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…
RPM 2k22
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
and slip away into a dream
that will tell us, which direction…

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

soon all my waiting will be over

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

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…

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…

No explanations left to give apologies over
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
It's not the end…
Some may say that given time, every one messes up and thinks of no one else,
Sins their sin, their selfish acts.
But you I would have sworn were different, a faithful heart.
Not without fault, but I never thought you would cut me like that.

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.

Dang, brother. This is OUTSTANDING.
Agree with Will and Andy - a fabulous, eclectic, moody page turner of an album. One to return to again and again.
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...

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.

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