This is a remix of this song.
It was recorded in 2010, and I was in a hurry to post it elsewhere because I'm so fond of the song itself. But I've always hated the old mix - I lost the essence of the guitars and choirs during mastering because…
Well, here we go then...

Yeah you know what it is that I want
Oh you knew, didn't you, before I did?
How many times did you wonder whether I would dare?
Oh never mind...

New original from me, hot off the old wotsit.
When it was half written yesterday, I was considering binning it as a throwaway exercise - I do that quite often. But I played the songwriting demo to someone else and, er, apparently I should finish…

I wrote this thing in 1994. When I played it to some friends back then they went "yeah, but where's the rest of it?"
I've been struggling with that concept ever since. Then, a while ago, a couple of kindly souls removed that worry from me…

This is a pretty intense listen for something written 25 years ago! You have a wonderful gift for making every word sound completely in the moment and real.

New one from me. It's ended up as a bit of a "crying into yer beer at Bob's Country Bunker" sort of song lol...
I've been sat on these lyrics in some form or another for absolutely years. I first wrote them one very dark night a few years after…

Mrs R is right . . . *"It's ready"*
You have acomplished what many can not; Offer a complete thought in a succinct manor.
Nice going Andrew! You make it sound easy.

Its been a while since I jammed with Norm so i've used his mile of sorrow and turned it into a Christmas song........Merry Christmas Norm .....

A little more rock and roll than my normal mellow vibe. I might play around with this some more, but for now, it is what is :)
Guitar, bass, bodhran, vocals, and a casio keyboard drumkit.
Just in time for St Patrick's Day . . . . And with any luck we might have a bonus "LIVE" Leprechaun track coming soon. The Minnesota Coffee table met and recorded a fun version last night.

Based on a riff brought back to life after many years, and remembrance of a childhood fever dream. Wrap this in the context of the past two years and this is the musical result.
Sometimes life knocks you down and decides to kick a few times for good measure. It can be hard to push though at times, but it’s important to persevere because it can and will get better. This is a song about staying strong and remaining hopeful…
Since venturing beyond twenty atmospheres, our intrepid explorers were assumed lost forever. Never underestimate the human spirit and instinct for survival, especially when it’s fueled by a defiant shanty.
I’ll never understand those who are famous for being famous, and I honestly don’t care to. Unqualified influencers and fake internet gurus, this one's for you.
Faved in the first 20 seconds... I had read the blurb by then, YESSS, so I probably would have faved it no matter what it sounded like!!! lol ... It sounds cool too, so phew!
This song was written and recorded on Garageband during the month of February, 2022 as my submission to the RPM Challenge. It's a rough draft that I'll continue to work on in the future. Please forgive the recording quality...(I'm still learning…
(COVID Salute)
You can pick 'em, you can lick 'em, you can roll them in a ball
You can stack 'em up like waffles 'till they're forty feet tall
You can wipe on your sleeve, you can flick 'em at your friends
You could blow them in a tissue…
If tomorrow you find yourself far away from me
Running to another city
If you don't have the time to hide away with me
Disappear into the scenery
Am I no longer worth
The effort to search
For the life we were dreaming
For the love we…
If this song doesn't grab me as much as it's predecessors (lyrically it does), it's given me a moment to catch my breath and say how much I like the instrumentation on these tracks. Love the little slide break here.
I know sometimes things just ain't right
Like oil and water we survive
Y'know I don't hate you
Maybe we're too much alike
Push and pull
We'll survive
We're not getting younger these days
And we're both sure and set in our ways
We fight…
Broken things on my window sill
Remind me every day
Of my constant lean towards failure
Always getting in my way
Perpetual disappointment
I never follow through
Can't count on me for nothing
I'll only disappoint you
There's a war in…

Yeah! merry merry merry Christmas :)
Merry Christmas! :)
Woah! Wasn't expecting that! But yeah - play around with it some more. It's got a cool vibe.
Wow! I wanted to get away but I couldn't! That's really powerful... OK, now I need to go listen to 2112 as an antidote!
You'll be needing some of the black stuff with that one :)
Assuming it is hopeful! That's how I'm hearing/feeling it :)
Cool song. I like the imagery and the hopeful end to the verses.
Love it. This whole set (Abyss) is pretty inspiring - the ideas holding it together, the arrangements and recording, nice one.
Yessss. Utterly brilliant.
Oh yeah. Love it.

That's a gorgeous song.
Yeah, why not :)
Nice one.
Super RPM, well done. I shall have a listen to last year's later. Many thanks for posting these.
Oh superb! LOL
