A little white house, just off the highway, ghost of a black cat scratchin’ at the door. Old dry well out in the backyard, we just can’t use it anymore. There are some secrets here. Oh, there’s secrets everywhere. I know nothin’ more or less…
Fourteen days till my ship sets sail, fourteen days of nonstop hail, punchin’ holes in everything I see. Fourteen days of howlin’ wind and rain, fourteen days full of doubt and pain, gnawin’ my guts till finally I’m free. I can’t stop, I can…
When the bombing ends and all that's left is sand and bones and charred remains, what will you think then? Will you call it a win? Or will you lay down and die with all the rest? Its not too late to stop, call this death march to a halt. I promise…

A solar flare is the ejaculation of energy from the north pole or the south pole of this super concentrated point which has turned itself into a black hole because it has so much energy that it’s sucking in everything around it at such an exponential…
All guitars by my good friend Chris Mitchell. I had a chance to record this while I was in Dallas this past Summer. This is a companion piece to my song Secrets from the "Of Sound Mind" album, my RPM 2009 entry.
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

Ouch! My poor brittle heart! Such tender vox against an almost chiming bed of sweet music. Magical. Welcome back, Cave Street!
If I put aside Wake Up, My Skin, Blue, Nothin' to Lose, Do, and Funeral Chant, this is my favorite Cave Street Tune.
Hey, Mark - you got rhythm. Lovely track, Michael.
I really like this, Michael, vox, clapping, the lot.
Wonderful vocal! w;-)
Really comes alive with earphones.
Dreamlike! Nice warm vocal. I love the family sounds.
I wonder if the next to last song in this album had something to do with this song? hehe. Pretty trippy.
