#RPM Challenge 2013#
Oh it caught me by surprise
I Looked into your pretty eyes
Nothing more than a simple kiss
And a moment like this
We don’t need no fancy cars
Diamond Rings that shine like stars
You never really asked for more
Than moments…
Wow..A herculean effort, this showcases your growth in arranging a song as well as any professional studio out there. Good song and amazing song crafting
With huge thanks to the awesomeinfinity Jake, Wrinkled Shirt, who let me use his gorgeous instrumental track "Gaza".
The sun left the city, from the ground
Moonlight woke up, falling down
Why are you scared, free as a bird
Now that the heat…
Sometimes you need to stay up late to try to force yourself to dream.
When I wrote this song (and started singing it a bit), I knew that my voice could never give it what it needed... So I turned it over to one Sister Savage... And she did…
Last of the archives for now. A set of reels from the Last Nights Fun album. I did pipes, whistle and guitar on the last tune in the set. There's a live version of this up here too. This is the studio cut
This tune is one of my top ten favorites of all time.
It's originally performed by The Mike Curb Congrigataion and used as a music track for the movie "Kelly's Heroes" starring Clint Eastwood, Telly Salavas, Caroll O'Conner, Don Rickles, Donald…
In case you are in the mood today to kick some ass with Mike and me.
Congas, Vintage Bass Cocktail Drum, Bongos, and (of course) Cowbell.

6/8
I uploaded this one earlier in the month with a rough track. Colin W. and Greg Connor helped me improve the arrangement and we recorded it at Winterland Studios this past week with some amazing equipment and awesome sound mixing support from…
This one has the stuff. I purposely left it alone for a few days so I could come back and listen to it "*fresh*".
I think it's going to be the star of the Minnesota Songwriters compilation album.
This tune began my Instrumental journey and starts my 1st CD "Escape to Clifford". Using acoustic guitars and voicings, I hoped to create a musical soundscape.
John and i are in the process of trying to write a blues album and here is our first attempt to throw at your ears. Hope you enjoy! Johns musicianship is Bloody excellent i just hope i can keep up...

Your songs are always good Robert!

Great chord progression supporting a solid lyrical story. Nice Ukulele. I like the echo on the vocal.
....HOLY COW .................. O U T S T A N D I N G !
I started smiling immediately! You got the touch John!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great beginning! Interesting effects. Your piano player looks like a little cutie!
Smooth and relaxing. Very Nice!
Interesting concept. It's like a whole album of sounds in one song . . . Pretty Cool.
I've been listening to "Alonetone Session" this morning on your site. Beautiful songs, and your delivery is really something.
Beautiful song! The combination of piano and Tess' voice really create a visual image and mood.
I stumbled across this little gem this morning. Impressive songwriting by you Kieth, and outstanding delivery by Tess!
Absolutely beautiful Kirk!
Great contribution on both your parts!
Hang in there Paul.
What a find . . . A real treat to listen to, and a wonderful message.
Very refreshing! I've been doing a little work lately with a music producer who is using a drum machine on everything. This is much better.

Beautiful piece of music. I like all the acoustic tones and textures.

I really like Colin's bass and supporting vocal on this song! Softening the third verse was an inspired idea. You got the magic Colleen!
