everybody's waiting for the light
but we don't need the sun to show our bright side
strip away the veil before your eyes
wading in with nothing on our minds
good morning swimmers
if you should respond to our invite
you may even come…
we can see all the damage done
well you might be the lucky one
i can see where you're coming from
you just might be the fortunate one
this is my final run, this is
i can breathe when the race is run
and i might be the only one
you can…
Don't shiver when it's cold outside
Don't confuse a sense of place with pride
We're first to see by the dawn's early light
From the desk of Mr. Hortense Binette
Change the stationary header make it say
"We're all connected by the radio…
when i was telling all the other kids i was 13
the hotel has a pool, it has a couple of vending machines
with all my story telling done, i went home to mow the lawn
i fell under the blades and now my summer dreams are gone
that's just one…
spoon full of sugar in the mouth
far too sweet had to spit it out
now by bitterness replace
a winterfresh, peppermint taste
it still lingers on your breath
on your lips, the kiss of death
so have another piece of cake
wash it down with…
Hey, can I see the little treasure that you found?
Tell me where did you find it, was it lying on the ground?
Well this treasure that I found was just lying on the ground
Out in the pouring rain
Tell me, from me to you, what's it going to…
in a deck of 52
dressed to the 9's in red and black suits
4 kings to give the orders
all absent minded fathers
4 queens to run for cover
forever missing mothers
2 jokers, they're the brothers
one in monochrome, the other full colour…
I'm wishing someone can go for a ride
I'm wishing, I'm wishing you well
I've got something that's growing inside
I'm hoping, I'm hoping I'm well
we got no backbone
we got no soul
we've got no back-up plan
no one can know
why you go rushing…
i set a wire in the woods
on a cold dark night when no one should be out
i was alone for a time
when the rabbits start to run the rings around my eyes
watching the shadows come to life
under cold, stark gaze of electric light
already hungry…
she's got a confident way of talking
knows where she's going when she walks
her fashion sense is never shocking
but it says "she's a boss"
it says "she's on top"
there is no question she can't answer
whether it's secular or trife
she…
I'm wishing someone can go for a ride
I'm wishing, I'm wishing you well
I've got something that's growing inside
I'm hoping, I'm hoping I'm well
we got no backbone
we got no soul
we've got no back-up plan
no one can know
why you go rushing…
I'm wishing someone can go for a ride
I'm wishing, I'm wishing you well
I've got something that's growing inside
I'm hoping, I'm hoping I'm well
we got no backbone
we got no soul
we've got no back-up plan
no one can know
why you go rushing…
back where i was born
you learn pretty early on to leave well enough alone
just settle in and watch the world around you spin
there's nowhere else to go when you live in a snow globe
i knew this kid who couldn't wait to pack it in
and break…
don't ask me out to a movie
cause i'm not gonna go
don't tell me you're having a party
cause i already know
it's an 80's theme
i saw it in my stream
but i didn't accept or decline
i just said maybe
and maybe means no
maybe always means…
Way cool song, I like the changes and the set up for the solo break -- the drums are very 'in your face' but I'm sure I will appreciate the mix more when I play this on my home system instead of my work machine!
Album: How the Aviator Sees the Rainbow
Year: RPM Challenge 2008
Pour vous Tess.
Is there a ghost in these hills?
Something to run from
I've given way to cheap thrills
Problems have just begun
I walk alone, sink like a stone in…
1st of 10 "Off the cuff" songs I wrote just before the great flood.
I haven't really had a chance to work on any but this one. This is different than the rest of them. All I did was turn on a drum machine and played and sang what ever popped into…
Cover of the Blondie song, from the Plastic Letters album, vocal inspired by Sonic Youth's version of the Carpenters Superstar off of Juno soundtrack. This mixdown made on 7th March 2011, tracks recorded late Feb / early March.
Cover of the Joy Division classic, with a little drum'n'bass thrown into the mix
This version from September 2010
The youtube version is my original recording going back to 1997.
This is just another middle of the road pile of trot, this time about the amazing instant classics I write, but am so protective of that I daren't let any of you hear. No one will ever hear them. Sorry, but I'm afraid this shite will just have…
Hey Alex..thanks..glad you like it..i doubt we'll be doing UK dates anytime soon but we do have friends in Ireland so you never know..i just downloaded Here It Isn't...brilliant stuff..cheers
rpm 2011
Taking taking all her money
Taking taking all her sweat
Taking taking all her money
Taking taking all her tears
What do you give back? (shark attack)
Taking taking all her love
Taking taking all her life
Taking taking all her love
Taking…
Final version
Day 28
Anyone else still writing songs?
this is the result of trying to listen to too many mixes in one day. Sometimes it's just easier to record something else.
incredible album gumbo..i'm going to download this to the ol'pod so i can listen to it in the car and at work...love it..reminds me of all my old folk/blues/bluegrass fav's like roscoe holcomb, bukka white, bill monroe, son house, dock boggs, blind willie mctell, tampa red, etc....great job
Final version
An unaccompanied song about bedtime. Not a lullaby though. Oh no!
What does anyone think of the 'cat's moustache' line - it seems like that's a make or break call right there and i like it when i read it but it's hard to sing without…
Final version
One of my heroes. Willie McTell was blind from birth and travelled all over the south in the thirties at a time when many people would never go more than 20 miles from their home.
Plus nobody sings the blues quite like him…
Final version
RPM 2011 - my first track recorded and the opening track for the CD
A kind of Old Time gospel number, which, if you listen to those pre-war guitar playing preachers, are virtually indistinguishable from blues. Except for the lyrics…
