I think these challenges are so expanding ,I sat back and followed the the progression carefully.
Then to hear what you did with this unusual thread ,the lyrics made it all seem so natural.
I am impressed. More please

And caring becomes a consequence
Look for a reason to smile
The Sun will shine your way

And watch the clouds drift away
Feeling like you…

Nice, a little Beatle sounding which is a good thing to me!! I like the way you double tracked your voice..at least that's what it sounds like..... did you sing it twice or just used computer magic?
love it!!

Mighty cool - and very clever - song. We've all met one when we didn't need or want to... and... er... I strongly suspect I've done it to others myself!!
Nice and jazzy. You sound like you are enjoying yourself.

Well...This is song #10 for my 2022 RPM challenge- the final track for my "album". It's a bit like two songs that found each other somehow. That makes for a very long track! eek. Thank you to everyone who has been listening to my songs...it…
It’s been a fun February listening to both you and Andrew Russe achieve your goals. You have ended up with 10 songs, well crafted and recorded in a way that makes them interesting.
Well done!

The calluses from all this bass playing are coming along nicely! This is another RPM song (song 6) where I built the song from a little bass riff. The lyrics include some quotes and/or references - pick them out and win a prize (ha ha…
My 7th song for the 2022 RPM challenge. This one is a bit more pensive and slow moving. I always love adding harmony. I was thinking of Bjork (who I love) when I wrote it. I included some flute so my sister can play along next time we jam…
Sultry ... Another excellent song, especially considering that you are writing and recording 1 every 2 days. Number 7? I think I've missed a couple. I'll have to go back and look.

Song 3 of RPM 2022. For the many tortured artists I've met with a bit of a dance spin to it. Most of my songs are unintentional and unplanned....they just happen. Thanks to anyone who's listening!! :)
The Minnesota Association of Songwriters issued a writing challenge this January to "borrow" conceptually from a writer that has influenced our writing to create a new original work of our own. Once you hear this, I think you'll get the idea…

Cool song, i dig the harmonica and all the instruments sound fine together. I thought it would be about a guitar when i clicked though :)
So many good stories in that brain of yours!! Love this. Especially fun to think of you driving around with Rita in that Mustang... and clean up the backseat would ya!
ha ha love it...reminds me of my first car.. a brand new 69 rally green Camaro that I got in the fall of 1968 great lyrics!!
Another cracker Greg ....
Awww... fabulous. This has got the dulcimer on it too? I love the textures you create with this and the guitar. And the song... gorgeous.
I think these challenges are so expanding ,I sat back and followed the the progression carefully. Then to hear what you did with this unusual thread ,the lyrics made it all seem so natural. I am impressed. More please

Wonderful song Well sung and played I like the mix too enjoyed KC
Well done, nice song and great production!
Love the message here. And the sound is cool. I like that background picking. What is that, your mandolin?
Nice, a little Beatle sounding which is a good thing to me!! I like the way you double tracked your voice..at least that's what it sounds like..... did you sing it twice or just used computer magic? love it!!
Thanks for this one. Sounds nice and it made my day better.
OMG!!! There is nothing better than this... I cracked up totally.. You are Never Wrong indeed!!!! Love this to pieces - an instant fav. How did you ever come with this one?
Oh that’s why you are so difficult to deal with. I am just wrong How’s that working for you
Don't think I'll lay on your couch, but I like the song :-) Enjoyed! KC

Let’s hope you’re singing about Eunice who just blew in and out your life. Good riddance.

You are a smoking hot song writer these days. These are all great songs and an ispiration to the rest of us.
Great story telling. I love the Tattoo part. Some of those never wash off. Maybe that can be your next song.
Lovely.
I love it! Great title and topic for this song.
Great Folk flavored song and lyrics. It's nice to hear this kind of music. We need more of it.
You are on a ROLL One after another. You go girl !!!!!

Great sounding guitar and over all recording. You have the touch with Logic Pro.
Beautiful
That’s a great sounding demo Andrew! I share your thoughts on RPM. I did it for several years, but now I would rather take my time.
OMG, now that’s the blues.
Song 4 on day 6 of the RPM Challenge! That’s impressive. 4 excellent songs so far.
Well done! I enjoyed this
Introspective and touching. A heartfelt emotional message.
Yes .... I like this!
Another listen …. Conclusion … you are one of the best songwriters on this site.
