This is the basic theme for "weekend in new orleans", a documentary we're currently writing the soundtrack for (it'll be adapted with variations throughout the film). It's very quiet. (Video trailer coming shortly.)
A further march down the road in acl's evolution - and one of the many directions we've been dying to get to... it's, ummm, water-y. (And this song is especially dedicated to J Wentz.)

Ha, I think you got a good idea of what's going through my brain right now... and it's definitely uplifting to have this kind of song to represent it. You two really are the king and queen of simple-yet-powerful chord progressions.

Well, there was this Spectrasonics contest... and songs had to be submitted by June 30th... so we finally started working on this one on the evening of the 29th. Yeah. We procrastinate.
A crazy little song written while considering Ed Robertson's plane crash from a few years back, "Any Landing" is given much legitimacy by Ashley's incredible voice and Kavin Allenson's (Kavin S. Acoustic Church) guitar.

I've never been to Amarillo
Butchaknow
One day I will-o
I wont say no
If you ask me to stay-o
In Amarillo
Oh yes I will-o
Oh yes I will-o...
I've had my fill o'
Amarillo
Left behind my satin pillow,
I ran over an armadillo
But…
Gather 'round the bonfire for some sh*t-kicking New England bluegrass, boys and girls! Feel free to sing along!

Born so near the ocean I can taste it
Summer's so damn short you don't dare to waste it
I've seen the Northern…
Track 2 for the RPM 2015 album Cold Ground Was My Bed
"Yesterday was a den of sorrow, today is a bright mystery, the future a dim dream or ancient history"
The pages of the book were leaking into the dream
Wading through waters of time, an unconscious stream
Eyes begin to flicker, getting heavier with sleep
Takes you by force into the deep
Cobras hood like an open sail
Eternity tries to…
This is fantastic! I didn't realize GarageBand had a wide verity of samples. Then again, I've never worked in the program. I think I need to educate myself in it.
Up with the sunrise
My new morning routine
Late last night with the fireflies
One more dimly-lit scene
Need to trade in these old eyes
Hard to tell red from green
Pull the visor down tight
And tie up the chain
Let's ride blind in the…
Follow the arc through the sky
Hard to judge how high
Only steel in your spine
Pretend you can fly
For a moment in time
Only you and the sun
Trying to catch the other one
A free man's work is never done
It's just begun
Turn your head…
Take me where I've never been
Give me bad instructions once again
Strap me in and watch me fly
Sit back, take bets on just how long until I die
Just me against the world
Impressing all the pretty girls
I'll do impressions standing on my…
I've been living like a poor man
Lying on my back day after day
Waking up wearing the same old clothes once again
The vultures and vampires won't go away
They bring me just enough to stay alive
The stuff you only eat when there's no other…
How many ways can you get yourself killed?
How many ways can you die?
So many ways if you have a strong will
A will so much stronger than I
Put rocks in your shoes and go jump in a lake
Go walking 'round barefoot with venomous snakes
Looking…
