I suppose it could be worse
I know I'm lucky I'm all right
But I can tell that you've been cursed
And it keeps me up at night
So few are born to come in first
So many born into a fight
If the roles had been reversed
Would they still believe…
If I told you how well I know you
Would you tell me it's not true
Have you got yourself believing
No one could know you like I do
I know it's been a long time coming
So many others you thought would treat you right
But I'm gonna show you…
Everybody's looking for a savior
To tell them how to live before they die
As if they can't control their own behavior
Or trust what they can see with their own eyes
Mindlessly believing what you tell 'em
When everything you tell 'em is a…
Raised on vinyl and a needle that rides
To a paper circle at the end of both sides
Between the speakers, cover in hand
Sit in silence after Jungleland
I will not trade one bit of my soul for their pieces of gold
I've seen a world they'll…
Fantastic song. I came here from the RPM Challenge 2022. I really love your musical sensibility. Well done. I am looking forward to checking out the other tracks in the album.
Mikey, this whole RPM is excellent listening!!! Well done all around, and thank you for giving beautiful voice to the kinda anxieties and thoughts we have surrounding this pandemic and the way it’s been and is being handled. Put that with your wonderful production, and it’s art. You are artful! Congrats on the record and RPM completed!

Begin to see me, worthy Sailor, navigator
Living on the ocean for days
The spirit of the sea lies below us
Above us, dark skies of gray
I just can’t let it go
The search for the grail has gone cold
But a wreck of a ship lies below us…
I got tired of playing by the rules. (The album concept was using only portable instruments which I could carry in one trip.)
This track uses every functional piece of gear I own at least once. In no particular order . . . TR-606, TB-303…
When I was five, my mother gave me a little stuffed animal, a hippo, and though I tried I could not think of a name for him, so I called him Nothing. Nothing the hippopotamus. I was in the yard playing with Nothing when I made up the Nothing song, and I sang it all day. This February is the first time I have recorded it.
my mother would love that.
RPM 2022. I finished a song.. does that count?
Well the early bird
Catches the worm
Eats it up
And shits it out
Onto the lawn
And into the dirt
Where the worms crawl
And use the soil to form
To be eaten once more
By the early birds…

Good work. I have to admit I'm not much on instrumentals, but this one drew me in.
Epic closer, utterly breathtaking in its melancholic, ethereal beauty.
The most accessible song in the set, but no less impressive. Gorgeous soundscapes, irresistible hooks and melodies.
Oh my, this is such an arresting piece; moody and dynamic.
The feels... love the chill, atmospheric vibe.
Haunting, atmospheric, and gorgeous.

...there is nothing like a dead line to charge ones imagination.
This is great. Getting Paul McCartney vibes from this. The sort of ditty you can teach little kids to sing.
When we first signed up, we chose World music and Field recording as our style of music, hence this song.
