Another track from the same Gakken/SMM/RFX system as the previous one. Also submitted to Sound-In, but this time "Conducting Ourselves" 23/2 - 2/3/2023.
wow. this is like those electric insects settings on my supernova II ,.. I don't remember the setting was in either the E set of 128 presets or the F set of presets It will take time to go back there and find that . I know I have played with that setting too and altered it lots I hope I did not loose the original setting by saving the new settings with the changes.. mmmm I guess I can go into my preset library on the desktop and find it --- probably easier then searching the synthesizer for the electric insect settings.. they did not call the setting electric insects but something similar.. thanks for making this --- really great loving this.
IF ONLY
You are my favorite If Only
If only I'd showed up in time
If Only's the name of my pony
And we're always a little behind
If only, if only, if only
It echoes thru my lonely life
If only, if only, if only
I think I'd be ready…
Whatever twisted fate befell those contaminated by the orange mutagen, they began to wriggle, writhe, and squirm their way from the subway, swamps, and sewers, to spread their glowing cheer.

Draft recording, plan to add an acoustic at the beginning and possibly a melodica. The vocals will be re-recorded when I'm not sick. These were always intended to be a placeholder track.
oh yes! This is awesome and professional. Wow. Vocals great & catchy electric guitar riffs...it's got all the goods. Your collaboration is producing some great music! Looking forward to hearing the whole album when it's done. (ps. thanks for the listens and the fun feedback)
Song #5 for RPM 2023 - half way to the completion of the album! Wrote this after a very long late night walk of meditation.
And the rain came down
It wouldn’t stop
As we made our way to the mountain top
And the rain came down, the rain…
Song 8# of my RPM Album. I love Persian scales and so I wanted to play with that a bit here. I managed to do my own finger snapping through the whole tune and didn't use a loop - I'm known for my rather loud snapping ability.

This is great, I feel like that scale is a cheat code though. Although I couldn't just slap it into one of my songs and expect it to work, so maybe not a cheat.
As someone who can get 7-8 snaps before I have all the percussive bite of a rabbit landing on a velvet blanket, that is indeed an impressive run.
Song #9 for my RPM album. Back to using my bass as the back bone for this one. Vocals were recorded in one shot like a live recording (not easy to catch my breath in between phrases sometimes...eek). Made up a harmony for the last chorus...that…
Hey, thanks for the comments and listens. I was getting notices in my in-box and wanted to jump over and I've been waiting for a chance to check out what you've been doing. Been harder to keep up with FAWM this year as I've been focusing on collabs, made it hard to dabble into RPM listens.
From those opening bass notes, I knew I made the wrong choice in what I spent my listening time on. A favourite right out of the gate.
That hook is a thing of beauty. So simple, and so complex. I love it.

Made it through another year
Still don’t know why I’m here
Make some music drink some beer
Sounds alright to me
Loved ones leave
Friends come then go
Everything can change so quick
Don’t let the bullshit bring you down
Just enjoy this…

Beautiful! This really captures so much of my experience (my favourite time for walking). This is a very well composed piece and the playing and singing are amazing. Thank you

Violet Lea James Michael Taylor you really are one of the best songwriters alive.
Clever work!
Absolutely Beautiful. *Be your own medicine*
Thanks Ricia, always great to see a fellow RPMer!
HA, and to thetworegs - this song is certainly not about me!
That’s a pretty cool sound

Absolutely beautiful imagery! Love the picking along the way giving such a quiet peaceful feeling! Well done guys!!
Sounds great Ted!
A nice kind of baroque style little ditty with a clever title. :) BW
A nice heartfelt ballad. But I do hope there will be many more good days in the future. :) BW
🔥🔥🔥🔥
those lyrics! Great melody (and the title really captured my attention). Lovely guitar progression. I get a Neil Young vibe here (in the best way).
very cool song. Love those lyrics and a great groove. I also like the way it ends. Great to hear you again!

Very unique and almost mesmerizing. That's a lot of finger snapping.
