RPM 2015 Feb. 18 update: I cut a new vocal for this one which is an improvement, but this mix is still not right. Dunno if I'll have time to fix it before the deadline... (This is the full length track as opposed to the truncated version with…

Psychonaut adrift

won't you please
do your best

Psychonaut, o psychonaut

Don't let me down

Like so many times before
I know there'll be so many more
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
I know my enemy by name
Survival is a deadly game
Don't let me down
Don't let me down

I Saw It Today

Dancin' here at the end of the world,
we're just dancin' here
I saw it today it was there for me,
it was there for me to see
That's the way it has to be
Seven Sisters

Seven Sisters in the sky
known from days gone by
Seven Sisters of the drum
Seven Sisters seen by night
shining ancient light

They Don't Let Go
--
They don't let go
no they don't let go
you think you'll walk away
They don't let go
no they don't let go
no matter what you pay
Don't no they don't
no they never let go…
I like this head-out-of-the-box composing style. Groovy sounds. This one moves me. Nicely driven beat with the bass, sweet wah wah guitar, and drums tossed out the window. I TRULY love this!!!

Ah hell no, now this is just too groovy! This one caught me by surprise, it's not the sound or genre I'm use to from you, but it's freaking fabulous! Great job -- gorgeous!

Hold The Nighttime

Hold the nighttime just as close as you can. Get to know it. Yeah, make it your friend. Taste the darkness and you'll understand. The moon reflects the light on the land. But not everything is what it seems... in this dream…
Golden Days

Golden days, golden days are ahead of me
Goin' where the wind don't blow so cold
Endless Summer, soothe my soul
Where the streets are lined with gold
Golden days, golden days are ahead of me

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…
Comments on Cave Street's stuff
If John was still with us, he would have wished he wrote this one.
Cool song!

I like the beat, and feel of this song. Nice.
Excellent..hope this will be longer.?

What a delightful, tasty mix of vocals, well mastered. FABULOUS!

Did I ever tell you how much I adore Cave Street? Oh yea, I have. So many time before. Of course, there will be many more.
Instant fav. I so love your vox man. Nice guitar playin'. Yeah! Jammin' M.T.
Oh . . . this is good.
Pleasant and delightful.
"(Hint: it’s neither of those)." -- and it's not a Beatles cover either! ;) Nice melody on the lead guitar. Cool vocals.
Woo - creepy. Love it.
Golden! ;)
Nice Creative Approach. RPM will bring that out in a person. Very refreshing!
Sweet guitar playin' man. I can't wait for my Golden Days. I think it comes with my AARP membership card. :)
Nice rollin' droning !
For some reason I find myself agreeing 100% with what Gene Eric Mann said about this song, as if he were me!
Comments made by Cave Street
Funky as hell!
Nothing wrong with this... Robert Fripp would be proud!
Way to shred those vocal chords, Dave! Get out of the way, Lemmy!
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
PS - Dave, please post your lyrics for all these tunes....
