A slightly destructive children's song... But I suspect that many of you have tried some of the things mentioned.
I have a great idea up in my head

We'll tie the dog up to the sled

"The pictures that she paints while you're keeping time might just make you think again if you don't believe in the divine." Simply, it's a delicate little song appreciating the talents behind a beautifully written and performed song with the…

I had no idea how ridiculously good the final result would come out.

Don't Know how I missed this....
This is a Suberb Song!
Really does strike a chord with me!
The flooring reference is something I think about daily in my adult life! Lol.. Still fun!
This rules!
Happy New year!

The next step in the progression of this song... It still needs quite a bit of cleanup (and some extra arranging), but it's getting there.
Hey, everyone writes songs about falling in love (which for me was, like, seventeen years ago), so I thought…
Thanks man, it was pretty nuts. Gave it my best shot. I knew you would like the unplugged stuff. There will be more of it to, i can't wait to go play again ;)

Well, after a couple of nights of recording, this is my effort for RPM's Holiday Challenge. Personally, O Holy Night is my favorite of all Christmas Songs. I added a little winter love song intro...
COME WALK WITH ME
Come walk with me in the…
Next stop, Nashville.
Time to Let Go (Song for Ramona)
(Music by Jana Persson, Lyrics by Jana Persson and Will Gough)
Feel the hurt
Feel the pain
Aching heart
Not again
All the pleas
On my knees
Where's the cure for emotions like…
The window to the world opening. Have a listen, if you will!
Kaleidoscopy Overture
(Words & Music by Jana Persson)
Who will get it if they want?
You will
Who'll prevail as is their wont?
You will
Who will have a look
In my kaleidoscope…
"I Was Born"
Lyrics and Music by Daniel Parkhill
Greetings to my only friend, sacrifical lamb.
Ask me where my mind has been, ask me where I stand.
Guess it isn't real, guess it doesn't matter much.
Ash to ash and dust to dust, etcetera and such…
"Fail"
Lyrics by Daniel Parkhill, Music by Daniel Parkhill and Keith Landry
There's a price to pay to be the boy who popped out from a storybook
And every single day I find the jury's giving me the alibis.
So let me tell you:
I'm so-so tall…
A song about the five stages of grieving, as devised by the (late) Elizabeth Kubler-Ross. Unfortunately knowing these stages does not help you get over them.
You've been managing expectations
Consultations end in tears
Even if you're optimistic…
Oooh... It's been a while since I heard this all-time-great... This is the best thing about RPM... I'm reminded of the incredible talent that I haven't listened to for so long!
All right... Last comment about this masterpiece... A full day of any songwriting course should revolve around this song... I'll shut up now and just listen to the perfection.
Just back to listen to this outstanding song... I'm so partial to the quickly played piano... and then the harmonica that comes in... Just outstanding!
Final version
it needs a fiddle but it has a mandolin, a chicken banjo and some excellent backing vocalists
my third demo for RPM 2011
The cat's in the window and
the rabbit's in the hutch
goat's in the meadow just

This celtic folk piece is a collaboration with lyricist Donna Devine.
This is Donna's explanation:

Background: In earlier centuries, young men were captured by "press gangs" - often literally torn away from…
Vocals: Eric Savoie
Acoustic Guitar: Dan Clancy
Electric Guitars: Bobby Clohessy
Bass: Trevor Tillotson
Drums: Gerald Langenfeld
Composed by Steffen Offermann & Eric Savoie
Arranged & mixed by Steffen Offermann
Vocals: Tricia Dovidio
Lyrics: Bob Beckley
Composed, arranged & mixed by Steffen Offermann
This one was tricky to do because the piano does not play at a fixed tempo, and it was an online collaboration (like all my collaborations).
A pop/rock tune in the veins of the 80s. At least that was the goal.
UPDATE: This is the Jan 2017 version!
Lyrics: Casia
Vocals: Jessica Rasche
Solo Guitar: Bobby Clohessy
Bass: Jean Lui Toudou
Drums: Jay Carros
Composed, arranged…
Vocals: James Ryce
Lyrics: Paul Dempsey
Bass & Drums: Neal Vanderhoof
Guitar: Andrew Doherty
Composed, arranged & mixed by Steffen Offermann
James is actually a country singer. This was the first time for him to sing a jazzy piano…
Great closing song to an outstanding, personal, perfect children's album. This collection of songs may be your crowning achievement. I suspect your little one will be singing these songs with you for years.

Great opening track... Faved at 0:12!

Oooh... It's been a while since I heard this all-time-great... This is the best thing about RPM... I'm reminded of the incredible talent that I haven't listened to for so long!
You really MUST post the lyrics to this!!!
All right... Last comment about this masterpiece... A full day of any songwriting course should revolve around this song... I'll shut up now and just listen to the perfection.
Where's the "all-time-fave" button? We really need to have that installed.
...And back for this all-time-favorite!
Just back to listen to this outstanding song... I'm so partial to the quickly played piano... and then the harmonica that comes in... Just outstanding!
Listening to this track right now with my daughter... Outstanding track!!! She says "it's silly, I like it, it makes me giggle!"
Looooove the celtic music! And again with the incredible vocals!
Another outstanding acoustic guitar track! This might be the best track here, Steffen!
Another fine mellow track. Where are you finding all these incredible vocalists!
Excellent track! Love that vocal from Jessica. Outstanding production quality on this one all around... Really tight arrangement and performance.
So nice and relaxing... A great way to end a long day.
HA! "Our government are all bankers, too!"
Colin, this truly is a magnificent album. "Why are we eating beans on toast?" Brilliant!... an outstanding commentary on the financial world!
Great closing song to an outstanding, personal, perfect children's album. This collection of songs may be your crowning achievement. I suspect your little one will be singing these songs with you for years.
Outstanding, Colin... Not too dark at all. The reality of childhood is that it isn't always easy.
