I wasn't even sure the recording machine was still going to work after nearly five years... Certainly, bits of me don't work anymore... But, surprisingly, I got this done in 24 hours, start to finish... Strange old world…

So it has been a while since my last RPM. I felt this song was the best was to reintroduce myself with the insane process that is the RPM Challenge....
Funny situation about a love they refuse to give up on. Need a break every now and then.....
I was a happy boy with you as my girlfriend
You talked me into marriage, we've been fighting ever since
then came the time I didn't cry when you…
A funny song about someone's poor luck in marriage. Not being judgmental, but sometimes we just need to laugh.
My first Ex-wife, she bet me, I'd never marry again
She said no woman with half a brain would have me for her man
Well, I proved…
A song about regrets. Luckily I changed my hectic schedule and was able to spend time with family, especially my Dad before he passed.
If I had time? I'd go visit with my Dad, and listen to those stories of when he was just a child.....If I…
After the visit to Spain in no. 7, I found myself drifting over the continent of Asia for no. 8 !! Hopefully have captured some of the flavours of that area of the World.....
As ever, 13111y supplied the final mastering.....cheers Billy.
Nice one. Like the tinkly motif on the top that's there at the start and the finish... feels like it's been there all the way through... makes me feel like I've been on a journey.
This song scares me. This song stresses me out. This song confuses me. I could write a song about how messed up this song makes me feel.

I struggle with the same sort of thing over songs... it's why I tend to take so long with some - I can't tell whether a song of mine's any good, never can. But often I have a suspicion it might be "WOW" and so I want to give it the best chance of receiving a WOW or two... and so I worry and stress about it until I can't do any better, then I say it's done and post it (or file it, or sometimes bin it). I'm always proud of them, every single one of them, but I never know whether any of them are any good until other people say so. Somehow, when I was young, I set myself up with "if it's popular, it's good pop music", and I'm kinda stuck with that now... too late to change!!

Lyrics:
and i am worn down and i was torn out.
all the things i could've, filled a form right out

So my lovely wife bought me a guitar this week... I started by learning some basic and easy chord shapes and this song came together. It's the first one I've done where everything is played by me.
It also features my voice on lead and backing…
Catching up here... Saw the comment from Sister Savage about vocals at last... and YESS! ... I'd been wondering what your vox would be like ... perfect! (even with the restrictions of iphone). Looking forward to when you get reunited with the kit and finish the other tracks... Meanwhile, love the dreamy vibe on this one.
So, when the current unpleasantness is over, are the MTBottles gonna tour? Mrs R says she expects to catch you at C2C at the O2 in the UK next year... she might even get me out of the house too if you were on the bill

I was asked (told?) to upload something happy. Hmmm, I thought. This will end well...
So, a few days later, I was rehearsing a pleasant little thing I wrote several years ago that has a working title of "She Was…
This is from the band Sam Mann and The Apes sometime in the mid later 80's. Brilliant guitar work from Al Teman. Great playing and singing from a top knotch Hollywood strip band.

Mighty fine album MTC - sorry I didn't spot it earlier.
Oh yesss... I was going to maybe go to bed and listen to this tomorrow... but... change of plan : I'm gonna listen now, sleep can wait :)

Excellent chorus - love the lyric. Yep. Welcome :) ... Looking forward to hearing more of your stuff.

This is another goodie from you guys - loving what you're doing :)
This is utterly utterly FAB, btw ... I've only ever bought two albums off bandcamp, and this is one of them :)
@Jane So dead puppies and 3-In-One in the knicker drawer is ok then? LOL
When are YOU going to do some more stuff? (pretty please) :) :) :)
A rocking return!! We're wondering where you got the loops from? Is it FDR? Is he still about??? I miss him too...
I knew you wouldn't be able to resist!! You missed the bright lights and adulation of alonetone didn't you!!!! :)
Funky rock. Yes indeed. And the lyrics LOL - thems were the days :)
