The progression of time...
lyrics:
Trending backwards
A permanent plague
Cracked out fevers
ascending in waves
It’s a slow attack
Bracing for the ache of a sudden impact
Dull scythe swinging
Dulling the blade
crack the empire…
The risk that comes with opposition. The feeling of wanting to escape this planet sometimes.
lyrics:
Welcome to the waiting room
we've warmed the cathode screen
evolution‘s industry
Monitor my heart rate
It dives below the line
A revolution…
Lighthouse spinning
signal flare is fading
Ashes burning
When the light goes out it crashes to explode
A smoking crater in the sky for all to show
Here I’m breaking my resolve
An arc of battery to draw
And so I’m standing at the gate…
I might be warming up, turn me over
But the spinning wheels are stuck, on the shoulder
I lost the day
In a trade I lost my soul to the devil
In a fair enough bargain, it's on the level
For the pay
While I stare at brakelight eyes…
A title wave entertainment
All custom to order
I forget the times where we all shared hope
You wore that record out
I hear the needle coming down
We’re waiting for the kings to take their crown
The stories became a movement
The Clash…
On any other day than this I might recall, the words to make you feel better
and spin the waves of the record known by heart
I’ve tried to fool myself to sleep so many nights I fear I may never wake up
A moonlight trance
I drank the drink…
Lost in the dark, feeling for the walls, I hear an echoing
Cutting so sharp, I seem to lose my balance, and fall from the universe
An alien sun
Polaris makes the mark
So hang your aching head upon the morning star
Its shines upon the…

I’m not the bigger person
I’m not the wise old sage
I just want to dig my trenches
And leave at end of days
I’m not your dictionary
I’m no Rosetta Stone
I’m not your post to lean on
It’s true you’re on your own
Not gonna wait around…

Hey y’all let’s go tanning, under the new fake sun
Let’s spin the brand new single, if you can’t hide we run
From the safety of knowing
Look outside it is snowing
Who knew it got so cold, who knew it got so cold,
And now I caught the…
In the fading light, I compose a line
And then tongue tied tangled down upside
Unbroken
Unspoken
Better than the words I would have stumbled over
If you read my eyes, you could catch my vibe
Then I wouldn’t have to die inside
When the shivers go right down your spine like a river
Or the whiplash from turning your head to the coast
Brace, the stormfront breaching outside,
Every tree, bends like a dragons tail
We lean our bodies toward the headwinds
turning our…
Out in the field I spy a rabbit
One of the ordinary kind
You never thought you’d meet the neighbors, did you
You never thought you’d take a drive
I see you now you’re running fast
You’re turning inside out
Caught the blade, shovel’s edge…
Bit the apple through the core, then made sure to taste the poison
You can’t fare thee well no more, when you’re out on the horizon’s edge
Don’t stare at the sun, an Icarus flight, we’re all meant to come, back down.
Shoot an arrow off…
Pointed sextant toward the north star
True direction is where you are
Roads of Rome lead to elsewhere
Can we go, no echo, no opinion
Unreal show, on your phone, no one’s watching
A din of quiet desperation
Soothing blanket fort vacation…
Wow. Some serious guitar going on in all these layers... you're making me feel/think Alex Lifeson. This is some seriously good orchestration of guitars. Love the song too!
Queen maybe doors ajar, shall we take dinner and a movie
Can’t wait for shooting stars, when all the galaxy’s for choosing
One step to the floor
One step maybe more
King certain in cement, no phantom stair to keep you guessing,
Your…
Where did you go, man on a mission, path of omission
Out of control, lack of contrition, where did you go
You hid the clouds, black helicopter, waiting forever
A man the crowd, a plant or an actor, where did he go
You were caught there…
Holy moly... I only listened to the first minute or so last night (we were settling down to eat and watch a film) ... I thought I might not be so impressed this morning - WOAH! Love it.

OUSTANDING collaboration with the great Gary Fox.
ONE AND ONLY
How many times have you been
Captured by a camera
With no one really knowing who you are
Caught in the sight lines
In the background
In the corner of their eyes
Never…
JUST AS WELL
Why is youth so beautiful
And why’s it always wasted on the young
When did my days go flying by
So many passes of the sun
There’s so much I could tell you
So much I’d like to say
It might be just as well
You never heard…
The title track for this year's RPM album. One mic. Live take. Please forgive the missed notes.
LETTERS
Writing while I drive with voices in my mind
Passed along by friends I’ve never met
Trying to stay alive in one place in time…
So I dropped the guitar into DADGAD tuning for the first time, threw a capo on the third fret, rifled off something nice, and sent it to Movement to Contact for his contribution, got it back, did some mixing...
Here is the result.
YOU NEED…
Sitting around in my shop a couple of days ago with the Goodall and the Zoom H4N. First time I've really messed with using the internal mics on the H4N in multitrack mode
Comments on Jarrett Osborn's stuff
Oh, yes. This is VERY nice.
Oh, THIS just grabs you right from the jump. Dang.
Hey, man! It's Keith... This is a nice way to wrap up my lunch period!
Jarrett, this song just gets better every time I listen to it. I have it on my reoccurring spotify playlist and I simply love it!
From your mouth to God's ear, man.
Does nobody comment because there's, like, nothing to say? Other than "holy crap, this is awesome, I wish I could sound like this?"
I just have no earthly idea why this only has five plays (well, six now). It's so good.
This is great. Do you all have a version posted?
Nice track, guys!
Great harmonies! The whole song is great. Well produced.
Brilliant tune and love the concept.
Great artwork!
Fantastic end to a superb album. I was going to listen to a couple of RPMs this morning, but I need a rest now, this was so good, many thanks.
This one too. Wow, this one is amazing.
I absolutely ADORE this one.
Oh yes.
Wow. Some serious guitar going on in all these layers... you're making me feel/think Alex Lifeson. This is some seriously good orchestration of guitars. Love the song too!
There's some really cool chords in this one. Love the swagger. And then the saxophone(?) on the out. Mighty cool.
Holy moly... I only listened to the first minute or so last night (we were settling down to eat and watch a film) ... I thought I might not be so impressed this morning - WOAH! Love it.
Impressive work here!
