Here's a new one. Well, a new old one, actually... And a bit different than the last one!
Something old, something new, something borrowed, and, er, something blue...

Wow! I just really love this. Amazing lyrics and the raw and measured pace of it is so compelling. Thanks for sharing the whole story of how this came to be as well. Keeps me motivated to not hit the delete button too soon.
Well, I'm almost on a roll now - this little love song was written, arranged, and recorded in just a week. I've been meaning to attempt something like this for years, just never got round to it.

Recorded Oct 2010.
It was meant to be a full band pop-rock song. But I started overdubbing on the original exploratory demo I'd done to work out the arrangement (with no click track). I kept coming back to it intending to start afresh... but…

Next in the little pile of songs from the shoe-box. This one has the date 27th January 1994 written on it, but it's describing an episode from many years earlier when I was, I'm guessing, something like 12 or 13 years old.
I had to go to a…

Just realised that I didn't make it obvious in the blurb... I was actually doing my utmost to sound like early ZZ Top once I'd realised what was happening. The vox and instrumental got performed and recorded with that in mind. So I'm kinda relieved/gratified that folks can spot the ZZ Top in there!!

Finally, at last... I've got something finished...
Been working on this for a few weeks.
A bit of a rocker... (and an aging lecherous one at that)
I got it as close as I could and then mixed it loud... I've over-cooked it slightly - but…
NEEDLE'S EYE
the river of time is flowing bright
out into the void of empty night
we gaze at the ripples almost scared of what we’ll find
in search of the past we penetrate
the dream of an everlasting fate
we’re destined to find that…
Having listened to the first two, I was wondering when this started whether you'd have song to fit the rocking intro... no worries!
It's melodic, it rocks.
Loving your guitar playing and guitar orchestration across these songs.
STRING THEORY
A little playful and teasing sigh
A little twinkle in your eye
You’re a Devil, temptress, I am helpless
In front of you
On and off again
I’m your little plaything
Up and down I go
Puppet on a string
You let me go and…
TWICE IN A MILLION
Counted the flowers in my back yard
Dreamt of the games that I won and I lost
Sorted my ties in the closet
Had those old Father’s Day cards arranged
Love is an heirloom of a long time past
Almost not tempting…
Faved from the opening chords - the guitar sound... woo, way to start an album - luckily, the song lived up to it!
Great chorus, verses build up to it nicely.
Love the chords in the middle eight.
Yes!
Our twisted, Psychedelic Folk version of RAIN by the Beatles. Starry Nightmoth performs on the Yamaha E-313 KB, using it's "bag-pipe" setting. This 4:20-long song is best heard on headphones, with the lava and black lamps running, incense burning…
Sing along songs, even if you're too old.
Featuring:
Brent Kinder on bass
Andy Samford on vocals, percussion, and lead guitar
Bob Sorace on vocals and percussion
and Grant even sang along!
Written about a bout of writers block that struck in 2014, basically ending my attempt to complete RPM that year. The topic should be familiar to most of you.
I got a friend, his name is Tim, and he really likes donkey songs.
Letter Seventeen on Mandolin, Banjo, Backing Vocals, Beer bottle, hoots n hollers...
Keyboards (bagpipes) performed by Starry Nightmoth. Lead guitar by George Harrison. Vocals and all other instruments performed by Gene Eric Mann. Thunder and rain by Mother Nature. Lyrics by John Lennon.
Crumbs - this is good... Listening on headphones, wondering whether I've been drinking or not.
Started out as very relaxing - slightly disturbing after a while! lol
The thunder and rain came as a welcome release of the tension.
Really well put together.
SNOW MAN
I'll tell you right now
I don't cry
You might mistake some sweat
for a teardrop in my eye
But, I don't cry
In spite of what you might be thinking
I don't get tired of humble pie
(That's not a tear drop in my eye)
And don…
This was a write it and record it in one session song challenge that my songwriting friends and I came up with this week. Lions and Lambs was started thinking of spring, but it turned into a song about relationships... as they often do.

WRITER’S BLOCK
I went out to the stockyards last night. I don’t get out much but I had an invite.
My buddy, Guthrie Kennard was playing.
The place was full. The band was tight. Whitney Raquel opened the night
And the kids from the 2500 Club…

Nice track, great vocals. Really dig this one
Wow! I just really love this. Amazing lyrics and the raw and measured pace of it is so compelling. Thanks for sharing the whole story of how this came to be as well. Keeps me motivated to not hit the delete button too soon.
Thanks Andy I appreciate you'd ears
Badass, yeah.
Rock & Roll!!
Brilliant great sound, top vocals, all round great track.
Now that's real tasty
wow, pro in all areas.
Nice production on this - powerful guitar sound. You sound American, not English! I've lived in the USA for 40 years and still sound English! Paul
Nice feel and a good vocal. Thanks for commenting on my song, Closer. Paul
Sweet, free swinging guitar sounds. Enviable production. Maybe not single material but still captivating enough!

Groooovy! :) I do hear some ZZ Top there, too!
Not done yet..... Really like this tune... awesome energy!
Southern fried boogie, a la ZZ Top. Delicious! Rock on!

The hardest thing to do I think is to write great rock songs. You have many my friend, real nice, and he sings too!

And this is fabulous. Love the groove, the chords... and the slide parts, wow, they're gorgeous. And a fine song sat on top of it.

Aww LOVE it...
I've got the headphones but not the rest of the recommended paraphernalia... but it worked anyway. Nice one, like it.
Superb stuff. Love the song. And that lead break - now that's what I call Dad Rock!
Yep, if she runs off, you might as well write about her until she comes back. Love the guitars and the jumping groove to this.
This is brilliant.
Awww! A kazoo solo! I bought one a year ago - haven't found a use for it yet (apart from annoying the missus!). Love the sound of this.
Crumbs - this is good... Listening on headphones, wondering whether I've been drinking or not. Started out as very relaxing - slightly disturbing after a while! lol The thunder and rain came as a welcome release of the tension. Really well put together.
Love the chords on this. Like Gene says - bittersweet.
Oh yes!
Love it.
Tasty sounding guitar.
Well that does the job. Nice one.
Wow! What a journey...
Crumbs - this thing is a *masterpiece* and I'm only halfway through it! Were you trying to do your entire rpm challenge on the first track?!! hehe
Oh yeah, fine song to close. Cool album.
Another single! :-) Love the vocal - 2nd verse is gorgeous.
Here's the single! Great track.
