Just a little cover tune I did in preparation for last year's live RPM Challenge album "Letters."
Nylon string Yamaha travel guitar, vocals, and one mic... Missed notes and all.

FOUND IN THE MOVEMENT
She moves in a spinning reminder
A violent link to the past
Don't you dare try to define her
She might not be big, but she's fast
A release of God-given aggression
An arm near her head in defense
Somewhere just short…
Andy Samford kicking ass on guitar, Brian Martin on bass, and Jim Garn (MTC) on drums... A song that was assembled bass-ackwards.
I'M FIGHTING TIME
Sitting in the movies back in 1985
The first long weekend in July
With Doc and Einstein…
LOST IN THE GRAY
Never ran into the water on a summer day
Never had the time to find a better word to say
Never tried anyway
Never thought I'd ever try to find another way
Never even thought I'd ever really want to stay
Never knew how…
Arrangement by Jana Persson (Strummindude)
Accompanying vocals by Andrea Szirbik
CIVIL WAR
Holding down the borders
What's mine is yours
Folding down the corners
Of pages meaning more
Walking on the wire
Never thought to look for…
Thanks to Colin Garvey for giving his energy to this little duet... And to Genevieve for making good on a promise.
BORN AT THE RIGHT TIME
Born at the right time
Underneath the summer sky
Always walked a fine line
Making good and barely…
My first completed 2013 RPM track. Thanks to Kavin for turning a simple acoustic song into what you hear today.
ONE LAST DANCE
I never got to tell you what's been on my mind
It might be just as well now that we're running out of time…
This track brings me to my knees everytime I listen to it. I could fave this thousands of times if alonetone would let me. One of the most beautiful tracks around.
TURN ROUND
All your turns
All your pain
Lessons learned
Will remain
Hiding in the silence of a footstep
Some familiar sound
Walking toward the east before the sunset
Turn round
Lost in thought
Troubled mind
All you’ve fought…
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…
JUST AS WELL
Why is youth so beautiful
And why’s it always wasted on the young
When did my days go flying by
So many passes of the sun
There’s so much I could tell you
So much I’d like to say
It might be just as well
You never heard…

DANCING IN THE LIGHT
Got you on my mind
Like every other day
From now until the end of time
I haven’t found a way
To take you dancing in the light
And take you running in the night
I’m thinking you just might
Like to go dancing, dancing…

Hooray for live takes! This is magnificent. At the same time both a perfectly sparse and wonderfully rich arrangement... And loving the acoustic jam to run the song out.
Keep the good stuff coming, Corbin!
Faved instantly upon hearing that guitar. Man, have you ever heard of Steve Boynton? Great vocalist, songwriter, guitarist... Similar delivery at times...
He's got nothing on you.
Faved within five seconds. What a perfect finale to such an incredible album. This is about the most perfectly produced thing I've ever heard. Every song has been given the care and treatment it deserves.
A brilliant understanding of lyrical structure vs. looseness. "I cause trouble... I cause trouble."
Truly one of the great American albums of our time. I'm not exaggerating. It's this good. I'm equal parts awed into never feeling like I deserve to call myself an artist and inspired to create music at a level I never have before...
All I can say is thank you, Jarrett, for sharing your creative genius.
Truly a master of setting the tone with perfectly played intros. Love the pure acoustic arrangement of this track. It allows the listener to really listen to the intimacy of the lyrics. Like being privy to a life-changing private conversation.
I've run out of things to say. I'm left speechless by the scope, vision, and flawless execution of this album.
...Which was recorded, mixed, and mastered in just TWENTY-NINE DAYS.
I am so ill-equipped to describe all that is good about this album. Definitely one that could never be properly described in words... It needs to be heard.
Faved instantly upon hearing that crunchy guitar... And damn, I wish I could sing like this.
Every song so distinct, yet all so perfectly Anchorage-Drifty. Submit this album to the Grammy nomination committee now. How can such and incredible songwriter, singer, musician not be lauded by the music industry?
I'm not kidding.
Such a slinky smooth guitar througout... And what harmonies.
"Nothing will die on my watch." God, what a perfect line to repeat, and brought to a perfect conclusion with "except for the days of my life."
Dammit... I wish I wrote that.
And now with an equally perfect electric joining for a brief appearance... This album is truly a masterpiece.
Man, what an opening build into some good ol' fashioned kick ass rock and roll. Every song sets its own table so perfectly. Mixed to perfection. Makes you work just enough to hear the lyrics... Such an incredible live feel from a studio album.
Totally blown away.
Perfect lead in on the electric and flawless drums and bass joining the fray. Love the perfect balance allowing the acoustic guitar to ring through at just the right level at all the right times. John Mayer would kill for this song.
Holy-crap-good vocals. First rate wall-of-guitar-sound production. Tight-and-edgy-all-at-once drums. Perfect arrangement and harmonies.
First rate... Simply first rate.
Great vibe on this one from the get-go. Sometimes stating the plain truth is quite simply the best way to write a song. Every word perfectly delivering the honesty of the artist.
First rate track. I may need to learn to play this one... Although whatever I come up with acoustically could never hold a candle to this outstanding track.
This song is about the RPM Challenge; having 28 days (yes, I cheated, this year we get 29) to write and record a 10 song album. The illustrious Ghost Tea (http://soundcloud.com/ghosttea) added some rhymes to make it extra special!

-Lyrics-
When the world is in battle,
It grows hard to see,
The fights that occur within lines.
Constant distraction dispensed
From the top
of the castle
With oil down its sides.
All of the effort
now wasted…
What is less....
W/M by OsCKilO
Wealthy though our Wage has long been spent.
Treasures here from old world comforts rest .
Don't have no Limousine come calling at my door.
Can't buy my time - while -I am running late.
See, hear…

Crazy good percussive arrangement along with the signature vocals with spot-on harmonies. No-brainer on faving each and every song on this album.

Damn, Jarrett. Is there any style of music you can't play?

...And as a testament to the true goodness of this song, it goes for 5-plus minutes and I'd be happy to let it run even longer.

"And if it leads to pain, then it leads to pain." Great take on setting out on the RPM warpath.
Verrrrrrry nice.
...And just back for another listen to this magnificent little song.
Such a beautifully played guitar... Osckilo in his natural habitat.
