When You Least Expect It
And you're out to dry
And its all too hectic
Thats when it comes x 2
And it feels electric
And you feel alive
Cos when you least expect…
Thanks for the encouraging words, Alex! There are plenty of options out there for making 8-bit sound; the one I used is a free application called FamiTracker, from famitracker.shoodot.net. More popular is the cartridge LSDJ for the original Gameboy, but that costs money and I love my freeware! Excepting the one copy of Fell Plot I sent to RPM, I don't have any of my music in print so I can't really make any trades, but I'll stick around and listen to some of your songs. :)
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…

I heard a story about you
I didnt want it to be true
But it felt like it might
You, well it was all about you
and how the things that you do
Seem strangely undone
And life doesnt help out the weak
A lifetime tends to bring you some…

It aint like no ones done this before
But how can you tire of beautiful chords
In the fifties
In Tenessee
Where my love
was born
Two young men upped and
crossed the yard
both cold cos it was rainin hard.
One of them turned said…

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
in the green grass
Oh my dear fine lady
oh my dear green lady
underneath the roof
where we are lazy
I raise my eyebrow and wink
forgetting about…
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

A righteous slab of blues, if ever I heard one! 8-D

I think this is my fave from your album. But then I'm a sucker for a good blues tune.
Stunning! The time of song I would been happy if it carried on for 10 minutes or so.
