My first rejected Ramen Music submission.
Too Much
I wrote you a letter but I never sent it
I was afraid you might never get it
or what if you did and I lived to regret it
and it was just too much for me to take
now its four in the morning…
I’ll make my exit on the wind
Nevermore to pretend
That I’m fine
Yeah, I’m good, so good
At doin’ everything I should
To convince you
That I’m okay for today
An’ I won’t crawl out of my skin
I’ll just pretend
Some days…

Awesome, I wish I had more time these days to keep up with everyone. This one was beautiful, tender. I wish the vocals were just a bit higher in the mix... my ears aren't very good. :D

so very good. I love this song. It is the loss of the folks who rejected it I say, It was too good for their purposes. They couldn't handle the deep soul of this track.

Old Paint Ver.II
Continued from Old Paint Version I............
So, I plugged in the cat eater, hit distort and it took on a whole new feel.
I added bass(finger is tore up now), more drums, and low level fuzzed up leads.
The ghost…
Wow, this is one of my all-time favorites of all your stuff I've ever heard, and that's really saying something! Songs like this (which might never have been created otherwise) are just one of the many reasons I love RPM...
Well, song 10 finally. A bit on the heavy side, some odd FX, strange vox, an Ibanez, The ever present harmonica, and some help from Illegal Alien Autopsy.
This was the first song I tracked for RPM. But, since my pen has run out of ink this month…
Reminds me of Deep Purple, one of my all-time favorite bands!
I don't know how to insert the little headbangin' emoticon here, but do know that I am throwin' the devil horns and rockin' out!
I guess I knew this would happen. Talk about creating one's own reality Sheeeeesh. End of the month and my pen has been re-fueled and I added some vox to this one, plus some lead guitar, and a bit of synth strings. I also took a shot at some…
What a fun fourth of July this was... and I love the background sound of fireworks in this! Really brings it back to me.
This live track was recorded by my dearly departed friend, Hippie Mark. He was far and away our number one fan & I miss him more than words can say. ~ Michael
What we are is mostly water
On our way back to the sea
I have made this trip so many times
I'm just glad you're here with me
Fall alone or fall together
Either way we will be one
You and me, we will reach the sea
And have need for names no more…

> Great song altogether. Fabulous guitar and vocals!
Again, it's all props to my buddy Chris. His playing, arranging, and singing never failed to blow me away... He's one of a kind, and I sure miss hanging with him - and always miss him especially when I sit down to write or record a song.

Thanks man! One of the few positive songs on that record... I really liked that one. May need to revive it! ~ Michael

Chris Mitchell, man. I can never give that dude enough props. He's just a killer guitar player, what else can I say?

Thanks, Alex! What a great compliment coming from such a talented musician as yourself! And yes, of course.... er, how far down the line? :-)

Oh, I'm a believer. I can't count the times I've seen music transcend the boundaries of time and space in just such a manner! :-)
Cheers!
Excellent! Reminds me of the mood of Neil Young's Dead Man soundtrack, but like Bethan said, more of an oriental feel... It conjured up an image in my mind of futuristic Ninjurais silently stealing into an ancient abandoned city from the cover of the encroaching jungle.
Funny story about the ending: my MacBook froze up while recording but I decided to keep hitting keys, and when it recovered I had that sparkly sound. It's probably my favourite thing I've ever accidentally created.
Comments on Cave Street's stuff
Solid!! Man this is kick ass sh*t!
Yes - I love it!
I think I've said this before, but those are awesome vocals - Much like the incredible Mark Lanegan. Hell yeah!

Are you playing the dig on this one by any chance?
i like these kind of tunes...just relaxing...soft pillow for my head.
Dude, we need to talk about this one. Ramen may not want it, but I bet we could remix this one and get it on a sound track.
Awesome, I wish I had more time these days to keep up with everyone. This one was beautiful, tender. I wish the vocals were just a bit higher in the mix... my ears aren't very good. :D
Damn man I love this, so tender and fragile. Big time atmosophere on this song.
and I love your music.
This is perfect for a Rob Zombie movie. Desert road, convertible automobile, night falls, you stumble on a psycho hotel, you wouldn't sleep anyway.
Beautiful man!
Amen. :-)
Most intimate. Very nice Michael.
Nice one mate great vocals. Top track.
:-( I hope it's not the last. This is saucy. Liking your lower register. :-)
Lovely song, sexy smooth vocals too. Nice one. I like the sound effects too.
@Dave Berry - Thanks dude, you're too kind.
so very good. I love this song. It is the loss of the folks who rejected it I say, It was too good for their purposes. They couldn't handle the deep soul of this track.
Digging your smokey vocals on this one.Nice one man!
