WOODED JOURNEY (Winthrop)
Take a hike on a summer day
Make all your worries go away, And
Set out to sail the lake so blue
Well I don’t care cause I’m with you
Out along the sun filled bay
Cruising out all all day
Travel Through the…
Lead Vocals and Acoustic Guitar: Olivia Winthrop
The fields are plowed
the stones are drawn away
and the seeds are sown
under the light of day
We feed the ground
reaping our return
and the sun in the sky
will always brightly burn…
Words, Music and Lead Vocals: Olivia Winthrop
You’re like a ripple in the water
Always changing never knowing where to go
What’s this place that I don’t know
What are these feelings
feelings that show
I thought that you could hold the…
Damn cold days and wintery nights
There's nothing green and living in sight
I'm bundled up and eatin my stew
Turnin up the heat to seventy two
Take the extra blanket for the cool morning
Keep that extra blanket for the whole day

A song about the classic dice-rolling game:

Lyrics:
It feels so nice when I throw the dice that I think I'll do it again
It'll be okay if I can find a way to make a 3 or 6 or 10
I've come…
It's tough to go wrong with a song like this. Not only is it wholly unoriginal, but I think I am exactly ripping someone off. I can't place the exact song, though.

Time to introduce myself as the fount of creation

I am not sure anyone will like this track but me, but I think I did a decent songwriting job here.

16 hours a day upon my seat
Never walk a step I’m feelin beat
Temp me with a little food
Put me in a better mood
Waiting for another…
I predict that this will be one of the more popular tracks of the album, because the whole thing took about 45 minutes to create. It was COLD that day!!

Wrote this after I was getting over an illness. I think it came out pretty good, and my guitar sounds good through that '64 Ampeg Reverberocket.

I spent days obsessing over the baseline for this song, and it ends up being fairly unremarkable and will be barely noticed on most speakers.

You're drivin home in your luxury car all alone now
Designer suit is the only thing…

I started listening to this album the other day but got dragged off to do make the dinner or something.
Glad I came back - this grabs me just as much as it did first time round...
It's summer time, I'm at a cottage, I've been listening to a lot of weird electronic music and thinking about the world burning up. I'm playing around with layering vocals - something I love. Thanks to anyone who listens even for a few seconds…
Going through my collection over the years...thinking I'll post some of those old tunes (pretty rough and ready....one take, recorded on garage band I believe). Why not...life is short! Thanks to anyone who listens :)
The final Song for my 2023 RPM challenge!! Dusted off my acoustic guitar (and blistered my fingers) to get this one done. Phew! I love Latin rhythms and so I found a beat and jammed it up. Thanks again to anyone who listens -it's really fun…
A perfect ending to the album. Harmonies so nice. I used some Maracas, Guiro, and Clave this year and I wish I could feel a Latin beat like this.
I wanted to thank you for you support, you helped me so much the last couple of years. Even if I never make anything else, I will still follow.
Song 8# of my RPM Album. I love Persian scales and so I wanted to play with that a bit here. I managed to do my own finger snapping through the whole tune and didn't use a loop - I'm known for my rather loud snapping ability.
In another…
6th song for my RPM album. If you like slow and depressing music...this is for you! I had a blast using my new crash cymbal and brushes...my fingers are not very pleased about playing the bass riff however (ouch).
somehow you knew me
and…
Okay, RPM Song 3 finished. It's a weird song melodically speaking (yup, that's actually intentional lol). Oddly, it took an extremely long time to produce this one and my eyes are now very blurry. I guess this is an "urban" song (though I…
Well...This is song #10 for my 2022 RPM challenge- the final track for my "album". It's a bit like two songs that found each other somehow. That makes for a very long track! eek. Thank you to everyone who has been listening to my songs...it…
Beautiful. It's interesting that you can look at the visualizer and SEE where they first find each other. Your album is really the highlight of this year's RPM for me.
Some days I'm the preacher with my head up in a cloud
Some days I'm a gentleman who does my mama proud
But some days I'm the creature who just arrived from Mars
And some days I'm the futurist who drives electric cars
Some days I'm the…
Song 5 for the RPM Challenge. Building tunes around an incessant bass line is oddly appealing to me. This is a bit of a dystopian song of sorts. Thanks to anyone who listens!
Take me to the river
and hold me under water
Bow down beside…
Pick it up first thing in the morning
Looking down when the day is dawning
Takin it along from room to room
Bright icons on a tiny screen
Means more to you than me
I’m hoping you notice pretty soon
It’s clear, and I fear
It’s understandable…
1) Be a complementary force to the alignment that they call the change of leadership.
2) Use attraction, alignment and avoidance and extended this with a number of traits.
RPM 2015 Feb. 18 update: I cut a new vocal for this one which is an improvement, but this mix is still not right. Dunno if I'll have time to fix it before the deadline... (This is the full length track as opposed to the truncated version with…

They Don't Let Go

They don't let go
no they don't let go
you think you'll walk away
They don't let go
no they don't let go
no matter what you pay
Don't no they don't
no they never let go…
Ken asked me to add a few words to his excellent track Thats what life is for as he was stumped so ive tried my best hope you like it ken....
Thats what life is for
the singer spoke to me through the speakers of the stereo
i couldn’t see…
Comments on Dweeb's stuff
Wow I really like her voice - beautiful tone. This is a great premise for an album. Loving the breeziness of the songwriting and crisp production.
Sounds like a young Annie Haslam. I love this one.
Excellent!
Throughly enjoyed the whole album ... Bravo!!
Perfect. I'll cue this up when I play on Sunday.
I loved the original.
space junk meets hillbilly funk... righteous!
this f'ing rocks! You sure know how to kick it up a notch Dweeb my man!
Rockin!!!
Really like the lyrics. Hallmarks of the modern man. Nice work!
Damn.
@ Cave St. I just found him. He does remind me of me. :) Lovin' this original style of harp playin'. Harmonicas and synths - yeah!
Influence is not ripping off :)
I'm with you - good song, nice one. Enjoyed your RPM, well done.
Yep, this one came out good. It's the driving bass that I'm digging here.
Ha! Ha! I like the sounds you get with your acoustic guitars.
Digging the relaxed "roll" of this one. And that harp is spot on.
I started listening to this album the other day but got dragged off to do make the dinner or something. Glad I came back - this grabs me just as much as it did first time round...
Dave, you and WildGeas need to jam, this is right up his alley! Where you at Paul?
One of my all-time faves from Dweeb (aka Nair)! Looking forward to hearing your new one here on Alonetone.

Always love the idea of vocals used as part of the rhythm. An age-old method used perfectly here.
Jazz-ma-tazz-tic

Got me belly-dancing. Thankfully nobody was around to see that.
Awesome. I love playing bass but I don't do it often enough to develop real calluses, so I can relate. Outstanding recording.
Incredibly creative, the break is a real smash.
This is better than most of the stuff I've made while listening
Beautiful. It's interesting that you can look at the visualizer and SEE where they first find each other. Your album is really the highlight of this year's RPM for me.
Great chorus. Is this performed "live"?
Some space, some funk, exactly right.
The whole thing is great, I hope you can make a career out of this
Did a quick fix, it was mastered way too low.
So flabbergasting that my gasts are all flabbered out!
Too awesome. Stop it!
Grooovy!
Creeeepy!
If I forgot to click "favorite" for any of these songs, forgive me, it was a mistake.
T-pain!!
Thanks for making us all seem lame again.
beautiful
