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…
I almost thought I knew it, so very close to space and time
it almost makes me lose my mind
2 seconds closer to the, the moment fleeting thoughts are mine
so far away, so close
grasping, the memory, the secret, divine
I never knew that someday…
all the pounding waves
drowning out the sound
the sound is poison
diving down below
sinking very slow
drown away the sound
if I, can't make it
stop your soliloquy
I feel the death inside me
in this succession
the still and quiet
I will succumb…
all the pounding waves
drowning out the sound
the sound is poison
diving down below
sinking very slow
drown away the sound
if I, can't make it
stop your soliloquy
I feel the death inside me
in this succession
the still and quiet
I will succumb…
all the pounding waves
drowning out the sound

I will succumb…
the ever growing night
hides the sight of your sleeping body
and slide right in next to you
and try my best to hold you tightly
just an hour earlier
so hard to hear above the screaming
and left alone at 1 a.m.
this futile gesture lost in dreaming…
I almost thought I knew it, so very close to space and time
it almost makes me lose my mind
2 seconds closer to the, the moment fleeting thoughts are mine

Hey AFC, nice work on this one. I like the melody on it. You have a different sound than most of the things I have been hearing lately, different in cool, vibey sort of way. Thanks for posting this. Cheers, Gary
facedown far from only, every bit the proper gent
feeling very tiny, kindly pass along a hand
and please stifle the laughter as I crown the better man
borrowing the gibberish, this continental drift
line up the idiots and choose your tool…

I like this a lot. Nice work.
BTW... "i've been working on it a while. the drums sound like shit, my vox are horid and the guitars suck balls"
... made me laugh... pretty much describes everything I do.
as well as enjoying the interpretation.. I LOVE the 'about' column!! haha. Me ol' ma does a similar thing when she sets the meals down 'meats overdone, potatoes could have been on a bit longer and the sauce is too thick. Enjoy!'
Oh horray! LOVE this arrangement and the lyrics sound so much better when you sing them! That guitar riff echoing the original string pipe motif sounds so haunting! Nice work! (Oh and those sweeping vox of yours..!) Right, I'm going to have to do a cover of your cover!
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.
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.
Some…
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
yes you will !
awesome....what a great full sound...deadly song...
hey man....the new stuff sounds amazing....especially love this one...your wife's got a great voice... cheers, damian
This one has a cool vibe and tone to it. Excellent work. I like the solo parts, they feel like you could float on them.
Hey, great song and nicely done.
Nice!
Epic! Brilliant! Love those fearless vocal lines, as ever!
Tender song. Truly wonderful lyrics.

*holds lighter in the air and sways*
oh yeah
I like this a lot. Nice work. BTW... "i've been working on it a while. the drums sound like shit, my vox are horid and the guitars suck balls" ... made me laugh... pretty much describes everything I do.
kind of reminds me a little of something off Tool's Opiate. Nice.
Wow- that rocks!
as well as enjoying the interpretation.. I LOVE the 'about' column!! haha. Me ol' ma does a similar thing when she sets the meals down 'meats overdone, potatoes could have been on a bit longer and the sauce is too thick. Enjoy!'
So very different from the original, I can tell you had fun with this one. Great cover.
Oh horray! LOVE this arrangement and the lyrics sound so much better when you sing them! That guitar riff echoing the original string pipe motif sounds so haunting! Nice work! (Oh and those sweeping vox of yours..!) Right, I'm going to have to do a cover of your cover!
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.

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.
