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…

"The pictures that she paints while you're keeping time might just make you think again if you don't believe in the divine." Simply, it's a delicate little song appreciating the talents behind a beautifully written and performed song with the…
Hey Keith - Just stopped by for a listen and went through the whole album before I noticed. Very nice songs here. My favorites were Brandon McCarthy and Tee Ball. I also liked Circles and Seasons because I feel the same way sometimes.
Will be back to listen to more.
Regards.

I used to blast this song so loudly in my little room - when that chorus hits, and that huge tidal wave of guitars, it is just breathtaking. And there is nothing I can say about the voice and aura of Armando Louder that hasn't already been said.
DREAMS OF THE OCEAN
Your kids'll be waking up in the morning
Just a couple of hours after mine have gone to bed
I've got the coffee warming
While dreams of the ocean are in your daughters' heads
I taught them all 'bout it late last evening…
Ring of Fire - lyrics by Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash -1963. Slightly modified.
This wasn't meant to be Ring of Fire but that's how it wound up.
I have been wanting to trash Ring of Fire and the words just seem to fit this simple 1-4-5…
Love the way this song builds in the beginning. How long did it take to build that rhythmic section in the middle? I wouldn't be done with it yet. This is the kind of song that one can get lost in. Well done.
ER
This is really a true story.
No, really...
And our holiday gift to you & your friends. (Feel free to download it and share it with anyone who you think might enjoy it.)
Oh... by the way... acl is finally waking from a very deep slumber…
Written and sung by Tangmo. Arranged and performed by Phil Close. Additional guitars by Karl Cutruff.
Hey everybody, come out in the streets now
Hey everybody, let's have a good time
Bring along your cooler, there's good food to eat now…
Summer Grass- I didn’t originally intend for this to be the title track, but since most, though not all, of the songs on this album sound like summer to me, I decided, why not? The guitar even sounds humid and warm, but in that nice July way…
This is probably the most tender song I've heard from you. I have felt the same way about a woman, and prayed that moment would never pass even though I knew it would.
Nicely done.

This Lovin’ Cup- I was watching the idiot box and just holding my guitar when this little vamp on a B chord came out of nowhere. Using the same recorder, I recorded about 20 seconds of the riff. The lyrical idea came on the trip to Chicago, while…
I can hear this being played in a smoke-filled bar, and see semi-drunken patrons bouncing on the dance floor while the song plays. Great song for a live band.

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.

Very nice! Love the melody and the harmonies. Excellent. ER
Excellent song and vocals. The harmonies and backing vocals add a great deal to the song. Well done. ER
I like this song the most of the three latest you've posted. Very nice guitar playing, vocals, and atmosphere to the song. ER
Another in a long list of songs I wished I'd written. Well done, both of you. ER
I am very sure neither Johnny or June ever envisioned their song done like this! Love the re-interpretation. ER
Lovely song. I wish I could play and sing as well. ER
Love your vocals, the guitar work, and the harmonies. Wonderful ending! Truly great song! ER
This is a new take on the song. I know the tune well, and did my best to harmonize. Even the cat howled for me to shut up! Nice tune. ER
Wonderful snappy tune! I like it. Singin' along as I try to type . . . uh, did I spelll that right? ER
Have you been reading my diary? LOL Very self-revealing lyrics. I hear you, man. ER
Love the way this song builds in the beginning. How long did it take to build that rhythmic section in the middle? I wouldn't be done with it yet. This is the kind of song that one can get lost in. Well done. ER
My entire 2010 RPM Album had songs along the same line as your lyrics. I agree completely with what you're saying. ER
Truth is stranger than fiction! ER
Love the layering of the vocal tracks on this. Much better than I could ever do. ER
Nice ballad. I like it a lot. ER
Nice live feel to this. Well done song. ER
Love the steel drums. Nice tune. ER
