A quick little tune written in appreciation of a small expression of contentedness.
I can see in that little smile
You're living for the moment
Every once in a little while I catch it
No one else could match it
You're more than meets the eye

what a great collection of songs. very inspiring. i think of ditching the band and doing a solo acoustic thing. this makes me think even harder. great words. your vox keeps getting stronger . great stories. incredible rpm effort!
The title track for this year's RPM album. One mic. Live take. Please forgive the missed notes.

This year will be my fifth year coaching one of my daughters in tee ball, and although I played ball competitively into my thirties, coaching the kids is easily the most fun I've ever had on the diamond.

One of the first songs I ever wrote... When we bought our first house, we had a nice big back yard on a 1/3 acre lot... With the train tracks just on the other side of the back fence.
After writing this song about our newly adopted dog, I asked Kavin if he like to play some slide guitar, knowing that he would come up with something terrific... I just had no idea how terrific.

Your strumming arm is like a piston on this one! The lyrics could be appreciated by anyone who works for a living. Another delightful tune, wonderfully performed!

I am really impressed that you only used one microphone! You have a really pleasant and earnest voice....a little like John Denver, who was my first influence on guitar. This is a GREAT tune! A great start.
A few months back, Jim (MTC) posted an outstanding acoustic track which summoned up a clear-as-day memory from my childhood. The vividness of that memory resulted in this song... Amazing how such significant events in your life (like recognizing…
When the morning sun is
On the horizon
And the birds sing softly
From the trees
As the new day dawns
It welcomes me
And I breathe the air
Of a brand-new day
Well, it’s because I’m in love
In love and sharing life with you
As…

it's all you know
so why don't you show me
just how it's done
i'm mesmerized
the way that you lie
mostly to yourself
as if you're someone else
it's killing you
these things that you do to
simply remain
not breaking ground…
RPM 2k22
sigh
waiting through the night
but you're not coming over
thought you were my lover
same
every night and day
every single moment
now you have to own it
sighing, the emptiness
the last caress, fading away
crying, the tears…

you can't remember anything tonight
cause you lost the feeling, lost the feeling
the tide is turning, the shoreline is in sight
but you've lost the feeling, lost the feeling
whenever all seems hopeless try
to remember all…

been so long, without your touch
been so long, I want so much
to finally feel anything at all

as I brush against you walking down the hall
soon all my waiting will be over
patiently await the…

never need to convince myself
I always knew
surrounded by you
I am at peace where I am
can you say it too
the past is a clue
stop waiting, for things to change
just change, anything that you want
change, anything that you…
Lyrics - CM / Music - TB, SM
You’re all alright, I can rest now
Now you’re alright, I can rest
I’ve tried so hard, did my best now
Now you’ve tried hard, did you’re best
My mind’s eye watches from afar
I love you all for all you are…
2022 RPM Challenge song number 15.
Not too bad. I can live with most of it. The vocals are kinda spotty and I don't think I'll ever use the setup I used for the first guitar solo again (vibe after fuzz? Not this red head!) but I'm mildly…
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…
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
I came awake to watch the sun drop
Counting fortunes in the stars
hope for aurora borealis
Or freeze inside just where we are
I don’t know what you know
There is no Rosetta Stone
We left the party in the garden
I’d stay, but couldn…
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…
RPM 2k22
farewell my concubine
there's no need to get the door
but i'm bored
waiting for your big surprise
I can't wait for tomorrow
for a heart to appear
my dear
and by then you know i'll be gone
there are no words left
no convincing…

Well, THIS is lovely.
This is about as spectacularly arranged an album as is humanly possible. Dang, man.
LOVING this arrangement.
Niiiiiiiice groooooooove.
This album is already feeling "Tour-de-force-y"
Dang, brother. This is OUTSTANDING.
Digging this.
Well, THAT has a nice sound... Instantly reminds me of Squeeze's Black Coffee in Bed in all the right ways!
Well, this track is just spectacular in every way.
Really digging these harmonica tracks. Seriously, first rate, y'all.
Oh, now THIS is pretty spectacular.
This might be my favorite song on the album. Really first rate production, this collection of songs.
Well, now THAT'S pretty spectacular.
Dang. Just, dang.
Dang. What a terrific sound on this track. Spectacular in every way.
I know what album I'll be dialing up later tonight!
Spectacular journey, my friend.
Seriously, Matt, this is brilliant.
Dude, this is SPECTACULAR.
Another excellent track!
