was it her i followed, around the other day?

I tried the original Mel Torme chords and version and it just didn't fit for me, so i came up with my own chords and arrangement.

Although Asimov doesn't have a story directly named after the super-computer, it does
appear in many of his sci-fi stories, and is related to many of the stories that inspired
these compositions. So, it is fitting as it serves a bit of a 'overture…
this is a great idea. I did an album based on the novels of Haruki Murakami and one based on "the Talisman" by Stephen King. It's in the grand tradition of musical composers to base one's art on other mediums and works and this is definitely a success!
from the album "Que Vive!"
you’re so much like me that I’m not sure
where I begin and you end
sometimes I even see through your eyes
your shi brown eyes
still innocent
you’re so refined, that I can’t
fake any more lies
you’re clutching…
A RPM 2012 warm-up, using Angie Fights Crime's words:
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…
Were you not there
I'd have fallen through I swear but hey
You were unaware
That I'd built up a dependence on you
Well alright
Never mind, I'll find salvation in a needle
or a bottle of somekind.
you were to me
somewhere between a saint and…
Reg has re-leaved his inner thespian tonight in another reading........... this time........... The Rime of the Ancient Mariner by Samuel Taylor Coleridge...Done in one take mistakes and all ......he hadn't come across this one since his school…
the honor is all mine. how great for some dumb hick in kansas city to write a bunch of songs and all these incredible artists step up and record them for free. seriously, i'm humbled beyond words.
New original. I hope you find it enjoyable. And if you're willing to leave a comment, I'd love to hear your feedback. :)
Lyrics, for those who like them:
Grey fisted clouds in the sky. Plaid skirt and innocent eyes,
And I am no longer sane…
Reg has added some lyrics to the Slowdown piece.....Reg has just realized that its ok! to get clean, but now he's got to stay like it the rest of his life ...................and that's a long time to be sober...............
Flinch
I'm guilty
I took the bait again
And here I am again
Always with the same stupid grin
And I didn't go as planned
Few things do I've learned
From the top I pulled it
but I didn't see how far you'd go
didn't I see you flinch…
This is a song about finding momentary escape from the pain of loss.. and having it interrupted by the realisation that it's the anniversary of the day it all started;
Some days I get up
and I go to the park
and I sit in the dark
and I think…
RPM 2011
Wait for the room to focus
Feeling around for closure
The whiteness of my skin
The pale reflecting eyes
The beaty of total darkness
Move to the door and open
Room after room of sorrow
Breathing through your mouth
Flooding from your eyes…

She wanted more than the story, but nobody told her
I hear the insane are hardly worth the medication
But she'd like the story just the same, for when she gets older

Some may say that given time, every one messes up and thinks of no one else,
Sins their sin, their selfish acts.

i'm working on my cover, it may take me a week or 2, it's complicated song, mostly the lyrical delivery, which i don't want to change. everything else though, has got to go.
Comments on angie fights crime's stuff
I like your songs very much. some of them remind me of the Embarrassment from Kansas. Keep making this good music.
This is like the overture to a rock opera. Reminds me vaguely of Quadrophenia and Tommy. ER
nice - atmospheric and evil sounding - love that growling bass chugging away when everything drops out
Excellent Album...Bravo
Great start.........
Good job!
Another year of A.F.C. Christmas. Yea man. This is such a great tune.
Really diggin this track! w;-)
*BUMP*
Five stars Brent.
I like that distant guitar. Nice touch. The whole T&T production is outstanding.
Absolutely faved. Real good man. Real good.
Wow! What a production. Unbelievable.
you nailed it. i couldn't have asked for a better mezzo-soprano. i wish i could write for your voice all the time.
Bethan in bewitching mode. Another great track! Solid mixes here - deep, soulful writing.
Wonderful Heppie Curtis. I have fabulous memories of this track - a poignant performance.
(I can't believe I hit that note.) Very proud to be part of this magical projick, Brent. x
Now I'm pleased I didn't skip this .....I like it ....faved
Done what I was told! Though I had kinda heard it before. ;) organ = scorchio!
seriously, quit skipping over this and listen to it right now!

i beg to difer on the "it needs a rapper" comment. i hear beyonce singing a groovy little number on this.

I just realized the title of the CD has to do with pulling yourself away from this awesome music and getting back to work. No, I won't like it.
goddamn i love this album that nobody listened to. i could play these songs all day and never get tired of them.
that's very cool and unlike anything I'm doing with em, so awesome!
so many words. Nicely done!!
you should check the Iron Maiden version. It's pretty f'in awesome.
the honor is all mine. how great for some dumb hick in kansas city to write a bunch of songs and all these incredible artists step up and record them for free. seriously, i'm humbled beyond words.
i think you already know that i think you should quit your day job already and get on a Major Record Label and Make BUCKETS of FREE CASH! marvelous.
another masterpiece guys, seriously, fantastical stuff! and you're right, i don't like it, i LOVE it!
oh hell yes, this one, THIS ONE!
holy wow!
hell yes.
you are easily the most prolific songwriter on the planet. i bow in awe!
me like.
if i never write another song as long as i live, you made it worth it with this.
ALEX MOODY YOU ARE A STAR!

it's kinda already an electonic version isn't it? i don't care, do what you want man, it's your cover.
