Feels like I'm on the last lap now. Only 3 more needed.
This one came from a suggestion from Mrs R this morning. I didn't quite fancy it, but…

I had NOTHING. I decided to rest today with so much time left and only 3 to do.
I had this title, but no... must... rest
However, Madame La…
oh yeah!! Another great one. Amazing how these come along. I just love the "As we near the end...." beautiful. Your voice conveys great emotion. The muse is treating you well :)

Midnight in Cowtown. 90 degrees
Too hot for a blanket. Too hot for a sheet
The trash on the sidewalk is trying to sleep
Breathing the bus fumes on Lancaster Street

James, oh, I know. Walk those woods after dark, careful not to wake the sleeping souls. I lived in West Meadowbrook. I'm not sure if you remember, but you and I met through Sunshine.
I love your song.

This one was easy to write but hard work singing and recording.
I'm fairly certain this one is high on the list of "arrange me later" - I kept…
Given it's Valentine's Day ...I thought I'd write a little love song. This is Song #8 for my 2022 RPM challenge. Practiced a bit of breathy indie vocals and harmonies.
Thanks to anyone who's listening. :).
You thrill me
you undo me…
My 7th song for the 2022 RPM challenge. This one is a bit more pensive and slow moving. I always love adding harmony. I was thinking of Bjork (who I love) when I wrote it. I included some flute so my sister can play along next time we jam…
Song 5 for the RPM Challenge. Building tunes around an incessant bass line is oddly appealing to me. This is a bit of a dystopian song of sorts. Thanks to anyone who listens!
Take me to the river
and hold me under water
Bow down beside…

Really caught me from the beginning. Beautiful! I love that vocal style too.
Nicely done! I really like the idea too.....subtext - great theme. You're almost done your FAWM...wow. Great job.

Very inspiring lyrics! I can hear all the anthem-esque background arrangements. Love this one!
Unique, spare instrumentation drives this. Ever heard of Maria Elena Silva?
Cool vibe, right up my ambient alley
GREAT RPM album, Ricia! Dang, so good.
Okay. This is spectacular.
Incessant bass = good. Your vocals = great.
Well, this is simply outstanding.
Thanks, Bill. The main reason for giving details of production is so that I can remember what I did later on!
awesome great--
Excellent --- I am really glad you explained how you did this --- just great -- thanks for doing this-
Very cool Paul!
Wooo. Like this one a lot. Making me think of early Status Quo - not entirely sure why. Love the droney sound of the open E.
