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…

stop your soliloquy
I feel the death inside me
in this succession
the still and quiet
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
so far away, so close
grasping, the memory, the secret, divine
I never knew that someday…
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.

here we are, for the very first time
is it safe to touch you
or am I way out of line
now it's over, and our embrace was far too sweet
is it safe to fall in love or is this a game that can never be beat
here we are in my bedroom all alone…

i love this song too....it's got this cool reggae style of singing over awesome 90's grungy music in the verse and then it goes into this 80's synth chorus...deadly

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.
My first RPM cover of 2011. This one is "Like This" by The Missed Connections. I seem to have taken a darker turn with the song than Amelia did. It wasn't intentional, but it seems to be what I do when I cover her songs.

If I scream louder
Could you understand
If I scream louder
Will I be a man
If I scream louder
Would it become more clear
If I scream louder
Would it ease your fears
Screaming at the top of my lungs
If I scream louder
Will my point get…

My take on Gumbo's Keep Your Eye On The Spot, one of many excellent tracks from his RPM2011 album 'Cat's Moustache'. It's something of a departure from the original, though I was trying to retain an element of the gospel so hopefully its soul…

Aweful dad, make you cry
Aweful dad, hope you die
Aweful dad, fear and pain
Aweful dad, embarrassing

A slightly destructive children's song... But I suspect that many of you have tried some of the things mentioned.
I have a great idea up in my head

i don't know if i ever told Tess that's her sampled vox ringing out through the whole tune. the funny thing was she took my song out of 5, and i put hers into 5. we're silly like that.
"High Life" is a musical genre that originated in Ghana in the 1900s and spread to Sierra Leone, Nigeria and other West African countries by 1920. My friends from that part of the world consider this be the "go-to" rhythm for just about anything…

It’s name is sadly the same as me, without me
It cannot follow through doorways, the same way

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!

So very different from the original, I can tell you had fun with this one. Great 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.
it's drum loops from garageband.
hey are you beat boxing on this or is the snare drum really muffled....cool song...very moody, almost tool-ish
amazing song...love the acoustic sound on this ep.
what a great tune...i like the alternate 2008 version as well...both very different feels
i love this song too....it's got this cool reggae style of singing over awesome 90's grungy music in the verse and then it goes into this 80's synth chorus...deadly

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.
nicely done.
i love this.
I'm in awe of your mixing skills, you should produce all of my albums please. I love the vibe on this one.
wow, this is different.
it's really about my anger management problems.
i actually had the volume turned pretty low to record this, it sounds big because of my huge nuts.
phat!
this song is perfect, but i'm going to cover it anyways.
NICE.
I'm a tool, I forgot all about this. Sounds GREAT!
what makes this song stand out even more is that it's about me. :(
this is perfect.
smokin something alright
i don't know if i ever told Tess that's her sampled vox ringing out through the whole tune. the funny thing was she took my song out of 5, and i put hers into 5. we're silly like that.
i played this in college. fun.
what a weird song, what was i thinking?
it's no joke.
i agree, it passes the honda stereo test.
