One of the first songs I wrote for "Burning Wood (the Bonfire Sessions)", and one of the last to be completed, Sam lends her incredible vocal talents to this sunny-day driving song.
LIFE IS GOOD
Windows down, my baby by my side
Life is…
The contrast of this aging "summer boy" and his outdoors-loving daughter who is more than happy to run out into the cold.
Late December
Late December
The nights get so long
Turning embers
In the dark before dawn
Late December
For…
Hiking in Rocky Mountain National Park, the opening melodies to this song found their way into my head... A song of hiking, love, and life... Won't you come with me on the trail?

Sometimes you need to stay up late to try to force yourself to dream.
When I wrote this song (and started singing it a bit), I knew that my voice could never give it what it needed... So I turned it over to one Sister Savage... And she did…
DREAMS OF THE OCEAN
Your kids'll be waking up in the morning
Just a couple of hours after mine have gone to bed
I've got the coffee warming
While dreams of the ocean are in your daughters' heads
I taught them all 'bout it late last evening…
Well, screw the metronome, damn the torpedoes, and grab a capo!
Sometimes the best versions are the ones played fast and loose. Hope you enjoy this song adapted from one of my all-time favorite poems (I'm a bit biased since my dad wrote it…

Very nice work!! Tess- if that's a demo vocal it sound pretty damn good to me. Keith- really nice arrangement on the song, nice strum pattern and some nice soft chords. Also dig the little backup vocals.

This is probably my last track for this year's RPM Challenge (leaving it incomplete for 2011). I'm kind of worn out and not feeling super inspired this year and I sort of…
Outstanding track, Doug!... I couldn't even conceive of the kinds of sounds that must be in your head if this isn't it... You really are on a higher plane of music my friend.
The explanation for this is a bit long, so if you're just looking for the lyrics, switch over to "about" and click the "view more" box below.
So I'm eating fish and chips at an Irish restaurant waiting to play an open mic in Saratoga over at…
I truly apologize for the roughness of this song, but I'm testing to see if the best way to motivate myself to finish something off properly is to have something REALLY rough up here... So I can replace it QUICKLY with something done right.

Lyrics
Take the lift and your half way up....
Reach the top and your half way up...
You didn’t see your rise, and Lost your way.....
Looking down on the world your tears fall...
You Missed the Beauty of the climb.
And now you’re…
Had the blues in Alabama
Had the blues in Texas too
Had the blues all over
Now I 'm givin' em to you
And if you don't want em
You know what you can do
You wont find me I'm goin' ta run and hide away from you
Because I see trouble
Trouble…

What a sound, Doug... Excellent work, this RPM effort!
Faved at 0:02. Damn. So good.
...And back again for this little slice of perfection.
Outstanding track, Doug!... I couldn't even conceive of the kinds of sounds that must be in your head if this isn't it... You really are on a higher plane of music my friend.
Outstanding guitar work again here. Perfectly arranged, performed, and recorded... Well done!
Outstanding!!! I can tell right from the start that this is going to be one hell of an album.
OUTSTANDING musicianship on this one, Colin!
Seriously Coin, this album is pure genius... Brings me back to when my little girls were even littler.
...And just back again to listen to this piece of healthy insanity... God those harmonies are outstanding!!!
Favorite line: "He used to be the queen of Peru."
Brilliant!!!

Great track, Doug!
Just back again to listen to this perfect little arrangement.
Hey, great to hear this one!
Ah... Good to hear this one again!
So good right from the start... And so true. This song is my new RPM anthem.
Don't know how I missed this one, Richard! Beautifully done!
Just back again to listen to this magnificent piece of work. Sooooo good.
Damn, that slide Acoustic Church slide guitar is outstanding.
