Great vocals! Raw and honest. I love nuances that cannot be replicated, it lends to a one-of-a-kind recording.

Sounds great! Impassioned vocals and sweet sounding acoustic guitar. There's just something about simple and sparse arrangements. I can see where you're coming from in regards to RPM, there is a significant difference between writing and production. I think I enjoy the production side of things more, and once I finish with an RPM, I rarely go back and touch it. I'm an inept writer, so the thought of writing 14 songs in a month would give me anxiety!

Very cool man I like this one

Nice and jazzy. You sound like you are enjoying yourself. As for Barbara, word has it that she has been observing a full moon through the neighbor’s window.

oh ok classic guitar finger style

Andrew: I am working on the lyrics and tightening up a few things. I am saving vocals for last for all of these tracks. Obviously, this one could use a bunch of lyrics. I was going for a very loose, spacey jam... I wanted it to feel like the drummer was trying to find it. I appreciate your notes and the Electric Ladyland reference is very kind! I look forward to figuring out the lyrics to this one.

I appreciate your kind words tremendously, this is a special one. There should be a space between "Signs" and this and I appreciate you spotting that for me. I will add some space at the end of signs... what is another :23 on a 13-minute song?

Andrew, Thank you for your kind words! I appreciate you listening and I will return the favor with yours. Should I give "FAWM 2022 Song-writing Demos" a spin?

Love the massive open sound you get.

Woah! Love this. I follow you, so I got the notification, but couldn't remember why... (My brain's going in my old age!) ... But when this started, AH! That's why...

where are we?? Oceanworld --- I might drown -

Excellent RPM. There's some real standout tracks for me. Nice one.

LOVE the vibe on this... And the lyrics... wow. I was messaging someone, and the tale in this just DEMANDED my attention... gotta go back to them in a minute! I'm wondering whether this was the idea that was originally intended to go on With Signs Following? It's FABULOUS here.

Wow - this one is longer than I was expecting! I'm listening to your RPM playlist while monitoring non-music stuff in another window (and holding a book, an actual book!) ... and I was thinking I'd lost track of what was going on! This is very trippy - I'm in the latter half of this track now, and what it's most reminding me of is Electric Ladyland period Hendrix. This is mighty cool. Are you going to have a version with the lyrics you were planning?

Love those harmonics.

Just been reading your blurb - oh man... what I nightmare. I've been recording acoustic demos for the FAWM challenge, I gave up worrying about noise in the end, otherwise I'd have destroyed more than one guitar!. The noise from outside (and from significant other snoring on the other sofa one afternoon... I kid you not, it's in there somewhere!) has been somewhat worse than usual. No tooth infection... although I do have a crown that fell off months ago that maybe I should get fixed before I get an infection!

Cool track. Love that guitar.

The only failure is not trying. So you win!

Quite a challenging album, an emotional rollercoaster; everything from an air of pessimism, to poignancy, to heartfelt. As usual, you have a great way of painting pictures and telling stories through your lyrics. I know you mentioned that you would be proud if this was to be you last album (I'm paraphrasing), and I would agree because it's a great album. However, at times the album is quite dark, which is a bit of a departure from the optimism I'm used to hearing. Hope you continue with your music.

Great track! Love the full instrumentation. You should open up your singing like this more often.
