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.

i cant give you nothing honey

She’s blind…

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…
A song I wrote and recorded in one day (the day before the RPM Challenge ended, actually). I really stretched my abilities as a picker here (duff notes and all), but I shamefully admit I really like this song. A reminder to me of the strength…
