lovely stuff

love hearing harmonica in something this dark and heavy.. brilliant. great sound on the riff too. nice one chappy!
this is class! reminds me of some of the kinks stuff.. perfick
this is brilliant. great sound to it (especially the vocals). and the lyrics are class
wouldnt have thought that would work.. mario on his keyboard and luigi playin mad ass drums.. it does though, infectious, and its going to be playin in my head when i try and sleep tonight.. thanks for that ;)
wow.. that was incredible.
here's the first Gary!! Thanks again so much for all the help...
i like rhythm track A, I like rhythm track B, but which is better? There's only one way to find out.. fight!!
really enjoyed this. quite a journey.. glad i had my headphones on for it or else i might have missed bits. Bass is so fat too, great sound..
oh my god.. amazing guitars!
love the harmonica on this one..
