This is from our album, "When I Was Your Age," recorded entirely in the month of February for our third year participating in the RPM Challenge. "When I Was Your Age" is a collection of 13 songs looking back at when we were kids.
this is the slightly sparkly version of my version of Moschell's "Boxes and Strings" from his 'Circus of Freaks and Fools' RPM Challenge CD. I recorded it as a video last night and redid it in the studio (unfinished sauna) today.

A funky tune about my step-dad. This is an out-take from my RPM09 effort. I used the rock version for the cd, though in retrospect I think this version is better! Oh, well...
The first version.
This is the first and only song I wrote on [arrsuarez](http://alonetone.com/arrsuarez)'s Christmas gift to me, a mbira that he lovingly crafted by hand.

you tell me what you want

i cant give you nothing honey
but this pretty little seed
where has the sun gone
and is it gone forever
will it come back someday

Unappeasable:
She’s so unappeasable
I don’t think that she’s feasible.
Oh, I’ve tried to be reasonable
but she can’t see my point of view.
She’s blind…
wow! how did this get past the gludar? what a cool track. I love the dulcimer. took a summer course years ago... learned a little arlo gutherie. wish I still had one.
100 bpm, f
she sits behind a very large desk
and talks on the phone all long
somewhere inside she's waiting
but i don't know what she's waiting for
slam it down, get up down
run away
she lays upon a very large bed
watches tv and brushes…
One of my darker tracks. This tracks epitomises how RPM felt for me; A progressive struggle where I just got my head down and got stuck in with the thing. In a phrase, this track says to me "Just fucking get on with it."
From your parents you will learn everything and nothing without even realizing
lyrics:
Don't look in the mirror, your skin will never seem as soft
Don't wait in the middle when your mind is already made up
Just make it home, please…
