I left my home in paradise when warning signs begun
With a member of my aging family
I left behind the trees so tall they almost blocked the Sun
And a lake so big it looked just like the sea
The wind blows cold through paradise in winter…

Oh yeah. What a song. Paints all sorts of images/stories in my head. But yeah, I end up yearning for the Paradise I recall myself... Faved, accidentally unfaved, and FAVED again! (Got a bit clicky there lol)

I had myself a dream last night
As I tossed and turned in bed
The window was open wide
The street noise jangled, in my head
.
I was dreaming of a better time
It was all so clear to me
Wind whistled through the pine trees…
I had myself a dream last night
As I tossed and turned in bed
The window was open wide
The street noise jangled, in my head

Oh this is mighty fine. I don't often pay attention to lyrics on early listens unless something jumps out and grabs me... I'm not sure what did here, but something did. Love the lyrics. Cool guitar and harmonica too, but the song is just peachy.
Here is another ZOOM Collaboration with:
Steve Krell
Colleen Dillon
Roger Harris
Greg Connor
We posted the lyrics and featured the chords, just in case you wanted to write your own lyrics and post them with this idea.

Old stuff new stuff.
Jb is Justified Brutality also if marked JB because I can't remember the password.
RR is Rectal Rip, and its worse than JB but is also weirder.
This song is for my work as an English teacher. I train up primary school children and then record them singing it. if all goes well, I give them an mp3 with their vocals in it and cut mine out.

This is my second piece for the RPM challenge... And it's a big milestone for me... the first time I ever played my own instrument along with it! It's rough, but you gotta keep trying and start somewhere, right? Greg Connor... you'll understand…
B U R N
That sensation you are feeling in your fingertips is progress.
This is a big milestone for you! I'm proud of you.
There is no going back now . . . no more putting up with some obnoxious guitar player who thinks he knows everything. Now the song will sound as you intended it.
I think those chord changes sound darn good and the ukulele turns out to be an excellent accompaniment for your voice.
*** For those who have not met Penelope, I'll just say she is a REAL LOOKER! Spruce top and block inlays just like my Gibson SG Custom ***

Full moon, full of mystery
Full moon, shadows thru the trees
I can feel your spell, I’m beggin at you please
So long I been straight and true
No wrong has come into view
I can feel that dark side, all because of you
Way down…
Here's another contribution to the RPM this year Track 02....Reg is starting to realize whats important in his life.....
LOOKING WANTING NEEDING LOVE
Been a puppet, a pirate, a poet, a king
a rich man, poor man, beggar man, thief

One of my personal favorite recordings from the 52 song MYTHOPOETICA demo collection, even though there’s a sound quality issue (the bass had a bit of a buzz). This was my first time using a wammy bar – I liked it!
PLASTIC GIRL
You can’t…
It's great to catch up with you Vern! I hope you are doing well.
I can't remember .10cent popcorn, but I remember .25cent gas.
I also remember watching the movie twice before we left the theater.
Steve (SLKrell) and I have been competing over the same *"IMAGINARY"* girlfriend for years now.
And Yep . . . Steve started it. Well she's mine now, at least until Steve writes the next song. Look for Steve's music here:

Here is a new mix, compliments of Gene Eric Mann.
Gene didn't say this, but I'd like to think that he wanted to make sure that Steve heard every word clearly.
Thanks Gene!
ADOBE & BLOOD
Thanks to David Kneller
for bringing up the subject
and creating that phrase:
ADOBE & BLOOD
I read a lotta stories about a lotta stuff
But I tell ya folks, I'll never read enough
To block out the memories what…
Man . . . I like this.
Beautiful. You have captured the bitter sweet volitily in the January 2015 market for sure. I'll bet your 2014 piece had all major chords in it.
Update: Gene offered to improve the Mix on this song! This is that improved version. Thanks so much Gene! You are awesome!!!
I wrote this song earlier this summer, and had played it a few times with Greg Connor, fellow alone toner, and…
*Another example where the whole is greater than the sum of it's parts*
I think this live version is better than anything we could have ever cooked up in my basement no matter how much wine we drank.
Thanks to Gene's help, this remix has a lot more definition.
Bottom line, it's better when everyone comes together to contribute.

Oh yeah. What a song. Paints all sorts of images/stories in my head. But yeah, I end up yearning for the Paradise I recall myself... Faved, accidentally unfaved, and FAVED again! (Got a bit clicky there lol)
Ha I remember a lil conversation between two friends on this singular topic........ Get back you deserve this .
Think I'll hang up my guitar now Greg , that has got to be the best song I've heard from you, Faultless mate, Faultless .....

Great song. Really like the harmony in the middle
Are you dreaming of up north?... this is a real keeper. I love your lyrics as always and the harmonica is the perfect touch!!
Great lyrics, love the chorus...another beautiful song!!
Hey I missed this first time mighty fine
Oh this is mighty fine. I don't often pay attention to lyrics on early listens unless something jumps out and grabs me... I'm not sure what did here, but something did. Love the lyrics. Cool guitar and harmonica too, but the song is just peachy.
Really lovely song. I'd favourite it twice if I could!

Cool sing along song My drinking days are over since long but I still enjoy drinking songs :-) very nice collab! KC
Oh this is just fab. Love the vibe/groove. And those shared verses, all these voices I listen to... all in one song! Love it.
Wow these people are great to drink with but I left before the clean up . Hope they ask me back

Stopped by for another listen. I think you have to move to Savage. We could have a good time together.
I didn’t think people living in Portsmouth (Paradise) ever got the blues. It’s fun to catch up to you Roger!
O M G I didn't recognize you until I clicked play! That voice gave you away. Nice song, introspective and pleasing to listen to.
Wow. . . I had to stop by just to hear what "Rectal Rip" was all about.
Very interesting. That mandolin really perks the piece up.
I like this! Good song!

Oh yes. That's the stuff.
Good ear Ron! Yes, that's my old Dobro, built in 1973 tuned to open D and played with a slide.
That Wah Wah is fun!
Beautiful song Colleen! Great way to start the challenge.
Tasty . . . Nice start to the challenge.
Festive.
Beautiful song.
Interesting song lyrics.
