OUSTANDING collaboration with the great Gary Fox.
ONE AND ONLY
How many times have you been
Captured by a camera
With no one really knowing who you are
Caught in the sight lines
In the background
In the corner of their eyes
Never…
When the girl in the room is just too cute for me to concentrate on whatever it was I was trying to do.
Anything Done
How am I supposed to get anything done
With you looking like that
I'm so far gone
I'm forgetting where I'm at
How…
Wrote this and performed it for my mom's 70th birthday party. Our family is a bit crazy.
FORTY-THIRTY
Well, your birthday rolled around again
The way all birthdays do
And this year it’s a big one
Once again you’re sixty-two
I’m sorry…
Well, I had to swear SOMEWHERE in the album.
GIRLS LIKE YOU
You’re young and pretty
Shy and smart and witty
With a face that could’ve
Launched a thousand ships
Tall, dark, and stupid
He must’ve paid off cupid
To get his ugly face…

PATCHWORK PLAN
You don’t have a job and I don’t have a place to stay
I make just enough for all the bills you have to pay
We won’t roll in dough but who needs money anyway
It don’t sound half…

The title track to this year's RPM album. The lines actually forced themselves into being and then straightaway demanded that no other lines should be written.
When the songs speak that loudly, I do what I'm told.

THE LIGHTHOUSE
You hide an ancient soul
Behind your tired eyes
You keep a heart of gold
Buried deep inside
At least you tried
Always in control
Of what the world might see
Has taken quite a toll
You’re afraid that you might be
Lost…
The Barn Storm (another band here on alonetone) is about as good as it gets. I had the fleeting idea last year that I should make an album inspired by the names of as many great indie musician friends as possible.
This is the only one that…
When I was a junior in high school, I read the book "Illusions" by Richard Bach. It was "that book" for me and at age sixteen I started realizing what I was capable of becoming.
I read it again twenty-five years later, and as the line in the…
One of my favorites from this year's album, probably because I didn't have to write the back story.
Little sis wrote a novel called "The Wishmaker" set on an island off the coast of Maine. I'm betting y'all'll be seeing it on shelves soon…
THE LIGHT OF YOUR SMILING FACE
I’ve been warming my hands in the light of your smiling face
I never knew what I was missing
I thought I had it all
Summer fading in the distance
I wasn’t ready for the fall
Leaves turn gold
Just before…

MIGHT BE A SIGN
I didn’t think about you all this weekend
While I was standing in the rain
I didn’t worry ‘bout where you were going
Or where you might have been
It might be a sign I’m going insane
I didn’t think about you all this evening…

Such a great acoustic guitar-centered album. And this may be my favorite Calculus Affair song... Check that... This is definitely my favorite Calculus Affair song.
Messing with pitch adjustment in Garageband (and getting a bit carried away)... I use this primarily as a 90-second countdown for competitions in my 7th grade math class (kind of a Jeopardy theme song).
Someday I'll actually teach myself how to play this song for real... Only a drag-and-drop composition for now, but awfully nice to listen to (particularly the gentle part at around 2:00).
No, this is NOT me playing... Just some arranging of drop and drag samples out of Garageband for Mac I was messing around with while learning how the program worked a few years ago.
Well, this is the hastily written, poorly performed, weakly sung, badly mixed love song I threw together a few years back about the last time I saw the Northern Lights. It happened to be the night I fell in love with my future wife (and knew…
Sitting around in my shop a couple of days ago with the Goodall and the Zoom H4N. First time I've really messed with using the internal mics on the H4N in multitrack mode
Wow... So envious of such talent. This is just an outstanding track, Kirk. If ever you'd like to play anything (and I mean anything) on any of my tracks, just say the word! Damn this song is beautiful. I bow to the master.
Thanks for listening to this track... Of all the songs I've written (or should I say of all the songs that have written themselves through me), this one is my favorite.
Comments on Keith Landry's stuff
This song sounds so good.. I think it is one of the best songs the meshes so well. ..but you still sound bald.
Wow. I really like this one. The rhythm isn't just "dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun.." its got some skip to it. Approved.
Loved your entire album this year. This one, in particular, stands out as a terrific story told with love. ER
Sometimes It's just necessary to use those words!
This is great stuff Keith! Wonderful lyrics!
Keith, this is excellent, fun, personal, and really great,, thanks rik
Nice lyric work to open this up Keith :)
3 or more kids with nothing to do... yep... that was the way back then, don't know how they (and we) did it! Fantastic lyrics and so true.
Cool title track - short and sweet, sounds great!
Wonderful, Keith! w;-)
This is so fun! w;-)
My fave so far. Just beautiful! w;-)
Absolutely love this. w;-)
Let's hope it's a while yet Keith.....
You're on roll! Can't wait to hear the entire project! w;-)
Love. w;-)
Absolutely beautiful track, Keith. w;-)
Wonderful lyrics. Wonderful track! w;-)

Wisdom in that book,.. Nice work, I like it Keith.

Another great track from this excellent album.

REALLY nice guitarwork. Just a really nice song.
Ooooooh. This I like, particularly the simple acoustic opening.
Ooooh.... Veerrrrrry nice. Wow.
I apologize in advance for the slight run into "cheesy-ness" at around 0:40... A bit "Romeo's Tune-ish" there for a minute, but all in good fun.
Just some more drop and drag... Personally, I'm addicted to the little "Thomas Crown-ish" piano runs at around 1:30.

Ah... This track is just good for the soul.
Ha! This is great fun to listen to... Love the sax! Enjoy that couch!

Very nice!

A little rebalancing... Some arrangement starting at 2:00 or so... But same sweet little song and same incredible vocals from Sister Savage.
Very nice track... Great arrangement... Simple and sweet. Nicely done!
Hey kid! Great song! Great harmonies! Soooo good to hear new stuff from you... More please!
Great track!
Thanks for listening to this track... Of all the songs I've written (or should I say of all the songs that have written themselves through me), this one is my favorite.
