I almost forgot I had this one lying around. Written for (RPM musician and composer extraordinaire) Michelangelo's January challenge, I had to use two random words out of the dictionary... So this little bit of foolishness (using industry and…
A song written for a great girl who'll be getting married next year...
"You'll always be this young if love comes first
And you stay filled with life."
I love it when someone writes about the real in life. This is it. The kind of song that carries through life's changes. Music and the voice married perfectly.
The sweet little girl I can't seem to get
Out of the back of my mind
Isn't quite sure what she's looking for yet
And I worry about what she'll find
Working so hard looking out for herself
I know there are times all alone
She's always had…

This made me cry. At breakfast time. You made me cry whilst making breakfast for everyone. They have soggy chocolate toast and cheerios now. And my coffee is salty. Beautiful, touching song. I wish I'd written this for my little daughters.
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"
All right, so one of those silly songs needed to find its way onto the album. In an effort to teach the students on my middle school team about rhythm in poetry, I wrote this little bit of foolishness about a fictional character (so yes, you…
"The pictures that she paints while you're keeping time might just make you think again if you don't believe in the divine." Simply, it's a delicate little song appreciating the talents behind a beautifully written and performed song with the…
My wife woke up one morning and said "I had a dream about (someone we'd just lost) the other night." When I asked her if she was okay, she replied, "Yeah, it was good to see her again."
Well, it's an honour to be the first to listen to this incredible song. Love the hopeful sentiments about our mercurial life force. And your delivery is, as ever, delicious!
This year will be my fifth year coaching one of my daughters in tee ball, and although I played ball competitively into my thirties, coaching the kids is easily the most fun I've ever had on the diamond.
Such a great acoustic guitar-centered album. And this may be my favorite Calculus Affair song... Check that... This is definitely my favorite Calculus Affair song.
Messing with pitch adjustment in Garageband (and getting a bit carried away)... I use this primarily as a 90-second countdown for competitions in my 7th grade math class (kind of a Jeopardy theme song).
Someday I'll actually teach myself how to play this song for real... Only a drag-and-drop composition for now, but awfully nice to listen to (particularly the gentle part at around 2:00).
No, this is NOT me playing... Just some arranging of drop and drag samples out of Garageband for Mac I was messing around with while learning how the program worked a few years ago.
Well, this is the hastily written, poorly performed, weakly sung, badly mixed love song I threw together a few years back about the last time I saw the Northern Lights. It happened to be the night I fell in love with my future wife (and knew…
Sitting around in my shop a couple of days ago with the Goodall and the Zoom H4N. First time I've really messed with using the internal mics on the H4N in multitrack mode
Wow... So envious of such talent. This is just an outstanding track, Kirk. If ever you'd like to play anything (and I mean anything) on any of my tracks, just say the word! Damn this song is beautiful. I bow to the master.
Thanks for listening to this track... Of all the songs I've written (or should I say of all the songs that have written themselves through me), this one is my favorite.
Comments on Keith Landry's stuff
Great work! Awesome warm-up for RPM!
Glad you like it... You should go listen to the original if you haven't had a chance yet.
Absolutely loved this one, made me fall in love with my own true love all over again
great treatment of a nice, tender song.
Beautiful song! Love the sparse arrangement

This is such a wonderfully uplifting spring-morning playlist. We've all enjoyed your beautiful sounds this morning.

Another great track from this excellent album.

REALLY nice guitarwork. Just a really nice song.
Ooooooh. This I like, particularly the simple acoustic opening.
Ooooh.... Veerrrrrry nice. Wow.
I apologize in advance for the slight run into "cheesy-ness" at around 0:40... A bit "Romeo's Tune-ish" there for a minute, but all in good fun.
Just some more drop and drag... Personally, I'm addicted to the little "Thomas Crown-ish" piano runs at around 1:30.

Ah... This track is just good for the soul.
Ha! This is great fun to listen to... Love the sax! Enjoy that couch!

Very nice!

A little rebalancing... Some arrangement starting at 2:00 or so... But same sweet little song and same incredible vocals from Sister Savage.
Very nice track... Great arrangement... Simple and sweet. Nicely done!
Hey kid! Great song! Great harmonies! Soooo good to hear new stuff from you... More please!
Great track!
