Now a decade old, I thought I would revisit this mix again. I have done this a few times as I continue to learn the craft. I thought it would be a good exercise to undertake as a start thinking about writing again for the next record.

As I have mentioned in other years, I am so very blessed to have some songs come to me in my dreams. Grace is one of them. The specific line "Grace, grace, grace! You don't have to be a lonely child" is what I retained in my waking moments so…

We're so quick to judge others. We really shouldn't. This one follows the tone of It Mattered To No One Else. I actually had a lot more song ideas like these two that I thought would end up being the whole record. But it didn't happen that…

Similar to a couple of other tunes this year, the How Many More? chorus idea has been floating around my addled head for a few years, but again, it wouldn't come to shore. But in promising my ideas that I never give up on them, I tried it again…

The Again, Again, Again line and melody has been flowing through my brain since 2017 or so. But if we are merely vessels for songs that are waiting to come to our shores, I was a leaky boat for a very long time and couldn't make the journey without…

One of the first songs I wrote for the album. The lyrics are stream of conscience that I don't think mean anything at all. I don't know, maybe they do. It ends the album purely because the lyrics say "It's over..." * Disclaimer: I understand…

My 90's punk attempt. Interrupters/Rancid feel.. What does any of that have to do with Mark? Not a gosh darn thing... I just liked the name A Relative Term. * Disclaimer: I understand that most of the songs on this album are pitchy and hard…

Castaway. The Tom Hanks Movie. * Disclaimer: I understand that most of the songs on this album are pitchy and hard to listen to. I recorded all of the vocals on Feb 27 and 28th as single takes. Most of them stream of conscience nonsense.

Still meta... but with the realization that I can do RPM no matter what my hinderance is. I did this whole album with an Ipad, my acoustic, a cheap microphone and a pair of headphones. All the songs were written hastily in minutes with no real…

The most non meta song on the record. This one is about a women I knew once. Sought the attention from everyone. Would burn you the moment you didn't agree with her. Her name happens to be Angie and really thought she was everyone's saviour…

Originally conceived as a mellow-ish, Stephen Stills sounding number (at least the verses), then the chorus came to me out of nowhere and turned the whole song on it's ear. I think that was for the better. I have to admit that I surprised myself…

The title track to the new album. Turn it up. Listen all the way through and there's some ear candy at the end for you. ;)

Bouncy, with ear candy. Wanted to do something different with this one, keep it from being too predictable. I think I succeeded. I also happen to really like my "squawk, squawk" gtr stabs in the verses.

Hello 1977! This song sounds like 1977 to me. So, I totally played it up, right down to the reverb on the vocals. Enjoy.

Come join me on this sonic joyride...I'm Saved

I feel the keys and pop feel of this one screams of Tim's influences. Like if we both listened to the same song, this would be my take away vs his. Lyric content? You guessed it... Meta. * Disclaimer: I understand that most of the…

Here we stand beneath the sky Take my hand as time rolls by Here we stand, nobody else around Did we land on solid ground? Along the ledge Side by side So near the edge Of the great divide For Heaven's sake I have no doubt The steps…
