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.
incredible album gumbo..i'm going to download this to the ol'pod so i can listen to it in the car and at work...love it..reminds me of all my old folk/blues/bluegrass fav's like roscoe holcomb, bukka white, bill monroe, son house, dock boggs, blind willie mctell, tampa red, etc....great job

An unaccompanied song about bedtime. Not a lullaby though. Oh no!
What does anyone think of the 'cat's moustache' line - it seems like that's a make or break call right there and i like it when i read it but it's hard to sing without…

rpm 2011

rpm 2011
Making music everyday alone in my dark hole
Pumping out my silliness for not a single soul
Stinking up the internets with links to stupid songs
Oblivious that no one clicks and no one sings along
There's a word for people like…
"I Was Born"
Lyrics and Music by Daniel Parkhill
Greetings to my only friend, sacrifical lamb.
Ask me where my mind has been, ask me where I stand.
Guess it isn't real, guess it doesn't matter much.
Ash to ash and dust to dust, etcetera and such…
rpm 2011
If I scream louder
Could you understand
If I scream louder
Will I be a man
If I scream louder
Would it become more clear
If I scream louder
Would it ease your fears
Screaming at the top of my lungs
If I scream louder

"Fail"
Lyrics by Daniel Parkhill, Music by Daniel Parkhill and Keith Landry
There's a price to pay to be the boy who popped out from a storybook
And every single day I find the jury's giving me the alibis.
So let me tell you:
I'm so-so tall…
