Toward You
-
With each new day I'll seek a way
To get as close as I may
Toward you
It's my destiny to set you free
Until then I can only see
Toward you
Throughout the night under the light
Of the moon I drive
Toward you
Through rain and snow…
Wicked Savior
-
Your halo's bent yeah
your wings are broken
We shoot for the moon
gonna leave here smokin'
Your tarnished reputation
don't mean nothin to me
A rumor's just that
for myself I'll see
Be my wicked savior
my wicked savior
Let…
Break my Stride
-
Break my stride break my stride
Ain't nothin' gonna break my stride
When I feel this way
There's only one thing to do
Nothin' gonna break my stride
Gonna walk down the road
til I get back to you
Nothin' gonna break my stride…

Heaven Comes
-
Sometimes you have everything
Sometimes you have none
Sometimes you are separate
Sometimes you are one
In the midst of all your suffering
Sometimes Heaven Comes
Here's something for those bitter times
Here's something…

A quickly improvised tune with some stream-of-consciousness lyrics. Written/recorded hastily in the dead of night on Tuesday 11/27 with a short overdub session on Thursday 11/29, when I should have been sleeping.

Agree with Geas on the tumbleweed desert thing you have going on here. I will be listening to this on my next desert cruise....which will be tomorrow morning ;)

Hey thanks for sharing your music! I didn't comment on every track, but I listened to the whole thing as I was working around the house. Nice range of material -- I definitely enjoyed it!
RPM 2013 feat. Gary Fox instrumentation collab
time trickles in
defenses wear thin
these holes in our armor
grow larger each day
steel-edged chills
come in close for the kill
the line in the sand
has been trampled away
it's so wrong…
Wow, great anthemic album closer!! Top notch! Your music is an excellent addition to the alonetone community, thanks for sharing. I hope you will consider uploading your older music too. Peace, Michael
Great album!! All songs are top-notch & radio ready, but this one is my favorite of the batch... reminiscent of some of my favorite Americana tunes. Great hook, great harmonies!
"never quite as perfect as I'd like it to be"
yeah, I know exactly what you mean, but this record of yours was a really fun listen. I'm off to check out other new RPM releases, but I'll be back to check out more of your back catalog. Thanks for sharing!
I've been listening to this album as I've been cleaning up around the house & making lunch. A lot of neat ideas on this album! I like the loud messy bits as much as some of the other directions you go in -- so far, this is one of my favorites.
Jarrett, this is such an amazingly good record, it's another one of those RPMs that I have a hard time believing it was written and recorded in four weeks. Your songwriting, singing, playing and recording are all at a pro level. I mean, I would not be surprised to hear any one of these tunes on the radio. Just excellent.
In fact, I feel awkward about criticizing this record in any way as you are a much more talented musician than I could ever hope to be, but I do have one critique: the only thing I would change is the overall loudness. With the exception of "Echoes of Waves," I had to turn this record way down because the loud parts were actually painful to listen to. Not in a sheer volume sort of way, but in a makes my ears work way too hard sort of way. I'm assuming this is something that happened in the mastering process.
It's just that having to turn my listening volume down so low pretty much kills the excellent dynamics you have written into these tunes. I hope you don't take offense at these comments, because I truly am blown away at the talent on display here -- just my 2 cents on how you could actually improve upon something that is already so impressive.
Thanks for sharing these songs with us!

FOUND IN THE MOVEMENT
She moves in a spinning reminder
A violent link to the past
Don't you dare try to define her
She might not be big, but she's fast
A release of God-given aggression
An arm near her head in defense
Somewhere just short…
Great album Keith, I really feel your sequencing of the songs created a great build. And this last track proves you don't need to collab to make excellent music (but then, we knew that already).
Andy Samford kicking ass on guitar, Brian Martin on bass, and Jim Garn (MTC) on drums... A song that was assembled bass-ackwards.
I'M FIGHTING TIME
Sitting in the movies back in 1985
The first long weekend in July
With Doc and Einstein…

CIVIL WAR
Holding down the borders
What's mine is yours
Folding down the corners
Of pages meaning more
Walking on the wire
Never thought to look for…
I listened to this album last night three or four times in a row... back this morning for more. I admit I am just getting started with checking out all the 2013 RPM entries, but so far this is far and away my favorite. This will be downloaded and burned to disc before the end of the day -- as always, thanks for sharing!!

I TAKE THE BACK WAY HOME
Sometimes I drink a little. Sometimes I smoke a little
Sometimes I flirt a little. Sometimes I don't
Sometimes I sing…
Boy, I can identify with this one from days gone by.... but while these days are a little less "exciting" I do tend to get where I'm going much quicker. ;-) Great tune JMT, keep 'em coming!
This was an RPM track back in the day, and I've been playing it various ways to find a setting for it within the band repertoire. This doesn't sound much like our band would do it but it came out nicely, so i thought i'd share it.
Excellent album, but of course you all know that already! It's hard to imagine anyone writing and recording such a great record in such a short period, but once again you have pulled it off -- I especially liked the second half of the album. This will get many more plays around here!
Comments on Cave Street's stuff
I like this one, CS. Very simple and effective. Good work on the RPM man.
That fuzzy guitar drives the song well. Catchy tune.
Very cool way to revive some of that folk history.
Great album with a variety of engaging songs. Great job!
Field holler?
loving this one from the start to finish....excellent
Love the deep vocal.....
Great job....really like the vocals
Sounds good, kinda reminds me of some of the music in the movie Natural Born Killers.
killer voice
Great stuff, whipped together in a couple of days :) I've put the lyrics on mine for your perusal!
Yeah mate that's cool with me if you think they are good enough.
Good to hear from you mate, this is great.
wonderful ambiance,, you really set the mood/stage for a great drama with this piece,, and yes on to rpm! keep it all going r
Agree with Geas on the tumbleweed desert thing you have going on here. I will be listening to this on my next desert cruise....which will be tomorrow morning ;)
Love the stream of consciousness flowing nature of this. Always look forward to hearing your work here man.
There aint nothing fenced in about you, fella! Another amazing zing zing track.
Very tasty. Mighty fine acoustic sound... and that vocal... yes.
Very Cohen-esque... good stuff, CS.
Great tune M.T. - Got a nice desert,tumbleweed, convertible top down feel to it. Vocals are pretty solid.

The writing reminds me of classic Elton John -- I really like the blend of instruments on this track.
Love this track!

Very nice, laid back RPM 2013. Such a subtle album, I have the feeling this album will reward repeated listening. Thanks for sharing!
Nice one, Brett! I don't know how you come up with some of this stuff, but don't ever stop!!
Classic Bee!! This one has a smile plastered on my face, for sure. Thanks for sharing this Geas.

Just a great vibe, and comes at a perfect time in the course of this album -- a neat little "surprise play" if you will....
This one is just superb, Keith! You really made the most of your RPM with all these first-class collabs!
Yup, still awesome! :-)
