song#2 for RPMC2016
Expiration date
A rough month for rock stars
All the good ones are leaving
It's about that time
Just the songs remain and
Public grieving
I read the news today oh no
When you died they wrote you up
Counted your…
Track 9 for RPMX album Cold Ground Was My Bed
Those boots that you're wearing black and high
Reach almost up to your thigh
High heels and leather
Tight as a drum
They would even look good on your mum
Black Boots
Wear them with fishnets…
Listening to your recent uploads as I drive from Oakland to Richmond- it's a time I don't have people trying to reach me so I can really hear the music and the lyrics both. This song is fun to listen to and I like the concept. Nice chorus which makes me want to sing along.
I think someone's got a bit of crush on someone innit.
What an album! Great writing, solid performance - fab feel. Can't wait for my copy and a wonderful drive during the summer. B) Fave tracks: Over the falls and Inosculation.
A special someone mentioned Truly,Madly,Deeply which I guess is a pop song. RPM Challenge 2016
True as stars shine in the sky
So certainly that I need not ask why
As honest as a heart that's found its key
And unlocked secrets I never could…

An unusual traditional tune from the first Scartaglen album way back in 1984. Going through stuff the other day and ran across the LP and couldn't even remember the tune or having recorded it. I played guitar on this track
For the daughters of two of my favorite people.
Bonfire Lullaby
Dannah studies my hands while I play
With heavy eyes at the end of a runaround day
Fading fast ‘neath a summer night’s sky
No need to wonder why
Time stands still in her…

A homage to Steve Hackett (who wrote this piece)

This is played using John O'Sullivan's Blue JI tuning. Pianoteq and Kontakt didn't play nice together so I had add 4.81 cents to all of the flute notes.

Done for the Songcrafters.org fest Live in the Living Room, I made this recording in one take. Which isn't how I usually work. My guitar was put through fuzz and distortion…

After a long summer of doing stuff other than recording it was time to get back on the horse.
Sonically, this isn't much of a departure but I am trying a couple of new things technically.

Just beautiful!
Great playing
Nice and swingy.
always nice to hear your work
Great mix. Vocal is pristine. Nice use of metaphor.
Nice harmony and discant like voices on this one as well as great set of words.
Love the sound of your guitar on this plus the line 'stand around here waiting to die...' fabulous!
Love it great sound
An excellent RPM

<3 Ooooooh. *composes self* Ooooooh!
Absolutely great song-writing. I won't say who this reminds me of (because everyone hates that, Neil Young, cough) but it sounds like a classic.
...and this one. :) Cheeky and potent. Perfect.
Faved right off the bat - I've heard this one several times on the RPM site. An absolute delight.
Sigh...just great playing. Total class. MOODY but total class. You're the guy I want on my porch swing juz playing away all day long.
What an opener... Love the bitter sweet melody and the space here. Those light touches are superb.
@fallingupart you are correct sir, 808 drum machine in Logic, played live because I was too lazy to sequence a track!
What's supplying the percussion? It sounds as if it's an old analog drum machine, but played live?

Inventive and free. Is the cat like a tree falling in a forest?
The Dark Riders are near. Wish this were 10 times longer!
Simply lovely. Will have to search for more Scartaglen.
Great work yawl. Even rivals the great Vincent Price's recitation.
Ha!
I must echo everyone else. Beautiful songwriting.
Fantastic, inventive stuff.
This just seems to float in the air and tickle the ears. Nice epi.

Hackett and this one are a big fave of mine, nice take on a beautiful melody.
Whoosh! Yeah!
Doing some different things with the owl here. Liking the vocal/bass harmony groove.
Yes, it happens.
yay!
Call Neil! He'd like this one.
Nice one, m. Drums are my A heel too, working on that. I like the beats and mix here.
Rocks
Really sweet. Sad but hopeful. Keep on.
Cool. May take ye up on that one.
Love that groove!
