A song about the futility of trying to really express yourself...especially to someone you want to impress...
26th Failed Attempt:
When I sat down here tonight and I decided I would write
a love song to explain to you why I feel the way…
This song started with just the title. I think unappeasable is a fantastic word.
Unappeasable:
She’s so unappeasable
I don’t think that she’s feasible.
Oh, I’ve tried to be reasonable
but she can’t see my point of view.
She’s blind…
I was thinking about a guy that I met one time in the street in Montreal who was just kind of aimlessly wandering about Canada following the death of his son...
Manitoba:
I’m on my way, on my way,
On my way back to Dufresne…
I remember…
I have to find time to sit back and blast this album out. I've heard three tracks so far when I'm rushed and I keep wanting to play the whole thing LOUD.
Another great track, David.

I didn't give this the serious listen that it deserves the first time (I was probably feeding my kids, with Alonetone playing through my tiiiiiny laptop speaker). I love your vocal! Sounds absolutely phenomenal! This is a great song, David.

The title just popped into my head unannounced one day and I had to try to work from that. About a girl with a broken radio and the repairman who would do anything to find her a new one and win her love...
It certainly appears broken, Minerva…
A song about the lost art of the mix-tape and knowing that someone is trouble but doing it anyway...
Compilation Tapes:
Did I mention that I think that you’re a real fine dancer and I like the way you dress?
I’ve known a number of girls…

Grew out of my frustration at having to sing, play all the instruments, and engineer my own recording...
Baby, Would You Be My Engineer?:
Baby, would you be my engineer
and keep my headphones sounding clear?
I desperately need someone…

Moving Too Slow:
Oooooooooh…am I moving too slow for you
cause I don’t want to do this one thing that you want me to?

Lyrics:
I’ve been meaning to get drunk and try to forget you.
Instead, I’m finding new ways to just upset you.
Baby, I just can’t stay in my mind,
Unintended and unsung, just like all the bad bad things I’ve done.
Baby, that’s and old…
Fun stuff, Lee. Nice work. I do wish there were a Peter The Kitty track though...
In my house we actually refer to our laundry room as MOBA...it's where my wife hangs the paintings that I've done which don't meet her high critical standards.
this is the slightly sparkly version of my version of Moschell's "Boxes and Strings" from his 'Circus of Freaks and Fools' RPM Challenge CD. I recorded it as a video last night and redid it in the studio (unfinished sauna) today.
This song has been hobbling around half-written in my psyche for eons, and it took the RPM Challenge to finally finish it!
Like many of my generation, my first peek into the world of women (and what they looked like under their clothes) was National…
shame I make the same mistakes each time
adding up, piling on this list of my crimes
the biggest to the smallest weigh the same to me
buried beneath of mountain with no hope of getting free
holding on to my broken dreams
shame I have no…
this is about a couple who are at odds with each other because of their goals, could also be viewed as a guy who wants his partner to commit suicide with him?
i usually play this on guitar, but for the RPM Challenge, i wanted to do it electronically…

It aint like no ones done this before
But how can you tire of beautiful chords
In the fifties
In Tenessee
Where my love
was born
Two young men upped and
crossed the yard
both cold cos it was rainin hard.
One of them turned said…
Tell me can you teach me bout your finely written poetry
Dont care about the content I just want to make em notice me
Such a fine hand they'd say wooo, study it closely
Been practicing all day I think I'm ready least I aughta be.
Caligraphy…
Comments on David Marcouillier's stuff
Love the smooth ending with the layered vocals. Very lovely.
I am treating myself to one DM song a day. This is an out-of-this-world playlist (so far!). Love your bluesy tones! Ooh, shivers-up-my-spine!
I have to find time to sit back and blast this album out. I've heard three tracks so far when I'm rushed and I keep wanting to play the whole thing LOUD. Another great track, David.
Nice

There is nothing that David has done here that isn't great (thats a double-negative :) Every tune!
This one really stands out for me. The subtle background vocals are especially haunting. The tune has that "crime jazz" vibe I'm so fond of.
Smashing!! You've got really strong melodies, so easy to settle into this. Damn. Two favourites in two listens! It's a shame I got to go to work!
Great voice! And I love the " old soul music on a third hand radio " Love it!
you should publish your lyrics right after your discription under the "about"tab very soulfull stuff you have tim
i really find you voice interesting. i think your falseto is both funny and baeutfull. nice simple piano playing nice job tim
Love the back up vocals - this is a real winner.
I love the mood of this one. Great job, David. -J
Every DIY'ers dilemma! We can all relate... nice tune.
Awesome. That's all I can say.
dude, i had to do all that, too, ha ha. sing, play everything, record, produce. this is hilarious!
Exactly what the boy Moody said - plus this is a really great track!
like this one alot. hits the mark. like the fragility.
damn damn damn. It's all good stuff, Dave!
kickass!

Good stuff, guys. Solid playing...and danceable.
Fantastic, Stu. Love the sparse arrangement, the understated leads, and the vocal interplay. Good lyrics to boot...
Oops...I uploaded the demo version and not the finished track. I'll have to fix that later, I guess.
Fun stuff, Lee. Nice work. I do wish there were a Peter The Kitty track though... In my house we actually refer to our laundry room as MOBA...it's where my wife hangs the paintings that I've done which don't meet her high critical standards.
Fantastic rendition, Stu. Top notch. This is fun as hell...
Fun tune and great lyrics. Nice.
Awesome. I love it! This is so cool...I need to bust some ass and get your song done now. I feel like I'm somehow more legit now.
Wicked banjo tone and an abrupt left turn into the unexpected. Love it.
This song gets stuck in my head. Undertones of Pavement and Wilco.
Great vibe. Kind of Segovia meets Radiohead thing...with scratching.
Great beats with space to breathe. Very nice.
Good riff. Nice changes. I needed this to recharge my afternoon.
Very nice vocal. Good guitar sounds.
This stuff has a really great vibe. Loving the beats. Seems playfully serious, if that makes any sense...
Good stuff. Great arrangement...
this sounds like the evil cousin of belle and sebastian on ny-quil...in a good way.
this sounds familiar but fresh. i think that's something to strive for...
haha...i was thinking that this sounded like the band and neil young...and then i read your bio. nice work.
great feel, alex...
