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…
I don't know why, but for a few seconds I hated this, then my brain wised up :) Excellent track!! and as everybody else has mentioned - great vocal. Look forward to your album this year :)

First one for RPM 2011. This track has existed in my head to a greater or lesser extent for years but never got round to recording it. Now I have. :)
It would never have ended if it had been down to me
It would have blossomed, would have grown…

Evening old boy - I've done something fairly bizarre with this track. When I first got hold of the cd, before I had acccess to the lyrics, I completely misinterpeted (and mis-heard) them. I've written down what I thought I heard, which makes the words come from the point of view of a manipulative (and probably abusive), but slightly ashamed partner. I'll let you have then sometime, for interest. (Probably the greatest insult you can ever pay a songwriter!)

When they make the film about my life and times later down the line I'd like you to do the soundtrack? That ok? Makes me feel like im in a film, locked in dark contemplation. eerie. catchy. good. :)
This one.. believe it or not.. helped me sort out a problem thats been buggin me.. then, it turned out the title was exactly the conclusion I'd come to. Freaky!
A WildGeas and CaveStreet collaboration
some say once upon a time
there was a line
that was never meant to be crossed
if ever that occurred
you might have heard
an innocence would have to be lost
but having crossed that line
I can…
The first WildGeas and Cave Street collaboration
There ain't nothin' I could buy
that can ever calm me down
So I leave my money at home
when I go into town
I put on my fightin' hat
an' I wear my dancin' shoes
An' if I miss my ride…
Lyrics:
I’ve been meaning to get drunk and try to forget you.
Instead, I’m finding new ways to just upset you.
Baby, I just can’t stay in my mind,
Unintended and unsung, just like all the bad bad things I’ve done.
Baby, that’s and old…
Lyrics:
Well you know everything is changing, you can’t tell which way to go.
It’s just booze, guns, and acid, and one huge pile of blow.
I gotta make some corrections, it’s not hard to see.
Maybe find myself a holy man to take this devil…
Lyrics:
I spend all my time with no one
And I just live with my mistakes.
I’m so tired of being lonesome.
This is more than I can take.
I can’t wait, I can’t wait…
For someone I can hold on to.
For a love that will be true.
For someone…
awesome. love the lyrics in this one particularly but noticing more and more how strong they are throughout. you doing RPM this year? Hope so. If so. Cant wait. piano? geetar? bit of both?
Lyrics:
Mama, quit talking crazy.
We both know you’re never gonna leave me, baby
Because you’re scared to.
We got us a history
But love is only a drugstore mystery, baby,
That I don’t care to read.
This ain’t real, baby.
We both know…
Lyrics:
I don’t want to live to see that it’s over
But I don’t want to leave before my time.
So here’s what I’m gonna do.
No, no, baby, I ain’t gonna lose you,
I’ll just meet up with you further on down the line.
Well I can’t tell myself…
Well, what can I say here? I knew I wanted to do this one with a pseudo dark, smoky old jazz club feel. I kind of pulled it off, but not completely. The song itself was a happy accident riff. I picked up my acoustic, threw a capo on for fun and…
The horn line came first, I started humming it in the garage one very cold morning in Feb. I was stuck for a title, until a friend used Kismet in a sentence. It's a fun bouncy number, though the mix is kind of bad.
So this one was a melody I had floating around for a couple of years. It originally came to me in driveway while getting the car. Who knew that walking around from the passenger side to the driver's side could be so inspirational. Anyway, I originally…
I really debated uploading this one. It's kind of weak production wise, but it was part of the album. You may love it, hate it, but I decided to keep everything intact. Warts and all...
So, I start playing my Guild acoustic. However, the strings were new and had gone all slackish, meaning down a few tones. I liked what it sounded like and took them all off. I then restrung the gtr with super heavy guage acoustic strings. I then…
The title track. I still like this one, though it is somewhat dense, sonically speaking. Another song where I think I pulled of the lyrics relatively well.
agree with the fella about the groove of this one. like riding a wave. awesome. like the disintegration at the end too. good move. Was that backwards vocals?
One of my favorite songs of all time and one of my favorite voices.
Thanks M.T.
My Skin
Some days I’m fine
Yeah some days I feel sublime
All the time
But then there’s days
I wanna crawl out of my skin
And leave it in
