Raised on vinyl and a needle that rides

Sit in silence after Jungleland
I will not trade one bit of my soul for their pieces of gold

Loved this when I first heard it two weeks ago. Still a firm favourite for me. I love the whole album, but I think this and the closer, The Final Few Minutes, are my favourites. I guess they both speak directly to me.
In the final few minutes
That I'll be around
Will you waltz with me in it
Would you turn me down
Would you turn me down
As the time's running out
And I make my advance
Would there be any doubt
If I take the chance
Can I have one…
The vastness of the ocean
A darkness in the sky
A lifetime of emotion
How hard you've had to try
To navigate the currents
And the demons in the deep
You have to stay awake
'Cuz they might take you in your sleep
You wish that you could…
Heard something crawling in the walls this morning
Later on, I heard that fateful snap
The little critter never had a warning
I'll have to head on down to face the guilt that's waiting
When I check the trap
A pair of trees I planted in…
I saw the title when you uploaded a couple of weeks back... LOVE the title... and it doesn't disappoint (slightly different song than I'd have written with the same title, though!)
I suppose it could be worse
I know I'm lucky I'm all right
But I can tell that you've been cursed
And it keeps me up at night
So few are born to come in first
So many born into a fight
If the roles had been reversed
Would they still believe…
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…
I should've paid attention
When my buddy mentioned
The state of all the guys you'd left behind
You looked so young and wild
With that come-and-get-it smile
You'd taken over something in my mind
When we were together
I should've seen the…
In the final few minutes
That I'll be around
Will you waltz with me in it
Would you turn me down
Would you turn me down
As the time's running out

A beautiful closer to an awesome, complex RPM album. So lovely to hear new stuff from you. I agree with will of the sun, this *could* be your last, but I'd love to hear that lighter, more optimistic side of you in your final few moments! What a year it's been.

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…
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…

Fantastic song. I came here from the RPM Challenge 2022. I really love your musical sensibility. Well done. I am looking forward to checking out the other tracks in the album.

Quite a challenging album, an emotional rollercoaster; everything from an air of pessimism, to poignancy, to heartfelt. As usual, you have a great way of painting pictures and telling stories through your lyrics. I know you mentioned that you would be proud if this was to be you last album (I'm paraphrasing), and I would agree because it's a great album. However, at times the album is quite dark, which is a bit of a departure from the optimism I'm used to hearing. Hope you continue with your music.

My song for the 2014 RPM Christmas Challenge. It's all over the place with style, kind of like random presents under the tree. ;)
Merry Christmas to you!
This one was recorded back in 2011 but I never posted it. I took a listen to it recently and liked what I heard with fresh ears. It's another of my surf tunes which I enjoy making from time to time.
A quick and simple improvisational acoustic tune recorded on my iPhone with Garage Band. Originally meant only as an audio test of my new Apogee One interface, I thought it was catchy enough to post. I called it "Spring" only because I couldn…

full, the ocean inside
of meadows smelling softly
of butterflies that swallow
all, there inside, it all
it’s too painful to think
and I must be stronger
than this tornado in my
soul, there inside, to release
tidal waves erupt…

keep the fakers away
and the hipsters and the leeches from my sight

swollen and impossible to wade

hear her voice merge with the rustle of the leaves…

rosy glow

really nice man, keep up the good work
Loved this when I first heard it two weeks ago. Still a firm favourite for me. I love the whole album, but I think this and the closer, The Final Few Minutes, are my favourites. I guess they both speak directly to me.
LOVE this one... love it to bits.
Oh huge sound again - love it. Fabulous song.
I saw the title when you uploaded a couple of weeks back... LOVE the title... and it doesn't disappoint (slightly different song than I'd have written with the same title, though!)
Massive stereo! Gorgeous sound... loads of space for the message in the middle.
Oh yeah. Love that "All I am..."
This brought a smile - I've been here. This is probably my favourite.
A beautiful closer to an awesome, complex RPM album. So lovely to hear new stuff from you. I agree with will of the sun, this *could* be your last, but I'd love to hear that lighter, more optimistic side of you in your final few moments! What a year it's been.
Great to hear so many elements in this album - wonderful layering throughout, and the electric guitar in this track is so perfectly placed.
Great song writing - great arrangement.
Great moody vibe - love the depth added by the bvox towards the end.
This is a gem. Ah, lovely stuff!
Love the overlays at the end - that works beautifully in pulling out the hook!
Fantastic song. I came here from the RPM Challenge 2022. I really love your musical sensibility. Well done. I am looking forward to checking out the other tracks in the album.
I love all the guitar layering you're doing on this and other tunes on the album. Creates great depth.
Digging this, love the flange on the guitar.

Great track! Love the full instrumentation. You should open up your singing like this more often.
Wow... poignant.

This puts me in the mood to mug a department store Santa.
Sooooooooo good.
Soooooo freakin' good.
Hell YEAH!
Verrrrrry chill. Me like.
Love it. Dude.
Very chill. Me like.
As always, your beautiful soul rings through your voice, Inge! Magnificent.
Faved instantly.
That last comment was me, by the way.
Holy crap! Soooooooooo good. And it gets better by the minute. This is spectacular... And I needed it.
Beautiful. Seriously, these song-opening arrangements are just outstanding.
Another outstanding track. Seriously great album, man.
New favorite. Seriously. This song is outstanding. Every part of it. Dang.
GREAT groove to this track. Seriously. What a sound you've got on this album. Just a brilliant unplugged album. Dang.
New favorite. These opening licks are outstanding. Seriously, I could listen to these acoustic arrangements all day.
Ooooh... This track had me from the opening notes. Favorite track so far.
Love that lead acoustic guitar. GREAT sound.
Dang!
Beautifully haunting. GREAT concept for an album. If this track is any indication, RPM 2014 is going to make for some excellent music from you, sir.
