I'm finally happy with this track - v1 was too much of a nothing song and it's been bugging me all the way to the last night of the challenge.

Final version
Every so often when i'm thinking of something else a western song pops up as if there is a soundtrack to a movie running in the back of my head. I might have to gather em all up into a playlist some day.
track nine, or at least…
i've decided to be an infectious disease.
i've decided to be the answer,
the reconstructor.
reanimating that which is dead inside of you.
and if i pretended that i must have a holistic cleansing,
i have proven that it cannot be,
change must spread…

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.

I'm really enjoying the album. You make great sounds, and melodies out of them! Congrats on another RPM finished!

Lyrics
Throw another log on the fire.
Let it Burn for one more day..

This is the first time recorded it (or played it for more than 30 seconds to be honest. My son keeps telling me to be quiet, then jumps on to it himself... ).
Thank you G man for Playing guitar on this. Luv ya bro…
