Just like two sides
Of the same silver dollar
We’re not alike but still the same
And your big life
Makes mine look smaller
I wonder if you know my name
I wait around
You might be calling
A telephone that never rings
End of the day…
Just like two sides
Of the same silver dollar
We’re not alike but still the same
And your big life
Makes mine look smaller
I wonder if you know my name
I wait around
You might be calling
A telephone that never rings
End of the day…
Just like two sides
Of the same silver dollar
We’re not alike but still the same
And your big life
Makes mine look smaller
I wonder if you know my name
I wait around
You might be calling
A telephone that never rings
End of the day…
Just like two sides
Of the same silver dollar
We’re not alike but still the same
And your big life
Makes mine look smaller
I wonder if you know my name
I wait around
You might be calling
A telephone that never rings
End of the day…
Just like two sides
Of the same silver dollar
We’re not alike but still the same
And your big life
Makes mine look smaller
I wonder if you know my name
I wait around
You might be calling
A telephone that never rings
End of the day…
Just like two sides
Of the same silver dollar
We’re not alike but still the same
And your big life
Makes mine look smaller
I wonder if you know my name

You might be calling
A telephone that never rings
End of the day…
Boy I really like these lyrics. Makes me wonder who was in your mind's eye as you wrote this. Sausage customer, or music producer, or maybe someone else entirely. I am always so amazed at your songs! Love this!
Two hours before morning light
Highway signs go by all night
Open window to catch the breeze
Helps me clear my cluttered mind
Road noise rumbling through the floor
Been on this road once or twice before
My mind is racing up ahead

Really like the chord progression....and of course vocals are outstanding...great lyrics...this song really speaks to me...oh and as a side note...your "Taking Home The Pretty One" will be on Dirty Thumps CD that should be released very soon...your name is on the sleeve as writer...It has been copyrighted in Poland and I assume the rest of the world.. so check your mailbox for royalties:-) as soon as I get some CD's I will send you one....of course it is a little different than the original!!! as the producer/engineer says it is like Hendrix interpreting Dylan....lol

Lyrics:
Mini Van
I’m driving my Mini Van around
I’m driving it everywhere in town
I’m driving my Mini Van
Try to catch me if you can
I’m driving my Mini Van around
Seems Like I can always catch the eye…
LYRICS:
With Or Without You
Try to get along but it takes two
It’s a Whole lot of me and not much you
Working myself right to the bone
Thinking that I am all alone
Just like a monkey up in the tree
Throwing your feces straight…
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.
Well
I am finally learning how to use Logic Pro 10
its a challenge but its got mojo if your willing to sweat
the song is for my friend who is at an impasse with his loved one
HE has the grit to admit that some things just run…

Song number 1
Written Sunday 6th February 2022

OK, this is a bit of a departure for me - posting songwriting demos.
This is a one mic recording made this morning in the living room, touch of reverbs…
Song 4 of my 2022 RPM challenge. A simple popish tune to add to the mix.
I never told you
what I wanted
no, it don’t feel right
the things you say
the things you do
well they hold me hold me
I never asked you
for anything
I…
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!! :)

I write letters, but I don't send them and they go unanswered. I take them out and rewrite them, picking up the words and clarifying the meanings. I wait in hope that a reply will come someday.
I continue the conversation when it's long over…
This is beautiful. It really pulled me in.
I used to participate in REM February challenges but lost interest last year with their new format. I'll have to go look at this Song a Month idea.
I Can't Seem To Find My Way Home
Featuring Norm on Percussion Track: "Pilón For A New Son"
http://alonetone.com/norm/tracks/piln-for-a-new-son
Lyrics:
Searching for something
I wonder and roam
Hoping the truth
Soon will be shown…
I started out this morning thinking about Norm’s fantastic percussion and came across this song. Norm let me use one of his percussion tracks to fill out the song. He has an album of 94 collaborations on his Alonetone Page.
I wrote this one yesterday. A little something to bring hope for the future.... there's always time to begin anew.
Thanks to Greg Connor and Mark Lofgren for their wonderful guitars and vocals on this one - recorded yet again around my kitchen…
A simple song in Open D.
It's a cold, and frosty night,
Stars are shining,
Shining bright.
A wintry breeze, through the trees,
Stoke the fire,
Beat the freeze,
It's a winter's tale.
Mull the wine, and cook the fare,
The larder…
Here's the second song I recently decided to do with a studio recording from one I wrote and posted here a while ago as a purely vocal version. It's one of my favorites.... I hope you'll enjoy it too
Singing In The Silence
Verse 1:
Singing…
After Greg Connor wrote this for me a while back, I kept listening to it every time I was feeling tired of winter, which at this time of year is several times a day. Somehow every time I listened to it, it reminded me of my dad. I know he would…
Comments on Greg Connor's stuff
Very beautiful song-writing...awesome.
Just wonderful :)
Excellent Greg.
Wow... Great Lyrics for the Country Charts. Like your singing and guitar playing :) c
Beautiful! Melodic and heartfelt.
Boy I really like these lyrics. Makes me wonder who was in your mind's eye as you wrote this. Sausage customer, or music producer, or maybe someone else entirely. I am always so amazed at your songs! Love this!
Great song. Love the lyrics :-)
Top, Top tune Greg.....
Wonderful laid back feel to this. Superb vocal locks into it perfectly. Top stuff.
Nice Work Greg. I like the sound of your chord progression
That acoustic is slammin'. Real pro Greg.
Beautifully done.
Wow! Another fantastic song. Love it!!!! It's going to be another Greg song I can't get out of my head...

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.
Another beautiful song. A very poignant request put to music.
Beautiful piece. A melancholy feeling.
Very soothing. I like the tempo change identifying the Solstice (at least that's my interpretation)
This is beautiful. It really pulled me in. I used to participate in REM February challenges but lost interest last year with their new format. I'll have to go look at this Song a Month idea.
You have definitely captured a visual image here. I’m afraid we all, at some point, will be waiting out by the road in the rain.

Ahhhhh …. The highlights of 2021. We still had fun even with all the obstacles we encountered. Here’s to a great new year ahead.
I stopped by for another listen after a ripping cold weekend. Happy New Year Roger!
This is one of my favorites!
I love this version that you created.
