kiss me softly in the evening light
and like the breeze, i'll be blown away
linger longer if you have the time
and whisper truly that you want to stay
how long, oh eternity
doesn't seem to ever last
forever's just a word it…
RPM 2k22
farewell my concubine
there's no need to get the door
but i'm bored
waiting for your big surprise
I can't wait for tomorrow
for a heart to appear
my dear
and by then you know i'll be gone
there are no words left
no convincing…

sigh
waiting through the night
but you're not coming over
thought you were my lover
same
every night and day
every single moment
now you have to own it
sighing, the emptiness
the last caress, fading away
crying, the tears…

this night if we are sober
we'll deny that this over
and before we slip away
to sleep and dream of better days
this night if we are sober
we'll decide if this is over

that will tell us, which direction…
RPM 2k22
you can't remember anything tonight
cause you lost the feeling, lost the feeling
the tide is turning, the shoreline is in sight
but you've lost the feeling, lost the feeling
whenever all seems hopeless try
to remember all…

been so long, I want so much
to finally feel anything at all
to finally feel anything at all
as I brush against you walking down the hall
soon all my waiting will be over
patiently await the…

never need to convince myself
I always knew
surrounded by you
I am at peace where I am
can you say it too
the past is a clue
stop waiting, for things to change
just change, anything that you want
change, anything that you…
RPM 2k22
it's all you know
so why don't you show me
just how it's done
i'm mesmerized
the way that you lie
mostly to yourself
as if you're someone else
it's killing you
these things that you do to
simply remain
not breaking ground…

down goes the champion
disappear into the past
his glory fading out
know it would never last
faced with reality
just a shell remains
nothing to fall upon
and no one else to blame
raise your white flag

What no comments? This one works for me. Love the lyrics... Actually, I'm wondering whether, like me, you were watching the winter olympics while writing? All sorts of stuff snuck into my lyrics, inspired by the coverage in the background. And when the games finished, the ideas dried up for a day or two for me - almost like I'd relied on them. Anyways, remembering how I was feeling those couple of weeks, I can kinda see how this one might have had the same thing going on in the background.

down goes the sun
so lay down your head
and follow it
the penitent one
cries in his sleep
cause there's no release
tear down this wall
piece by tiny piece
faithful through it all
but there's no release
so little revealed…

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

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.

Anthem!
Awesome - absolutely love the arrangement and vocal layers in the chorus lift it to a new level.
Bitter sweet overload, my bitter sweet overlord.
Hot fave so far - haunting and brilliant!
Cool retro feel to the song-writing. Late night radio.
Angie Fights The Horrible Few Weeks I Was Having And Makes Everything Lovely.
Breezy opener - lovely to hear some fresh Angie!
Yep. awesome album. You never disappoint, but I think this one feels like a new high for me. Nice one, well done.
This one dragged me back from the work window. Yes, love it.
Oh yeah...
What no comments? This one works for me. Love the lyrics... Actually, I'm wondering whether, like me, you were watching the winter olympics while writing?

Classy (I'm running out of superlatives). I'm digging this album.
This grew on me. Love the chorus, I think that's what did it for me.
What can I add that hasn't been said already? (Dang, Riff, Wow) ... digging it.
Whoa! What an opener. It was cool as it started, then the band kicked in. Love it.
Wow... awesome album from AFC. Great songwriting, reflective and introspective lyrics, great musicianship. Love the overall moodiness of the album.
Love, love, love this track. Awesome middle eight, very Cure-like.
Catchy vibe yet heartbreaking lyrics.
Love how this song builds and builds... gorgeous instrumentation in the outro. Very melancholy and moody, similar to "lost the feeling." Love it.
Awesome song! Emotive, melancholy, great flow. Perfect piano motif and loping drumming.
