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…
RPM 2k22
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…
RPM 2k22
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…
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…
RPM 2k22
been so long, without your touch
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…

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

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…

from "the Hardest Blow" featuring vocals from Tess Savigear and solo guitar from Kavin Allenson
It’s name is sadly the same as me, without me
It cannot follow through doorways, the same way
Just saw the rainbow fall over
It’s game remembers…
So Far to Get
Fire on the look-out
he's got me shakin'
Watch me blow it now.
Fire on the lookout,
It's got me changing
what, me worry now?
Fire on the look-out
It's got me shakin'
what me worry now?
watch me blow it now.
click on add album, put in the info, then when you add tracks, click on the tab for recent listens, you can drag the tracks over from there, assuming you've listening to this cd within the last 100 tracks or so.
My 2009 Christmas Challenge song. It's rough around the edges and I didn't have a drumset, so fake drums, but all in all, not a bad little diddy. enjoy!
my entry into the 2008 Sidedown Christmas challenge.
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.
this was done around the same time as g=gone so it's a…
star
just a star on a sheep on the side of a car
and the picture in your hand from a distant land
with a story can't believe this is happening to me
another mediocre man trapped in a master plan
it's really not the star but the dream inside…
i love how people listen to the first song of an album and then move on. this site is great for telling you exactly who is listening to your stuff and to what. too bad those people i sent links to this CD stopped at the first song. too bad they missed the juicy bits in 2-9.
A blatant attempt at exploiting the deep well of The Jesus and Mary Chain/Pixies/Raveonettes/House of Love. A lovingly loud, shiny and guitar-laden paean to those great bands.
the first new song written for the RPM challenge, i love the guitar part, but the words were last minute. some people get tired of my anti-religion diatribe. oh well
Judge me, I want everyone all up in here
cast your stones for slandering…
this is 4 bass tracks and drums
the 3rd song i wrote about my wife. maybe someday the second song will show up somewhere.
like a hunter hunts its prey
eyeing me, hungrily
can't keep her paws to herself
and i'm not about to fight it
it…
this song is 6 bass parts on top of drum loops. each part is completely seperate mix and effect. that synth sound in the chorus is actually me singing falsetto with muey effects on it.
a song from a previous band (kill.pop.), i took the metal out of it and made it more dreamy. this is actually the 3rd version of this song that i've played.
Comments on angie fights crime's stuff
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...
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.

is this really heavy metal? Tess made me take the heavy bits out :)
i love it, how do you get the vocal effect?
click on add album, put in the info, then when you add tracks, click on the tab for recent listens, you can drag the tracks over from there, assuming you've listening to this cd within the last 100 tracks or so.
you should put this album up on your list, double exposure.
i was going for tom waits, maybe a little too much?
oh my, this is beautiful. nicely done!
maybe we should do a double album, my versions VS your versions
your demo's are way more impressive than mine :(
someday we need to collaborate. I'll let you sing.
god i love this one. someday you're gonna have to teach me how to sound this good.
well they're sampled loops from Garageband. It's probably time I either buy my own drumset or get some different loops.
I'm working on a new holiday song, should be done soon!
i love how people listen to the first song of an album and then move on. this site is great for telling you exactly who is listening to your stuff and to what. too bad those people i sent links to this CD stopped at the first song. too bad they missed the juicy bits in 2-9.
spectacular!
wow, this sounds a lot like Jesus and Mary Chain i love it.
your music makes me want to try harder.
are those loops? how in the world?
i had this guitar part bouncing around for a couple months, unfortunately i was never quite happy with the song itself, one of the parels of RPM.
this song is 6 bass parts on top of drum loops. each part is completely seperate mix and effect. that synth sound in the chorus is actually me singing falsetto with muey effects on it.
and that's my kid singing at the end of the song, which is pretty creepy.
