This song started as the riff on my Strat while fooling around with some FX. I knew it needed to be a big dance number, and then realized there is a great story about the power of music and dance, which I hid in the lyrics. See if you can figure…
This one started as a the title line while driving in my car. All I had was the line and it's melody. I built the song around that about 6 months later. The lyrics are self explanatory.
I played this one fairly straight. It still sounds a lot like the raw 30 second idea I recorded on my phone in an elevator in Chicago in early Feb of 2010 and discovered this RPM season. It's not about what you think it is.

A long one, something of a centrepiece for the record. Open tuning and ebow fun.

Fancied trying some fast piano. This one sounds like the single to me.
This is the first piece that I recorded - just after midnite on Feb. 1st. with Anne Cozean in mind as vocalist. Anne and I have worked together before and she delivered a great performance across two tracks. I was thinking Portishead going in…
eyes all around
thought surveillance, the fighting on the ground
dont abuse the diguise the one they made,
should never be altered
now we fear , the words we say, descent in
the shadows
we must hide to survive the thought police their searching…
billy boy where did you go
sittin in a pile of snow
come on down its gettin cold
for the time is getting old
well we made our way to the old wigwam
frozen lake and wind was calm
standing bow did strike a deer
to feed the tribe…
None of us knows where we'll be tomorrow,
Let alone 2 weeks from this date.
Will I still be in this place?
"It's okay", she says, "I'll definitely call you later."
If I don't go and forget to,
And if I'm still living here.

No im not happy and no im not sad, no im not good but i know im not bad. No i wont go there, but no i wont stay, no im not straight but no im not gay, no need to tell me i know im not right, no happy endings and no end in sight. I got no way of…

Listened to the entire album and liked every song. Also enjoyed your use of horns. This one is also very nice. Keep on rockin', amigo. ER
Love the groove no matter what year it was recorded. ER
Ok - complete album downloaded! And this track gives me an earworm!!!
I agree with your lyrics wholeheartedly. Nice funk groove, sir. ER
This entire album WILL be downloaded! Holy crap, Gary, what a kick ass album!
Bad ass tracks here once again. Always love the upfront big guitars. Horns give it a Beatles feel.
Rockin' wonderfulness.....ness...ess
Its like a beautiful mixture of Deep Purple, and ELO to name a couple.
I always felt ballads in 3/4 allow the singer to emphasis the vocal anx lyrics. This is a great example.
Big smiles :)
Yep... it is ok already :)
