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.

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 is my most angry song.

This is our little bundle of joy now grown up to be 10 years old. She took up the flute this year at school and this is her first effort in front of my microphone.
She decided on the flute after watching some vids of Ian Anderson and Jethro Tull…
I completely understand your reaction. My youngest has three favorite songs of mine we used to sing together. She's all of 14 and too grown up to admit it, but she still loves the songs. And I still smile thinking about it.
Nice work on the effects. Tell Nina she plays very well for her age. And the more she plays the more she'll enjoy it and the more others will enjoy hearing her play.
Big regards.

I just listened to your demos, and I think they sound fine as they are. The dance music didn't make me head for the fallout shelter, and this song is actually very nice. I don't think you did a bad job on them at all.

2010 RPM Challenge Track. Lyrics below:
Burning down the wire
And you're out of time
Ripping through the ties
that you try to knot
Telling me "go!"
Telling me "go!"
Is what you want
And you're running out
You're feeling used…
I've been listening to your entire album, and I like Telltale, and the first five songs, and this one, most of all. You have an interesting style. I'm not sure about some of your vocal affects, but the songs are good overall.
ER
I've listened to your entire album, and I enjoyed it a great deal. Made me envious that I can't pluck the strings like you can, but that's my cross to bear. Well done.
ER
You and I have a lot in common. Our lyrics are the strongest part of our music and we get the most from our vocal talents. I enjoyed listening to your album and going around the world with your music. Well done.
ER
I wrote it for a friend of a friend. It was originally about a woman, but although I liked the music a lot, the words didn't quite satisfy me. On a whim, I changed a pronoun here and there, and the song became a story.

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 like the imagery of the lyrics. You paint an interesting picture. The piano work was first rate, too. The guitar solo was very good as well. ER
Another nice job! Your voice fits well with the accoustic guitar. And the backing vocals add icing to the cake. ER
Nice harmonies! My blues have just been chased away. ER
Singing along with you on this. I feel better already. ER

Would you be talking about Glenn Beck? Anyone else??????er

I have enjoyed listening to your music. It is interesting and relaxing. Several, like this one, have a good beat. ER
I like the story on this. I think the story could apply to a woman as easily as a man. Either way, this is a nice song. ER
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
Very nice song. Well played. ER
Like the storytelling on this one. ER
I liked the vocals and the atmosphere of this song most of all. ER
Your songs have a hypnotic quality to them. The vocals on this reflect that more than most. ER
Enjoyed your songs very much. I just might download a few so I can listen on my mp3 player, if that's okay with you. ER
Another bright and bouncy melody. And I see myself the same way. ER
Like this one, too. Bouncy beat and nice guitar work. Sing that scat!! Found myself singing along. Nice one. ER
