Second song by Martin Fox
Was on a Pete Townshend kick lately. this one came to me as i was listening to the random recordings on my phone. still not happy with the vocal mix. we spent a lot of time tweaking too.
so glad there is a single song category for RPM. we got the band together for this song written by Kent Good. recorded 2-26-22 live at KG's Place.
Kent Good guitar/vocal
Martin Fox guitar
PLMcDaniel drums
Mitch Davidhisar keys
Jason Koenig bass
I completely changed the arrangement of this song. Again. Previous versions included a wall of acoustic guitar. Out goes the guitar, in comes the trumpet and drums...
When I first put this track together, it was for a celtic music band. I found out 1., celtic bands have a habit of imploding, and 2., the whistle tracks were frequently in the wrong key. So, I dusted this track off, dusted off an old Yamaha…
If you leave me behind I'll have a crow's nest of a life
Filled with things that sparkle and flash,
Rusty nails and old tin cans
Sure, they're pretty when they get wet
But it ain't the most comfortable bed
Unless you're here
I've been…
HEAR MY FINAL SONG
Most were drinkin', four were playin' cards
Two were dancin', one he played guitar
He was singin' how she broke his heart
Some were smokin', smoke rings filled the air
One was flirtin', playin' with her hair
He was…
This is the bonus track for "The Best of GEM" playlist.
APATHY AND GREED
Apathy and greed is in the human seed
"I need more, to Hell with you" we say so well
How we live and play to get us through the day
Til we hear the bell that summons…
MY SPIRIT
Spirit Father in the sky
Mother Earth, they hear my cry
Take my spirit from my mind
Leave the rest of me behind
Feed my ashes to the wind
I will journey back again
When the sky is deepest blue
Know I'm looking down at you…
DURING THE STRESS OF THE TRIAL REG HAS PULLED A NEW GIRL WHOS A LITTLE WEIRD BUT HEY SO IS REG....BUT THIS IS THE LAST THING HE NEEDS...IT'S NOT GONNA HELP.....
Something for RPM. This piece of filler features a transaction between myself and my 2 year old daughter at her pretend shop. I was the 'custer', she was the 'shoppy keeper', and I was encouraged to ask her 'howzamuchit?'
More lo-fi noodlings for RPM. Featuring 2 year old daughter let loose on a box of instruments, and then messed with in goldwave. Will be a (poorly) hidden track on RPM album.. when there are actual songs on it.
Muriel Jeanne Skinner promised that if it were possible she would come back from the dead to
tell me about the afterlife. She has not returned..
Opened the window to let some air flow through
A bird flew in and landed in my living room
Something…
everyone says I cant sing. I can its just im not very good.
its not about whether I can so much as whether I should.
but I do! yeah I will.. strangle that cat anyhoo
people say I cant, I can.. im just not very good.
everyone says I cant…
if my mind goes
before I go
do me a favour
help me on my way?
yes if my mind dies
before I die
dont sit watching me talking nonsense
take that old fool out the game.
if my ability to hold a pee should
go astray
and im not a 100 percent…
ill make you happy
ill make you pleased
you stayed around
to find out who id be
and ill make you sure
you were right to hold on
when the whole world let go
and denied it knew me.
hey! nobodys saying
itll be all plain sailin
cos nothing…

I really like this one. Am going to pass it on. Took my mind to the Lake County Fairgrounds and a Warren Zevon concert years ago.

from across the room this sounded like Jethro Tull. up close it reminds me of REM . very nice vox on the repeating lines. nice one!

Dreams don't mess around. cant wait for a complete album listen. im sure its another jem.

Worth the wait. Another classic! Moody fans are rejoicing! more more more
i got my two year olds voice on my Hefty Strongside RPM album last year. he loves to hear it. this is cool.
beautiful. i wouldnt mind having a go at this one.
this is such a bold collection of performance. blown away. your soul is louder than your awesome voice.
if this were fourty years ago they would be talking about John Lennons lost weekends with Alex Moody not Harry Nilsson...
blown away, brother!
