I'm learning to 'listen' to the 'flow' of life all around me and not get so caught up in little things that don't really matter.
Learning to enjoy! Life is good...
The river runs
and i look into it
i see myself
in a million faces there…

like the sentiment of this a lot. The hook is subtle but really grabs hold. vocal reminds me of tim buckley for some reason. great stuff anthony.
ps. if u fully figure out how to let go of things that dont matter.. tell me your secret! The song blocked it temporarily.. but WHY WONT PEOPLE INDICATE!! :)

I don't want to leave you
I don't want to turn and walk the other way
i don't want to leave you
even though you've never heard my name
and i rise from my grave
as if the world was mine to save
you were so cold and lonely
your offer…
I am still drawn to the sadness in your vocals, I sense some real pain, and I like the emotion shining through. It makes me wonder what you were going through at these times..
Ok...here's another one for the rpm. Just got thinking about religion, God, truth, love, unity. Been reading the "The life of Pi" - well anyway it got the gears turning. Again, enjoy and if you'd like to, tell me what you think.
Much peace…
This song was inspired by the Life of Pi...and yes, i feel like a drifter at times, floating, going no where.
I've been drifting
i've been drifting for days
going no where
being driven by the waves
driven mad by the wind and her voices…
I don't want to leave you
I don't want to turn and walk the other way
i don't want to leave you
even though you've never heard my name
and i rise from my grave
as if the world was mine to save
you were so cold and lonely

learning....forever learning to look beyond the circumstance, look beyond the pain, and maybe find peace through the pain....
in my valleys
in my darkest hours
when the water has risen so high
there's no support to be found
I'm battered…
well....this song was written after a long conversation with a friend of mine. We talked about making a difference in the lives of those around us. How is that done? Is it done by working like mad? never seeing the kids? What are we taking with…

Very, very raw demo for our 09 RPM disc. Drums are a click track & unmixed; needs one more guitar track, eq, channel compression, an honest-to-god mix, etc...
This one was inspired by Wen's mom; and is therefore dedicated to all those musicians doing RPM, and all musicians who toil away at home to make their music despite what their friends & co-workers might think of their efforts.
thanks everyone for your comments. You are all so encouraging! I'll work on shortening it a bit...my songs have a tendency for going on and on. :) I'll see about throwing in a brigde of some kind, break up the monotony.
Cheers everyone!
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.)
thanks Wendy for the reminder! I'm in. I'm excited to "hear" where this next month will take us. It should be an interesting trip.
Peace to you on your journeying.
i started writing this song 5 years ago and finally recorded it this year. sad to say, but my $$ situation isn't that much different. this is a whiny song from a liberal-arts grad who is a brat and can't really make ends meet in NYC.
i definitely…
The first bioelectrophilia track since returning to the US. This song was made with only 2 saki monkey vocalizations. Note the beginning of the song which demonstrates how one vocalization was turned into part of the percussion.
Ross,
this piece of music is amazing. You bring me to a place of peace, i can rest in your melody. It's really beautiful.....and thank-you for taking the time to upload it for us listen to....really special.
Bless you my friend.

This montage is about making music and what it means to people. It uses comments from a number of classical musicians interviewed for a radio series I record and produce called "The Main Street Sessions". The music is from "The Gospel of Thomas…

You have a wonderful, evocative voice. The start here is fantastic. Very pretty. Shades of Thom Yorke, but thankfully less whiny than he is!
