Admital - the main guitar part for this was written and recorded for last RPM (shock horror!)but I had to give up on it when the file corrupted. Managed to salvage the audio though so rebuilt it around that. This year I managed to mix down just…
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.

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) :)
Lo and behold now holy guacamole if…

Haunting!
And liking the confession. :-) But as you know, it's a personal challenge. Almost half of my cd was recorded by (a) other people and (b) in 2009, so...you know.
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…

Wow, what a tribute. Kinda Neil Young vibe. (I always fancied that scrubbing by the fire thing, but was several decades too late.)
"Very well put together," says Husband. And he doesn't mean me.
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...

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..

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

At long last, the seventh of the seven unfinished songs from my failed 2007 RPM is now finished! It's Miller Time! It's only six years late, but it's done. So tell me, are the congas and the triangles and the strings with the tremolos over…
Leave your best behind
They say your life is nothing more
Than the blinking of an eye
And everything you say or do
In a moment flashes by
And in the end what is left of you
Are the memories that unwind
They tell the tale of the one they…
my dear fine lady
oh my dear green lady
underneath the tree where it is shady
just the two of us

Oh my dear fine lady
oh my dear green lady

This is a song I just recorded. I wrote the music for it a while ago, and may have even posted it up here as an instrumental. I decided it was time to write lyrics. It went slow, I got fragments, and it was looking like it was going to be a totally…
nothing worth hoping for. Great line/title. Something of Johnny Cash in the vocal delivery for me. No bad think. The guitar tracks really nice too. Nice rugged feel

You've got something genuine going on with your music.
So soulful. Full of soul. So.
Fabulous!
Holy guacamole! This year's Calligraphy, me thinks! Awesome!

I'm really loving your lone singer-songwriter arrangements this year, Alex. Really shows off the quality of your song-writing and your GREAT voice.

This one has a Celtic rock feel to it. Very nice.

You guys made some fine magic here.

I really enjoyed listening to your RPM songs. Thanks fellas. Super Job!!!
Golly, now I'm a damn groupie! Great effort for RPM Alex. I am impressed!!
This is a hit Alex. Nice changes. Rock and Roll!!!
This reminds me of...........me! I guess that's a good thing right?
This is a nice, foot tapping mover. I like the piano work and the driving rhythm.
Love the piano in this one.
Great stuff man!
strawberry? hehe Never heard that one. You guys do make a good duo...
Good grief, did you get this vocal from the bottom of your boots? What a range, boy! Love the music also - kind of haunted slide guitar fairground.
