Literally hot off the press, this is how my life is going right now.
(c)2012 T.A.Beckett
I used to work in an office.
White collar job just the same.
Order this and order that.
Put the Devil to shame.
Then one day the boss man
Asked me to change…
This is another song originally written in a country music vein, but through the 12 step process it's been reformed. The lyrics came from a night at a bar where I noticed a young woman who was trying too hard to have fun. She looked much too…
This song comes from comparing my behavior to that of my children. And I have found out that history does indeed repeat itself.
Thanks for stopping by to listen. I'll post the lyrics as soon as I find them.

Yeah I feel ya! A great compilation of sounds. Diggin' your breakdown. Very interesting and original techniques being employed here! Groovy as hell! Rock on!
I once worked for a retail company in the computer industry. One of my fellow buyers took a job at another company, then returned six months later as a salesman for that company. This is a song of how he might have felt returning to the city…
That guitar really caught me. I like the break into acoustic too.
Quote: *"I wrote this song some time ago with much more of a country feel to it. Thanks to the 12 step process I'm better now,"*
I feel your pain, I grew up with Country Music. After years of professional help, I'm almost healed.

Sam did a great job on this song. Both the lead and backing vocals are hers. The song could use a little editing, but I thought you'd all like to hear it anyway.
Enjoy.

As you can see, I sometimes duplicate titles with different lyrics and musical styles. This one just popped into my head one day and wouldn't leave until I wrote it down.

Written by Tangmo. Additional instruments by Trevitte Brown.
A song about writing songs that isn't really about song-writing, and knows it is being written.
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…
I was listening to Leonard Cohen a lot this winter, and these lyrics sort of came out from there...don't know what they really mean, i was more interested in trying to see if I could mimic Leonard's style, which of course I can't, but this was…
En Francais.
English lyric:
I don't know why there is not another girl for me here
Or near here,
But over there are plenty of girls for him
What a shame - what a shame
Every day I watch the men and boys with girls on the beach…
A song about the five stages of grieving, as devised by the (late) Elizabeth Kubler-Ross. Unfortunately knowing these stages does not help you get over them.
You've been managing expectations
Consultations end in tears
Even if you're optimistic…
Bit of a waltz.
Everything I know about dancing I learned from watching.
This is my piano debut.
Bethan deserves some of the blame for this one somehow. Thanks.
We have an old and senile cat with a dodgy thyroid gland who is a total pain in the bum. I know she can't help it but god she annoys me, so this song is therapy. It's a love/hate thing. Recorded as part of RPM 2010
I have a cat that loves to sit on my lap every time I sit down at my PC. I can't find the right lyrics to write about her, but I'm sure I'll find the inspiration after hearing this song. Laughed when I heard it.
ER
this is one i have to stop tweaking - six versions and i still don't get what i hear in my head
would love some crit for this one as it's doing my head in
thanks
I stopped by to listen to this year's album, and again I am green with envy. I wish I could play anywhere near as well. Great guitar work, sir. A pleasure to listen to.

This one is about how falling in love kind of involves giving up any say in whether or not your heart gets trampled. It's about that fear. Gary doing a sterling job as usual on lead guitar..
She's amazing
Beauty holds no bounds
and her voice…
Stopped by to listen to this year's effort. Liked most of what I heard. I agree that falling in love involves fear, risk, and not a little anxiety. I know those emotions well.
ER
I mostly wanted to make music with a funky clav line I'd come up with, so this is it. For the voiceover, I unabashedly used an awesome monologue by Ken Nordine.
Just stopped by to listen to your 2010 album. I liked a number of the songs, including the K Beam, and loved the Sho Be Do. You're never too old to sing, by the way. Well done.
ER
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…
Hey Gary - I listened to your album on the RPM jukebox, and this is my favorite so far. I'll probably change my mind later, but I like the harmonies you did, and I find myself singing the chorous at random times. Well done, sir. I liked all the songs and I'll be loading them into my MP player once I finish downloading.
Regards.

Hey old friend! Glad you liked my work from this year's challenge. This song in particular has been my favorite of this album. It captures the essence of how rediculous it is for Kylie to have her own museum. I also like The Dogs Name. I wonder if my better half thinks of me in those terms once in awhile. Oh, wait, we have cats.
Welcome to the site and I'll stop by from time to time for a listen.

A parent grows into his role just as a child grows up. Funny how it works that way, isn't it? Nice song about it. ER
Another enjoyable tune. I've written a song about writing a song, too. Who hasn't? Liked this one. ER
Nice tender love song. Well done. ER
Very nice live recording. Love the driving beat. ER
I like this. Bouncy melody and bright atmosphere to the song. Love the steel drums and the horns. ER
I liked this song very much. Very tenderly delivered. Well done. ER
Tres bon, monsieur! ER

Hey, every guy is Fred Astaire on the dance floor. I thought so until everyone stopped laughing. Nice song. ER
Have enjoyed listening to your album. ER
They drive like that here in the States, too. ER

I like the guitar rhythm on this. The lyrics are good, too. Nice song. ER
Just stopped by for a listen. I like your approach to blues. It's simple, accoustic, and very enjoyable. ER

Love the groove on this. And I often wonder where the hell I'm going as well. Then I know I'm having my version of a blond moment. ER
