The faucet drips the wind don’t blow
The sun won’t set the day is long
When I’m away and you’re not here
The time is slow because love is gone
Shadows creep across the lawn
The day won’t end to bring the dawn
I’m not here my thoughts they…
For 2011 RPM Challenge album John the Resonator
A Sword and Sorcery parody. With Elvis.
Daughter Brit sang the vocal in the middle part.
Elvis was the mountain king
Who ruled the land of El-Karyaang
His wife Priscilla lady fair
Was taken…
I’m going down
To the ground
Half a step
Then look around
I make an unsettling sound
Devil in the details
Music is the thing
The flatted fifth
Makes a diabolic ring
I’m going down
To the ground
Half a step
Then look around
I make an unsettling sound
Devil in the details
Music is the thing
The flatted fifth
Makes a diabolic ring
Since you’ve gone
It’s all gone south
The dunces took over
Stupidity rules
They open their mouth
To prove they’re fools
You didn’t believe in god
And made me wonder how
If there was one
How could he allow
What evil has been done…
Since you’ve gone
It’s all gone south
The dunces took over
Stupidity rules
They open their mouth
To prove they’re fools
You didn’t believe in god
And made me wonder how
If there was one
How could he allow
What evil has been done…
Since you’ve gone

What evil has been done…
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…
start here at the airport
feels like im going blind
middle of the day in a dark bar
1000 miles away from peace of mind
im tring to remember
when i was a kid
did the sun set in my back yard
i think it did
what comes before and goes on…
Man this is incredible. The off kilter feeling of the music belies the deeply personal lyrics. Like being in a funhouse with a slanted floor, but someone is crying in the distance.
you are like the rain that falls with the snow
or is it the other way around
i dont know
all i know is i love you
and cant get above you
it is driving with no place to go
the muscle and the bone i find
that keeps my heart in line

Well I been playing the blues for so long
Kinda feel like playing jazz x 2
I dig the random instrumentation.
Play this in eight over three and a half
I been playing the blues for so long, make me feel like tryna rap x 2

Growing up is hard.
For everyone.

Comments on kavin.'s stuff
Nice
Ooh yeah! Love it
Super scary…. What happens if we play it backwards like the White Album?
You’re scaring me man. That’s some evil rock and roll there. I love it!
Acoustic guitar slaps and pops with loopy loops wow. :) BW
Now that is pretty classy and cool ..... and I'm checking out that tuning ... mind you !?!? ....
This is gorgeous!
This is a tasty bit of music. I love those acoustic instrumental sounds.
Good clean sound acoustic electric semi-classical with a touch of Layla at the end. BW :)
Dark and light at the same time!
Wow
Very good sounds :) BW
Is good like a tubular bells thing. :)

Wonderful guitar work!
Like this one alot!
Man this is incredible. The off kilter feeling of the music belies the deeply personal lyrics. Like being in a funhouse with a slanted floor, but someone is crying in the distance.
Excellent! Like the additions you made since the first demo. Great album dude!
Yes. This is the favorite. Great album man!
the river is now in my best of RPM09 itunes playlist! Incredible.
This is crazy good. I want to describe it as "angular melody". Does that make sense?
This, and Setting Sun, are favorites from yer album. Neat effect on that guitar.
Really like these solo guitar/voice tunes. It's hard to make that style compelling, but with your songwriting, you pulled it off!
Great songs. Great harmonies. Kind of Beach Boys meets Roger Waters.
I think this is my fave from your album. But then I'm a sucker for a good blues tune.
This one, and Feelings, are my favorites, good job Rick.
That's really great. Love the chord choices, harmonica, vocal, well..everything!
These lovely guitar soundscapes just keep coming. Great RPM album!
To key88: No overdubs. Thanks!
I'm diggin' these instrumentals!
Good work, JMT. Thank you.
I really like this instrumental version alot!
That's trippy cool.
Good to see you here! THanks for sharing the album. After the RPM dust settles I may have to spring for the hard copy.
