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

When you
come back to us
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
Seven Sisters of days to come

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

This is my complete entry for the 2013 NaSoAlMo. The album is called Radio and it's a suite of seven songs tied together with the sound of a radio being tuned. It's done.
Song about idolising people. Mr Supercool is anyone we think deserves our idolatry - could be a him, or a her, or even oneself. Mr Supercool cares nothing for anyone. He has no love.
Anyway - glad to be back messing with music again after…
Although I do like your concept and your lyrics very much, I'm sure it will come as no surprise that my favorite part is the psychedelic guitar breakdown in the middle of the song.... Actually though there are quite a few things to like about this track: The synth string pad, the drums (I am so *weak* in this area, and really appreciate what you've done here!), not to mention the brief woodwind interlude (very tasty!) before the final chorus line and then more psychedelic guitar to the out. I've clicked the fave button, but afaik it's still busted.
Love the shifting sections of this piece.... Excellent guitar throughout, obviously --- but the bed tracks are all just excellently put together. Even a tantalizing vocal section at the very end. Well done, all around!!
I think this year marks my fourth crack at NaSoAlMo, National Solo Album Month. This song marks the first time in those four attempts that I've actually finished a song within the month of November.
Song by Nick Plagakis
Lyrics:
I don’t care for love and happiness
I got myself a yacht and a mansion
I don’t believe in God and religion
I got myself sixty four billion
Greed, greed, greed is what I need
Greed, greed, greed is what…
New song. Wrote the guitar part first, lyrics came later. This is one of the first songs I've done more than one track on in quite a while, and also one that isn't dark (unusual for me). Anyway, enjoy!
unfinished track for a three part composition.
If you live in the Fort Worth, TX area and would like to perform this live, send me an email. I'm finishing up part 2 and will start on Part 3 soon. I would like to put together a large ensemble…
Yeah, I know, it's early. But the Banjo Hangout is having a contest for banjo renditions of this tune, and I decided to toss my hat in the ring, so to speak. Might win the 6-string banjo first prize, which I can't imagine having any use for, or…
Molensteen.
Ik zie een molensteen versleten na z’n lange reis.
Door onkruid overwoekerd, traag verslonden door de tijd.
Bij een stenen muur of wat daar nog van over is.
Vertoont het treurige feit van alles dat ooit was word uitgewist…
Comments on Cave Street's stuff
If John was still with us, he would have wished he wrote this one.
Cool song!
nice !
spaced
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!

Excellent! Can't wait to hear the whole thing. I just uploaded mine too! AT won't let me make a playlist though!

This is good stuff, the kind of song that sort of sucks you in and envelops you in it's own little sphere of sound. Excellent collab, gents!
Well it's an excellent song, RJ. Awesome guitar is a bonus!!
beautiful track, k
Great track, Nick!
Nice one! I liked the words a lot. Hope we can do some recording soon. - Michael
very meditative. looking forward to the rest.
This sounds really great! Very nice recording. Good luck on second place, but this might be too good!
Beautiful!
Epic stuff man, really like the drums on the section that starts about 2 minutes in.
Wow that guitar is LOUD and NASTY. Kick out the jams, Reggie!
Intense!!
It sounds like you are in tune with your instrument to me! ~:^)~
I haven't seen the commercials, but I love this track!
stone groove 4:20 coincidence? i think not
uitstekend zang!
favorite button does not seem to be working. :-(
As always, I love it. You are so patient with your music, it totally pays off.
