A lifetime of laughter when you were just kids
And all that came after the silly things you both did
Those times are long, long gone like they ran off and hid

Everywhere I go, there's so much noise
They try to tell you you'll be fine if you purchase their new toys
But nothing on this Earth I've ever found
Can bring me back to life when the world's run me down
When nothing else can make it right…
The first lines of the chorus just crept into my head.
I had to write the rest.
ALL IN
You've been holding back for so long now
And I've been losing track of how many times I've written my vows
It feels like you're sleeping behind the…

Tharek sent me this beautifully played guitar arrangement and told me to have at it with the spirit of Christmas, so I wrote and recorded this little message of hope and peace. Somehow when I write music with and for fellow musicians across the…

Here we stand beneath the sky
Take my hand as time rolls by
Here we stand, nobody else around
Did we land on solid ground?
Along the ledge
Side by side
So near the edge
Of the great divide
For Heaven's sake
I have no doubt
The steps…
The last wood of the season burning
Another winter - see you on the other side
After everything has died
The last leaves of the season falling
Soon the air will be filled with dark and doubt
And the fire's going out
The last night of…
I met a buddy out for dinner
To catch up on our lives
Both way less saint and way more sinner
At least, according to our wives
But as he got himself a-talking
He sounded more and more insane
What he believed became so shocking
For who…
I keep searching for a sign
From the other side
To keep my hope alive
Trying to walk the line
God knows how hard I've tried
Don't know if I'll survive
Gotta let it slide
Man, these are trying times
If you attempt to fly
You wind up…
Raised on vinyl and a needle that rides
To a paper circle at the end of both sides
Between the speakers, cover in hand
Sit in silence after Jungleland
I will not trade one bit of my soul for their pieces of gold
I've seen a world they'll…
Everybody's looking for a savior
To tell them how to live before they die
As if they can't control their own behavior
Or trust what they can see with their own eyes
Mindlessly believing what you tell 'em
When everything you tell 'em is a…
The finished product! Oldest daughter shines!
We don't always see eye to eye
And there are some days I don't know how we get by
We spend so much time caught in the race
Gotta slow down the pace
When did the river get so wide
All I thought…
Everybody's looking for a savior
To tell them how to live before they die

Some say, "It's the price you gotta pay"
Some say, "You gotta learn to walk away"
But I'm still standing in the light
And I won't go down without a fight
Some say, "True love is just a lie"
Some say, "You'll give it up before you die…
If I told you how well I know you
Would you tell me it's not true
Have you got yourself believing
No one could know you like I do
I know it's been a long time coming
So many others you thought would treat you right
But I'm gonna show you…

The RPM veteran’s committee, aka Town Counsel is a group of small town bureaucrats hell-bent on world domination and/or making fun songs. This particular track was a musical game of “telephone” where each counselor added a part to a previously…
It's a b-side song for RPM 2024, mostly because I needed a second song in order to create a playlist here.
I need a b-side songs for the flip side
A b-side song to prove that I tried
To put in the effort, to get things done
To try to…
I needed to keep the streak alive.
15 years of RPM.
But life has been in the way. Considerably. It's not worth getting into, but music is currently so far down the priority list it's not even funny.
But I found time on the 28th to…
Well, now. This is OUTSTANDING. It seems like this was the year for "get one song done to keep the streak alive." A damn good little track. Yeah. Fifteen years. Pretty amazing, my friend.

The final Song for my 2023 RPM challenge!! Dusted off my acoustic guitar (and blistered my fingers) to get this one done. Phew! I love Latin rhythms and so I found a beat and jammed it up. Thanks again to anyone who listens -it's really fun…
Made it through another year
Still don’t know why I’m here
Make some music drink some beer
Sounds alright to me
Loved ones leave
Friends come then go
Everything can change so quick
Don’t let the bullshit bring you down
Just enjoy this…
RPMers I salute you
Ice ice everywhere like a skating rink
I don’t wanna go nowhere
I don’t wanna think
I’ll just stay inside press record and sing
RPM is here
it’s 2am what else to do
Make up rhymes strum a chord
Find a good groove…
Don't let it be said that I've forgotten my love of R.E.M.
Dream of a life that’s never been seen
A world of possibilities, a place in between
A place of shadows, a place of light
A place of secrets, hiding in the night
Oblique, oblique…
I asked to robots to help me write a song in the style of Tom Waits.
Riding on a train to the edge of town
Where the night has just begun
People on the street with nowhere to go
Living hard and having fun
Everywhere I go there’s a song…
A large portion of this record was written with my friend Wilsun in mind. If anything, this is an album to amuse him. To ensure I achieved that goal, I tried to write a song that reminded me of "Life In A Northern Town", although it actually…

This is a dynamite Keith Landry vocal.
Great sound on this, lots of space. Love the call and response outro. Excellent EP, Keith!
Love the guitar sound on this, crisp and clear. Heartbreaking lyrics.
Heartfelt and poetic, nicely done!
Really well done Keith. Nice use of space in the music. Smooth vocals as well.

This is something I've experienced as well. And have used that in a song too! Great job, btw.

Great stuff Keith!
Very nice, one of my favorites of yours!
Great song. Lovely father-daughter harmonies. You’re a lucky man, Mr. Landry.
Sooooooooooooo good! I am freaking out over this song.
Another great tune just begging for a full band treatment.
Someone needs to give this a full band treatment. You have a serious pop vibe working here.
Excellent polished sound here, Keith.
