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…

Too bad you didn't come up with lyrics for this. I would have love to hear what you guys come up with. Something twisted and funny, no doubt.
Nice instrumental.

Field Fresh - Texas Cow Patties are yummy little milk chocolate carmel peanut patties that come in this neat little wooden box..... Not really cow shit!
Kickin' off RPM this year with instrumentals.
I don't feel much like singing. Or trying for that matter.
I may put some vox on this when I'm feeling a bit better.
Enjoy!
I don't think it's too dark. It's honest. It shows a kid that he or she can be comfortable with themselves, particularly while alone. I've heard it said that you can't be with anyone if you can't be alone by yourself.
ER
Very nice song. Not as soppy as some other songs I've heard on the radio in the States. Maybe it's your voice, backed just by a guitar or two, that makes it less soppy.
Well done.

Allelujiah-This was supposed to be a completely different song, but this one just wrote itself instead. It’s almost all first take, except for the bass, which took a while to get straight so that it wouldn’t overwhelm the song. It has this tone…
More on the "Freak" end of the Orphans and Freaks designation. Most of the time I'm making music for myself, and this one just makes me happy, no matter how hard I try to resist.
One of the joys of listening to music on the internet is encountering music that sets off chimes of inspiration in our own minds. This holds especially true when the one doing the inspiring is a friend. Bruce Lesisko uploaded a song called Flyfinger…

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.

I solve that problem by not tipping at all. At least until I'm about to tip over! Nice song. ER
That's what I do. How did you find out? Another song about work that hits the target squarely in the center! ER
Love it. Makes me laugh just listening to it. Wait, why is my girl looking at me like that? ER
Wouldn't this position be held by, say, a Justice of the Peace? Perhaps someone of the clergy? Love the song. Made me chuckle. ER
This was always one of my favorites. Love the lyrics. And, yes, I've eaten almost of the cereals you mention at one time or another. Well done. ER
I like this. Nice atmosphere to the song, and the echoing guitar solo is great. ER
Do you have them with a serving of Rocky Mountain Oysters? Or are Texas Cow Pies somehow different than, say, Ohio road apples? Nice song. ER
If this song is peanut butter, maybe your vocals would be jelly? Just wondering. Good instrumental. ER
This Chipmunks has invaded your website! Quick, call the gerbils in tuxedos! Loved the song. Another good laugh. ER
Hey! You described me perfectly. How did you know? Just kidding. This is a good children's song. ER
I don't think it's too dark. It's honest. It shows a kid that he or she can be comfortable with themselves, particularly while alone. I've heard it said that you can't be with anyone if you can't be alone by yourself. ER
Loved it. Laughed out loud at times. ER

Disturbingly true. I'm not sure this is the stuff of nursery rhymes. I don't think I'll sing this to my kids. ER
Just stopped by for a listen or two. Liking what I hear. Well done. ER
Hey Gary - Just stopped by for a listen to a few of your tracks. Keep up the good work! ER
I found myself making up lyrics to go with this song. Is there a vocal track to it? Am I missing something? ER
Sounds a bit like freeform jazz to me. Sounds good. ER
Very different that your other songs. I like it. ER
