Headline the evening news.

While the tabloids expose the ruse?
How many sweet young things
Have tried…

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…

Revisiting this track too. For some unknown reason, the church across the street from my former abode occasionally rang their bell at 7:30 in the morning. Not every Sunday. Come to think, Sunday wasn't the exclusive day either. At any rate…
Liked your music very much. Might just download it once I find room on the hard drive. Live recordings are often very appealing, and this is one like that. This song is particularly nice.
ER
Hanging out in the living room with one of my sons, just making stuff up. I wish I'd had the recorder closer to him - whistle too loud, guitar too soft.
One of Asimov's most famous stories, the music attempts to re-create the world that knows nothing but daylight. Unsettling, but bright sounds hint at the looming darkness that must come, ending with the crescending voices of fear and madness…
This acoustic song is a drunk nihilistic escapade with a surprise ending; so if you like to howl, join along and do your best "ahhoooo.."
Lyrics:
At full moon, I was drunk as a skunk
My belly full of bourbon, and my breath really stunk…
Absolute power corrupts absolutely....
Lyrics:
One cloudless night, freedom's candle was snuffed
Kicked and punched, gagged and cuffed
They took him away, for what he's not
Then cracked his skull, as a gesture for his…
You know how it is when you look around, trying to figure out what everyone is doing and how they lead their live, looking for an answer to how you should run your own ... don't ... otherwise, you'll wind up with a life that is just a cut-and…
I agree. Kept trying to listen to your songs, then would get interrupted. The holidays can be like that. Finally got a chance to hear them all and I liked what I heard. Well done.
ER
There are things I cannot do without x2
And if I ever run out of the things I cannot do without
I'll run to the nearest 'things I cannot do without' store
And I'll run in and I'll buy some x2
And if someday their running out
Of the things…

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 enjoyable jam. Were you channeling Robin Trower with the guitar. Sounds a little like him. ER
And break those f-ing cymbals! Kick some backside! Loved it. ER
Always good to bring back song like these. Loved the guitar and harmonica work most of all. Well done. ER
I'm deranged. Do I qualify? Not a lunatic. That's up to interpretation. Like your music. Post more and I'll be back. ER
Listened to the entire album and loved all the songs. Now I have to figure out how to make room on my mp3 player. ER
And tell us how you really feel! ER
Thank you for doing this song! I always agreed with you, but this tune brings it to the forefront. Well done! ER

Listened to all your latest and liked everything I heard. The recorder was lovely, and so was your voice. Will be back for more. ER
Love this most of all. Found myself singing along without realizing it. ER
Listened to all 4 songs and liked them a lot. Will be back to listen again. ER
Listened to the whole album. Very enjoyable. ER
Welcome back, Sam. We missed you. Love your songs. ER
Howling good singalong! ER
Very powerful song. Well done. ER
Your words come through the distortion, and I like what I hear. ER
I like the lyrics on this. Good listen. ER
Listened to the whole album and enjoyed your playing. Will be back for more. Happy New Year. ER

Nice song about commercialism. I see the same thing in people, and in me. ER
