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.

afterdark
midnight is approaching, the city still alive
moaning and blinking and on into the night
downtown, afterdark
someone is reading, someone needs a light
someone is hustling, and someone starts a fight
downtown, afterdark
a boy…

tall drink of water, short blonde hair
flash you a smile like she just don't care
sharp as a razor as right as rain
ask me again and I'll tell you the same
don’t forget her name, Melissa
boys come running when she's around
then she crushes a cigarette…
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…
100 bpm, db
see my face in the mirror
wondering what i've become
though things, couldn't be clearer
i can't explain the things that i have done
weird and probably crazy
my sanity is an enormous doubt in my life
no ghost no monsters or…

no I won't eat of the body, no I won't drink of the blood
no I won't gather at the river, no I won't carry your burden
no I won't bath in the glory, no I won't bath in the glory
no I won't beg for forgiveness
yes you will
no I won't handle a serpent…
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…
RPM 2011
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.
Comments on angie fights crime's stuff
well they're sampled loops from Garageband. It's probably time I either buy my own drumset or get some different loops.
Oh my Heavens, it's Christmas GOTH! Nicely done!
PS - Fake drums? I'm a pedestrian, yes, but they sound authentic to me! All round class performance!
Yeah. Only the COOLEST, most delicious arrangement of Winter Wonderland evah.
I love the way you re write these old carols. Great job on this man.
Festive Angie! Woot! And to you, my friend!
I'm working on a new holiday song, should be done soon!

good job, Brent..you make your momma proud
this is by far my favorite!!!!!!
nice intro. this has a great feel to it.
nice cover job! :) powerful.
This song will be a part of my family traditions for generations to come.
Guitar and gob, can't beat it :D
beautious guitfiddle texture
this song is so good. your voice reminds me of the depeche mode singer or grizzly bear or something
Merry Christmas to you too! :-) Great full Angie sound!
What fun, good one!
I love the Christmas tunes. This is real creative. I can't wait to see what happens around here during the holidays.
hey man...great new songs...love the stripped down sound...especially like this one...reminds me of nick cave meets the stones... cheers, damian

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.
