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.

I did not sleep enough last night, and it's all your fault! I listened to all the songs of yours that I had downloaded to my mp3 player instead.
Great music and guitar playing.
Inspired by a picture of my sister at the top of the Estes Cone (I was too out of shape to get up there myself... something I need to do when I return to RMNP).

I've listened to three of your songs so far, and I loved them all. I guess I will have to download and listen to the others when I find the time. I'm sure they are all great songs too.

When the morning sun is
On the horizon
And the birds sing softly
From the trees
As the new day dawns
It welcomes me
And I breathe the air
Of a brand-new day
Well, it’s because I’m in love
In love and sharing life with you

RPM 2k22
it's all you know
so why don't you show me
just how it's done
i'm mesmerized
the way that you lie
mostly to yourself
as if you're someone else
it's killing you
these things that you do to
simply remain
not breaking ground…
RPM 2k22
sigh
waiting through the night
but you're not coming over
thought you were my lover
same
every night and day
every single moment
now you have to own it
sighing, the emptiness
the last caress, fading away
crying, the tears…
RPM 2k22
you can't remember anything tonight
cause you lost the feeling, lost the feeling
the tide is turning, the shoreline is in sight
but you've lost the feeling, lost the feeling
whenever all seems hopeless try
to remember all…
RPM 2k22

been so long, I want so much

soon all my waiting will be over
patiently await the…
RPM 2k22
never need to convince myself
I always knew
surrounded by you
I am at peace where I am
can you say it too
the past is a clue
stop waiting, for things to change
just change, anything that you want
change, anything that you…
Lyrics - CM / Music - TB, SM
You’re all alright, I can rest now
Now you’re alright, I can rest
I’ve tried so hard, did my best now
Now you’ve tried hard, did you’re best
My mind’s eye watches from afar
I love you all for all you are…
2022 RPM Challenge song number 15.
Not too bad. I can live with most of it. The vocals are kinda spotty and I don't think I'll ever use the setup I used for the first guitar solo again (vibe after fuzz? Not this red head!) but I'm mildly…
Pointed sextant toward the north star
True direction is where you are
Roads of Rome lead to elsewhere
Can we go, no echo, no opinion
Unreal show, on your phone, no one’s watching
A din of quiet desperation
Soothing blanket fort vacation…
In the fading light, I compose a line
And then tongue tied tangled down upside
Unbroken
Unspoken
Better than the words I would have stumbled over
If you read my eyes, you could catch my vibe
Then I wouldn’t have to die inside
I came awake to watch the sun drop
Counting fortunes in the stars
hope for aurora borealis
Or freeze inside just where we are
I don’t know what you know
There is no Rosetta Stone
We left the party in the garden
I’d stay, but couldn…
Where did you go, man on a mission, path of omission
Out of control, lack of contrition, where did you go
You hid the clouds, black helicopter, waiting forever
A man the crowd, a plant or an actor, where did he go
You were caught there…
RPM 2k22
farewell my concubine
there's no need to get the door
but i'm bored
waiting for your big surprise
I can't wait for tomorrow
for a heart to appear
my dear
and by then you know i'll be gone
there are no words left
no convincing…
