This was a write it and record it in one session song challenge that my songwriting friends and I came up with this week. Lions and Lambs was started thinking of spring, but it turned into a song about relationships... as they often do.

This is my second piece for the RPM challenge... And it's a big milestone for me... the first time I ever played my own instrument along with it! It's rough, but you gotta keep trying and start somewhere, right? Greg Connor... you'll understand…

I agree with Greg -- it is indeed like Paul's recording was made for you. The lyrics ROCK! I dig the mix own of multiple vocal tracks -- great job. Gonna play it again right now!

Nicely done Colleen! Pretty melody and a really resonant situation with different meaning for everyone. Traveling alone is really big idea! Thanks for sharing it.

It was raining in the parking lot
We ran all the way to the door
That's when you said,
"I love you but I don't need you any more."

This song has been the biggest mess of the month. It was the second idea I had, the first that wasn't dropped. I have fought with it more than any other song I've ever recorded. The drum parts have been recorded twice. They rhythm guitars have…
BROKEN BOTTLES
Broken bottles on the shore
You're molded to the bathroom floor
Just like you were the day before
All throughout the year and more
No excuse, you're such a mess
You break your word, you're honor-less
A heartless soul…
Hi Rob!
Thanks for your kind note. I would love to collaborate on another tune. If you have some blues vibes you can help me with, I'd appreciate your thoughts on how to make Baby in a Grown-up's Body come to life. It's posted here a few tracks ago on my page. Glad to know you got internet back. Hopefully the worst of the storms are behind us!
Have a great day,
Colleen
CHECK IT OUT!! It's the very elusive and thought to be the stuff of fabled musician's lore, A "completed" song by the guy that I AM!

Hi Robby! This was so much fun to work on with you. I really love it upon hearing it again. Thanks for the opportunity to collaborate and I hope we can do it again!!
I am learning a bit more each day about how to write/compose for guitar ,, quite fun. This RPM piece is dedicated for our 16 and 1/2 year old mini red Dachshund,, Howie.. though blind and mostly deaf, and recovering from illness, he still…
This is the first time I have played in drop D
this is a Springsteen song that he borrowed the title from a Pete Seeger song..and I like the way Warren Haynes plays it live...so here is my humble attempt at it...
Hope you enjoy the trip. The bass line kept my fingers busy on this more aggressive Psychedelic Folk tune. The poem is actually three crammed into one, all about the same dream.
LAST NIGHT
With a subtle touch
I have said enough
But you…
This song is the concluding song on my RPM Challenge February album. It is a good-bye to the project.

Not a good-bye to Alonetone

SEE YA
It has been a lot of fun

I woke up this morning and looked out the window at all of the snow. The endless landscape of blank, frozen emptiness, and I just felt sick. I wanted nothing more than to go back to bed and sleep until May. So what did I do to combat this depression…
Comments on Colleen Dillon's stuff
Oh yes!
Crickey! That's how you start the challenge right there! Absolutely.. Better start listening!
Excellent. Oozing charm. Love the lyrics
Authentic rootsy treat. Congrats all
Nice early 80s touch.. Enjoying stuff like this at the most. Great synth
One of my favs. You did a wonderful vocal melody for this tune. This song JAMS!
Ah . . . It's this song that Paul remixed. It has a little more reverb on your voice. It mixes with the music perfectly.
Is this the song that Paul remixed? It sounds good.
I agree with Greg -- it is indeed like Paul's recording was made for you. The lyrics ROCK! I dig the mix own of multiple vocal tracks -- great job. Gonna play it again right now!
Great song, Colleen. Your instincts were spot on with this collab.
Excellent . . . It's like this music was made for your lyrics. Great lyrics Colleen Nice music Paul!
nice job ...very creative adding lyrics and melody to an existing recording....hmmmm...Lennon and Dillon...has a nice familiar ring!!!!
I just remembered our "Group Photo". I'll bet these guys would like to see all the pretty girls.
Nice! Because you're baaaaaaahd!! So many layers of the season in this one!:)
Nicely done Colleen! Pretty melody and a really resonant situation with different meaning for everyone. Traveling alone is really big idea! Thanks for sharing it.
Really like this guys
Somehow we'll have to find a way to have a virtual jam session one day. Ron and Gene can come to MN!
this may be your best yet.....I love the mandolin....Greg's guitar is awesome...all around great sound, vocals and lyrics
Great job, guys! Y'all make me want to move to Minneapolis. Is it all that snow that makes y'all such talented musicians and songwriters?
Lots of Fun !!!

Wow! I love this song. Sounds so old time and the lyrics are amazing.
Really great song. The vocals and style bring to mind some work by Dawes, one of my favorite bands. This is cool!
