To me this track sounds like getting lost in a funhouse of mirrors while a jungle drum duet spurs one ever deeper into the heart of the crazy maze. Eventually, just as the urge to give into the encroaching insanity can no…

I thought Olivia might sing this one, but she said my version was "awesome" and I will have to take her word on that. I made up lyrics which seemed as if they might be suitable for her to sing, but I don't really know what they mean…
Pick it up first thing in the morning
Looking down when the day is dawning
Takin it along from room to room
Bright icons on a tiny screen
Means more to you than me
I’m hoping you notice pretty soon
It’s clear, and I fear
It’s understandable…
Worked with a couple of college interns last year who'd never heard of any band I like. I felt like an asshole bragging about going to shows that happened 20 years before they were born.
Lyrics:
Oldie Bear was there at woodstock

Like the bass line on this one especially. Really fun album, Dave. I like hearing you do different things with your voice. I'd like to hear some more vocal experimentation from you! Excellent RPM!
I wrote this song for my brother, who'd recently had surgery. Yes, I know it's long. I cut something close to three minutes out of it...FWIW it's supposed to butt right up against the next track "Oldie Bear" but you can't really do that in an…
A post on the Facebook RPM group featured a quote from an aging Dave Grohl complaining about Kids These Days and Their Terrible Music, pointing out that the current number-one song was about someone's butt. So, I wrote a song about my butt…
I wrote this from the point of an old person, such as myself, but my vocals came out so bad that I had to get Olivia to sing it for me.
Lyrics:
Looking over a modern meme
It's the worst that I've ever seen
Everything looks a little strange…
There is actually a LOT of goose poop at my office park, but I opted to use the joke title referring to my favorite Beach Boys song.
FWIW, the drum loops came from https://www.organicdrumloops.com/
Woah, this is a woozy little number.... maybe it's the goose poop vapors going to my head. Very Weenish, especially when the vocals come in!! Nice one.
This one is the only track that I am a little disappointed in. I thought it would be a banger and a lead-off track, but I had trouble getting it to exactly where I thought it would be. I think the problem is that I am nowhere near as good a singer…
This song features my first attempt at recording myself playing a drumkit. I only did four takes, sorry.

They’re gonna say I stole this song
And I knew it all along
They own the copyright on C, G, C, G, D

I asked Olivia to name something (in three or four syllables) that causes her consternation. Her answer, "Society". Sometimes she follows my scratch vocal line when I record a demo for her, this time she just let it rip, and it is probably the…
This song is for everyone who has failed at their Assertiveness Training.

Ahoy, shipmates, it's that there time of year again, when yer ready to hang over the lee rail on account of all them insipid Christmas songs they've been blatting at you everywhere you turn ever since Halloween, if not before.
Well, I've got…
This is a rough cut, but I like it. Here are the lyrics:
TOMORROW WILL BE YOU
It’s been a long time since I saw you
I’m at a loss for words
But when I heard the news
I went straight to your room
There’s no point in looking…
> Uncle Paul is still kickin’ it.
I was beginning to wonder! :-)
Good to hear you. Reminds me of Blue Öyster Cult's Revolution by Night period. Thant's damn good stuff Geas.
Rock on.

Comments on Cave Street's stuff

This is one freakin' brilliant album! w;-)
Oh...WOW! w;-)
Wonderfully beautiful. w;-)
Loop away. This is fabulous! w;-)
I like fun houses. I like insanity. I love this track! w;-)
WOW!
At age 7? Fabulous!
Instant fave! w;-)
I love it. from Selena
This made my brain implode. Noodles! Of course, it will be stuck in my head for days.
I'd say the description fits the song to a T!
Deelightful!
This one is cool.
Classic Cave Street. If there is such a thing.
I once went through a funhouse. The ride jock jumped out of the dark and startled me. I punched him in the chin. Total idiot's delight.
Shiny sounds.
Campfire song indeed! I want to do a washboard layer :)
Sweet!
Comments made by Cave Street
Really digging the bass on this one... and slide guitar too!!
Great opener, Dave. This and the changes of this one actually reminds me of some old school Blue Rodeo.
Like the bass line on this one especially. Really fun album, Dave. I like hearing you do different things with your voice. I'd like to hear some more vocal experimentation from you! Excellent RPM!
Dave, I think this is one of your best songs & best vocals, love the effect on the guitar break too.
LOL, TMI. I actually wish I could favorite this one twice!
Dude I can totally hear this as a Go-go's song. Another excellent vocal by Olivia!
Woah, this is a woozy little number.... maybe it's the goose poop vapors going to my head. Very Weenish, especially when the vocals come in!! Nice one.
More excellent lyrics, and I actually like the vocal blend. Only halfway though this album, and I'd say it's your best ever!
Great lyrics, Dave! And you play the drums better than I ever will.... keep it up!
Wow, what a great vocal from Olivia!! Great arrangement too, Dave. Definitely one of your best.
This one is really great, Dave!
Nice harp!!
Too much, and well done! Yar aughta post em wurds, ya scurvy dawgs!
great vibe my bros
Ready for some more, Nick. Whatcha got?
Tried to comment, but it disappeared....

This one ended well before I was ready... more of this please! Well done & thanks for sharing. ~Michael
This is deeply felt and as other have noted, quite thought provoking. Thanks for sharing, Nick. Hope you are doing well.
Dude, I love it. I want to hear more of your creations!
