Ice: How did you do that? Sounds like ice wind chimes. I like the beginning the best! The piano is a tonal contrast. The mixture has a relaxing and chilling effect on a hot summer day.
I had envisioned the title referring to a suicide; however I suppose it could be anything attempted without success. In case you've not sussed it out yet, our friend Elle is not a happy camper.
Some day I'll get around to noting all of the…

I love this song's enigmatic title. I shall give you a hint: the two beings mentioned in the title are the same species. I shan't say more (unless you ask nicely).
@Tess: That's what I told my muse. I'm not sure WHAT she was smoking. The poetry and my manner of delivery remind me of Shel Silverstein. ;) Listen carefully for the Derps at the end of the track. LOL.
Wow, thanks very much. Quite gracious of you. I was a little insecure about it myself (not the composition which I think is solid, but the performance). I'd have spent six more months getting the vocals just so on this album. But then, paradoxically, some of them came out perfect on the first take. (Not this track!) But there I go again, admitting my own faults. Heh heh.
@Tess: It's a "flute-like" sound, isn't it? But it's actually a virtual synth app from Akai on the iPod Touch. Everything on this entire project except the vocals is the Akai Synthstation app. :)
Composed entirely in ABC; I harmed no keyboards while making this album. Converted to MIDI and arranged in Reaper, mastered in mono on an iPhone 'cuz I seem to have forgotten how to in Reaper, damn it, and ran out of time.
There's a historical marker near the side of the road on McCrea Hill just down the road. Jane gets a passing credit as the last line of the plaque reads "Sister Jane was martyred."
Neat little piece of American history you might want to delve…
Her Low Budget Nightmare : Track 7.
If you know the words, sing along!
I am going to post the lyrics here. They are being tabulated by a computer now and coming out on punch cards.
For my contribution to the RPM this year i thought i'd tell a little story......
Blank Episode 1
For those of us who think it impossible to stop these full throttle hands.

This is the final track for the Metamorphis album, it is a musical soundscape, inspired by the Yorkshire Dales and the Moors. I have tried to paint a picture of the changing seasons and it should be taken in 1 minute sequences, 1 minute = 1 month…
I really enjoy the ascending "acoustic guitar" line about 20 seconds in (and all the sequenced falderal which surrounds it). Well, it isn't really falderal--I just can't think of a more suitable word!
Uploaded just in time for the 2013 peak of the Perseid meteor showers of 2013, which I definitely won't see, as our autumnal "maritime" (i.e. sh**ty) climate is doing its thing.
This is my arrangement of a wonderful romantic tune by the inimitable…
I keep hearing songs about meteor- or star-gazing after going out to view the Perseids on two recent nights. Hmmm. This song captures the experience perfectly in a decidedly folksy manner; unfortunately, real life had far less of the Venus action going on.
Cover of the Eels song Climbing to the Moon, from the Electro-Shock Blues LP.
I made a suggestion for Henwrench in the Songcrafters.org Suggestfest of an Eels song that he should cover. Then I went ahead and did one myself (a different one…

Like way cool, dude

Fireside tales: I totally love the harmonica and I think I may even hear a crackling campfire, nice
delicious synchromaticity
Hey this is a trippy one, thanks for sharing!

Totally dig! w;-)

*The Giving Tree*: a classic Silverstein.

Lovely freshness here. The flute(?) is a great touch.
Super tight harmony!
Trippy!!
New version, for all you fans of really bad lounge.

Did you try turning it off and then on again? Nice John Carpenter vibe on lo-fi ROMpler Casios? I see what you did there.
@G-Guest: A reply hefted into the past by six years: Just wait until you reach track 80.
Cool setting for an awesome poem. Thanks for sharing! :)
Interesting alternate tuning there. :)
That's some heavy-duty office intrigue. Dig the backwards guitar.
Interesting stripped-down version, Reg. Great authentic vocal. You weren't holding Mr. Waits prisoner in the basement, now, were you? ;)
Hey, what are you trying to pull here, mister? I already listened to this on RPM! Tee hee. Nice one. I'm ineptly playing along on harmonica. :)
But I don't know the words. :( It's catchy, though.
What's supplying the percussion? It sounds as if it's an old analog drum machine, but played live?
Laughing me arse off. Good stuff, Reg. :)
Brief, but awesome. Lovin' it.
1:46 OMFG. Nice harmonies followed with crazy hoedown riffing! 8) The lyrics are hilarious, too.
Hee hee hee! The band name is AWESOME. Lovin' it. Oh my--bluegrass hip-hop? Could it really be?

This captures perfectly how incredibly creepy falling in love can be.

In response to your rhetorical question, not mad at all. ;) I'm glad you did it.
James, why so many versions? I'm not complaining; they're all very good listening.
Oh, I'm not sure those are steel drums at all. What the heck are they? Awesome, in any event.
Good, solid blues! Dig it. Color me ignorant--I do not know the original. *googles* Oh, it's Clapton. I hang my head in shame! Great job, FDR.
