This Lovin’ Cup- I was watching the idiot box and just holding my guitar when this little vamp on a B chord came out of nowhere. Using the same recorder, I recorded about 20 seconds of the riff. The lyrical idea came on the trip to Chicago, while…
Figure Out- There are about 4-5 takes of this song, all different. The song started off in the key of D, but I couldn’t hit the notes in the chorus. I then tried it in A, but it was lacking drive and energy. I tried it in G, but I couldn’t get…
Matter Of Fate- This song started as a riff I was doing while tuning my guitar. It sounded cool, so I happened to record it on a small dictation recorder I have so I wouldn’t forget it. When I listened to the riff it just screamed Sticky Fingers…

Keep Shining Through- Last minute lyrics…kind of a cop-out, since it’s a song about song-writing. I didn’t have any better ideas and after losing so much time from the outage I had to just bust out what I could. It was pretty much written on the…

Had the chorus idea floating in my head for a number of years, but never had the inspiration to do anything with it. Then a friend died and this song came out of me staring out the window in the cold of January 2005 wondering what the hell to…

Nothing like the sound of a strat through that classic "brown" sound. Gritty, driving, crunchy, lovely tones...This is my welcome back, did you miss me, RPM 2008 opening track.
So, I start playing my Guild acoustic. However, the strings were new and had gone all slackish, meaning down a few tones. I liked what it sounded like and took them all off. I then restrung the gtr with super heavy guage acoustic strings. I then…
This is a track of serendipity (is that how you spell that?) I was hours from deadline, lots of mixing left to do, and this track was FAR from done. I love the congas in this one. In general, this is a fun one for me. For once I actually don't…
Ok, so on this one I wear my influences on my sleeve. This is one that quickly went in one direction so I decided to ride it to the maximum. I still like the words to this one. I'm no Costello (Elvis) but I did ok here.
Eerie, mournful, beautiful, but so, so lonely.
These are the words of a friend listening to it. When you make a conscious choice as to who you should be, what you were meant to be, what you have failed to be, until now...
This one is meant…
Well, this is why I don't play drums. It's the best Moon I could pull off. I keep hammering the gtr riff over and over, but it's because it was so much fun to play. Its structure is a little too meandering in hindsight, but oh well. For whatever…

-In A Day-
Half a Glass of Gasoline
Mixed with Some Kerosene
Stirred in with Coffee
Laced with amphetamine
All That it Takes in A Day
To get by…
From the archives. Traditional Irish slow air. Myself on the Uilleann pipes with synth backing. This was recorded at a concert here in Weston back in I think '92. Originally recorded on an ancient 4 track machine and then transferred to cassette…
all the pounding waves
drowning out the sound
the sound is poison
diving down below
sinking very slow
drown away the sound
if I, can't make it
stop your soliloquy
I feel the death inside me
in this succession
the still and quiet
I will succumb…
I found this while doing some clearing out. Its the only demo me and a friend Ben Price recorded when we were briefly looking to form a band in about 2005/2006. Listening back to it, strained vocals aside I kinda liked it so thought I should give…

Cool song brother. I like the simplicity of the guitar mixed with the dark lyrics.
The slide gtr parts have this great earthy tone to them. This song has a great feel. I love the suspensions and country blues overtones.
And yet again, more brilliant finger style playing. Beautiful work, Kavin.
Such great finger-picking... I love the song and all of the changes. Great one Kavin, simply great.
Love the Univibe effect here...
Tasty, very tasty.
I like the raw energy you put into your songs Rob. I would come see you live in heartbeat. Cheers, Gary
This has kind of a cool Revolver goes country feel to it. Nice work Rob. Cheers, Gary...
Kirk, Your versatility and skill with different styles, instruments and moods never ceases to amaze me. Cheers, Gary
Great song Mr. Moody. Excellent vox on this one.
Alex, I need to listen to you a lot more.
Cool piece, love the textures. The classical gtr interplay with the synth, the pads...all of it. Cheers! Gary
Большие песни. Cheers, Gary
This is an excellent piece. I love the melody and the tone of the piano.
I like the interplay between the clarinets and violins (violas?) And kirk is right, the cello is beautiful.
This one has a cool vibe and tone to it. Excellent work. I like the solo parts, they feel like you could float on them.
This is a very cool tune. Great falsettos... Wow, what a great voice. Organ is killer...
Bethan's right. Great track.
Great vibe here Skidoo! It's rainy here and around 1am. I have the windows wide open and this is up loud.
I like where this is going Alex
