Interpret this song as you wish. The inspiration is a rash of door to door religion salesmen that plague my neighborhood. The conversations they try to engage me in made me ponder their motivation for grace.
This was recorded starting in March of 2010 so I could experiment with some new recording software, and it eventually evolved into what you're hearing.
A basic surf tune inspired by, well, night surfing. I was going for a happy loneliness with…
You can probably interpret this song in a few ways, but the inspiration was based on a move across the country to start a new life. I find there's an interesting tension between settling into your new home and getting use to a new environment…

This one was recorded back in 2011 but I never posted it. I took a listen to it recently and liked what I heard with fresh ears. It's another of my surf tunes which I enjoy making from time to time.

A quick and simple improvisational acoustic tune recorded on my iPhone with Garage Band. Originally meant only as an audio test of my new Apogee One interface, I thought it was catchy enough to post. I called it "Spring" only because I couldn…

This song originated from another old demo I found on a tape dating from 1988. This one is about the evolution of a working stiff at the moment he says fuck it and realizes he's part of the corporate machine.
This tune was inspired by an old Jacques-Yves Cousteau special called "World without Sun". This is one of my favorites from the album because I captures what was hearing in my head at the time. I don't deny the heavy Floyd / Bowie influence…
The August 2023 30 Day Songs prompt came from a list of ChatGPT country song names a friend posted to Facebook. I started off trying to make fun of the genre and instead wrote a song I think I sorta like. Rumor is there's a second mix floating…
I asked to robots to help me write a song in the style of Tom Waits.
Riding on a train to the edge of town
Where the night has just begun
People on the street with nowhere to go
Living hard and having fun
Everywhere I go there’s a song…
I developed a strong obsession with the building blocks of pop songs and tried to craft one. Unfortunately, I wrote it in a key that was high enough that the combination of the rapid-fire words and the pitch nearly made me pass out while singing…
Another song idea from a meme. Or, more accurately, a movement.
The term “Birds Aren’t Real” refers to biological “Birds” no longer existing on United States soil. After the government forcibly made the entire species extinct in the 20th century…
A tale of two songs and a unicorn. The funky instrumental meets the jazzy bits and then Megan joins in on the singy bits.
I've spent years searching for the proper female singer for my songs. I've referred to it as my quest for a unicorn…
RPM 2k22
never need to convince myself
I always knew
surrounded by you
I am at peace where I am
can you say it too
the past is a clue
stop waiting, for things to change
just change, anything that you want
change, anything that you…
I suppose it could be worse
I know I'm lucky I'm all right
But I can tell that you've been cursed
And it keeps me up at night
So few are born to come in first
So many born into a fight
If the roles had been reversed
Would they still believe…
Raised on vinyl and a needle that rides
To a paper circle at the end of both sides
Between the speakers, cover in hand
Sit in silence after Jungleland
I will not trade one bit of my soul for their pieces of gold
I've seen a world they'll…
Song 5 for the RPM Challenge. Building tunes around an incessant bass line is oddly appealing to me. This is a bit of a dystopian song of sorts. Thanks to anyone who listens!
Take me to the river
and hold me under water
Bow down beside…
Bringing back a song from 2011 with a new twist. The song now has drums, bass, and an orchestral backend. This is hopefully part of a larger collection of me reworking older songs with orchestration.
Many thanks to Brian of A Beautiful Scene…
2021 50/90 Song Number 48
Not bad. I like the phaser on the guitars in the A section, and I like the wah on the rhythm near the end. That wash of noise underneath is actually a guitar solo that was sort of hiding the slow wah effect so I…
Never forget the simple pleasure of just listening to music. I wrote a whole album about it a few years ago called The Lost Art Of Listening. This one's about how a song can simultaneously take you away from the concerns of life, yet make you…
There's a darkness creeping in the woods by a brimstone tree
A withered headless horseman traveling on the breeze
A mighty footprint measured 15 inches long
Whispered voices rolling in off the fog
(Chorus)
Transcribe plates made of stone…
Every year a few of us RPM Challenge aficionados record a Christmas track for fun. It's partially to dust off the cobwebs before February, partially just a chance to do something different. This year I decided to do a version of this number, since…
