If at a want for lyrics, why not start reading the labels of the objects around you... Thanks to Mike Brown for providing the slide parts.
Meet my old time friend
He is the seventh branded man
Jack x2
And back in Tennessee
He was the…
Second of two songs on the album about trying to be a better person. The first was about people not trying, this is about struggling (and kinda failing) to be a better person than you have been. Slide parts courtesy of Gary...
Don't think for…
This one is about how falling in love kind of involves giving up any say in whether or not your heart gets trampled. It's about that fear. Gary doing a sterling job as usual on lead guitar..
She's amazing
Beauty holds no bounds
and her voice…
Have no idea where this one came from. I was strumming away and the words just came out. Seems to be about some kind of wrongdoing in the past. May have been possessed. Thanks again to Gary for helping out on lead..
In sleepy towns through…
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
I'm gonna call you dirty from…
Just a fragment.. but thought it was worth including..
If I were to lose you now
I don't know that I could cope
Please don't leave me now, don't go
You're my only hope.
Hey I like your album cover. The sticker design on the bottom right has a nice edgy design feel to it. It just pops. Nice work on the artwork and the music, well the music of course!
This provides a theory which ties together two of my key traits a) always tired b) terminally disappointed by peoples lack of courtesy - there's a link people!
Did you ever feel so down
That you didnt know up
Didnt recognise highs
And smiles…

Just letting out my frustration at 'people' in general again.. nice to be able to vent it in a more pleasant way (for those interested in how I used to do it, please see http://alonetone.com/boynamedsu) :)

really like the mix of the raw chug and the backing vocal woo type bits on this one. Tone of your vocal is an asset too, and you can really hear it on this one. A very natural advantage that! Like the more speaky part especially.
this is a song that came from the pain of dealing with idiots that just dont get it on a daily basis. newest mix tries to deal with vocal vs instruments imbalance.
theres alot of idiots out there to write about! I often feel lucky to have music to vent or else I dont know where I'd be.
Really catchy melody here. Think that ones gonna still be with me come tea time
My take on Gumbo's Keep Your Eye On The Spot, one of many excellent tracks from his RPM2011 album 'Cat's Moustache'. It's something of a departure from the original, though I was trying to retain an element of the gospel so hopefully its soul…
One more to go and I'm slapping them together.
This is 3 layered drum loops. Some dupes and some play along.
I've managed to grow a huge beard this RPM.
I think I'm starting to look like Gandolf. :)
The same name calls me father
Reject the pharaohs promise
Hit one and feign the other
Another pyramid to build
The sky rejects the other
Full frontal luminescent
Hit twice but feeling nothing
Another suicide dispenser
Feel smaller shame the pathetic…
RPM 2011
Seasons start to change without much worry
Ordinary days no reason to remain
The clouds will force the rain realize its glory
Nothing keeps us sane better start to hurry
Slow monkey cabin fever
Free clinic dirty needle
They’ve gone…
RPM 2011
Wait for the room to focus
Feeling around for closure
The whiteness of my skin
The pale reflecting eyes
The beaty of total darkness
Move to the door and open
Room after room of sorrow
Breathing through your mouth
Flooding from your eyes…
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…
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…
nice feel to that. lovely guitar.. really dreamy, atmospheric.. sent me somewhere. somewhere cold, and windy. think it was the mountain on a winters day. was raining too. refreshing though so ta
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…

Were you one of the guys on top of the Apple Records building in 1970? ;-) Nice work!!!!
You have a serious gift for writing good lyrics! This is great!!
Was there a female vocalist in there? Give her more space. Otherwise I really enjoyed this. :)

very different.. and very nice. great vocal. like this alot
bloody brilliant
I love the chords in the chorus in this.. dark, but brilliant. Especially good use of your vocal in the verse and the chorus is a real pay off. Sold.
