Another "oldie but goodie" that had never really gotten the love it deserved... The original version came in at over six minutes (and even I recognize in looking back that it was WAY too long).
Written for a friend from days long past working in special needs summer camps... Now she's raising an autistic son, and doing an amazing job of it.
Still, none of it's fair.
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.

I have a soft spot for trains as well. In my hometown south of here I enjoyed the trains rolling by old route 66 all the time. Miss them some days.
Also really like the strumming pattern @ the :57 mark reminds me of the train horn

The title track for this year's RPM album. One mic. Live take. Please forgive the missed notes.
LETTERS
Writing while I drive with voices in my mind
Passed along by friends I’ve never met
Trying to stay alive in one place in time…
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…
Leave something for me,
I wrote this song for my dear friends who are close to me, who I love and respect.
Lyrics:
Leave something for me ,by Inge februari 2013.
Spinning round up and down and you’re wandring what it’s all about…
RPM 2013
I write letters that I have
no intention of sending
I tell stories that wander on
without an ending
I have never really gotten done
with anything
but I am finished with you
I keep water boiling
til the cooking pot runs dry…
RPM 2013 feat. Gary Fox instrumentation
quiet down now, world
bring the lights down, world
we're going to paint a little
pitch black moment
hush those city lights
those neon lullabies
we're off and dreaming with our
eyes wide open…
RPM 2013
Wearing your Favorite shirt
Missing you
Til it hurts
I'm seeing your name in
the Street signs
And the stoplights
Wishing for
Where you are
Reaching out
In the dark
I'm touching the pillow
But you're not there
And it…
Oh, that voice. Every time I hear it sing a new song, it's like the first time I ever heard it... But somehow, this song really shines vocally.
Soooooooo good.
RPM 2013 feat. Gary Fox instrumentation collab
time trickles in
defenses wear thin
these holes in our armor
grow larger each day
steel-edged chills
come in close for the kill
the line in the sand
has been trampled away
it's so wrong…
RPM 2013 feat. Keith Landry guitar collab
there is a crack
in the concrete of our wall
where the sun creeps into all
of the dark things that are
hanging in the silence
even the wind
seems too afraid to come inside
like it may know…
Comments on Keith Landry's stuff
This a good song, I like your lyrics very much and the way you pause then tap and carry on. Most effective.
So true and a lovely tribute to your friend.
