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.)
"The pictures that she paints while you're keeping time might just make you think again if you don't believe in the divine." Simply, it's a delicate little song appreciating the talents behind a beautifully written and performed song with the…
This one went through many iterations before turning into what you hear. A key breakthrough came when I stumbled upon that keyboard part for the verses. That opened the whole thing up.
There is no reverb on any vox parts in this one. I loved how I was able to get the tone of the voices to have that mid-60s sound. This was aided by the fact I am running through an emulation of the Abbey Road mixing desk. ;)
No offense meant to my English friends. ;) I grew up there as a kid, so we have common cause. Anyway, this song is more about the struggle between the material and spiritual, doing the right thing when you are called upon, etc. Hope you enjoy!
As you may have picked up on, there's a lot this year about soldiering on when your world has been destroyed. So, this is a song of hope. Have faith, have faith...
When your world is destroyed as you know it, the ability to overcome and renew yourself is a very steep ascent. It may take years, and this song is about that struggle to 'let it go'
It is easy to mock and ridicule, but much harder to learn and understand. Overcoming our own pig-headedness may be our biggest personal challenge. This song thinks about that. I also was rather happy with how my Telecaster sounds in the rhythm…
The song that led the way. I came up with the guitar sound first, and needed a song that evoked the pure energy that was coming from that guitar sound. It needed to be fast and intense. And it needed harmonies. We're full abandon 'cause it's time…
Morning Glow
End of the line
Ahead of me just loneliness
Scanning the horizon - only emptiness
Losing heart for a while
As the twilight’s rolling in
Getting caught between the darkness and despair
Used to never fail
Used to find a…
TIME TO HEAL
The gates of freedom close at hand
Time to rise and take a stand
Sometimes you have to let it go
Leave behind all that you know
To draw a line up in the sand
Some secrets stay inside
Finding a way to hide
So many moments…
NEEDLE'S EYE
the river of time is flowing bright
out into the void of empty night
we gaze at the ripples almost scared of what we’ll find
in search of the past we penetrate
the dream of an everlasting fate
we’re destined to find that…
Track 5 from my RPMX album Cold Ground Was My Bed
Inspired by Salvador Dali. Mostly.
Gravity failing
Cats float flailing
Furniture in midair
Salvador smiling
Rainbows crying
Clocks melting everywhere
Pachyderms stilted
Lovers…
Track 9 for RPMX album Cold Ground Was My Bed
Those boots that you're wearing black and high
Reach almost up to your thigh
High heels and leather
Tight as a drum
They would even look good on your mum
Black Boots
Wear them with fishnets…
