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…

Something you don't often hear from me and that's
straight drummin'. On this track I left the
original L/R kit track because it just sounded
more raw and nasty. Listen close and you'll hear different levels on the high hat. Plus, you can…
Hey Kids, Happy RPM. Surf's up! I played this one for my lady, she said she wants to move to California. I'm not sure if that's because I've been wired up in the Dog House for 9 days or if she wishes to try some surfing. Go figure....
Anyway…
Nice blend of accoustic and electric on this song. The guitar solo near the end sounds like the player is just about to lose control. I liked it. Very good song.

Sorry I haven't been by to give your new songs a listen. This has a much harder edge than your earlier work. I like it. Suggestion: add some harmonies? I hear it in my head. Maybe it's the rx I had filled today. Maybe backing vocals? Just trying to help. Great tune here.

Another song in the works that I have never been happy with. Now that Mr. Tolar has me feeding raw meat to the Ibanez, this is the result. So, it's either a rocker, or I'm off my rocker!

It was yesterday

My first Christmas original just off the presses with that cowboy, spaghetti western style.
Paul: Why don't you try Jingle Bells or something
Geas: Oh God,No, I hate the classics... that sucks......
Paul: Yea that does suck. Try emmmm, Oh Holy…
I like the harmonies in this song, and the lyrics. Between couples there is always that small part of each other that is still a mystery. Well done.

Another good one. I've never thought of St. Nick in quite the way you describe, though. You manage to make the jolly old elf sound menacing. It's like you think he's a pedophile. Eeeeeek! I'm going to screaming into the night. LOL
ER
Very nice. I don't see myself ever being tired of hearing it. The guitar work was sterling, and your voice was clean and clear, as always. Well done.

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 thought the vocals went perfectly with this song. Well done. Love the harmonies most of all. ER
Nice song. Like the guitar work and the background melody of the synth. The lyrics are good, too. ER
Love the oh oh shoo be do bah! And you're never too old to be singin'.
Very nice arrangement. Love the smoothness of the song. ER
Nice blend of accoustic and electric on this song. The guitar solo near the end sounds like the player is just about to lose control. I liked it. Very good song. ER
Pretty little ditty indeed. Very very nice, sir. ER
Don't remember if I listened to this one. Love it. Like the guitar work and the harmonies most of all. ER
Again, great harmonies. Love the drum cadence. Gives the song a different flavor overall. Love the chorous. Excellent song. ER
Very tender song. Nicely done. ER
Another hard edged song. Sounds good. Is this a change in style for you? Love your vocals on this. Love the harmonies. ER

I had an older brother who ran away several times. I never thought of writing a song from the perspective of a parent. Good idea. ER
I don't think Santa should call anyone a "ho ho ho". It's just not a nice thing to say, now is it? ER
More terrific harmonies on this song. I liked the lead vocals as well. I liked the chorous, too. ER

Whenever I need a song to make me feel better, I stop by and listen to this one. Great job! ER
Very nicely done, amigo. Love the guitar part and the harmonies. Love to hear more in this style. ER
Very nice. I don't see myself ever being tired of hearing it. The guitar work was sterling, and your voice was clean and clear, as always. Well done. ER
I can only dream of playing a guitar this well. Nicely done! ER
