This track is written and performed by my 12 year old son Zack. He really is coming along great as a musician, and I'm proud to include him in my RPM project for a second year!
Jay, you should try to get movie soundtrack work. This song would be great for some of the darker horror movies. You really have an original flair, and this screams "Welcome to my altered state, dark, dark world." Brilliant. DO something with this music, it needs to be out there.
This track was born out of an annual project or "artbomb" at New Year's, where a bunch of artists get together, pick a word or "theme" and all upload our musical interpretations of said word or theme. This was from a couple of years ago when the…
I love the dark, moody tone of this one. There is a certain cacophony happening here, but in a sort of creative destruction way. It has that non sequiter feeling of a real dream. That's challenging to do, and I think you pulled it off.
John Lennon started it with God pt.I, U2 followed with God pt.II, and I was presumptuous enough to think I could do God pt.III. A wee nod here and there to the first two tracks with my own twist.

Summer Grass- I didn’t originally intend for this to be the title track, but since most, though not all, of the songs on this album sound like summer to me, I decided, why not? The guitar even sounds humid and warm, but in that nice July way…
STILL can't work out how I could have developed this. Really struggled with it, so it shall remain a fragment..
In a dark secluded room
That's where I hide my thoughts of you
And underneath some old gardening shears
I hide my tears in a…
one of those 'it was written even before i started' songs that just rolls out like magic
i tried to keep it simple so as not to destroy the vibe
first finished (if unmixed) track for RPM 2010
the cold collides, outside, oh woe
this hopless day, the warm resides, inside, makes me want to cry
the emotions, that i hide, oh woe
this hopless way, confide with the sky, don't ask me why
and the branches swining, and the animals play…
you used to be a person in your shell
now you're just a shell
so big inside your home
the turrets face the lowly masses
so big inside your home
obvlious to the world as it cries out
and the sun begins to shine upon our tiny world
and…
so pleased to meet me now please, just go away
no introductions needed, i've got nothing left to say
so many stories that i really don't need to know
this conversation's over, and i really wish you'd go
oh please, go away, save yourself
i…
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…
Stripped down, I almost did this one as a live, one take vox and gtr "on-mike" bit. I did the song, kind of liked, but decided to do a tracked version, just to see what it would sound like. Ended up liking it more.
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…
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.
This is a fun track Gary, I really dig it. Lot's space for the guitars and vox to breathe here, it serves the song well. Didn't see that breakdown coming, cool surprise!
Yay!! with Feb over and life almost back to normal, I get to check out a whole new Gary Fox album!! Great track to kick it off with! Wonderful cover art btw Gary.

Love the gtrs, dark, vibrato tones. Cool Tom Waits vibe here with the vox. This is cool Jay, very cool.
oooh. Midified guitar. Yum!!

Oh Freakin' WOW!!!!!! Yeah...this is spooky even with the lights on!

Smokin! You must have squeezed those 28 days hard to come up with this, great work all round
I'm really digging this album
Fantastic work. Shades of Zepplin with some great intricacy. It's still playing in my head as the song is over.
Nice one!
Fantastic Gary!
Wish this one was longer
I thought by the drums you were about to break into Money For Nothin'...lol. Its nice to hear some changeups in the drums there. Cool keys too!
Another one to keep for those nice summer evenings. I wanna go camping with you and a couple of guitars Stu!
This one had me wanting to play along
I'm keeping this one for myself for summer.
Nice fingerstyle there Kavin, both intricate and relaxing at the same time. Very technical work, I bow to you sir ;)
Great pickin'! Nice flow all through this piece. I love a good acoustic slide, you just don't get to hear it often enough out there
Wow....this track is easily going on my faves, just awesome...well done
Very nice, you really nailed this one!
Powerful and hook laden track, great opener!!
Slightly tainted in darkness with some luscious tones once again, great stuff.
Fantastic piece from the Fox! I really liked the writing in this one. I there had to be some socks mentioned somewhere on this album!...lol
a fitting title track, grrreat sounds in this one! Really beautiful guitar work in that lead line, awesome tone Gary!!
