The song that really kicked off this second album of 2009.
"In time all the stars will fade away
Our kind won't get to see it anyway
No shine, just endless black between the gray
I won't be going out in that way"
Finally, the finishing touches seem to be put on this three-year-old song thanks to some very talented people.
The band is:
Liam (age 13 at the time of recording) on drums
A Girl Named Sam (she's no kid!) with the backing vocals
Genevieve…
A crazy little song written while considering Ed Robertson's plane crash from a few years back, "Any Landing" is given much legitimacy by Ashley's incredible voice and Kavin Allenson's (Kavin S. Acoustic Church) guitar.

The first recorded version of this song, this little folk song was originally written fifteen or so years ago with just the four chord rhythm guitar and single vocal. The song became what it is today when I needed to write additional verses for…
Another old song that got a little country twang when it became obvious that the horn section wouldn't be showing up on my doorstep any time soon.
"You fools don't know what's going on inside her head"
The lyrics and the riff really work well on this one. Overall the lenghth is good but I would pare it down and build a chorus out of part of it. She tells me every day, that kind of love dont fade away, could be earlier, between verses to build that memory that makes us sing along.

I was right. Your songs sound great when they have structure. I don't undersatnd why we need the repetition but for some reason it makes the song friendlier, more accessable. Very nice guitar work.
To get ready for every baseball season, my father used to pitch tennis balls to me in the backyard. He had invented a pitch that defied the laws of physics. To this day, I have no idea how he threw it. The damn thing would spin like crazy like…
Nice song. That one was easy to listen to. It had pretty good structure. Plus it took me back. I used to go to the Bowery in Salisbury when I was in my 20's. I used to do the batting cages too when I was even younger. My first time drunk was at 16 in at Salisbury Beach. I saw some good bands at the Frolics!
A few years back (when I lived it Texas), I drove out to an open field to watch the Geminids meteor shower... I really need to remember to look up at the night sky more often.

Bookending the "Late December" CD, this song about my little girls on Christmas morning holds a special place in my heart. Thanks to Sam and Mick for making it perfect.

Every christmas is different now!
It just gets better and better now my kid is here. Was just the same old stuff before...
This song captures that feeling perfectly.
Cant wait for this christmas. this is gonna be on the days soundtrack.
Superb track!
Well, about six months ago, I uploaded a rough study called "Songwriting Day One." I wasn't sure where the song would go, but words came in January just in time for this year's RPM album... And before I forget... Curse you Bm!!!
GENEVIEVE…

Finally got this song balanced properly (after so many weeks of listening and editing, listening and editing). It somehow seems so long ago that we were all covered in snow now that winter has finally relented.

In 1979, my father came home from the record store with an album that forever changed my life, Pete Seeger's Circles & Seasons. Before I knew Pete to be the blacklisted folk icon that had been on the humanitarian side of every fight since…

"You gotta put your pencil to the paper. Don't bother with the intricate chords. Hell it doesn't matter if the damned thing doesn't rhyme. Write it down. Run it through. Make some noise." These were actually the first words I wrote when…
Bedtime here, so I have to stop listening to all the great music at this site for now. But I'll be back. And I have all your music on my mp3 player anyway. :)
Great as usual!
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…
Ah... Just back to listen to my all-time favorite AD track.
This song is on such heavy rotation in the Landry vehicle that the kids harmonize during the chorus.
Comments on Keith Landry's stuff
What a beauty! Missed this one of yours
I like this one. Simple but well crafted. Nice riff adds interest. Good vocals too.
Keith this is my favorite from RPM this year. I really like this one. Outstanding song idea, great lyrics. Very well done
I really liked the guitar interlude. You and Ashley sound great together. You sound a little John Denver-ry in this one.

Real folksy. Good structure. This one even has a bridge! I like.
Nice song. That one was easy to listen to. It had pretty good structure. Plus it took me back. I used to go to the Bowery in Salisbury when I was in my 20's.

I spent 6 months in Australia a few years ago -clear skies no light polution- I get where your coming from. Oh and really like the song :)
Absolutely wonderful! w;-)
Instant favorite! Love it! w;-)

Nice guitar playing, keeps the beat going without being simplistic, and some really great moments vocally!
A perfect track.
What a lovely song , liked it from the off , great vocals

Great album, Trevor. First-rate all the way.
Crazy good.
Spectacular... Better every time I listen.
Just back for another listen to this magnificent album.
Another gem. First rate album, Jana. Really first rate.
So well done. OUTSTANDING.
Beautiful, Jana.
Best GNS album yet. What a spectacular vocal performance!
Smooooooooooth. Crazy good.
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.
Wow. All-around brilliant track.
Ha! Glad I made the CD!
Incredible album. This final track is just beautiful. You have such a tremendous sound and gift for songwriting. Truly spectacular.
Beautiful. Really as good as it gets.
Faved immediately upon hearing that Dylan-esque harmonica.
Settling in for 36:17 of "wish I could sound like that" music! This opening track doesn't disappoint. Everything musically I wish I was.
Oh my. Just spectacular.
Ah... Just back to listen to my all-time favorite AD track. This song is on such heavy rotation in the Landry vehicle that the kids harmonize during the chorus.
This album is one hell of follow-up to Vines. First rate all the way.
Brilliant.
