Thought I'd give this piece the same title as the Sound-In event (3-10/3/2022) to which it was submitted, since, entirely by accident, it came out sounding like that phrase being repeated continuously if you use your imagination enough.
If tomorrow you find yourself far away from me
Running to another city
If you don't have the time to hide away with me
Disappear into the scenery
Am I no longer worth
The effort to search
For the life we were dreaming
For the love we…
I know sometimes things just ain't right
Like oil and water we survive
Y'know I don't hate you
Maybe we're too much alike
Push and pull
We'll survive
We're not getting younger these days
And we're both sure and set in our ways
We fight…
Broken things on my window sill
Remind me every day
Of my constant lean towards failure
Always getting in my way
Perpetual disappointment
I never follow through
Can't count on me for nothing
I'll only disappoint you
There's a war in…
You gotta work long hours, Grind that stone
Work your fingers to the bone
Gotta make that money while you can
Before retirement and old age sets in
Do what you can for the company and
The boss 'll take care of you
Forget about vacation…
If we take a moment Ignore what divides us two
Just take a moment What would we see
Would I see a brother Might I be your friend
Might there be more that binds us hand in hand
Between you and me are the same old songs
Between you and me…
If I'm out of words
to brighten up your day
All that's left of us
is rust and decay
Remember these moments
more than just alive
Think of these
times when we thrived
If the sun ceases to shine
forever runs out of time
If we're all out…
This is how these things start
My sad excuse for a work of art
Put in the effort, set the pace
Hardly anyone listens anyways
Years of this takes its toll
Only few ever know
All this work done in haste
A whole month gone to waste
Used Hainbach's excellent Landfill Totems VST for these noisy ruminations. Also had some samples from an LP recorded by a local high school band nearly 40 years ago, but I re-rendered this version without those samples, just in case...
Kevin…
You group of investigators discover a secret door in the basement that opens into a rough hewn passage. You follow it for about sixty feel before you hear ...roll a samity check.. You wander aimlessly into the warm yellow glow of the chamber beyond. Your only reason for living is to follow the intoxicating music coming from the portal... aaaaand that's a wrap on the campaign. :)

A cool mellow trip.

Nice groove!
So, spit takes are real thing apparently. Cleaning the wall now.
Love the progression and depth to this song. So simple, yet so moving.
Yeah, why not :)
This song hits you right in the feels.
Nice one.
Has a very classic sound - love that Beach Boy's vibe with a 90's punk touch! Fantastic song!
I don't want to work anymore...
I could see the lot of us RPMers singing this in a bar somewhere in downtown Portsmouth NH. This could be the anthem to our lack of get together.
And quite the change of pace.. That Dobro is an excellent addition!
Those guitars are amazing! Love the allusion to RPM even if it is self deprecating, it certainly captures the feeling toward record production month.
