Goodbye Blue Monday

Goodbye blue Monday
There's nothing else to say
We always knew
we would part this way
Time comes to say goodbye
To pause perhaps and wonder why
Why we always had to be
So blue, so blue
I can see that life…

Sloane did me a favor & played an electric guitar part on this one. I had hoped to work with her more on this project, but she wound up leaving town to help take care for a recovering family member.

(RPM 2011) For obvious reasons, many RPM albums make use of improvisational sound collages. ;-) This is the first of three that divide the record into sections. You may or may not hear the connections in the lyrics, but it actually does make…
Original song: from the album, TheSongOfTheDay.com - December. This was one of the last songs recorded for TheSongOfTheDay.com project. The original version was completely a sixties-inspired orchestra ballad a la something off The Beatles album…

Skip ahead to her in pants,
watch her dance in the living room
in front of all the other dinner guests.
She thumbs her nose at simulacra,
but someone must play Cleopatra
in the PTA's yearly drama fest.
Her husband broke his body…
Reg was reading the paper today about the Spandex vigilante. Now Reg has got himself sorted becoming a superhero appeals to him. Ummmm about the suit i think it should be Blue to match my eyes with a large TTR motif of some sort on the chest in…

Original song: from the album, TheSongOfTheDay.com - January. This song began it's life back in 1999 on an 8-track cassette recorder. In 2007, for TheSongOfTheDay.com project, we were able to overlay drums, re-do vocals, and replace some hummed…
