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…

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…

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

shortly everything’s bright
and the music is neither awful nor sublime

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

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

My first RPM cover of 2011. This one is "Like This" by The Missed Connections. I seem to have taken a darker turn with the song than Amelia did. It wasn't intentional, but it seems to be what I do when I cover her songs.

My take on Gumbo's Keep Your Eye On The Spot, one of many excellent tracks from his RPM2011 album 'Cat's Moustache'. It's something of a departure from the original, though I was trying to retain an element of the gospel so hopefully its soul…

A slightly destructive children's song... But I suspect that many of you have tried some of the things mentioned.

i don't know if i ever told Tess that's her sampled vox ringing out through the whole tune. the funny thing was she took my song out of 5, and i put hers into 5. we're silly like that.
"High Life" is a musical genre that originated in Ghana in the 1900s and spread to Sierra Leone, Nigeria and other West African countries by 1920. My friends from that part of the world consider this be the "go-to" rhythm for just about anything…

Love the chorus very AIC
Liking the acoustic direction on this album. THe drums sound great, too.
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.

nicely done.
i love this.
I'm in awe of your mixing skills, you should produce all of my albums please. I love the vibe on this one.
wow, this is different.
it's really about my anger management problems.
i actually had the volume turned pretty low to record this, it sounds big because of my huge nuts.
phat!
this song is perfect, but i'm going to cover it anyways.
NICE.
I'm a tool, I forgot all about this. Sounds GREAT!
what makes this song stand out even more is that it's about me. :(
this is perfect.
smokin something alright
i don't know if i ever told Tess that's her sampled vox ringing out through the whole tune. the funny thing was she took my song out of 5, and i put hers into 5. we're silly like that.
i played this in college. fun.
what a weird song, what was i thinking?
it's no joke.
i agree, it passes the honda stereo test.
somebody, and i don't care who, needs to admit, that this song, kicks some serious ass.
i just uploaded a new version of this song, i think i got the vocal mix right!!!!
