This was written during a time when I was away from home a great deal. My better half called me, and the gist of the conversation became the lyrics of this song.
ER
rpm 2011
You told me kid, better quit fucking around
But I could see my ass from a hole in the ground
And you told me son enjoy it while you can
And not it’s too late cause I’m an old man
Too fuckingo ld to be useful
To fucking old to enjoy…
rpm 2011
Friends hate you in every way
You fuck them over every day
Jobless homeless knocked up too
Revolving cycle is what you do
2 cars on blocks in the front yard
Complain how life is really hard
Think you don’t deserve this pain…
I think you mean blocks, not car on blacks. Unless you have issues regarding race that you aren't speaking of? I don't believe in karma. It's another fantasy imagined by feeble, weak minds. This is an emotionally charged song. Is it about someone in your life? Sorry to hear you know such an bleeeeep.
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…
A few months back we had a "Beatlesfest" on songcrafters.org.
I contributed this and Yesterday.
This one's a bit of a departure for me. Not the song itself - it's been one of my favourites ever since I was tiny (I preferred Robin Gibb's…
This is a piece written for 37signals, made to accompany a [fun video they did on Letterpress printing](http://37signals.com/svn/posts/2795-a-letterpressed-thank-you)
The track is best listened to in context of the video, since it's scored…
The Hammered Dulcimer melody haunted me for weeks, but it didn't come together until Jamie played drums on it. Takes a long time to pay off, but I hope if you hang with it, you'll dig where it gets too.
I've been listening, and this is very dreamy roomy stuff (in general). Easy on the ear. I kept feeling this particular track was just on the verge of taking me somewhere I really want to go. Excellent.
Final version
Day 28
Anyone else still writing songs?
this is the result of trying to listen to too many mixes in one day. Sometimes it's just easier to record something else.
Reworked the vocals a bit (quite a bit). And yet again! And now, Gumbo Stu is singing backup bits. Thanks for the vocals Gumbo, a very welcome addition!
And, as requested, here are the lyrics:
I'm Not Afraid
You can blow me up
You…
Singer is the weak link. 12 string Guitar is good. Best song I have heard yet, However still needs depth. No lead Guitar, Can't hear the bass. Could have been a mixing problem. Singer is too loud compaired to the rest of the band. I have been a lead guitarest for over 30 year and it adds depth.

Cute song Terry and I really like the backing.
I enjoyed this song. Sad you are so angry. If you eat balanced, you mind will be balanced. I wish you the most happiness.

Dedicated to Kurt Vonnegut
ya floored me here, man
this song is perfect, but i'm going to cover it anyways.
Totally agree with the Gumbo -- this needs a music video, with low budget puppets.
i just realized that your reading off one of Chris' old report cards...brilliant
So far, a very catchy album. I like the whimsical approach to electronica you take here.
Truly inspired and original. And really damn catchy too!
sounds great... amazing work... i never heard of an ebow until now :)

Don't publish this. Not ready MEJ
Still needs work. Good Start. No lead Guitar. needs more depth. MEJ
Good Start, the one Guitar is good and the pinchs are good. Power cords are good. Needs a good lead guitar with the other. MEJ
