Maybe it’s a trick of the light
The way your eyes shine at me
I don’t want to fight and I can’t take flight
Somethin’ tells me I’m gonna see
Just what spell you put on me
I can’t let you out of my sight…

Featuring Mark Treefrog
This one features Treefrog "playing the wind" on a talking drum...
She’s like the wind
that moves through the night chasing ghosts
She sees the lights,
she sees the shadows and she knows
There is a difference
between the day and night…
In the morning, when we awoke, there was nothing. There were no ashes from the fires of the previous evening. The time for decisions was past. "Yes" was the answer to all questions; and none was the knowledge retained. Wisdom laughs at such folly…

@ minus the hat - the album cover is actually based on a slice of red onion :-)
Earthlings, eh? Well I've never heard them (or of them) but I'm gonna check 'em out straight away!
Thanks for listening!

Once You asked me
If I could see the end
It's okay to tell the truth
I don't want you to pretend
And I said I would not lie
But I don't believe it ends
It goes on And on Forever Forever
It goes on…
Hey! It would seem that you are the first person (apart from me) to listen to my rpm album in it's entirety! Hope you liked it! :o)
This is a lovely song - reminds me of latter day Leonard Cohen.
PS You mentioned my lyrics, if I have time I will post them on each of the tracks.

Just what spell you put on me
I can’t let you out of my sight…
I have touched and I have known
the memories of stone
And echoes of the oceans
are etched upon my bones
My body's of the earth
and my spirit's of the sky
My mind is of the matter
these memories will never die
So let's go down below…

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…
I keep writing songs about communism, for some reason. I thought it was slightly amusing to discover that Mashino actually IS an industrial town. Sounds like "Machine". Get it? Get it??
I love this little PSYCHEDELIC piece so much, I'd steal it if I could... but everytime I try to get ahold of it, it wriggles out of my grasp.... so it goes
Cave Street posted a track recently, their contribution to the Woody Guthrie Project, organised by Akron Family.

I wanted to take a shot at this too, so here's my demo. It was really just half…
Ever since i heard Cave Street's Creator Protector Destroyer (from their 2010 RPM album) run from that song back into the opening didj of Onion Bell (the first track) i wanted to put the lyrics to that pulsing energy, and today i had time to give…
You're a fantastic songwriter, I'm looking forward to hearing all of your stuff.... would really like to see lyrics for the songs that have them! (Love the change just before two minutes in.)
I made a song out of the fable "The Boy and the Schoolmaster" by Jean De La Fontaine, that french writer from the 17th century.
And here's the story:
"
A boy, that frolicked on the banks of Seine,
Fell in, and would have found a watery grave…
For this I wanted to create some longing sounding atmosphere. To create the (somewhat annoying) guitar part in the second half I used an ebow.
"
you stand a long time at the door
observe the lighting on the floor
you are not welcome anymore
no…
