Something a little more serious this time. With everything that's going on in the world today, I sometimes need to know that someone is there for me.

Guess where I dreamed up something like this? When the choir members started walking up the aisle in a cadence of the Monastic Walk (3 steps forward followed by one step back, followed by a brief pause), the backbeat appeared in my mind. I worked…
Keith Landry used his considerable vocal talents on this song, and he made a decent song sound great. I added one or two harmonies, but the lead vocals are his. I think he did a great job. What do you think?

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.

This was written during a time when I was away from home a great deal. My better half called me, and the gist of the conversation became the lyrics of this song.

Headline the evening news.
How many faces have been featured
While the tabloids expose the ruse?
How many sweet young things

Thank God!... Something up-beat. One of my colleagues has THE party of the year on Labor Day weekend every year, and I play around the bonfire from dusk until everyone is unconscious... and the ladies like to dance.
I've been listening to several of your songs, and I very much like what I've been hearing. You play and sing very well. Will be back to listen to more later.

"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…
Paper Girls is one of those tracks which I wrote based on my experiences that I hope others can relate to in their own way. Soft, breathy vocals courtesy of Anezka Piska.
This is the centrepiece of the album; my self-confessed preferred track to RPM HQ. Powerful vocals by Jen Gibbons and heavy beats supplied by Chris Thomas. The drum track was heavily overdriven to crispen it up and the kick was given a lot of…
I've gone more acoustic for this piece with bass and guitars courtesy of Jaz Arwand and the lovely, airy sound of Jess Spencer's voice. The song is about empathy or lack thereof.
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.
A song for/about Charles Manson.

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…
I like this one. The slow rock beat and the guitar sound on the solos tells me you were getting out some anger or strong feelings when you did this.
ER
Again i'd love some feedback
I like the feel and the mix
do the lyrics work?
recorded t'night in an hour after trying all day to get the verse lyrics rammed into another tune
Beware all ye who enter here. This song's a stern warning that being the front man of a band is not what it's cracked up to be. Consider yourself warned.
An obvious reference to the classic movie, "Blues Brothers" (which takes place in Chicago -- where we're from), this song tells the cliched story of the band that reunites after years away from each other thanks to "creative differences", "growing…
This is us tempting fate. Jumping the shark refers to a defining moment on the TV show "Happy Days" when Fonzie literally jumps over a shark on waterskis -- all while wearing his leather jacket. Everyone watching immediately knew the show would…

Cute song Terry and I really like the backing.
Opinion becomes news in some of these sources, too. Good stuff.
I just live in England where we have a camera on every corner. it can start to make you a little paraniod
Great playing , I like tone and effects changes.
This brilliant
This is more like it! Love the horn!
This is very well done Terry. I love the contrast between the choral and the guitar. The whole thing has a great feel.

Very nice. Your guitar work is excellent. Love the chords.
Another very good song. Nice vocals, too. I like the slow yet steady beat. ER
I like this too. I like the melody and the vocal work most of all. ER
I like the vocals on this, including some of the reverb and echo effects. Using an accoustic guitar for this was a good choice. ER
I like this. Sounds good. I like the beat and the lyrics. ER
I don't need much encouragement to sound intoxicated. Oh, wait, I usually am! The band sounds good, and so do you. ER
So is your nickname "Spuds"? Very funny song, sir. I admire your courage to do this acapella. ER
Don't know about blaming Bethan for anything, but I liked the intro. Is this a kind of Hokey Pokey in 3/4 time? Love the lyrics. Well done. ER
My boss thinks he's a donkey jockey. He's always riding my . . . ahem, this is a family site. Sorry. Nice song, though. ER
And a man doesn't just cook, he barbecues! He's a gourmet, right? ER
Love those harmonies. This reminds me of very early BeeGees music. ER
The "ShooBeDoBa" at the beginning gave me a start, but I like the song overall. Nice harmonies. ER
I like this one. The slow rock beat and the guitar sound on the solos tells me you were getting out some anger or strong feelings when you did this. ER
I think the lyrics work fine with this, amigo. ER
Nice light little tune you have here, Gumbo. Liked it a lot. ER
I have enjoyed all of the songs I've heard from your band since I bought the Cheapass Album. Keep rockin', boys, and you'll never go wrong. ER
I've heard this so often that it's part of my subconscious. But I never expected my wife to say that. LOL ER
Love the melody on this. Another song from you guys that I love. ER
How many favorite bands have we thought this about? I hope that never happens to me. Lyrically, you hit this nail on the head. ER
