Where's all this sappy music coming from? The Olympics were on. I must have been watching too much figure skating or something.
Unmastered track from my 2010 RPM Challenge submission.
A song about the five stages of grieving, as devised by the (late) Elizabeth Kubler-Ross. Unfortunately knowing these stages does not help you get over them.
You've been managing expectations
Consultations end in tears
Even if you're optimistic…
I guess this would be the "centerpiece" of the album. Like the rest of the album it really stumbles along the line between droney and simply repetitive, and it needs a bit of a reworking to reach its potential.
Musta been December cause the air mighty cold
A family was moving in, further down the road
They were not the colour of the others in the street
All the kids were laughing at the trainers on their feet
I was only young and so I guess I laughed…
part of me really wishes this was longer, but on the other hand you did something really great in 18 minutes and 10 seconds. there is definitely something to be said for brevity. great album.

absolute bliss.
Wow, this is even better than the one I listened to before. And that one was already close to perfect.
What wonderful, authentic song and performance! Great listen.

Listening to this album tonight I'm struck by its pace. The songs unfold just right.
And you know it's hopeless only when the horse leaves you alone in the barn. I like your lyrics. They have quite a bit of insight. ER

awww, come on. that solo at the end could have gone for a least a little longer!! tease. thanks for all the great comments about our stuff too.
i dig the warble. do you plan to add vocals to any of the instrumentals?
so do you think brian eno heard too much olympic music?? i'm digging these tracks and i completely missed the figure skating.
this is one catchy tune
really enjoying this track
this song sounds like a lurching automobile. still running, still moving, and not caring about the sleeker cars racing by. really great.
i would just like to say that i too like potatoes. this song inspired me to make home fries last night.
5 seconds in i knew i liked this.
love that slide
another good one. hearing some robert fripp/brian eno influence.
nice pickin'. very fahey-esque. enjoying the whole album so far. thanks for yer comments on our stuff too.

banjo!! i hear banjo!! love the pedal steel too. great sound.
part of me really wishes this was longer, but on the other hand you did something really great in 18 minutes and 10 seconds. there is definitely something to be said for brevity. great album.
