RPM 2014
clenching teeth
through an iron jaw
your eyes are just slivers on your face
rosy glow
on your porcelain cheeks
there is nothing not a trace
happy, are you?
losing sleep
the weight is heavy
you can barely keep afloat
clenching…
RPM 2014
been so long since I’ve been out of the city
maybe even longer than I can remember
tried to leave many times, oh what a pity
there’s no around anymore to take me away
should I be a hermit in a barrel
under the brush creek bridge…
RPM 2014
full, the ocean inside
of meadows smelling softly
of butterflies that swallow
all, there inside, it all
it’s too painful to think
and I must be stronger
than this tornado in my
soul, there inside, to release
tidal waves erupt…
I'll tell you a secret, a lot of them started out as piano songs, and then I had to learn to play them on guitar. every song but 1 has multiple guitars trying to do just that.

horrible life
needs a favor tonight
keep the fakers away
and the hipsters and the leeches from my sight
horrible life
needs a drink or nine
shortly everything’s bright
and the music is neither awful nor sublime
it’s all…

on the other side of the river
swollen and impossible to wade
underneath a canopy of cool dark trees
she’s waiting there for me
see her eyes reflecting in the swiftly moving water
hear her voice merge with the rustle of the leaves…

take a stand against the man
when you’re backed into the corner
bears his teeth and growls
and scratches his claws on the floor
it takes a village to decide
how to count the many ways
to know your wrong from right
that don…

there’s hissing on the ground
keep your legs up high
listen for a rustle in the leaves
you can’t trust your eyes alone
it’s not a monster coming out
of a deep hole in the ground
this is real, I tell you
so real
you can’t trust…
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…
VERSE I
Lettuce in first
To build a foundation
Everything else is up to you
It these choices
that you make, pour it on
that create the moment you have waited for
PRE CH
These tines, plunging in
CHORUS
And we are all so intricate…
I've been obsessed with this song since I watched a Rick Beato video that called out how the awesome guitar solo was criminally buried in the mix. Plus, it's yacht rock, and if there's one thing I love, it's yacht rock. So I set out to record…
You wouldn't know if from my uploads over the last few months, but I rarely record covers, mostly because you hear what's WRONG, not what's RIGHT. But I had a theme of Earth, Wind, & Fire for September, so I decided to take on a huge song…
from the album "Uniform"
she hides her heart under the pillow
waiting for the good fairy to come
replace this worn and broken thing
with a heart that can feel again
she's never sure which night will be her lucky one
but she anticipates…
Hello.
Well Hello!
Hello Pillow,
How do you do?
I'm doing mighty fine thank you,
How about you?
Fancy a snooze?
Let's go to sleep right now x 3
Right now. Night now.
Hello.
Hello Pillow,
And what a shitter of a day.
Never…
My dear friend Brent Kinder asked for some covers of his AFC songs, and this is my attempt at covering the excellent song Sideways from his Orange album, which is available on Alonetone in its original form. I'll include the link here, but I'm…
Brent wrote a song. A really good song.
I asked for his session file. I replaced his drum and keyboard sounds and remixed things.
I added a second guitar and some strings.
I created an odd percussion track.
Then I recorded my own vocals…
“Shine” by Wilson Ng, written and recorded in February 2022 for the RPM Challenge.
Outtake from the 2022 RPM Challenge Sessions. Just one of those songs that doesn't seem to work. Wanted to recut the vocals because they were basically scratch…

RPM 2022. I finished a song.. does that count?
Well the early bird
Catches the worm
Eats it up
And shits it out
Onto the lawn
And into the dirt
Where the worms crawl
And use the soil to form
To be eaten once more
By the early birds…
When the shivers go right down your spine like a river
Or the whiplash from turning your head to the coast
Brace, the stormfront breaching outside,
Every tree, bends like a dragons tail
We lean our bodies toward the headwinds

Or the whiplash from turning your head to the coast
Brace, the stormfront breaching outside,
Every tree, bends like a dragons tail
We lean our bodies toward the headwinds
turning our…
Can you feel it, in your teeth
It is hiding, smoldering
In the shadows, of your mind
Where there's smoke there's surely fire
Are you evil, in disguise
Feel the acid, start to rise
Ever shameful, hide the guilt
Always lapping at the flames…
Cross my heart, and hope to live forever
If we’re wishing we might as well jump
Bittersweet, sepia tones rolling down the canyon,
Turning my head
So long this long refrain
So long we’ll meet again
Flying past though leave no trails…
For the first time in 13 years Grant sent me some lyrics. I added a verse and then spent the month of February waiting for the song to give me a direction. It did on about the 24th. Originally this was sunny and upbeat.
Keep it quiet kids…
We decided to give the kids an outlet that wasn’t pandemic or lockdown based this February, and made an album as a family for the RPM Challenge 2021. It was just the most precious, funny, brilliant month.

I'll tell you a secret, a lot of them started out as piano songs, and then I had to learn to play them on guitar. every song but 1 has multiple guitars trying to do just that.
