So to be honest, I'm not a huge fan of your voice itself... but I've been listening to all of your songs and you've definitely got a great way with composing and writing melodies! About 5 minutes after listening to this song I found myself humming the chorus melody while walking down the hall.
Another tale of my life. It started when I saw a homeless man standing at the end of an exit ramp. He was holding a cardboard sign and accepting "donations". I wondered if that would be me before long, then this song started playing in my head.

Another angry song. My boss once handed me a spreadsheet about cost prices from vendors and said "I don't like the way this looks". I wondered if the upper management looked at salary costs the same way, and that led to this song.

One night I was seated in a lounge chair in my back yard when the thought ocurred to me. This is nice, but is this all there is? Is this the reason I work? Is this the reason I pay bills and worry about the future and make sure my kids do their…
This is probably the darkest song I've ever done, at least as far as lyrical tone goes. Sometimes life just doesn't seem worth the effort. Then I look at my lovely bride and realize that it is.

For me, one of the side effects of unemployment is insomnia. I am the kind of person who worries about things, and often that worry extends into the night time hours. I sang this after a particularly difficult night. The vocals aren't the best…

This one went through many iterations before turning into what you hear. A key breakthrough came when I stumbled upon that keyboard part for the verses. That opened the whole thing up.
Listened to the entire album and loved it. I've been listening to your music when you post it as Anchorage Drift and this album is just as good as anything I've heard.
Might be back to download.

Another song created from watching too much TV....
Live in the living room or should i say Cellar.....

It was the last day of RPM and he asked me to write a lullaby for a track called Cornucopia. Very much enjoyed how easily this one flowed. That's my mum, Bee Mathis, adding class to the…

My tribute to Anne Boleyn, the first queen to be publicly executed in England. I used some of the poetry she wrote during her imprisonment in the chorus. An innocent, incomparable woman.
Wrote this and performed it for my mom's 70th birthday party. Our family is a bit crazy.

Well, your birthday rolled around again
The way all birthdays do
And this year it’s a big one
Once again you’re sixty-two
I’m sorry…
The album was so good I ended up listening to some of the songs twice. Quality work once again, my friend. It's a shame we only hear from you once a year.

The first song started for RPM 2014, and the first song finished. The rhythm guitars are a doubled 12-string. The vocals are doubled, when not in harmony. Doubling has become one of the minor themes this year.
Listened to the entire album and this one made me laugh. I'll get my protein another way, thank you very much. Steak. Hamburger. Ribs. Cicadas, ant, and most of all roaches!

I've been messing with Jip's Gong Bong! Enjoy :o)
Do what you do, do it for you
Make your imaginings come true
Follow your dreams and not the crowd
Be you for you and shout it loud, shout it proud, yeah
See your big dream
Show your true self…

oh my what an awesome sound.. love the synth, and the guitar solo!
Illegal Alien Autopsy digs it!

Lovely song-writing. I like the musical arrangement very much also - fits the sentiment in the lyrics very well.
Love your lyric writing, ER. Very engaging vocals too. Excellent RPM album.
Great funky guitar, fella! I hope you found this rpm therapeutic. :-)
Definitely not where I want to be, but I guess I'm stuck here along with most others! Fab horns in the middle section.
You softie. :-) Nice track!
:-) For reasons I do not understand, this seems to be what we've settled for, definitely. Thought-provoking track!
Your album was a joy to listen to. Well done mate!
Love that funky guitar!
Yeah! That guuitar break is stunning.
Yes, it's a little dark, and has a cool beat to it. I like it!
*hands ER some cocoa with extra marshmallow fluff* You poor love. I hope you feel better now!! (I actually like this straight up vocal.)
Ah, great turnaround! Is it the album closer?
That's the attitude, don't let the what nots grind you down. I like the way you often draw from life for your lyrics. Good song.
Cool song - I thought the organ solo was a nice touch.
That Guitar is Awesome!
Woah, class solo!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cool tune - The solo was pretty sweet.

First rate guitar playing, sir. Well done. ER
Good acoustic version of the song. Just as ragged as the electric, which makes it that much more appealing. ER
One of my favorite songs from you. The acoustic guitar gives this an entirely different feel than the electric version. I like it. ER
Very nice. Love the lyrics. ER
